Weapon stays in armReady = true; after weapon switch

[Harker]

So I'm editing the Flintlock Weapons add-on for a Pirate DM.

Basically what I want is for the cutlass to stay in the down/armReady = false; position at all times. When I open my tools to that weapon, it does this. But if I switch to the sword from another weapon, it reverts back to the upright/hold position. I'd like the sword to stay in the down position whenever it is idle, even after switching weapons. How do I do this?

Apologies if this may be a dumb topic but I'd like to know.

Here's the code for cutlass.cs

Code: [Select]

//########## Cutlass

//### Projectiles

AddDamageType("gc_Cutlass",'<bitmap:Add-ons/Weapon_FlintlockWeapons/CI_cutlass> %1','%2 <bitmap:Add-ons/Weapon_FlintlockWeapons/CI_cutlass> %1',0.2,1);

//### Item

datablock ItemData(gc_CutlassItem)

  uiName = "Cutlass";
  iconName = "./icon_cutlass";
  image = gc_CutlassImage;

};

//### Item Image

datablock shapeBaseImageData(gc_CutlassImage)
{
  shapeFile = "./cutlass.dts";
  emap = true;
  correctMuzzleVector = true;
  className = "WeaponImage";
  item = gc_CutlassItem;

};

function gc_CutlassImage::onPreFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{

Add this to the code:

Code: [Select]

function gc_CutlassImage::onMount(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
        %obj.playThread(0,root);
}I haven't tested this, but it should work as intended (as in putting a player's arm down when the item is mounted).

Lol it just seems to be doing this.
Can't swing the sword or do anything with it.

So I just found out the sword has a left-click block function :P
Adding that code, the sword just locks up in parry position until you right click again then it goes back to its regular position, and can be used normally. But after switching weapons it still reverts back to armReady = true; position anyways.

In that case, how do I just change the animation the sword plays when activated/swung whatever.
It's set to activate now which looks stupid on a melee weapon imo. How do I change it to like, move brick back, or whatever.

  %obj.playThread(2,activate);From this code, change activate to the desired animation from this list.

That'll work.
Thanks.
