[SUBMISSION] Dual Barrel Laser Rifle

I never noticed the firing sound was playing twice. It sounded natural enough to me, but it doesn't sound bad after the change, so whichever you prefer...

Speaking of sound, here's something weird regarding the pickup sound. I noticed there was an empty line in the "Spawn" state, after "Stop" and before the closing brace for states, so I tried deleting the empty line; after removing this line, the regular Doom weapon pickup sound plays when picking up the weapon IN ADDITION to the firing sound; and, the firing sound also still plays when using IDFA (the standard pickup sound doesn't, though). I have no idea why an empty line would prevent the standard pickup sound from playing, but there it is. I noticed there was also an empty line in between "Inventory.PickupMessage" and States; I tried deleting that too, but it didn't affect anything.

I did finally determine what was causing the firing sound to play upon pickup, although not why. Apparently the state "Held" is native to the "Inventory" class. When I noticed this, I changed the name of the "Held" state in the weapon to something else; after doing so, the firing sound no longer played when the weapon was picked up or IDFA'd. So I guess redefining this particular state causes odd side effects.

I would never have picked that to be the problem. v7.1 is up now with that fix, and also fixed a few pixels that were bugging me.

Great! I think the only really pressing issue left is standardizing the pickup string. This is really close now.

Oh, and it just occurred to me--since this borrows some assets from the Gatling Laser, is the Gatling Laser going to need an update to take advantage of any of the polish aspects applied to this submission? Like additional lights, etc.?

Standardizing the pickup string? I'm not sure I quite follow what you mean lol... is that the pickup message? (I feel stupid for asking that :huh: )

Yea Ill pm you with an updated link for the Gat Laser as soon as I've implemented the changes.

By "pickup string" I mean changing it to "You got the Dual Laser!", to be consistent with other weapons' pickup messages, instead of "Picked up the Dual Laser", as it is now.

Also, updates need to be provided as "new" submission threads. That way we have a paper trail if something goes awry. You can forego all the usual preview and info stuff; it can just be a link to the new version with a description of the updated changes.

Cool, that's what i thought, easy done. Aside from that, is there anything else you think needs a bit of work or touch-up (just in case you see this and reply before I get home) regarding the dual lasers?

Edit: Updated v7.2 with changes.

I personally think it's ready-to-go, unless Blue Shadow has any additional feedback. If he does not, I'll upload it in the near future.

No, nothing to add here.

Sweet. I'll get this uploaded in the next couple of days then.

Nice to finally see some positive activity on the Repo front again!

Cool, I'll keep making things exclusively for r667 then so long as I've got the effort for it
