Custom Weapons

[ScorpEM]

I'v been trying to add custom guns into UDK for over a month now and haven't really had any success. I have read tutorials on how to do this but for some reason I cant figure it out.:confused: I already imported my gun and animations so all I need now is to make it playable.

That has video tutorials that are very helpful

[ScorpEM]

Iv gone through the tutorials but I still cant figure it out. When I compile it I get a lot of warnings. I'm new to unreal script so could someone please help me!
:confused:

[geodav]

well how about telling us what you did and what warnings you get, try posting in my tutorial support thread http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=706668

[ScorpEM]

I did everything you did in the tutorial but I think the problem is because I am using udk instead of ut3 and so Im putting things into the wrong places. The name of my package is, WP_CustomGun and the name of my weapon Mesh is, SK_WP_CustomGun_1P And SK_WP_CustomGun_3P
the name of my anim set is K_WP_CustomGun.

these are the warnings I get,

I have never modded a gun before but I can see a typo in the first line.
You end the line with two ' ' instead of the correct just one '

[geodav]

well spotted JohNLA, also watch my UDK Basics videos they show what your folder set up should be

[ScorpEM]

when I look at my code I Its only one ' but in the error report it has two ''. why would it be different?

[Blade[UG]]

It's quoting the entire phrase, which is why there's two '' at the end.

It's complaining that it can't find the WP_Custom_Gun package. You should really be putting this all in your own package, and not in the UTGameContent package.

[ScorpEM]

What should the name of the folder that has my own package in it be and where should I put the folder?

[geodav]

@ScorpEM, please watch my UDK Basics Videos, they show how to set the system up for your code package and content package, although atm it's only for a basic game the same thing applys for a weapon

[ScorpEM]

I finally figured it out!:D Thanks for all the help. I think there was a bug or something because I just reinstalled udk and fixed my folders and it worked! how hard is it to change the sounds and the shooting affects.

Thanks again!

[geodav]

not that hard, just look at the code and find those items in the content folders, see how epic did them and just copy it
