Weapon Views from scratch QC

[ScatterBox]

OK, so I have re-coded almost my whole mod onto Enders scratch QC tutorial. The only problem I have now is that I can't see any weapons. I know this obviously is because I haven't told it to spawn any weapons. But I'm not sure where to... I know that before QC was told to load the start weapons in client.qc, I tried to implement that code into my client.qc but it didn't work. No luck with impulse 9 in the console either... :/

You guys should also know that I do have weapons.qc in the directory. It just doesn't have any of the original Quake guns anymore plus I got rid of some un-needed functions.

at first, when working with Enders Scratch QC, do NOT JUST copy/paste stuff, code it from scratch (thats why its called scratch qc..)
second, you should maybe post your qc files, we cant look into your harddisk.

lol i hope you didnt think i was telling him to copy paste... i was showing him how to look for what hes missing... if thats what anyone was thinking anyways...

Hmm.. none of the code here seems to work.. (and yes I have checked my progs.src ) Impulse 9 didn't seem to work either, and I start with 0 ammo which is strange. :/

And I'm not just copying and pasting the code. I'm using it as a reference and reading it, and learning from it.

Assuming you're setting self.weaponmodel properly, and also assuming you don't have code somewhere that instantly sets it to null, I would be looking at whether or not your weapon models are positioned correctly. (i.e. internal to the model file) (try using your weapon models in stock quake, i.e. replacing v_shot.mdl with your own model, etc.)

The first one will only work if you're setting self.weapon = IT_BLUN; (this should be handled by your weapon selection code, and thus trigger a bprint when you press whatever key you've assigned your blunderbuss selection to.)

The second one is a map entity and won't generally print anything, even on map load.
