Bug: Sniper Zoom

[Dark Dragon]

If your sniper zoom seems to be buggy this has to do with your "next_weapon" and "previous_weapon" controls.

mta seems to have problems when next weapon and zoom in are bind to the same key, same to zoom out and previous weapon.

SOLUTION:

Put next_weapon on mouse_wheel_down ("bind mouse_wheel_down next_weapon" in the console)

Put previous_weapon on mouse_wheel_up ("bind mouse_wheel_up previous_weapon" in the console)

It is still a bit buggy afterwards, but at least it works better than before. It would be wonderful if this bug gets fixed completly in dp3

If you wanna see how the zoom should look like: bind next weapon and previous weapon on some keys of the keyboard.

Erm... first i dont know if i get the "bug" right because you didn't stated what exactly goes wrong^^ and second i never had such a problem =)

I don't get your fix but it bugs because it has zoom in and weapon switch on the same button. i have the same problem. So if you want to zoom in correctly only bind a button to zoom in. That way it zooms in without a problem.

i dont know why but it works a bit better if i set it like i said before.

Is this server independent?

Some scripts force weaponchange on mwup or down.

What you've just said isn't so much of a bug, but an obvious thing. The default keys for scrolling with weapons is the mouse wheel. If you try to script-wise add new binds to keys that are frequently in use, you're going to have multiple tasks going on.

The below example will say 'Hello, I just pressed spacebar and jumped at the same time!". Both the script bind where 'outputChatBox' is performed, and the natural GTA:SA task, where the player jumps is performed.

  
  
function playerJoin () 
    bindKey ( source, "space", "down", hello ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, playerJoin ) 
  
  
function hello( ) 
    outputChatBox ( "Hello, I just pressed spacebar and jumped at the same time!" ) 
end 
  
  

The same principle applies to what you just posted as a 'bug'.

The only proper solution would be to bind it to a different key, that isn't used by default in GTA/MTA. An example is \ or '.

those controls are bind on the same key on singleplayer too and it works fine
