different "fire modes" in e2?

[allthatstuffproductions]

As in my last post, i made that fail, 30 second chip that lets you throw props. Problem being, a lot of servers only equip you with a phys gun and tool gun. since i have 3 "fire modes" in the chip (Throwing, Lifting, Stopping), i need three keys, and the only ones are Me:keyUse(), Me:keyAttack1(), Me:keyAttack2(). What i want to do is when i press E (Me:keyUse()), the e2 cycles through the three modes and when the mode changes, it prints that in chat. When i press right click(Me:keyAttack2()) that fire mode happens. Ex: your on "Lifting mode". right click is pressed and you lift the prop. You press E and it goes to Stopping mode. You press right click and you stop props in mid air. Heres the code i have so far, when I'm done ill release it for funnzies. i know, i know, this is a possibly mingey chip and its very noobish. well im not a practical coder, i dont solve problems, i have fun or make them.

@name throwing props
@persist Throwing Lifting Stopping
runOnTick(1)

It=entity():owner():aimEntity()
if(first()){Throwing = 1,Lifting = 0,Stopping = 0}

Me = owner()
Mass = It:mass()


if(Throwing==1&Me:keyUse())
{
    Lifting = 1
    Throwing = 0
    Stopping = 0
    
}
if(Lifting==1&Me:keyUse())
{
    Lifting = 0
    Throwing = 0
    Stopping = 1
}
if(Stopping==1&Me:keyUse())
{
    Lifting = 0
    Throwing = 1
    Stopping = 0
}

if(Throwing)
{
    print("now Throwing")
}
if(Lifting)
{
    print("now Lifting")
}
if(Stopping)
{
    print("now stopping")
}




if(Throwing == 1&Me:keyAttack2())
{
It:applyForce(Me:eye()*It:mass()*10000000) 
It:setMass(9001)
}
else
{
    It:setMass(Mass)
}

if(Lifting == 1&Me:keyAttack2())
{
    It:applyForce(((It:pos() + vec(0,0,135))- It:pos())*It:mass()-It:vel()*(It:mass()/3))
}    

if(Stopping == 1&Me:keyAttack2())
{
    It:applyForce(((It:pos() + vec(0,0,9))- It:pos())*It:mass()-It:vel()*(It:mass()/3))
}

If you use a wired keyboard, you can use almost any key (except alt, start, escape)
It spits out bytes, but its ok as toChar(97) == A

[allthatstuffproductions]

i know, i was thinking of using a wire keyboard, but i dont think you can move around while using one, can you?

Go into the weapons tab and get out the Remote Control. It doesn't do anything if it isn't linked to a pod, so it should work for 99% of cases in which you need to use keyattack1/attack2/use().

[allthatstuffproductions]

ya, i could use a remote control but the server i play on has it blocked for some apparent reason. i still think it would be cool to have a cycle sorta system.

I remember a thread about a noweapon weapon coming out on loadout made for wiremod and e2 and etc.
I know that plenty would support it, and I know a lot have talked about it on the forum and to me personally.

Here's a quick bit of psuedocode to give you a idea.
if (ChangeMode) {Mode = Mode + 1}
if (Mode > 3) {Mode = 1}
if (Mode < 1) {Mode = 3}
if (Action & Mode = 1} {Action1}
if (Action & Mode = 2} {Action2}
if (Action & Mode = 3} {Action3}

That code looks annoying...

-snip-

Now just use an if statement like "if Mode==0 {stuff with lifting code}"
yada yada yada, you know the drill ^^.

EDIT: With my new knowledge, I know this would not work, due to E:keyAttack1/2() being weird. Look at page 2 for code that works.

That code looks annoying...

@persist Mode

#Mode 0 is lifting
#Mode 1 is throwing
#Mode 2 is stopping

if (changed(owner():keyUse()) & owner():keyUse())
{
Mode = (Mode + 1) % 3
}

#Tada!

Now just use an if statement like "if Mode==0 {stuff with lifting code}"
yada yada yada, you know the drill ^^.

Eh? Could you please explain how this works because I must be missing something here... Anyway what tepholman said should work except you might want to use if(ChangeMode & ~ChangeMode) so you can't scroll past two options in one click if the chip is running frequently and also you don't need "if (Mode < 1) {Mode = 3}" if you only have one button to scroll up

Here's my Telekenesis chip. Look closely at how the chip knows when to grab, let go, throw, and move the prop. (hint: Use key and a persisted variable.)

@name Telekenesis (Stand Alone)
@persist Telekenesis HoldMod Mouse1 Mouse2 Dist
@persist TargEnt:entity O:entity
@persist Direc:vector
runOnTick(1)
interval(10)
Own=owner()
if(first()){O=owner()}
Said=Own:lastSaid()
SaidWhen=Own:lastSaidWhen()
Splode=Said:explode(" ")
Use=O:keyUse()
Mouse1=O:keyAttack1()
Mouse2=O:keyAttack2()
Mouse1C=changed(Mouse1)
Mouse2C=changed(Mouse2)
Weapon=(O:weapon():type()=="weapon_crowbar" | O:weapon():type()=="weapon_physcannon" ? 1 : 0)
if(Use&Mouse1&Mouse1C&!Telekenesis&Weapon)
{Telekenesis=1,TargEnt=O:aimEntity()}
elseif(Use&Mouse2&Mouse2C&Telekenesis&Weapon)
{TargEnt=noentity(),Telekenesis=0}
elseif(Use&Mouse1&Mouse1C&Telekenesis&Weapon)
{TargEnt:applyForce(Direc*5000),TargEnt=noentity(),Telekenesis=0}
if(Telekenesis&clk("interval"))
{
    Direc=O:eye()*100
    Pos=TargEnt:massCenter()
    EyeMod=Direc:length()+HoldMod
    HoldPos=O:shootPos()+O:eye()*EyeMod
    Dist=O:shootPos():distance(Pos)
    PVel=TargEnt:vel()
    OVel=O:vel()
    OAVel=O:angVel()
    PAVel=TargEnt:angVel()
    Mass=TargEnt:mass()
    Inert=TargEnt:inertia():length()/sqrt(3)
    TargEnt:applyForce(((HoldPos-Pos)*10-PVel+OVel)*Mass)
    TargEnt:applyAngForce(-(TargEnt:angles():setYaw(0)*25 + PAVel*2)*Inert)
}
elseif(TargEnt==noentity()|Telekenesis==0){Telekenesis=0,HoldMod=0}
if(Mouse1&Telekenesis){HoldMod+=1}
if(Mouse2&Telekenesis&Dist>=100){HoldMod-=1}

if(Splode[1,string]=="!Teleken"&changed(SaidWhen))
{
    if(Splode[2,string]:lower()=="me"){O=owner()}
    else{O=findPlayerByName(Splode[2,string])}
}
