How would I go about making a CS:GO shooter?

[iiHuxan (Human)]

Hello!

Before I begin talking about this I would like you to know, I am in no way shape or form a scripter. I probably couldn’t turn a part blue with a script.

But, regardless of my inability to script I try my best to develop games. I am really into the action and combat genre and I love making games like them.

I have recently got inspiration to create a CS:GO inspired game (I will make it different than CB:RO and all that with separate game modes)

Only problem is the guns. I have no clue how to make CS:GO style guns and I have scrolled YouTube, looked all over dev forum, and other scripting websites but just cant find what I need.

If anyone has a link to a post, or a video, or just some type of tutorial that could help me out please consider sharing, without it I’m dead in the water without hope of releasing the game. If you don’t, that’s fine but thanks for reading!

(This is my first posted I didn’t know exactly how to word it)

Well, that’s going to be your first big hurdle and where you should first start working towards learning how to script glad you mentioned it though. If you want to see what a learning process for learning scripting looks like and also opinions on how to learn scripting you should look through these threads:

(My project montage included in this thread lol, see the process I took at the very beginning)

I'm a beginner in scripting, can I do all these stuff or would I need to hire a better scripter?

Yeah that’s true, however, it’s always good to keep in mind your goals and only do what’s necessary for your goals if you want to complete it. for @iiAqua_RB if you want to see the process I took: Here is my project montage on how I began scripting these two months and the projects I took in order to learn how to make a mechgame. Emphasis on the you gotta take it slow with tutorials and stuff which the project montage didn’t cover, which was like 2 weeks of understanding youtube tutorials + …

A lot more opinions from other people on how to learn scripting

What should a beggining scripter learn?

TL;DR, use those youtube tutorials for your advantage.

Anyways, once you have some experience I’ll put some resources to help you with making a CS:GO inspired game.

Smoother character movement, if you notice in CS:GO or source games the characters have momentum and can’t just spam jump and zig zag dodge move like in Roblox. This thread should help.

Simulating smoother character movement?

EDIT EDIT EDIT :warning:EDIT There’s a bug in the code I posted. It’s quite easy to fix, see what it is and how to fix it here: Thanks to @dthecoolest for catching it Now here’s the rest of the comment: Can’t tell if you want character to accelerate slower without changing physical properties, or if you want to normally with changed physical properties. EDIT: nvm, figured it out Making proper reply I would make a custom mov…

The First Person Element Of A First Person Shooter

This guide was originally written for scriptinghelpers. The original can be found here. In this post we will be talking about creating our very own filtering enabled friendly first person shooter (FPS) game. I do want to make clear though that I won’t be covering how to actually make the weapon shoot in this article. All we are going to be covering is the visuals meaning having the character aim down sights, look up and down, etc. Maybe we’ll talk about shooting another day. Things to take n…

Now onto the main thing CS:GO style guns.

Yeah, you can’t always rely on tutorials like AlvinBlox to make your game if you have realized at this point (One of the criticisms of his tutorial-based methods).

So at this point we gotta use Mr Google to study how CS:GO guns work:
Here is a video on the recoil patterns of CS:GO

Spray Pattern Tutorial CS:GO

If you have noticed the spread is always the same as it is a recoil pattern-based system. So if we know how to make a spread then we would know how to make this spread be consistent so yeah.

This is a method to make spread based on random vector 3.

Raycasting Gun Spread

To add spread to a raycasting weapon, simply add a math.random() on the finishing position. local SPREAD = 1000 -- set some value for it local spreadPosition = Vector3.new( FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.X + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000, FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.Y + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000, FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.Z + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000 ) I reckon there was a better method. Looks like parent argument of Instance.new() is here again. Do n…

You will have to find a way to make this spread be not random and fixed which you can figure out ways after studying scripting and the tools you obtain in the process like for loops, tables to store recoil patterns and such.

In my opinion I don’t think you should attempt to make a gun framework if you’re brand new. Personally, I would recommend that you learn a fair bit of lua so you can understand how to go about making such things.

But since you asked. Heres a good tutorial by BlackShibe on how to make a FPS framework.

You may want to read this article if you want to create CS styled movement (which I would consider one of the most important mechanics in the entire game).

CB:RO uses the default character controller. You can’t really counter-strafe which means the only way to kill something reliably is to stand still for a second and then shoot. You could make your game much more entertaining and less frustrating to play by implementing CS styled movement.
