Weapon disappears after switching?

[The Struggler]

For some reason, my Auto Shotgun disappears after switching...
Heres the script:

---

Actor AutoShotgun : Weapon 27018
{
Inventory.PickupMessage "Feel the pain with this badass Auto Shotgun! Atleast thats what the commercials said."
Weapon.AmmoType "Shell"
Weapon.AmmoUse 3
Weapon.SlotNumber 3
Weapon.AmmoGive 20
AttackSound "Weapons/autoshoot"
States

Stop


}
}

HELP ME WEAPON DECORATE GODS!

[The Struggler]

Holy shit, im so goddamn stupid.
I fixed it, turns out the numbers too high.
Welp, that was it folks!

[The Struggler]

Ok, thought this was over. Sorry but, now ingame it appears as a red exclamation error thingy, and still dosent appear if i give all.
Basically, i changed it out of the map in a separate wad and i thought i worked since I typed in IDFKA and it appeared, but when I tried it in the map itself, it became that, so yeah.

[The Struggler]

Also, I dont know if this is related but.... in GZDoom Builder it says that "DECORATE warning in "MAP01.wad\DECORATE:1696", line 45. Unable to find "Weapon" class to inherit from, while parsing "AutoShotgun:19073"." I really need help. Badly.

This could either mean that the weapon is not loaded into the game, or it is loaded, but it has somehow ended up with a different [wiki]editor number[/wiki]. Have you changed its editor number after you moved it out into its own WAD file?

Also, I dont know if this is related but.... in GZDoom Builder it says that "DECORATE warning in "MAP01.wad\DECORATE:1696", line 45. Unable to find "Weapon" class to inherit from, while parsing "AutoShotgun:19073"."

That warning shouldn't have any effect on the weapon. You can silence it by loading the gzdoom.pk3 file as a resource when working on the map.

I did update it, and i replaced the old decorate with the new one.
Here it is:

Yeah, between the old and new code, the editor number is different:

Code: Select all

Actor AutoShotgun : Weapon 27018 // Old code   

Code: Select all

Actor AutoShotgun : Weapon 19073 // New code   

Go to your map in the editor and replace the old weapon pickup thing with the new one.

[The Struggler]

Well, i already did that, but the weapon still disappears after switching.

[Blue Shadow]

After switching from the weapon, drop the [wiki]console[/wiki] and execute this:

Code: Select all

use autoshotgun

Are you able to switch back to the weapon?

[wildweasel]

What I'm confused by, is that Struggler hasn't really defined what he means by "disappears" - does it switch away correctly, but never appear in the weapon slots again? Does the weapon lower, but lock up, so you can never wield a weapon again? Does the weapon simply become invisible under certain circumstances?

Basically, what I should be asking: can you post your WAD/PK3 file that you're working on?

[Cherno]

I had this problem a few times and it was always due to me not setting up the player class' weapon slots correctly. You would still have a weapon after switching to another one, but since it wouldn't be assigned to a weapon slot you wouldn't be able to select it again, so check if that's the case.

[The Struggler]

Well, what im saying is that after switching it just never appears again. Imma try to post it tom. Got lots of stuff to do.
Sorry for the weird reply sched. I'm from the Philippines.

Considering the code does define a Weapon.SlotNumber, I wonder if something else isn't overriding that. I'd guess at it being some rogue KEYCONF lump clearing the weapon slots to redefine them with SetSlot, but again, I would need to see the project file to tell for sure.

[The Struggler]

Where could I upload files?

[The Struggler]

I FINALLY GODDAMN FIXED IT!
Found a KEYCONF lump that comes from a SSG replacement which has a setslot in it.
Thanks for all those who actually tried to help me out.
