Is there a way to stop characters from dropping their weapon when killed?

Right mouse click on a character and choose properties.

Change the can take weapon field to no.

I've done that, doesn't work, the weapon still drops, you just can't pick it up.

I see. That will not do.

email Lee@thegamecreators.cpm and ask him if it is possible or if he needs to add a command for script. (the script command would be great.)

Maybe it is one of those easy additions that he could flip on for the next update.

OK will do.

It's not a major hassle for most, but i'm making some non-biped robots with the guns hidden inside them so you cant see its a gun, so would be nice if the gun didn't fall on the floor when it dies, otherwise it looks a little odd.

All you need it the FIRESPOT attached to there biped, to get the flash. The fireweapon script command just issues the raycast and collects the damage.

Just set it were you want the flash.

SetAttachmentVisible to zero might work. Not sure if weapon still fires when invisible. Cheers.

As cybernescence says, SetAttachmentVisible = 0 will work but he's correct in thinking it won't fire while invisible so you would need to call it in the exit(e) part of the script.
If mykes idea doesn't work at least.

Where would that go in the ai_soldier script?

Like this?

+ Code Snippet

function ai_soldier_exit(e)
 if ai_soldier_state[e] ~= "deathanim" then
 SetAttachmentVisible = 0
  PlayCharacterSound(e,"onDeath")
 end
end
