Wrist mounted flame thrower request


Weiser_Cain

Recommended Posts

Ah, but I don't want to be a droid. My first idea was cybernetics, then I thought hey, why not have a built-in flame thrower to compensate not being able to use force lightning(it's only fair). And like most of my ideas this was totatly out of my skillset(not to mention undoable as far as I know). Not that this is' but it just seems more doable...

Hmm.. I wonder what would happen if you took one of the droid flame weapons and modified one to allow it to be used on humans and equipped on the wrist.

 

One would think that would work...

 

I'll have to give it some thought. Been a while since I actually messed around with items.

you could othe carbonite projector as well and put fire on one wrist and ice on the other. and i forget what the other droid parts were, i think like a sheild disrupter, a stun ray, and some kinda gravity thing (maybe like force pull??)

 

an other idea would be to make it a force power, (force flame/force ice) which also shouldn't be that hard

 

i guess since its a wrist band it would be listed down with the other defensive ones, any way to put it somewhere in the offensive action menu you think? i guess the most logical place for an flame or ice wrist band would be under grenades, but i wouldn't know how to get it to go there.

 

wow, i rather like these ideas, since i never used my droids, except on the missions that i had to, methinks i'll also give this a shot

what about a flame thrower weapon ?

 

ie a gun not a wristed mount weapon

 

we already have the guns int he game and something like the heavy repeater should be a ok sub for a flame thrower weapon until we can actually break the model stuff we need to break

The flame thrower is a spell so you might be able to add it to any thing you want, but keep in mind it will probly have to be set up the way it is the gamewith charges, you could make the charges unlimited though. I haven't tried this out so who ever tries may run into unexpected complications, but thats part of the Fun right :) .

Ah... but it would. IF you also told those droid parts which inventory slots they were allowed to fit in on a human.

 

You have to remember that the slots for a human and those for a droid are different. They wind up in the same layout, but they're still not the same type of slot. ;)

According to baseitems.2da, the Droid_Utility_Device (flamethrower etc.) has an equipable slot of 0x180 which is the same as Forearm_Bands. So maybe I wasn't trying to equip the item with right slot in the game?

 

But that doesn't explain why I couldn't equip droid armor. (Droid_Heavy_Plating = Jedi_Master_Robe = slot #0x2).

 

Edit:

Just noticed a little column called 'droidorhuman' in the same 2da. Hmm wonder what does... :)

 

0 = Both

1 = Human

2 = Droid

**** = not used

Wait, does that means that all youhave to do is make an clone of the flamethrower, rename it, change its icons and dump it in a shop or character inventory?

Also is there a way to make it use a second item as fuel or to refuel?

I'm not a modding guru by any means, but I believe that among the steps involved with creating a custom item, you should do the following:

 

Change the baseitem field of the cloned .uti file (g_i_drdutldev006, g_i_drdutldev007, or g1_i_drdutldev01)

from 76 (Droid_Utility_Device) to 45 (Gauntlets) or 46 (Forearm_Bands). depending on which equip slot you want.

 

That should make item usable by humans.

If you get it working, post a mod!

just out curiosity, what exactly is the character going to do when he shoots the flame thrower? like the animation, if it works just like a normal wrist band then hes just gonna activate his wrist and stand there while fire shoots out. a little strange. i haven't played in a while an i rarely used hk's flame thrower, so i dont know what kind of animation he used, or if it would be possible to use that on any other character if we got a flamethrower for humans to work. first of all hk and the human skeleton would need to be the same, beyond that i dont know. might be able to steal the animation from force shock or drain life instead. just something to keep in mind once if anyone gets this to work

I modified the Advanced Flame Thrower's uti as described above, and noticed that it had Property #57 (Use_Limitation:Feat) with Subproperty #80 (DroidUpgrade3). Okay, so I gave my PC that feat. Now I'm able to equip the flamethrower, but it still does not appear in my combat options.

 

So some progress...

TK what about making the flame thrower need implant level 3 rather then droid upgrade 3 ?

 

maybe the game reads your character realises youhave a droid upgrade and refuses to show it , not sure havent delved that deeply in to the game mechanics yet so i maybe talking out a hole in my head

Actually I decided to try removing that property tree altogether so any player could use it. Also, when changing the baseitem from 76 to 45 or 46, the icon changes (which took me awhile to realize). Still, I can't seem to find what is keeping this item's spell from appearing on my hostile icon list.

I think it might be made specifficaly for droids. I looked at the script k_sup_droid.nss, but I can't see anything that would limit the spell to droids. maybe someone with more script knowledge would see something I missed.

According to the itemprops.2da, both armbands and gauntlets (columns 16 and 21), can cast spells (row 10) -- so that looks okay.

 

I suspect the culprit lies in the spells.2da file for spell 121 since the icon isn't showing up and I remember that was sort of the same problem Tianhou_Zhong solved with his recent mod. The following columns look suspicious to me: usertype, category

 

Tianhou_Zhong had to modify the forcehostile column, but that looks good to me...? Could try tweaking that number too to a lower value.
