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).

Re: Do weapons have a way to modify their drop action?
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!
