Weapon switching

[drewMar]

I was wondering if anyone had a good example on switching weapons. Basically I want to have about 4 weapons I can toggle through. I tried to follow a written example somewhere in the forums, but it was somewhat difficult to follow, probably due to me being so new to the platform. Thank you.

I'm sorry, it looks like I posted this in the wrong spot.

You could do this through an Alterable Value on the game character. Let's call that value "Weapon ID".
Then, assign a number between 0-3 to each of your weapons. You will use these.
On every weapon command, insert the condition: "Weapon ID" = "<assigned number>"
Then, add the following commands:

An example of how to prevent weapons from firing when they're not selected. If the "Weapon ID" is not the same as the number you've assigned to the weapon, it won't launch the object.
C) User presses SPACE
C) "Weapon ID" = "<assigned number>"
A) Launch object

To pick another weapon, you could use the scroll wheel, or a key. Adding 1 to the "Weapon ID" value causes the next weapon to be selected.
C) On mouse wheel up
A) Add 1 to "Weapon ID"

The reversed condition would trigger a reversed action; select previous weapon.
C) On mouse wheel down
A) Subtract 1 from "Weapon ID"

To prevent the "Weapon ID" value from going higher/lower than the first/last weapon's assigned number, this command. It allows the player to select the first weapon by scrolling to "Next" when the last weapon has been selected.
C) "Weapon" > 3
A) Set "Weapon" to 0

And vice versa.
C) "Weapon" < 0
A) Set "Weapon" to 3

Hope this helps! If you have questions, hit me up.

EDIT: You could visualize this by changing the animation(s) of your character/a button displaying your weapon by the same logic as the first command. (condition: Frame/animation number = "<assigned number>")
