How should I go about removing sprint from Marines.

Ironsoul

Hello, another question about modding NS2; I promise I'll help other noobs out once I'm good at this .

Ok, so I'm trying to remove sprint functionality from the Marine, what's the sort of thing I should go about doing? I've taken a look at the source code and there's a lot of different things about sprint.

Do I only need to do this in the server lua code? Which files should I modify, where in those files should I modify stuff?

I guess the core of the question is, how does the Sprint for marine code work, if I understood how that worked, I'd probably be able to figure out the rest.

Thanks for any and all assistance, much appreciated.

In marine.lua

" self:UpdateSprintingState(input)"
and
" modelMixin:SetAnimationInput("move", "sprint")"

I've not tested but these 2 lines should help (try to comment them to see what happens)

commenting out the first part seems to have done the trick. Although I'd rather use what people refer to as hooking in to do the job. Is there any way I can hook in to change this behaviour without modifying a copy of Marine.lua ?

I guess you can Hook into the sprinting function in SprintMixin.lua

Maybe hook into : function SprintMixin:UpdateSprintingState(input) and return someting like : self.sprintMode = false

I'm not very comfortable with lua coding, so I may be totaly wrong but anyway you should be able to find something usefull in SprintMixin.lua ^^
