Jetragon Player Weapons v2.1

Jetragon with Player Weapons v2.1

by VykosX

[h1] NOW FULLY UPDATED AND CONFIRMED WORKING WITH PALWORLD 1.0.1 [/h1][hr][/hr] This mod allows you to use player weapons on Jetragon without losing access to its signature rocket launcher ability. By default, as soon as Jetragon's OP ability goes into cooldown you'll be able to shoot your guns and get a much better ADS range for shooting so your Pal doesn't have to be useless for a whole minute while their abilities come off of cooldown. Or if you prefer you can now disable Jetragon's rockets altogether and only use player weapons while mounted or even customize the cooldown on Jetragon's ability to your heart's content!

The mod was fully rewritten from scratch to ensure perfect compatibility with the v1.0 release of the game, and every weapon has been exhaustively tested and confirmed working.

Default Behaviour

[*] Weapons remain selectable but unusable while riding Jetragon [*] Jetragon fires its normal rocket missiles until the ability enters cooldown [*] Once the missiles enter cooldown:

• Closer ADS camera applies automatically, optionally making Jetragon semi-transparent to not block the player's view.
• ADS camera distance is fully configurable.[/list]
• When cooldown ends or the player dismounts:
• [list][*] Original camera source values are restored and weapons are disabled again[/list]
• Optionally Press F8 (configurable) to toggle Jetragon's rockets being enabled

Extra Features

[*] The mystical powers of Jetragon allow most semi-auto weapons to be used as fully automatic while mounted, saving your fingers from carpal tunnel syndrome. [*] You can optionally configure individual keys to switch between weapon slots 1 to 6, defaulting to the number keys. These shortcuts are fully configurable in the mod's config file and this functionality comes disabled by default. [*] You can change the config file in real-time and it will automatically apply in-game, no need to restart the game. [*] You can fully customize the cooldown on Jetragon's ability now, set it to negative values to leave it unchanged, set it to a positive value to set its duration in seconds or set it to 0 and have an endless spam of infinite rockets! [*] You can now disable or enable Jetragon's rockets at will, you can start the game with them disabled via the relevant config or you can toggle it in real-time with a shortcut key (default F8) [/list]

Implementation

[*] UE4SS Lua + PalSchema. [*] The PalSchema override allows you to see your equipped weapons while riding Jetragon. [*] Overrides the rocket launcher shooting event and redirects it to player weapons when on cooldown. [*] Manually intercepts input events to allow for seamless weapon switching despite Palworld v1.0's best efforts to the contrary. [*] Patches Jetragon PalShooterSpringArmComponent numeric ADS/shoot source arm-length fields so the game applies the closer ADS camera itself. [*] Intercepts the sphere throw command to ensure correct capture sphere behaviour while riding Jetragon without interferring with player weapons and restores the last equipped weapon one second after the last sphere leaves the player's hands. [/list]

Compatibility

Compatible with the version v1.0.1.100619 of the game, and likely to continue working once it updates further. If for whatever reason you still play on the early access version you can use v1.2 of the mod for a version compatible with Palworld v0.7.3.90464 (this version is however not as fully featured as the latest one)

Installation instructions

Install to: UE4SS\Mods\JetragonPlayerWeapons\ UE4SS\Mods\PalSchema\mods\JetragonPlayerWeapons

Test if it works: 1. Mount Jetragon. 2. Fire missiles normally. 3. Once missiles go into cooldown hold RMB/ADS and fire player weapons. 4. Cooldown end/dismount should restore normal behaviour.  5. Optionally Press F8 and verify it disables Jetragon's missiles entirely

Requirements

UE4SS Experimental + PalSchema
