Posted: Jun 27, 2009 08:12 PM Msg. 4 of 9 So I was thinking that I could make a menu that allows you to customize the pieces of your gun, like scope, rounds, silencer or no, stock, so on. As you select each piece variation, it notes it down. Then when you select OK it finds the correct weapon and trades that one for the one you are holding. New question: 5) Can I change what comes up for your pause menu in a script? So that each weapon has a different customization menu? Edited by Headhunter09 on Jun 27, 2009 at 08:12 PM

What do you mean by "activate and deactivate a menu"? For 5), you mean that you want to have a different pause menu depending upon the weapon that is being held? Edited by sparky on Jun 27, 2009 at 08:14 PM Yes. 6) Possible to have a compass attached to the HUD rather than the weapon, correct?

However, I'm pretty sure you can't make pause menus different for every weapon. I'm not the pause menu expert though.

You would not be able to shoot plasma or Gauss weapons from them either. If you are in the vehicle your HUD flickers and static flickers across your screen. E: Actually, can I have an effect that washes static across the screen? Maybe text the distorts for a second? Edited by Headhunter09 on Jun 27, 2009 at 10:16 PM
