How to make custom weapon recoil setting in the settings menu?

I use the "A_SetPitch" parameter to create weapon recoil in the decorate scripts. And I need to add a slider to the settings so that I can change the recoil. I added a slider, but how to make it change the recoil of the weapon?

you can use GetCvar() to get the value the user picked.

the pitch function should look like this:

A_SetPitch(pitch-GetCvar(users_value))

not working

MENUDEF:
OptionMenu "OptionsMenu"
{
    Slider "Weapon Recoil", "recoil", 0, 10, 0.1, 1
}

 

CVARINFO:
user float recoil = 10;

GETCVAR:
if (GetCVar("recoil "))
{
    A_SetPitch (pitch-GetCvar(users_value))
}

sorry my, fault turns out you must write it that arguement as a string, and with user_value I just meant what ever variable you would have defined in your cvarinfo.

In this case it's recoil so, A_SetPitch(pitch-GetCvar("recoil"))

Returns the value of the console variable as a float. If the variable could not be found, or its scope is user and the calling actor is not a player, the function returns 0.

 

it turns out, the GetCvar function only works when the user is calling the function if function has a user scope, what you could do is use a server scope instead but this might mess up the multiplayer depending on how much freedom you want to give the different players if you care about multiplayer. There should be another function that doesn't care about the scope maybe there and I missed it, try looking it up yourself if you don't like the limitation of this one

Is this ZSCript? I don't understand the language.

Regardless you should start by checking if the value set in the menu is working in the cvar.
You can test this by writing "get (your cvar name)" in the console.

Otherwise than that I recommend you to use an ACS script to return the float value of your CVAR.
