Weapon Userbox Thing

[lordcarbo]

Sooooooooo boooorrreeed......

So I decided to make a really cool thing you can add to the bottom of your user page because, quite honestly, I'm not used to coding things beyond the basics, so this is a good way to get used to it. Here it is:

{{User:LordCarbo/Template_asdf
  |melee     = X
  |melee_tag = Y
  |gun1      = X
  |gun1_tag  = Y
  |gun2      = X
  |gun2_tag  = Y
  |dual_guns = Z
  |vertical  = A
}}

X = respective weapon you usually use in that slot.
Y = noob, pro, user, God, spammer, whore... whatever fits.
Z = must put either "yes" or "no" or the entire thing won't work. "yes" will shorten it to two boxes and it will say, for example: "dual shotgun user" (so you can ignore filling in gun2 and gun2_tag). "no" will make it three boxes.
A = must put either "yes" or "no" or the entire thing won't work. This is asking if you want the boxes to be aligned horizontally or vertically; no for horizontal, yes for vertical

Two examples can be seen... the first at the bottom of my page, and as of now, I have it in my sandbox:

http://www.gunzfactor.com/wiki/index...dCarbo/Sandbox

Anyone who wants to figure out this simple script should be able to navigate Wikipedia on their own to find out how it was done ;D

Future additions:

-Pictures for each cooresponding weapon
-The ability to change the hues without having an extremely cluttered system
-The option to just have two boxes, and in the gun box it'll have "dual X Y".
-Whatever you guys think it's lacking, try to think of something complicated yet practical

The first two additions combined I could add in 15 minutes at the most, but I'm too lazy right now The third is gonna take a bit of thinking. But screw it, I'm onto do bigger, bolder things...

Edit: I tried to implement the third suggestion... I think it's impossible.

Update: Sweet! I got the option for dual guns to work.

{{User:CriticalKill/Template_asdf
|melee = Shotgun
|melee_tag = Gawd
|gun1 = no
|gun1_tag = Y
|dual_guns = Z
|gun2 = X
|gun2_tag = Y
|vertical = yes
}}

Waaa, no work? =(

Waaa, no work? =(

Here:

{{User:LordCarbo/Template_asdf
  |melee     = sword
  |melee_tag = pro
  |gun1      = shotgun
  |gun1_tag  = gawd
  |gun2      = ...
  |gun2_tag  = ...
  |dual_guns = yes
  |vertical  = yes
}}

That should work (don't change the "LordCarbo" part, that part is where the actual template is located and that's at "User:LordCarbo/Template_asdf").

{{User:LordCarbo/Template_asdf
|melee = sword
|melee_tag = swerd
|gun1 = shotgun
|gun1_tag = shottie
|gun2 = shotgun
|gun2_tag = shotty
|dual_guns = yes
|vertical = yes
}}

?
I dont get it.

It's a userbox showing what guns you use. It's formatted so you can easily put it onto your page without hassle. Guess I was wrong?

I think the boxes could be made smaller, it's too clunky to look good.

You should post a link to a vertical one, because that may look better.

Perhaps instead of, for example, 'M' to stand for melee, you could use the small pictures that are used in gunz when you don't have a weapon attached in the equipment section.

It's sort of black with a little text saying 'melee'.

That would make it look better and more people would know what your talking about.
