🔥Temperature System & Jamming

This resource aims to provide an immersive and authentic store robbery experience by incorporating various gameplay elements that mimic real-life scenarios

BetterFight Evolved introduces a sophisticated Temperature System coupled with a Weapon Jamming mechanic, adding a new layer of realism and strategy to gunfights in FiveM servers.

Temperature System

The Temperature System simulates the heating of weapons during sustained fire, affecting weapon performance and visual feedback.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Weapon Heating: Weapons heat up as they're fired, with each weapon having unique heat characteristics.

  • Visual Feedback: Configurable smoke effects provide visual cues for weapon temperature.

  • Performance Impact: As weapons heat up, their behavior may change, adding a tactical element to sustained firefights.

  • Cooling Mechanics: Weapons cool down over time when not in use, encouraging tactical pauses in combat.


Configuration Options:

Config.WeaponSettings = {
    TemperatureSystem = {
        Enabled = true,
        UseSmokeEffects = true,
    },
    UseJammingSystem = true,
    -- Other settings...
}

Weapon-Specific Heat Parameters:

Each weapon can be configured with the following heat-related parameters:

  • overheatThreshold: The point at which the weapon begins to overheat.

  • degreesPerBullet: How much the weapon heats up per shot.

  • cooldownRate: How quickly the weapon cools down when not in use.

Example for WEAPON_PISTOL:

Config.Weapons[`WEAPON_PISTOL`] = {
    overheatThreshold = 200.0,
    degreesPerBullet = 4.0,
    cooldownRate = 0.2,
    -- Other weapon-specific settings...
}

Weapon Jamming

The Weapon Jamming system introduces the possibility of weapons malfunctioning during intense firefights, adding an element of unpredictability and encouraging weapon maintenance.

Key Features:

  • Probability-Based Jamming: Each weapon has a unique chance to jam based on its quality and condition.

  • Heat-Influenced Jamming: Weapon temperature may affect the likelihood of jamming, creating a connection between sustained fire and reliability.

  • Unjamming Mechanic: Players must perform an action to unjam their weapon, adding tension to combat situations.

Weapon-Specific Jamming Parameters:

Each weapon has a configurable jam percentage:

// Some code
Config.Weapons[`WEAPON_PISTOL`] = {
    jamPercentage = 0.08,
    -- Other weapon-specific settings...
}

Weapon Component Influences

Both the Temperature System and Weapon Jamming can be influenced by weapon components like suppressors and grips:

Config.Weapons[`WEAPON_PISTOL`] = {
    components = {
        suppressor = {
            hash = `COMPONENT_AT_PI_SUPP_02`,
            temperatureMultiplier = 0.8,
            recoilMultiplier = 0.9
        },
        grip = {
            hash = nil,
            temperatureMultiplier = 0.9,
            recoilMultiplier = 0.8
        }
    },
    -- Other weapon-specific settings...
}

These systems work together to create a more immersive and challenging combat experience in BetterFight Evolved. Players must manage their rate of fire, be aware of their weapon's condition, and make strategic decisions about when to engage and when to let their weapons cool down. The addition of weapon jamming adds an element of unpredictability, forcing players to maintain their weapons and always have a backup plan.
