FHI Weaps in DM

[MrSmiles]

i was thinking about making a Deathmatch map and putting a flare launcher in it.

put it in a nice hiding spot that takes some skill to get to so only a few can get to it

how would i go about embedding it into my map so i don't need to have another package along with it

 

[MrSmiles]

maybe the underslinger would be better


anyone want to help yet?

I think embedding it would be a bit complicated because you would have to import the sounds/meshes/textures and then change and recompile the code into myLevel.u

However, if you feel up to it, what you could do is open up FHITex.u (or whatever file has the underslinger/flarelauncher textures) and go to Edit - Rename, then choose myLevel as the package name and click OK.

The code is a bit more difficult. What you should do is open up FHI.u or uWM.u and double click the weapon class (it's not a placeable actor by default), then copy the code across to a new class in myLevel and edit the defaultproperties where neccessary.

i was reading in unreal wiki how to put a whole .u file into mylevel

would i be able to put fhi.u the underslinger texture, mesh,and sounds into mylevel aswell?

now that i think of it isnt the underslinger just a rocket launcher with a different texture? and the sounds are just a rocket for alt fire and is there a sound for regular fire?

is this a lot more complicated than it seems?

 

[Parser]

Nope, the Underslinger is just a cheap version of the rocket launcher. There's no new mesh or new sounds, just a different skin. In fact, it's entirely possible to jettison the skin and use the yellow rocket launcher skin instead.

 

[MrSmiles]

ok so putting the underslinger into a map without including any other file is possible.

simple explanation please

and i'll give FHI credit for the weapon
