Can't Pick Up Weapon
by Lisa Holden · in Artist Corner · 07/11/2008 (8:32 pm) · 9 replies
I just implemented three weapons into my Torque game. When I go into the world creator to add the weapons to the environment, the weapons appear. The problem is, when I try to pick up the weapon, I can't. I can bump into the weapon so there is collision detection but I can't pick it up. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

I checked and the weapons are not in the inventory. Is there anything else I could be missing?

maxInv[yourweaponname] = 1;
maxInv[yourweaponammoname] = 500;
you can see these things for the torque crossbow there, at the end of the datablock.

maxInv[yourweaponammoname] = 500;

Yes I added that at the end of datablock and it is still not working. I have tried everything. The weapon just spins on the ground and I can run through the item now (so now there isn't any colision detection) but it still won't equip to the character.

It should have been added as a Shape.

When you added it with the GUI editor did you add the weapon under StaicShapes or Shapes.It should have been added as a Shape.
