How does the over heat system work?

I'm trying to give my dc15 blaster an overheat, but I'm trying to make it so that it overheats after 25 shots. How would I do that?

Use these three values

HeatPerShot
HeatRecoverRate
HeatThreshold

HeatPerShot = Amount of heat for each shot. 1 is overheated. 0 is no heat.
HeatRecoverRate = Heat recovery per second. Allows weapons to cool down. If you set it to 0 and have a positive HeatPerShot value your weapon will be prevented from firing after a while.
HeatThreshold = The level (1 is full, 0 is nothing) of heat that your weapon must reach before you can fire again.

So for 25 continuous shots before overheat you should be able to use this....

HeatPerShot = "0.10"
HeatRecoverRate = "0.5"
HeatThreshold = "0.4"

This is assuming you want to be able to fire those 25 shots in 3 seconds (so shot delay of 0.12)
You might need to change it a little....Anyway hope this helped. :)

Dang, I just started munging the side...sign...looks like I got to do a manul clean...anyway, I'll try that. btw, What would be the over heat values for a 0.2 second shot delay(standed rifle shot delay)?

You can give a rifle weapon both rounds and over heat. I've been trying to find the right values for a 25 over heat for quite some time today.

Yeah I know you can but the normal rifle doesn't.
