title says it all. What does the weight in the item collection tag do? I mean, does it make a difference if the weight is 1 or 100 or 10000?

i has no idea but if you dont place anything it wont spawn. i always put 100

Its how the changing item collections work.
If you have that item collection with a flamethrower set to 50 and a sniper set to 50, the pickup will change between the two, so a 50% chance either would spawn.
I presume that is how the changing powerup in the center of bloodgulch works.
Maybe this is done with perms too though, i have never looked too far into it.

I see, so basicly if you only have 1 weapon, the weight doesn't matter?

if you have only one weapon, just set the weight to 100.
Setting it to anything lower can cause the weapon to not appear ingame.

I see, I've been using like, 10, and 60, but it still appeared, thanks for the info though. What if I had 2 item collection perms, i set one to 100 and the other to 100 as well?

it would probly always pick the 1st in the list

Set it to 999999 and see what happens.

What will happen??? :O

It spawns.

say....exception?
or maybe it spawns 90+ of the weapon?
