HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Okay... you read the topic name right? Well that will be possible once someone helps me. When I try to pick up my weapon in game I can't pick it up. It's doesnt say "hold down <button name> to pick up <weapon name>.

Anyone have any idea why this happens? I have a lot of new weapons already with the tags in place but wtf? none of them will get picked up in game...

SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY MADE A WEAPON IN GAME TELL SOME THINGS I MAY HAVE WRONG FOR FORGOT TO DO!!!


* go to the pics section and look for one of the topics with my upcoming gun (only thing holding it back is this problem)


Everything i'm doing is on hold because of this crappy problem...


*i kno this is the wrong place to post this
*dont flame me

I wont flame you but others might, have you made an item collection? have you put weight in the item collection? have you set your bounding radius to about 2-3? have you also set your bounding render redius to about 10-20?

Well all of them things will make your weapon unpickupable (hey a new word )

dont know what that last post was about :S

but i had the same problem
the asr is in here

but ull need to add custom strings (i remade the hole list for my map/mod) heres info http://wiki.fpsgamers.se/index.php/Halo ... gsWithTool
the string that ull find that u have to fix is this one hud\hud_icon_mesages.unicode_strings_list

have fun!
i did

i might be able to help ya out....IM me.

Sry have I missed something? I thought he said that he could not pick up his weapon and has no text come up to say "pickup blah with e" type thing.
That would be to do with the actual weapon not the string, unless you had altered or removed the string but that would'nt stop you from picking it up.

I just listed a few things that cause the weapon not to be picked up (which is what I thought he was asking, if not, my misunderstanding )

NOOOOO i meant i cant pick it up at all even when im over even though there is no string i cant pick it up when im over it!

You probably have messed up FPAs. You need to have the same markers as another gun for FPAs if I remember right.

whats FPA?



and go here for a weapon im working on: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?p=124068

Hmm... go to the HALOWIKI or to the Gearbox Forums.

There are about 3 tutorials on either, specifically for getting weapons into the game.

Like axeman (who, by the way wrote one of the best weapon tuts out there) said, it is most likely the fact you did not give it an item collection.


Anyway read the tutorials by either: Axeman or Zion at the Gearbox Forums or HaloWiki


PS: And just read everything. 5 mins of extra reading could make the difference between completely understand what you did wrong and how to never do that again, or needing help the next time you try.

i did make an idem collection.

give me the links to the sites eith the tutorials except the one at wiki that's the one i used that did work for me...

Lmao , sorry I must have totally misunderstood you because I thought you said you could'nt pick the weapon up.

One thing that I forgot to mention is the globals, did you put your weapon in the globals? , well just a thought.

yes i edited the tag: global.global - added the chronoscepter to the weapon list

http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh ... t=1#244193


That is one.

Go to: www.halowiki.com and then go look for Zion's Simple Weapon Tutorial for the other.

So what happens when you go to try to pick up the gun? Does it ignore your command? Like... do you hold E (or whatever ur action/weap exchange is)

Also, did you ad an fp (first person) model?

the string "hold E to pick up gun" doesnt appear. i even try to pick it up w/o the string. and yes i have fp model. Pvt. Jenkinds checked my models and they are fine.

Banshee Ace, I know exactly what your problem is, and I'm going to help you even though I don't like you. AIM me, jwgrate12.

thanx i think i know the problem now...

guys... i figured out da problem... my guns are working now...
