trying to make the shieldgun's primaryfire altfire

[legacy-StarMech_LX]

no matter what i wanna do with a weapon i can't ever figure out where the hell i'm supposed to put the friggin code... what i wanna do is make the shieldgun's primary fire become the altfire, but the altfire stay the same (so that it's not a shield 'gun' anymore, it's just a shield )
what i gots:

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn P)
{
     local Weapon W;
     local xPawn x;
     x = xPawn(P);
     W = Weapon(P.FindInventoryType(class'ShieldGun'));
     W.FireModeClass[0] = class'XWeapons.ShieldAltFire';
}

i know it probably shouldn't be in modifyplayer, but i can't think of anywhere else to put it, perhaps gamerules? help please... could someone tell me where and what to do, then tell me why what i did wouldn't work. thanks bunches.

I would read through the shield gun class. There may be more specific code fo each firetype. I would probably subclass the Shieldgun and change the fire mode in the subclasses default. Then you can use a mutator to replace the XWeapons.ShieldGun with your MyMod.ShieldGun.

You don't need to set the required equipment, look for the CheckReplacement function in a Mutator and set that up to replace all shiled guns with your shield gun.
