Sequence Fire
This mod modifies the way your mech’s fire buttons work while dual-wielding the same arms (or atleast 2 arms with the exact same characteristics)
RMB makes both arms fire at the exact same time.
LMB fires the arms in sequence with the delay between them being half the weapon’s fire time, effectively turning the arms into a single arm with double the fire-rate.
Compatible with FU, not all arms were thoroughly tested, the mining ones work the way they should.
Compatible with the standalone mech overhaul aswell.
Not tested on any other mech-related mods that change their mechanics.
Compatibility should be measured based on if LMB mode can properly time itself, the controll trackers will work in most situations as long as all other related mods have a lower load priority than this mod, RMB can seem to run well even if the timing is messed up.
This mod uses a special (and somewhat experimental) technique to make mechs accept multiple lua files in their config, this can be tracked by checking whether there’s a "scripts" array in addition to the "script" string that’s normally there.
Any mods that edit what baseline lua file mechs use must be loaded with a lower priority than this mod, otherwise it will override multiScript, disabling this mod in the process.
Same goes with any mod that has a reason to have this mod in their includes/requires list, they must have a priority of 500 or higher, otherwise they risk making the aforementioned issue more likely to happen.
The mod tracks the arm’s internal cooldown timer whenever possible to make sure to time shots right.
In cases where that timer isn’t easily accessible it instead uses it’s own prediction timer, which may cause the fire offset to drift after continuous firing or could cause the timing to trip-up if you spam the keys.
Of all 11 vanilla weapon types, only GunArm and GatlingArm feature an externally trackable cooldown timer, every other weapon is either not viable for this mod or stores it as a local variable within a coroutine.
The mod will automatically disengage itself, restoring the vanilla controlls if:
- The 2 arms don’t have the same characteristics (same weapon type, fire the same projectiles and have the same fire timing)
- The arm type is a beamarm that fires endlessly
- The arm type is listed in the internal blacklist
If an arm has a high fire-rate, it messes with the mod’s timing due to speed limitations when it comes to lua, I don’t think I can do anything to fix that.
Here’s a list of all vanilla weapon types and their status:
