Hi Guy's We have our Zoom working (6 zoom steps) extreme Zoom for COD4 set to use the V key however, when the zoom is used by the V key , our zoom skips from 1-4 and some times 1-5 Zoom instead of 1-2-3-4-5-6 with each click. But if we assign V as the mouse scroll wheel then the zoom will work correctly. We are using the extreme mod.. If you need to see the script I would be happy to post it... In hopes someone has come up against this problem in the past with any zoom function.

Thanks for any help in advance
We be Stuck lol.
SSG.D

Can you post the script so we can see if there are any errors.

Maybe V is a repeating button, but the mouse scroll is one at a time or something...yeah, we need the script

If you don't see the fauld here I will show the other two:
Thanks guy's

Try replacing:

if ( self meleeButtonPressed())
{
zoom++;

if (zoom == 7) zoom = 1;

if (zoom == 1) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "40");
if (zoom == 2) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "20");
if (zoom == 3) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "15");
if (zoom == 4) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "10");
if (zoom == 5) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "5");
if (zoom == 6) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "3");
}
}

if(isDefined(self.hud_zoom) && self playerADS() != 1 ) self.hud_zoom destroy();
}
}

with:

if ( self meleeButtonPressed()) 
{ 
wait 0.1;
zoom++; 

if (zoom == 7) zoom = 1; 

if (zoom == 1) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "40"); 
else if (zoom == 2) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "20"); 
else if (zoom == 3) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "15"); 
else if (zoom == 4) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "10"); 
else if (zoom == 5) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "5"); 
else if (zoom == 6) self setclientDvar ("cg_fovmin", "3"); 
} 
} 

if(isDefined(self.hud_zoom) && self playerADS() != 1 ) self.hud_zoom destroy(); 
} 
}

hello
iam abit new at this i understand the scripting only i can't find where to place it.
iam running a custom extreme sniper mod 3 mods in 1 i made it but really would like to have the zoom.
thanks
greets

Adding a longer wait works well too - keeps it from reacting too quick.

I use a: wait 0.6;

Gives time for the scope to react and for the player to see the change.

I think that a boolen variable is definitely the best choice.
Something like that:

flag=false;
if ( self meleeButtonPressed() && !flag){
flag = true;
...
//the rest of the code
...
}else{
flag=false; 
}  

so the player must press and release the melee button every time to get the zoom increment, doesn't matter how long he will press it.

There's a neat thing I discovered how to do:

while(1)
{
wait 0.05;

//stuff

while(self meleebuttonpressed()) wait 0.05;
}

So once they've pressed it, it waits until they've let go.

Hi all,

I'm really new at this, can you tell me if it is possible to use another button then melee? I mean like assiging to button 3 instead of melee.

something like;
while(self buttonpressed("BUTTON_3")) wait 0.05;

cause i tried the above option, but can't get it to work?
assigning to fragbuttonpressed and so on does work;
Can you only assign these things to a function?
Is it then possible to create a function myself?

Hope i made myslef clear. Thanx in advance
