WeaponFire
Weapons in UT2004 have been divided up into multiple actors, of which this one is intimately involved. WeaponFire actors and their children form the FireMode[i] array in Weapon which manifests itself on the screen as the different modes of firing a weapon can do (typically the primary and secondary fire). The properties for the firing of a weapon reside in the weaponfire classes, including fire rate, damage, etc.

OlympusMons: Need to get some stuff happening for the ut2004 weaponfire class. Ok so I did pretty much straight from the source but comments will be addded. I wouldnt mind adding a few tutorials in this area for multi-ammo weapons, reloading and spreadfire weapons like shotguns. I have some basic code of my own for ut2004 for these but its still a bit buggy so until I get things ironed out I wont waste your time.
OlympusMons: Ok so I linked the subclasses, Im guessing that they are all very similar to the ut2003 ones so it shouldnt cause any big problems as most of the functionality of weaponfire is similar, except the inclusion of a few functions like trace etc to get the firemodes to operate correctly as subclasses of object. I'll try to update the subclasses with ut2004 info as needed.
