Hi,
I'm currently working on a multiplayer game, and I want to use the scifi blaster as a starting weapon. I want to change it so you just hold down the mouse to fire as if you were clicking it over and over. I ran into a problem, the soundloop doesn't go any lower, so it still fires way too fast for a pistol, any ideas?

Here's my gunspec for the blaster:

Put firerate=X in there. X being the number of frames between shot times 2. For example, 12 is default. To make it fire slower, try something like 16, 24, etc.

Add some silence/dead air to the end of fire.wav. I don't think that super high fireloop value helps you out either. I think about 15000 or so is as high as you can go without having problems.

Ok, I got it down, the animation, sound and firerate are in perfect syncronization, but, when I fire just one shot, there is no sound! What do I do now!?

Did you add the delay to the beginning of the sound or to the end of it? Depending on the version of FPSC you are using, there may be a bug causing the sound to stop playing as soon as the start fire animation completes (even if the .wav has not finished). You might be able to add a soundframe manually calling the fire sound instead of relying on the engine to play it.

I added the silence to the end of the file, and just to clarify, it's not after the clip is finished when the sound doesn't play, its only when you just click the mouse (1 shot) Hope I didn't confuse you more

Oh and great chainsaw BTW
