is this throw as in drop or throw as in chunk ? like could i make the weapon throw a bullet with this code? because i was under the impression that that particular engine was not working at the moment

You probably could use this code to create a projectile. It would be a bit more work, but it could be done.

You could use this to make a weapon throw objects. Normally weapons "throw" projectile objects instead of items, but the same principal.

We are going to try this over the weekend. Nut I am wandering how different the projectile code is?

datablock Item(Thrown)
{
shapeFile="./thrown.dts";
};
in thrown.cs when the script runs, I get the console error "Unable to instantiate non-datablock class Item". Is there something special I need to do to identify a datablock?

Ok got it. ItemData is the actual datablock class for Item.
