Overview

This component allows firing projectiles from a weapon.

Requirements

Here are the main steps you need to set up a Shooteable weapon properly:

Mode and Abilities

The Weapon mode will be set by the Weapon ID

Every shootable weapon needs at least Aim, Reload, and Fire animations. Those need to be set on the Mode Abilities and the Animator Controller.

Fire Ability: 101
Aim Ability: 97
Reload Ability: 96

Animations and Animator

The Animations for the Weapons are set on the Layer Upper Body. This allows them to move around, walk, run, crouch, jump, etc, and use the shootable weapon only on the upper body.

All the Animations have a duplicated version just in case the weapon needs to be used on the opposite hand:

Fire and Reload animations are optional. they can be skipped if [Has Fire Anim] and [Has Reload Anim] are set to false.

Projectile

The Shootable weapon needs a Projectile to release. You need to set a gameobject with the MProjectile component in the Projectile parameter

Shootable Parameters

Rate

The time delay between attacks. Once a weapon has attacked or released a projectile. it will wait until this time to release the next attack

Automatic

Continues to attack if the Main Input is still pressed down.

Charge time

Weapons can be charged before releasing the attack. E.g. The bow can bend to fire the arrow.

Charge Mechanic is only activated if the Projectile is set to Release on Attack Released

Charge time Curve

Evaluate the Charge value in the Curve

Max Charge

The max value of the charge that goes from 0 to this value. This value is sent to the Animator for the BlendTree of Charge animations

Charge Character Multiplier (CM)

Charge multiplier to Apply to the Character Charge Value (For the Animator Parameter)

Aim Origin

If the projectile is equipped before the attack is released. it will be parented to this Transform. E.g. The arrow is parented to the string before it is released.

Aim Action

Sets the way the weapon will handle the Aiming mechanic

Manual: The Weapon after is equipped it need to enable the Aiming State via Input
Automatic: As soon as the Weapon is equipped it will enter the Aiming State. Firing a projectile will also activate the aiming state
Ignore: Firing projectiles does not require aiming.

Aim Side

This dictates the position the Aim Profile Camera is going to be placed, In the left or Right side of the shoulder.

Aim Limit

The weapon will limit firing a projectile if the Angle formed between the Fire Direction and the Forward Direction of the Character. Usually, this is only applied when the character is not strafing or when is mounting the horse. E.g. The Bow cannot shoot arrows in a certain angle due to the harsh position .

The angle is dictated by the Aim Component Aim Horizontal parameter.

Use Aim Angle

Adds an extra angle in the Up Direction to fire the projectile. It creates a parabole trajectory.

Unequip On Aim

By Default if the weapon is aiming, it cannot be unequipped. Enable this parameter to interrupt the Aim and Unequip the weapon.

You can set multiple options but the projectile will be equipped on the first action. All other actions will be ignored.

Release Projectile

Sets when the projectile is going to be released.

Never: The projectile will be not released by me. (This is used when Invector weapons are the ones firing the projectiles)
On Attack Start: The projectile is released as soon as the Attack Input is pressed
On Attack Released: The projectile is released after Attack Input is released. ⭐This Option enables the Charge Weapon Mechanic
