Replace Pistol

[SuperflyTNT]

Hi, I have been trying to replace the pistol for a while now and am having no luck. I have created a new player in my wad and told weapon slot 2 to be my handgun weapon (replacing pistol) and also told me to start with the handgun instead of the pistol but when I load the game it doesn't work.

I have created a zmapinfo to tell the game also to use my new player over the doomplayer. Whats going on?

I'm stumped, can any one check out my wad and have a look? Its here:

Handgun

Thanks!

A fairly easy fix my friend:

This is what you have:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Handgun : WEAPON

This is what you should have:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Handgun : WEAPON replaces Pistol

It works when I add that in. You have to indicate that this weapon is replacing the existing one. You don't even need a new player class if you just replacing the weapon.

You don't even need a new player class if you just replacing the weapon.

Unless you're replacing one of the starting weapons... Like the Pistol.

Ok, ok, yeah your right, my bad. I just remembered that i recently had to do that for Expanded.

Once again, the replaces keyword is only for spawning stuff in a map.

It has no effect on [wiki]weapon slots[/wiki]. It also has no effect on anything that give items directly, such as starting inventory or [wiki]A_GiveInventory[/wiki] and its equivalent ACS functions.

Just to finish up I managed to solve my problem. If anyone else has this problem feel free to ask me to post the solution as I know it can be hard getting to grips with this stuff. Thanks for everyone else who helped.

Yeah, it's all about inheritance. I'm still struggling with the basics, myself... and I've only been here five years. lol

Make a new playerclass, and write this or something close to this:

Actor Myplayer : Doomplayer
{
Player.startitem "mypistol"
Player.startitem "Clip" 50
}

And then in KEYCONF

clearplayerclasses
addplayerclass myplayer
