This tut will explain how to make an Anti Energy pack that will protect you from all, 
or some, energy weapons.


Note: if you dont know how to do steps number 2, 3, and 7, look in other tuts. 
Step #1
First make a new pack called antienergypack.cs, then paste this in.

// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// AntiEnergy PACK Code by Parousia
// can be used by any armor type
// while activated, Energy damage
//-------------------------------------------------------------------

datablock AudioProfile(AntiEnergyPackActivateSound)
{
filename = "fx/packs/shield_on.wav";
description = ClosestLooping3d;
preload = true;
};

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(AntiEnergyPackImage)
{
shapeFile = "pack_upgrade_shield.dts";
item = AntiEnergyPack;
mountPoint = 1;
offset = "0 0 0";

usesEnergy = true;
minEnergy = 3;

stateName[0] = "Idle";
stateTransitionOnTriggerDown[0] = "Activate";

stateName[1] = "Activate";
stateScript[1] = "onActivate";
stateSequence[1] = "fire";
stateSound[1] = AntiEnergyPackActivateSound;
stateEnergyDrain[1] = 14;
stateTransitionOnTriggerUp[1] = "Deactivate";
stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[1] = "Deactivate";

stateName[2] = "Deactivate";
stateScript[2] = "onDeactivate";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[2] = "Idle";
};

datablock ItemData(AntiEnergyPack)
{
className = Pack;
catagory = "Packs";
shapeFile = "pack_upgrade_shield.dts";
mass = 1;
elasticity = 0.2;
friction = 0.6;
pickupRadius = 2;
rotate = true;
image = "AntiEnergyPackImage";
pickUpName = "an Anti Energy pack";

computeCRC = true;
};

function AntiEnergyPackImage::onMount(%data, %obj, %node)
{
}

function AntiEnergyPackImage::onUnmount(%data, %obj, %node)
{
%obj.setImageTrigger(%node, false);
%obj.antiEnergy = ""; //Variable for antienergy pack
}

function AntiEnergyPackImage::onActivate(%data, %obj, %slot)
{
messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgAntiEnergyPackOn', '\c2AntiEnergy pack on.');
%obj.antiEnergy = true; //Variable for antienergy pack
}

function AntiEnergyPackImage::onDeactivate(%data, %obj, %slot)
{
messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgAntiEnergyPackOff', '\c2AntiEnergy pack off.');
%obj.setImageTrigger(%slot,false);
%obj.antiEnergy = ""; //Variable for antienergy pack
}

function AntiEnergyPack::onPickup(%this, %obj, %shape, %amount)
{
// created to prevent console errors
}

The function onactivate, sets a variable called antienergy to true, the unmount and deactivate functions set it to nothing, or false, this is the variable we will use, so remember it.






Step #2
Now you need to add the pack to the inventoryhud, since this has a hard rating you should know how to do this.






Step #3
Now add it to all the players you want to have it, you should be able to do this too.






Step #4
Now we need to add our pack to the hud, so open up hud.cs and paste this in with the rest of the $BackpackHudData array. Remember the number will vary!!

$BackpackHudData[18, itemDataName] = "AntiEnergyPack";
$BackpackHudData[18, bitmapName] = "gui/hud_new_packshield";

Also increase the...

Note: These next two steps are not required unless you want to be able to set a quickkey







Step #5
Open Pack.cs and add the Exec line under the upgrade packs. You should know how to do this.







Step #6
Now we will make it so that you get no damage from energy weapons when you have the pack on. First open player.cs and find the function:

Armor::damageObject

Right after:

if(%targetObject.invincible || %targetObject.getState() $= "Dead")
return;


You need to add an if, It will need to look somewhat like this:

if(%damageType $= $DamageType::Blaster)
{


look in damagetypes.cs and find all the damage types you think are energy, or that you want blocked and add them on like this:

|| %damageType $= $DamageType::PlasmaTurret //whatever the damagetype is goes here


so now it looks like this:

if(%damageType $= $DamageType::Blaster || %damageType $= $DamageType::PlasmaTurret)
{


Now under that if statement you need a new one. It will check wether the player is using an anti energy pack.

if(%targetObject.antiEnergy) {

now add this under the if:

return;


Don't forget to close your if statements. The final product will look a bit like this:

if(%damageType $= $DamageType::Blaster || %damageType $= $DamageType::PlasmaTurret)
{
if(%targetObject.antiEnergy) {
return;
}
}




Thats the pack! Remember to add all the damagetypes you want blocked onto the first if statement.
