[HL/HL:OF] Gluon gun glitches

[Matthaiks]

Jerky idle animation in HL right after weapon pick up (the secondary attack key is not pressed):

Split beam in OF:

Oh, and the gluon's secondary attack acts in OF like primiary one (no idle animation). Maybe it's a feature...

Another glitch. Holding a reload button causes this:

Should be closed in favor of #2510. @kisak-valve

[agrastiOs]

If you still have these issues, I would suggest you mention them in there @Matthaiks

[kisak-valve]

Hello @Matthaiks, is this issue report and #2510 covering the same issue? I'd prefer to keep the older issue report open and bring your newer feedback over here if it's the same thing.

[Matthaiks]

Hi @kisak-valve, #2510 is like a fifth issue (gluon's animation appearance in single player), but it can be discussed here, I guess.

Build 8279

1. idle animation: doesn't work anymore (cl_lw 1 or 0) [Half-Life] Issues with weapon animations [Their Fixes Included] #2495
2. split beam in OF: only with cl_lw 0
3. gluon's secondary attack = primary attack in OF (cl_lw 1 or 0)
4. reload glitch: only with cl_lw 1

[Half-Life] [Bug Fix] How to fix Gluon/Egon Gun's Idle animations.

Issue transferred from #3404.

Currently, the gluon gun's animations are fundamentally broken. Stuttering before ceasing to play. Only properly playing when alt fire is held down. This is however a very simple fix.

Open egon.cpp.

Inside of void CEgon::WeaponIdle( void ), find:

float flRand = RANDOM_FLOAT(0,1);,

And replace it with:

float flRand = UTIL_SharedRandomFloat(m_pPlayer->random_seed, 0, 1);.

There you go, probably the simplest fix to implement.
