switching weapons not allowed

[metaldemon]

ok guys. i maded several weapons. those weapons are working but they are also pissing me off.
i've asked on skulltag for the problems i gonna ask you guys now.but they dident knew how to solve this.
i've looked upon the zdoom wiki too.

my problems:

i cannot summon my weapons. ive maded a spawn state, doomED number, putted the sprites between SS_start and SS_end.
i cannot give the weapons in my cnsole as long as i carry an higher ranked weapon.
i cannot switch between weapons when i have my weapon selected. i have give the weapon an doomED number, puuted in the playerpawn as Add.slot 3(rifle).

and they still just wont work.

i thought, zdoom might just know

It would definetly help us to help you if you put up your weapons code or upload the Wad in question.
You could have various problems with your DECORATE code which are unidentifiable as of now.

Make sure it is like this.

Code: Select all

Spawn:
ROLF -1
Stop

This is the most common way.

It is best to create a KEYCONF section for the weapon like this.

Code: Select all

WeaponSection MyWeps
Setslot # $YourWeapon$

It is better to use the official features inside DECORATE to assign slots. KEYCONF is outdated.

@ spawn state: read the code


@ keyconf: did that. but it dident change a thing :s

You did not read the article correctly. It was saying the recommended method for mods was to use the Weapon.SlotNumber property in the DECORATE code of the weapons.
