Step 1

We are going to transform your shotgun into a damn powerful axe. First open up weapons.qc. Find void() W_FireAxe = copy the code right below it. It should look like this:

{
 local vector source;
 local vector org;

 makevectors (self.v_angle);
 source = self.origin + '0 0 16';
 traceline (source, source + v_forward*64, FALSE, self);
 if (trace_fraction == 1.0)
  return;

 org = trace_endpos - v_forward*4;

 if (trace_ent.takedamage)
 {
  trace_ent.axhitme = 1;
  SpawnBlood (org, '0 0 0', 20);
  T_Damage (trace_ent, self, self, 20);
 }
 else
 { // hit wall
  sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "player/axhit2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
  WriteByte (MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY);
  WriteByte (MSG_BROADCAST, TE_GUNSHOT);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_x);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_y);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_z);
 }
};

Step 2

Paste this right after void() W_FireShotgun = so it sould look like this:

Ok, now open up defs.qc and add to the end:

void() W_FireShotgun =
{
 local vector source;
 local vector org;

 makevectors (self.v_angle);
 source = self.origin + '0 0 16';
 traceline (source, source + v_forward*64, FALSE, self);
 if (trace_fraction == 1.0)
  return;

 org = trace_endpos - v_forward*4;

 if (trace_ent.takedamage)
 {
  trace_ent.axhitme = 1;
  SpawnBlood (org, '0 0 0', 20);
  T_Damage (trace_ent, self, self, 20);
//Change the 20 into any number you want.
//The 20 indicates the damage it will do
 }
 else
 { // hit wall
  sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "player/axhit2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
  WriteByte (MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY);
  WriteByte (MSG_BROADCAST, TE_GUNSHOT);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_x);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_y);
  WriteCoord (MSG_BROADCAST, org_z);
 }
};

Step 3

Now search for self.weaponmodel = "progs/v_shot.mdl"; and make the changes in this color:

}
 else if (self.weapon == IT_SHOTGUN)
 {
  self.currentammo = self.ammo_shells;
  self.weaponmodel = "progs/v_axe.mdl";
  self.weaponframe = 0;
  self.items = self.items | IT_SHELLS;
 }

Step 4

Compile and have fun. Tutorial done by NightWolf. Email: [email protected] This may be a bit confusing.. It is my first tut and im still trying to explain it better.
