for wepons tags ive used they all came with item collections allerdy.

but these aren't even weapons they are equipment they are grenades you have to edit globals.globals to even use them. I am not sure if i even need an item collection

item collection is only if you want ammo around the map that respawns

OK obviously neither of you guys have used them i need help from someone who has used them.

1: Orange Gecko (a.k.a Kirby422, the maker of the shield nade tags) just told you what you asked for
2: If you want them around in your map like frag grenades and plasma grenades, fix the existing item collection tag. Its in there, I've used them, I've trapped my super grunt AI in them... (check my xfire screenys if you dont believe me... im killerelf12) For some reason, kirby decided to have the item collection pointing to a snowball gun... Nice job there Kirby! If you dont want extra ammo around the map, just compile the scenario.
3: Read next time...

what i have to say in my defense: I feel like a dick. I did read the read me. that is all.

Its the itemcollection that points to the snowballgun? I was wondering where that error came from. I got around it by placing frags in sapien and then following Kirby's instructions on editing the globals to have frags point to the shield nade tags, which worked like a charm. The only other tag editing required is for changing the default shader but Kirby's readme tells you how.

No, because there are no shield nades in H3.... Teh ones in H3 are deployable equipment, larger, and can be walked through.

I forgot to re-arange the item collection lol (I just copy tags and edit them even though it would be just as easy to make a new item collection) the snowball gun was for a christmas map I was working on last year lol, but I never finished it

I made them after that one trailer where mc tosses the nade down to protect himself from the wraith mortors, so its as acurate as what you could get out of that lol (so.. preaty much a sphere that protects you lol)

Ya, the tool errors said it was christmas/snowballgun.something that was missing so I suspected it was from another map you were working on. Since the snowballgun is so awesome it would be cool if you could finish that map.
