Hello !
I’m currently working on a dirty game prototype for a contest, and I might need a bit of help !
in my game, the player handles only one weapon, but it’s characteristics will change as he picks up and plugs in some items.
Here are the 5 parameters :
- precision / spread
- number of bullets ( from one to ‘x’, so you can create some kind of shotgun)
- power + speed
- reload time
- heat / cool-off speed
these parameters are basically ints, maybe floats, I don’t know yet.
Concretely, since I’m short on time, I was going to modify the machinegun to make it the “host” of this weapon …
… And that’s it, I don’t know where to go to continue !
Obviously these parameters have to be shared by client and server. In which struct should I host it ? Will putting it in gentity_t->entityState_t would be good ?
I’ll later have to manage an inventory for the player, I think that kind of data could be in the same place …
I’m sure I’ll have other questions coming ><
Thanks for reading, and sorry for my ignorance 
cheers !
