Weird flamethrower problem
« on: July 13, 2013, 06:29:05 PM »
Usually when I play with a robot armed with a flamethrower, such as Bob, I hold down the space bar to activate the flamethrower & continuously shoot out flames. But now, for some very odd reason, when I hold down the space bar, all I get is a short burst of flame & that's it. I have to continuously spam the crap out of my space bar to get the continuous burst of flame. Any way to fix this?

This always happens when testing in botlab.
Did you use a button, switch, or analog?
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

You need to wire it to an analog to get a continuous burst of flame.

It's usually a button, I've always used buttons for flamethrowers, but I never had to deal with this weird glitch before.

Use an analog. Don't test it in botlab, test it in an exhibition match.

Okay, it worked. But why not in botlab? It worked fine in botlab.

It's analog and having enough gas initially.
