i wanna make the AR single fire, and when u charge it like the plasma pistol it shoots something else. i tried comparing the meta of the plasma pistol and AR but they are too different. first off, how do i swap models without getting exception error? second, does anyone know how to give something a secondary projectile? last, can someone give me like a meta adder to get to the peice of meta so i can make plasma weapons not overheat?

You can do that in HMT. Just make the charge time equivelant of the plasma pistol.

i think i know how but it will be different ... if you change the modle of a plasma pistol to that of a assault rifle you would have your secondayr fire mode and then all you would have to do is make it shoot assualt rifle bullets
