InStateSequence and weapons
InStateSequence doesn't seem to work when called from a weapon's DoEffect virtual (same with Tick iirc). Is there something finicky with getting that to work? I'm thinking pointers, but so far I found nothing that worked.

Re: InStateSequence and weapons
I don't recall weapons having anything to do with `DoEffect` and even with `Tick` it's moot, since once picked up (as implied by the mentioned `DoEffect`, it's probably picked up), it's put into a special sequence and the result of the function will be not what you expect most of the time, but regardless, sounds more like you are trying to use the function with one of the special weapon states sequences ('Ready', 'Select', etc). This will not work, as those run in context of player in a separate layer, so called `PSprites`.
