More than two weapons to hold?

Post by xptoast »

Is there a way possibly on the biped or w/e be able to hold more than 2 kinds of grenades or more than 2 weapons? Then be able to cycle through them? If this is possible then is there a way to cycle through the proj on a weapon? Lets say you put 20 dif kinds of proj on your weapon. Is there a way to cycle through them before shooting? Also is there a way to null out the grenades usage when you are using a weapon that has two triggers? If so that would be good to know for what I am working on. Please help me. These are important things I need to know.

ya you can hold more than two weapons but you can only do it with one weapon meaning you have to have the special weapon at all times. in dothalo you open the weapon you want then in the flags box you should see that click it and you good.

I had it so I could hold many weapons at a time. I think I made it up to holding 8 without freezing the XboX. I had a shotty, br, smg, rocket launcher, and some other stuff. Worked well but I forget how I did it. Some bitmask or something....

If you could find it that would be sweet.

Yea you can do this by simply going into Enitity, going to each Weap Meta and checking 3rd weapon. xbox7887 is correct, 4 is the max.
Don't be.

Isn't it possible there was a biped setting that specified ITS max? Or even some other setting like a global match one or something?

In addition to the "Enable as 3rd weapon," there is a checkbox that says "Does not count toward maximum" in the Entity [weap] plugin. It's used for the flag, ball and bomb. I've thought about checking it for several weapons, but I think the ultimate result is that you'd spend too much time pushing Y to find the gun you want.

I think this is one rare aspect of the weapons that Bungie nailed. Dual wield + one gun in reserve, and that's it. It forces you to choose, and adds the frantic Desperado-style search for ammo to the game.

I'd take xbox7887 at his word that four guns is the limit. I'm waiting for Xzodia to weigh in, since he's something of a plugin expert...

I wish that picking up the sniper rifle would automatically discard your second weapon. You should have to run like hell with the sniper rifle.

Anyway, if four is indeed the limit and you still want more, you could have a "master gun" that shoots a grenade that chain spawns several different guns, then pick up whichever gun you want. But that's some lame gameplay. Lameplay.

"Enable as 3rd weapon" and "Does not count toward maximum" are the same bit but "Does not count toward maximum" is the correct name

I'm sure in the past I've held more than 4 weapons but I'd believe xbox over myself most of the time
