How would I make a weapon untradeable? Like the knife in WM_Combo.

Untradeable? Like so that you can't pick it up? Or that you can't swap it for something else?

Untradeable as in I can't swap it for something else.

Under the ### WEAPONS ### section of the weapon tag, there should be an option "Doesn't count towards maximum."

would be could for a fist tag

With the 'Doesn't count towards maximumn' would I still be able to pick it up if it was just laying on the ground?

Instead of picking it up, just go to Guerilla and make it a starting wep.

He's asking to make it so that you can't get rid of the weapon.

Sorry, I kinda said it wrong. I get the Gamma. What I meant was that after modifying it so it can't be gotten rid of, you add it to the starting weapons of the map your modifying/making.

What I meant was if I had no gun and I ran over the knife would I pick it up.

check the "must pick up" flag. Its what they used for the flag and oddball

If you had no weapon, it automatically picks up the first weapon you run over.
"Doesn't count towards maximum" allows you to carry 1 extra weapon.
"Must be picked up" forces the weapon to be picked up.
Take notes from the oddball and flag weapons.
However, if you force it to be picked up, I think you aren't allowed to switch weapons.

Okay, thank you. I think I got it.

Not unless you tick the "Must be Readied" flag.

kind of off-topic, but I love how gearbox included so many useful flags in their tags that apply to just one or two weapons, but can be applied for an entirely different effect.

Maybe because its an editing kit?

it's a characteristic of the game engine actually. The editing kit allows you to work with it

no but I mean that they could be so useful, and if they had tweaked it just a little they could have gotten the same effect but with less fun for us.

Right now I have the "must be readied", "doesn't count towards maximumn", and "must be picked up" flags checked. However, when I press my firing button the weapon drops like the flag. Can I stop that?

Take that off and, give it magazines of 0 for everything. (I think.)

Would'nt that give you 0 ammo?

well, instead of having the "must pick up" flag, just stick the weapon into a starting equipment slot.

But than this wouldn't happen

If it's a knife or some kind of melee weapon, why would you need ammo unless you throw the weapon?

I would do that, but I don't want a specific team using certain weapons, so I wanted to make one team spawn on 1 set of weapons and another team spawn on the other kind.

change the globals so that when you release a weapon like that it doesn't fly at all, thus you pick it up directly after dropping it.

What file would I need to edit, and what exactly would I need to edit in the file?

edit globals.globals

I know I need to edit that file, but specifically in the file do I need to edit.

He doesnt know what hes talking about :\

Check the flags that makes you pick it up.
Then give the weapon a magazine with 9999 rounds, and have the primary trigger use that magazine. But since there is no projectile, it doesnt fire anything.

yeah sorry, I wasn't thinking. Do this, sorry.

Thanks, Advancebo. I'll try that.
