Do weapons have a way to modify their drop action?
I have a couple custom weapons that inherit from DoomWeapon and being able to modify what they do on drop via Decorate would fix a few issues I'm having related to it.

Not in DECORATE without (I'm guessing) a significant amount of hackery. If you're willing/able to move to zscript, it's possible to override the CreateTossable function in any class that has Inventory as the parent class (including DoomWeapon).

Normally that would be the simplest solution, but unfortunately I want to keep it online compatible and Zandronum 3.0 doesn't have zscript support yet (or maybe ever). I'm sure I can figure out a way to rework it and avoid the issue. Thanks for the help though!
