Guns shooting Guns

Post by joeschmoe »

Ok for a new mod i am working on i am trying to make a gun (plasma pistol) shoot out an other gun... but when it shoots out the gun i can only pick it up... i cant shoot it or pick up ammo for it :? ... if you have any ideas of what i am doing wrong could you let me know, thanks in advance!

How exactly did you go about making it shoot out? (I understand the basic process, but if you describe what you did, maybe an error will become apparent)

well i went down to the weap tag and went to plasma pistol. then in the dependencies window i changed the charged bolt to a rocket launcher (the tag class i used to select the rocket launcher was the weap tag)

Does the hud still show correctly for it? You didn't happen to mess with the rl previously and forget to change it back did you?

yes, the hud showed correctly. if i picked up a RL that spawned on the map it would work fine

ok i figured out the problem.. its a little glitchy though. switching the projectile to the gun was right, the weird part is that when the gun shoot out the weapon and you pick it up you have to switch to your secondary weapon and then switch back to the gun you shot out before it will work correctly :?
pretty weird... if anyone knows why it does this could you let me know because i would just like to know out of curiosity
