That should do it.

Looks really interesting, how did you make the animations? But you should leave the grenade launcher alone and find another solution.

[Duion]

I just noticed the very unrealistic ammo clip on the shotgun...

[Jason Campbell]

Perhaps I should give instructions on how to leave the grenade launcher alone. The animations are just from the Lurker. The only unrealistic thing about the clip is the bolt animation. You should replace the clip then give one pump to fill the breach. Perhaps I could make that animation happen, actually. Or is there something else unrealistic about it?

This is sort of what I was going for.

[Duion]

Did not believe this thing really exists, but I looked it up and it is from an air soft shop, I have never seen this kind of design on a real shotgun and I don't think it exists, since this design does not make much sense.

I wondered where you got the animations from, but now I remember the lurker grenade launcher has such an reload animation, so you used that for your reload?

There is an even easier implementation, you don't need all this FP- and TP model stuff or animations in the .dae file, you can just go copy the lurker datablock, rename it and replace the model, change the settings and done.

[Jason Campbell]

Look up the Grizzly semi auto shotgun. I'm confused, the design makes sense to me. Reloading can occur much quicker. They even make semi autos with drum mags.

Yes I used alt fire of the grenade launcher as shotgun fire. Regarding implementation, thats what I did. Copy the Lurker datablock with different spread and projectile count. The reason for two different models is for cleanliness. The third person model doesn't require any animations or bones so why not have a seperate model with only required nodes?

Of course you need animations in the .dae file. That is where they exist. The first person arms are not animated by themselves. They require the weapon for that.

Nice Jason! good work.

[LukasPJ]

This looks great Jason, thanks for sharing! And thanks for sharing the script changes too, I'm sure that'll help out a lot of people, looking to add new weapons

Would you mind if I use this as a reference for a new wiki page?

No problem. I hoped it might be useful. Please do use it for the wiki. Though Torque does have a steep learning curve , once parts of it are demystified it becomes pretty easy to digest. Thanks

[Duion]

You have to admit that you used quite some tricks for this resource, you rebranded existing animations and datablocks, but at least your weird shotgun looks good, even though it is amateurishly modeled.
Where did you get the sound files from?
