make all players obtain a key when one player picks it up in coop, or make keys stay after being picked up?

Hiya,

The question is just what it says. Is there a way to make all players get a key when one of them picks it up, or otherwise make keys stay behind after being picked up? I tried sharing is caring, but it crashes on latest gzdoom...

make keys stay behind after being picked up?

Keys should always stay after pickup in coop. If they don't for you, perhaps you are running a mod that interferes with this behavior. In this case, you should contact the mod author and ask them to fix the issue.

Not in stock GZDoom, as far as I know. It is possible with scripting, but since you posted this thread in the General subforum and not in Scripting, I'm not sure if that's what you want, but I can provide a ZScript-based solution if you need one.

This honestly should be a built-in feature. Wouldn't be hard at all to add

EDIT: PR sent

I actually found a mod that was posted on this forum in 2021 called keyshare universal that does this very thing. I tried sharing is caring, but it was modified things too forcefully, so if I loaded it before the toby doom mod it had no affect, and if I loaded it after, the toby mod lost some functionality. But keyshare universal does the trick nicely. It appears to be designed for my very problem, where a mod makes kes not stay behind haha.

In the next version of GZDoom (whenever that may be released), this feature will be built-in with the console command sv_coopsharekeys 1. https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/pull/22 ... 0933524006
