Thx guys this is my first attempt at a mod so wish me luck lol

you dont need to edit any scripts, if the alt weapons have the same ammo and clip name as the other alt weapons it its selection it will work fine

I have been building a weapon mod for a while now and I believe your problem is that you don't have the same clipname. It will work with the ammo name only but if you want it to take the clips over to the alt weapon the clipname has to be the same as well.

If that's not it then I'm not sure because once I fixed that it worked fine.

I was wondering if you could have more than two options though, I haven't tested it yet but I guess it could conceivably be possible...

yeah, you can, i made a mod with 4 alt weaps - smoke grenade, flare smoke grenade thingy, flash bang and a knife

nah I didn't change the clipName or ammoName or anything. Some of the weapon mods did silly things, but one was basically a 3 level zoom sniper in which I only changed the FOV, mode name (could be a factor come to think of it, though doubtful), and the altWeapon chain


I think it only happened in S&D. Maybe domination between rounds but we rarely play that. Say, if I have Kar98k sniper's second and third alt modes selected at the end of an S&D round, I would respawn with no ammo in that weapon. Similar to how you reselect your weapon, say from BAR to thompson in the 15 seconds, and it sometimes gives you no ammo

You can have many altmodes to your guns, Mpz, but they count as seperate weapons so you're subject to Uo's weapon limit. Was it 96? I can't remember

If you do not add the new alt weapon modes to atleast the rank.gsc then when playing any gametype that runs rounds you will spawn with no ammo when in the alt weapon mode at the start of the second round.. I did not say you needed to add it for fun it is a fact if you understand how the rank.gsc works.... Adding the alt weapon modes in the _teams.gsc is optional but i would be as i like to add cvars to turn on and off features, which any good mod will have.


(p.s. cods weapon limit is 64)
