Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Hey, is there any possbile way I can make knfies thow? Just like that game CS:S? So when they right click, the knife would throw.

An SSM way of doing this would have you addTemplate a bullet to the knife, but CSM, I have no clue.... You could play around with it, and if you can, create a new bullet and maybe set an animation to it.

isnt there throwing knifes in the secret weapons expansion?

not sure

I think there is, the Commando, I believe. Try checking through the files to see. Don't have BF1942 installed as of the moment.

throwing knives are basically the non driving essence of the interstate mod!

Both teams have them as default kit.. maybe best way is to grab the mod and have a play/look through the code.. www.is82.com

The projectile Geometry would be a knife. Then you'd add the spinning effect used on the grenade [ObjectTemplate.rotationalSpeed 2/0/0]. After that, you would add bullet drop to the Projectile Template [ObjectTemplate.gravityModifier 1.0].

For the rest of the junk, just copy over the throwing Knife from Secret Weapons of WWII. It's very easy to do. You would need:

Animations from Snimations.rfa plus the Animation speed scripting
Sounds from Sounds.rfa
Textures from Textures.rfa
Meshes from StandardMesh.rfa
Images from Menu.rfa
And the scripting in Objects.rfa

So did I do this right?

Hello. I just added the throwingknife from Xpack2, and it works brilliant:).
I have done it so the throwingknife replaces the ordinary knife. And its not a mod I'm doing. only a map. So its mapside.

But, I can't figure out how to get the soldiers animation to match the throwingknife.

I have all the animation files in place and so on, but how to link it together?
I understand that it is the soldier object I have to modify. But how.... hmmm.

Look in the "AnimationStatesShoot.con" file. You should look in there for any hooblah relating to the throwing knives.

For soldier anims, there might be something in the "AnimationStatesUpper.con" file.

No. If you read my post correctly, you'd know to put the gravityModifier in the projectile template [the thing that says "create Projectile ProjectileName"]. The rotationSpeed goes under the "create HandFireArms KnifeAxis" section. For simplicity's sake, just copy the throwing knife projectile template.

A project like this isn't very easy, and is a moderate level mod.
