Hello,
I've been trying to make a mod where the player character keeps his weapon during the blast animation. I have some experience with xml and lua, but I can't figure this one out.
I have the grenade animations (like in SR3) attached to the blast animations in the plym.xtbl, but for some strange reason, even if I comment out all instances of <flag>hide_weapon</flag> from the anim_files.xtbl, the gun still disappears from the MC's hands when I perform ice blast. Is there any way for the blast superpower to work like the SR3 grenades and show the weapon switching hands?
Here are the two animations I tweaked in anim_files.xtbl, I had to keep the "impact_start" trigger in order for the animation to quit looping when I threw a blast in-game:
these are the tags I'm using in plym.xtbl to change the animations:
Thank you for any and all responses.
