Post Built in Devices.
Is it possible to code built-in devices into actors? Not hand held equipments, but equipment thats actually part of the actor, ones that you can use (access like any other equipment).

Are you asking to add something to inventory, or give an actor an HDFirearm for a limb?

You mean like adding an emitter to an actors legs for it to hover?

Or adding a sharp emitter to it's arm like a melee weapon?

Something like that. Lets say I'm making a robot with weapon pod makers, I want to send out weapon pods, I switch to that weapon (thats built into the actor, not hand held) and I use it.

Basically. I'm saying a weapon thats PART of the actor, can't be blown off but however usable!

I don't think it's possible in this build.

How would that work anyway, holding a gun, with a gun for an arm?

If you fired, which would shoot?

I'm looking more at utility equipment, extra boosters for more air control, deploy mines (mine layer type), manual energy shields, back mounted energy cannons... I'm not minding if you need to change "weapons".

I'd suggest you attach an emitter that emits mines periodically or something.

Remember, I'm an idiotic barely competent modder.

Ask around before giving up completely.

Might as well post a image of what I'm working on: Flight Type Robot, what I'm focusing on is the big booster in question. Its not directly part of the jetpack.

Wait, do you just mean adding stuff to an actor's inventory, without the need of adding it to an order or picking it up?

If so, just
Code:
      AddInventory = <Type>
         CopyOf = <Instance Name>


In the actors body code.
