Hello. I am working on a map and have got two custom weapons in it. I found Penguin's [HUDtag= "hud"] fix but I cannot get it to work. I was wondering if anybody knows where in the weapon odf the HUDtag command goes.

I just put it at the beginning of the properties section.

And it works for you?

Well, I think that's what t551t551 is implying.
Ya, just put it pretty much anywhere.

Yes, it will remove the 'floating weapon'. It's unkown how to put a different weapon icon in the HUD atm

*EDIT*

I've learned that if it already is set up in the HUD, you can use a current weapon. So for Lando's pistol, I put

HudTAG = "all_weap_inf_pistol"

If the "HUDtag" line displays a mesh, then it should be possible to make a a transparency-enabled rectangle in XSI, and texture it with a side view of the gun being used. It would have to be rotated and scaled weirdly, but it should work.

It should be actually be HUDTag, but to be honest I don't think that has anything to do with it. Change it back to "hud" instead of imp_weap_inf_rifle and see if it does anything.

HUDTag = "<.msh file to display>"

if you put in imp_weap_inf_rifle then it will display that msh, but if you enter a msh that doesn't exist, like I_dont_Exist, it won't display anything becouse it can't find anything to display

Code: Select all

HudTAG= "imp_weap_inf_rifle"

won't work

The game requires spaces between the variable, = sign and value. So it has to be like this:

Code: Select all

HudTAG  =  "imp_weap_inf_rifle"
