weapons on ground

[dmakatra]

Hi! I know there have been many topics about this one but IÂ've never checked any of them except the name. So I did a search cause I rememberd a name of one of does topics (the name was, IÂ'm absolutley sure, "weapons lieing on ground") on "on ground" and I didnÂ't find a sh!t. That search thing is strange, I never find anything with it . Anyway, to the Q:

How do you make a weapon lie on the ground? I tried to c if you could to it exactly as you do with buildings but it didnÂ't work. Plz help.

Thx in advance.

You need to create a WeaponHolder and place it on the ground.  This is an invible object that just gives you a place to put ammo and weapons.

W1="weaponholder" createVehicle [x,z,y]

Note, as always, instead of x, z and y co-ordinates you can Getpos another object.

Then just addweapon cargo like you would an ammo crate.

W1 addWeaponCargo ["M16",1]

  in addition to this:

say, ya put a weapon - a handgun - somewhere, then be sure to add the ammo before adding the weapon, and when you grab it, ya need to hit the "firing mode" button on yer keyboard, or else the gun will appear mag'less
(mag'less   ;D lmao ).



empty, wuz it

thx ! But when I put out a satchel charge the thing is invisible! Any ideas on what to do?

[icarus_uk]

Because you can just put a satchel charge on the ground on its own without a weapon holder.

[dmakatra]

what do you mean? I use the weapon holder command. :help:

[icarus_uk]

If you want a satchel charge on the ground, just camcreate one and put it on the floor.  You dont need a weaponholder for a satchel.
