I want to spawn a weapon in multiplayer which would be rotated 90 degrees. I also want that weapon to respawn. Anyone knows a way how could I do that? I tried making effect which spawns weapon but it falls on the ground. I tied rotating ground point and whole weapon but nothing gives me nice results.

I need it for this:

i believe you need to use an attach script to attach the weapon to an empty scenery rotated the way you want your weapon rotated

He's Right it's the only way.

I think it's object attach script.

or maybe item collection attach. or weapon attach?

not sure.

do you know how to make it?

No its not. I believe when your placing the item collection there is a special property you must check. Can't remember what its called though.

e: never mind you said multiplayer.

look at the scripts for slappys valhalla, i believe he used that method there

Interesting I don't make many sp maps but if I wanted to do this in sp
I'd like to know how?

I don't know any thing at all about scripts. Sceny already made a script for me but it doesn't seem to work at all. Here is that script:

(script continuous respawn_weapons
(sleep 300)
(object_create_anew gun)
(objects_attach capsule "batman" gun)
)

Yes the gun is called batman... And I named capsule "capsule" too so I don't know what's wrong.

for weapons you check initially at rest. item collection's require a script.

And the script is?

I asked kirby and he said objects_attach <main object> <marker> <attached object> <marker>

Okay i will try that.

what the hell guys, this does not need a script.
I dont know why you could not do this by moving and rotating the ground point (or the maintain z up flag)
That is how it should be done though

cause the weapon would fall when he placed it in the weapon holder and there is no settings to make item collections float only weapons.

I said that I tried it. But it stays like that when the weapon is dropped.

oh sorry.
You want it to look like it does in the pic, but want it to not float when dropped.
Yea i was wrong then.

I can see how that attach's the weapon to the capsule but I don't see how it rotates it?

Got it to work thanks to Kirby. I used wrong name for the script file... it was weapon.hsc.txt

it's magic.

Why not rotate the .item_collection so the green arrow is pointing up, then check the "levitate" flag

Object_attach won't work. Once an object has been attached to an object (unless it is detached) it will lose its properties, whether these properties and its ability to be picked up, to its collision.

Just make it a .weapon, name it "gun1" or what ever. And use a script to make it re spawn (and tick the levitate box or whtpatever.)

Script would be something along the lines of...

(script continuous gun1_respawn
(Object_create_anew "gun1")
(Sleep 500) ---- or however long, 30 ticks = 1 second.
)

That script will keep spawning it, the engine would I spawn it when dropp.

I didn't even use object attach. Here is what i used:

(script continuous weapons
(sleep 5)
(object_create batman)
(sleep 29)
(object_create robin)
(sleep 29)
(object_create catwoman)
(sleep 29)
)

BTW this method doesn't sync online.




And how does one do that?

random idea of unsureness :
could you check in guerilla if itmc haves a X or Y rotation that would not be shown in sapien ?
even if I dont think it exists

Lol, I forgot you can't rotate .item_collections...

is sort of funny because if you use old markers the old gizmos have markers. but they are not moveable.

I honestly think sapin could be hacked to allow this with out a script.

I checked with all versions of guerilla i have and they all have same functions for item collections.

In the tool window in sapien Try click on Random pitch and random roll or both and try creating a few weapons until one is created the way you want. might work? also try item collection's if you turn on old markers you can see them better. You may have to make the weapon and then move the capsule.

This way lets me to rotate it in sapien but ingame its still rotated the same way... There is no way to rotate it without script.

You only need one sleep at the end. you dont need them between the weapons. Anyways, all you need is host testing.
Select a vehicle that will always spawn, give it an object name
(if (= (unit_get_health VEHICLENAME) -1) (sleep -1)) ;; If the named vehicle doesnt exist (IE, host computer) stop the script.

you can have it check constantly (so it also breaks if they object_destroy_all, or, you can make a startup script that instead of just (sleep -1), it (sleep -1 SCRIPTNAME)
