Could some one please clarify this for me? Here is my situation- i've created 2 weapons in my game so far, they work perfectly and work well with the pickup objects wich match the weapons. They were created useing other weapons as the templates. When I added an enemy model to the level and gave him a weapon I noticed that my weapons were available for use, so I tried them out. When I tested the enemies holing my weapons were accually holding the weapon models that they were based off of instead. When killed they dropped the incorrect model (the one they were holding) and when I picked it up it was the correct weapon that I specefied. How do I get the correct weapon to appear in the enemies hand and in the correct pose? ALso are there any requirements for the pickup object such as a "firspot" bone or model face for correct placement on enemies as well as decal positioning? Thanks in advance!

VWEAP.x is the model that the enemies use (and drop). The pick-up is an entity, which is why it's showing up correctly. It sounds like you haven't overwritten the original template weapon's VWEAP file. It needs a single FIRESPOT bone for the muzzle flash. As for positioning, the weapon's centre of mass is attached to a bone in the character's hand, so it's really a matter of trial-and-error to get it in the right place. Also, this bone doesn't seem to be in exactly the same place in each character (I lined my FN P90 model up using the Model Pack 1 Specialist character, but in Aiko's hands it looks a bit off) so if the weapon is specific to a certain character, I'd use them for testing.

Hope this helps

It helped quite a bit. Thanks a milllion! i wondered what that vwep.x was for.
