Item replacer/spawner to drop multiple items

[DarkQuill]

I am trying to make a mod patch that replaces one weapon with another, however it has an accompanying inventory item thats required too. I have set up a lazy RandomSpawner to spawn the weapon replacement with a 100% chance, but want to know if there's a way to make it drop that resource at the same time. I am not sure if this is possible with RandomSpawner.
I have also tried making a second weapon entry that inherits the first with the simple "DropItem" property, but regardless of the method of the weapon appearing - map load, spawning randomspawner or spawning either the v1 or v2 directly - none will drop this additional item.

Preferably I could have it drop alongside the weapon. I am not adverse to having the weapon pickup also forcibly add the item to the players inventory too if that's how it has to be, but I am also not having any success using A_GiveInventory in the weapons inherited Pickup state.

Here's what I'm running with;

---

actor DustFireStorm2 : DustFireStorm
{
States
{
Pickup:
TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory ("WeaponRepairKit")
Stop
}
}

OR

actor DustFireStorm2 : DustFireStorm
{
DropItem "WeaponRepairKit"
}

actor FirestormSpawner : RandomSpawner 2005
{
DropItem "DustFirestorm2"255,2
DropItem "DustFirestorm2"
}

Very puzzled! Any help would be super great.

RandomSpawner can only spawn one actor and the Pickup state only works with CustomInventory actors.
What you want to do is create a new actor that spawns both the weapon and the item and then disappears:

Code: Select all

ACTOR FirestormSpawner 2005
{
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    TNT1 A 0 NoDelay A_SpawnItemEx("DustFireStorm2")
    TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("WeaponRepairKit",frandom(-16,16),frandom(-16,16))
    Stop
  }
}

Works like a charm, thank you very much!
