Hi I am trying to insert a weapon into the map. I want the weapon to just lay on the floor when I pick it up, not float. Is there an alternative to using WeaponPickupFactory or something cause it's really annoying. I tried different ways on the scripts but they won't work.
BTW I'm using UDK 2012.
Can somebody help me please?

If you just need it to lie on the floor, then you can make any actor with the gun's mesh and just put it there. You can then write an event Touch so that when your pawn runs over the gun you can pick it up.

I'm finding that working with weapons of an actual extension of the weapon class is difficult when you're doing something other than just equipping and firing them as intended. My rookie skills would make me want to make gun-on-the-floor a different class from gun-in-your-hands so that when the pawn walks over gun-on-the-floor, that gun will disappear and then spawn a different gun extended from the weapon class that you then GiveTo(Pawn).

I have no clue if this will work in UDK, but back in UT2004 I managed to rig placeable weapon pickups with this
Code: 
class ARSoloPickup extends AssaultRiflePickup
      placeable;

defaultproperties
{
     Physics=PHYS_None
}
Like I said, no idea if it will work/help

You can always just create your own pickup factory type. Removing stuff and altering the weapon pickup height shouldn't really be that much of a problem if you look at how the weapon pickup factors is set up.

That being said, be more patient. There's not much UnrealScript coding going on anymore aside from the UDK. And UDK questions are mostly answered on Epic's forum, which also is much more frequented than this one.
