[Resolved] Bloody Heretic Wand!

[Silentdarkness12]

I'm working on a project that includes replacing the default Heretic starting wand. Unfortunately, even though the actor was set up to replace GoldWand, it's still there. If the custom wand runs out of ammo, it switches over to the default wand, with an ammo type that doesn't exist anymore. Kind of useless.

I can't figure out how to permanently get rid of it.

It looks like your AltFire is falling through something. Might want to close that off with a Goto Ready.

[Silentdarkness12]

Done. Didn't fix the problem though.

[ChronoSeth]

Did you set up the player class properly in keyconf or mapinfo?

[Silentdarkness12]

Yes, i'm sure the player class is set up properly. Got 200 max health and ludicrous speed, so i know it works.

[Silentdarkness12]

Come on guys, any ideas?

[Ed the Bat]

If they had more ideas, they would've said so. Bumping after only two days isn't exactly praiseworthy behavior.

[amv2k9]

Just so ya know, using "replaces" doesn't work when it comes to playerclasses. Also, taking away the Goldwand in the player state is redundant, since the player will never have it unless they give it to themselves through the console.

He already said he's got the proper playerclass in play, based on the max health and movement speed.

[amv2k9]

Maybe the SisterWeapon property is causing this? If you want to have a powered version of this weapon, make a new weapon and have this wand specify that as its sister, rather than the vanilla powered Goldwand. I'm unsure if this will solve the problem.

I know. I felt it was worth bringing up.

[Ed the Bat]

I think amv2k9 is on to something. Sister weapons can be tricky to work with, so that might be the issue.

[Amuscaria]

You only replaced the normal Goldwand without replacing it's powered-up sister weapon. The sister weapon inherits from the normal wand. Try replacing the sister weapon with a powered-up form as well. You will also need to specify that the sisterweapon for your GrimGoldWand to the new powered-up version of GrimGoldWand.

I'm assuming the goldwand keeps coming is because.

1) You inherited GrimGoldWand from GoldWand without replacing the sister weapon property.
2) When you use power up or tome of power, your GimGoldWand becomes the powered up GoldWand. Since they use the same sprites, you can't tell.
3) When the power-up runs out, the Powered-up Goldwand automatically deselects to it's sister weapon - the GoldWand. Thus your issue.

THANK YOU. The only thing I regret about this forum is that there's no reputation system xD

Got it to work, finally. Much oblige'd.

[Amuscaria]

You can thank the two people that posted before me. I wouldn't even have realized the problem id they didn't mention Sister weapon.

[Silentdarkness12]

If only this forums had a rep system, everyone here would be getting some +1s XD

thanks all.
