Post subject:  Dual Wielding?
Seeing as I am still attempting to break out of my noob shell (eventually) I'm attempting to learn about the game through the forums and my own personal experience. Dual wielding is something I have heard about but never learned. So, here's a few questions:

1. Is it possible to dual wield Psyblades? (StarCraft Ghost Mod)
2. Do you need to have one weapon from guns and the other from shields to dual wield?
3. Is there any other ways to dual wield?
4. Can all one-handed weapons be dual wielded?

Thanks for your help guys. You have great patience with us noobs. :-P

EDIT: Grammar fail. Corrected to prevent extra noobiness.

One weapon in guns and the other weapon in shields for dual wielding, no way else. If you wanna dual wield the blades from that mod, just copy the first weapon, paste, then replace the AddToGroup = Weapons to AddToGroup = Shields.

And yea, both weapons need to be one handed for dual wielding to work.

You can put all the dual wield weapons in the 'Shields' group. No need to put them in the Weapons group. :)

Unless ofc, you want the AI to use them.

But yeah, just make sure they're one handed, and in the shields group, and they can be dual-wielded.

Copy the weapon code, paste, and change the AddToGroup = Weapons to AddToGroup = Shields. All in the same ini file.

Doesn't matter where you put it, as long as it's under the right entry and indentation.

Little recap of how what works.

--If you make a HDFirearm OneHanded = 0, it's not going to have any dual wielding uses.
--If you make a HDFirearm OneHanded = 1, it can be used in the primary role of dual wielding. (Or used with HeldDevices [Regular Shields])
--If you make a HDFirearm in the Shields category and not also in the Weapons category, it can be used in the primary and offhand roles of dual wielding. However, in the primary role, a "Shields" HDFirearm will not be used by AI, as they believe they are hold two shields, so they don't 'try to pull any triggers'.

--Making the two separate instances of the weapon is reasonable, and necessary for AI, attacking and ally.
--But if you're going to be playing as the Actor the entire time he's going to be using the dual weapons, you would be best only using the Shields category copies, since they can be used to fill either role by the player, whereas the Weapons category copy can not be used in the offhand position. This can be handy if you want to replace a broken one.
--It's really strange that all humans are apparently ambidextrous and switch to shoot left-handed while facing west and right-handed when facing east.
