Hello community, I have a question? Anyone know how to add a weapon in 3rd person mode? I can not get the character to have a gun in his hands and can shoot it. Someone can guide me. thank you very much!

You have to remember these are "puppet" scripts. The weapons are actually attached to the "player", not the character.
Using one script for any character would be hard, unless they all have to exact same animation.

I had to model my character with a weapon already attached using custom animation and scripts.

When I do bring up a weapon, I have it transparent so the players "weapon hud" is not visible. (only the cross hair)
But since my character has the weapon attached I can only use "one" weapon"
I'm thinking maybe, I could switch between 3rd person & 1st person when using weapons, maybe???
Might have a nice effect? Will try to work on some scripts.

Worked on a few scripts and found it wasn't that hard to switch between 3rd person and 1st person view point.
made another quick video showing it, picked the first sword I found to kind of match my character.
It may be something that might work for you?

Hi ncmako,Very good, I like it, I'm trying to use the useweapon and hasweapon commands, but I do not take them. In one of my many tests I get the character to use the weapon in the hand, but I do not know how I did it after so much modification. I know you can, I'm still trying. I'll keep in mind what you did to give options to my scripts. Thank you

arrojar entidad
Yes, I have also. It seems to attach the weapons, but mine are way off on correct position. They are
either on wrong side of character or in front? They don't attach to the "Firespot" bone at all?

I have also tried them. The only commands I can use with them is to "shoot" the player
I can't seem to figure out how to shoot another NPC.
I'll work this weekend on some scripts and see what I can up with.
Till then, best

After some work on scripts I was able to attach weapons to a 3rd person character. But I have now run into another
problem. My characters seem to sink into the floor

Weapons attach nicely, but as you can see characters feet sink below floor? I'm sure it has to do with the script.
Will keep working on it...

Nice job attaching the weapon NCMAKO. Interested to see how far you can get with 3rd person view.

ncmako
I like, I get to put the gun without it moving outside the character. In my case, I could do the same, but like the weapon is gone if we move very fast. Let's see what you think? I added melee attack. He still lacks the second look and can switch between multiple weapons.

After watching the video, your weapons appear to be working better than mine.
What are you using? The weapon HUD or the Vweap?
And No, I can't get mine to switch weapons also.

ncmako

Use, hideweapon to hide the main weapon (the one that really shoots) and hasweapon to use a weapon already selected in the character, the same weapon is also selected in the player (green arrow)

The bad thing about this is that both the character and the player have to have the same weapon selected. If the player picks up another weapon, does not change in the character.

What I can not get, is that the character picks a weapon, without having to pre-define in the hasweapon of the configuration before.

I am having the same problems it seems.

Me too
I did come across an old thread with some good 3rd person scripts.
Trying to get these to work.
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/195008

I tried with variables, using the script swapplrweapon (this script is to assign the route of a weapon, and thus make the character carry 2 or 3 weapons by default, but using weap, does not take very well hide and show. The appearance of the weapon or the character disappears.

arrojar entidad
Yes, all of these commands are for the player, not the NPC. I'm starting to hit a wall
here and making very little progress All my characters can hold a weapon (vweap)
but making them switch weapons I think is not possible?
