BUG - Weapons not responding.

Post by Afterburnerz »

Weapons NOT FIRING - Repetitive BUG
AGAIN the Weapons on my starting Discoverer Will NOT Fire !
This has happened SO MANY TIMES that the game is Now Unplayable !
All attempts on my part to Fix this Bug have failed !
I've checked the Controls and the Space Bar and the Side Mouse Button are set to fire primary weapon.
Pressed the Enter key and checked that both guns have a bullet point in the upper and lower boxes. I've clicked on the boxes in Secondary and in Desperation I've marked all boxes !

I am using the Mouse Flight Mode - Shift + Spacebar !
Guns still refuse to work after Mouse Flight Mode is Disabled by pressing Shift + Spacebar !
Continually killed by Xenon M as I try to get the stinking guns to work !
Have reloaded 3 times and the guns still refuse to work !

Happens a lot, press ESC and then ESC again and the controlls are back (if that is the bug you are refering to).

I think this happens because you click <shift>+<2> or <3> and the <shift> is not clicked properly. The gun settings change for some reason.

What I do is click <1> when that happens (without the <shift> key) and the guns become active again.

I think this has to do with some choices for selecting different weapon groups but not implemented too well, and definitely not documented.

Hope this helps.

Pressing the Escape Key does Not Work All the Time ! I have tried it Multiple Times ; probably hundreds of times by now ! Thank-you for your help and suggestion !

I am pressing the Number keys ---> 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; and 4 without the Shift Key or any other Key for that matter , but thanks for your help !

I Believe I may have Found a Temporary Solution to the problem with the Coding Error !!
The Spacebar Coding does not always recognize that the Player ship in space so commands the Spacebar to initiate Jump ; as if the Player were walking around a Station / Factory .

SOLUTION :---

1 ) Press Escape Key

2 ) Go to Controls and allocate a different Keyboard Command for Jump - so delete Spacebar = Jump on station and set up another key ! I chose the Asterisk ( Sp ? - Correct term ? ) at the top right of the Number Pad .

3 ) The Spacebar Firing has NOT stopped working YET ; fingers crossed ; however this has introduced a NEW ERROR as the F Key Now ALSO Fires the Weapons on the starter Discoverer in the Explorer Start !
This , to me , shows that the weapon fire command coding has some serious Errors !

4 ) So , to reiterate , remove SPACEBAR commands ( Spacebar NO longer makes player JUMP ) from station movement !!
