Post How to get actor's inventory and transfer items
Is it possible to read every weapon in an actor's inventory and give another actor all of those weapons?

Code:
   x = self:Inventory() --Grab first thing.
   if x ~= nil then
      if x.ClassName == "HDFirearm" then -- Copy weap
         self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm(x.PresetName))
      elseif x.ClassName == "Held Device" then
         self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateHeldDevice(x.PresetName))
      elseif x.ClassName == "TDExplosive" then
         self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateTDExplosive(x.PresetName))
      end
      self:SwapNextInventory(x,false)
      z = self:Inventory()
      while z ~= nil and z.PresetName ~= x.PresetName do
         if z.ClassName == "HDFirearm" then -- Copy weap
            self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm(z.PresetName))
         elseif z.ClassName == "Held Device" then
            self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateHeldDevice(z.PresetName))
         elseif z.ClassName == "TDExplosive" then
            if z:IsInGroup("Zombies") then
               self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateTDExplosive(z.PresetName, "Zombies.rte"))
            else
               self.tospawn:AddInventoryItem(CreateTDExplosive(z.PresetName))
            end
         end
         self:SwapNextInventory(z,false) --Move on
         z = self:Inventory() -- Get next thing
      end
   end

Taken from Zombies 09, I think mail made the original.

Arg, getting some issues. First off, the console says that "Inventory" is not a valid method. Second, would this work on an actor that just died?

I don't think it would, it may also be the source of your problem, but I don't know how the function works (I think it gets the weapon the actor is currently holding or something).

When the script is in the "Update" function, the sound of weapons switching is heard, so it probably gets the current weapon being held, switches to another weapon, and repeates.

Trying to fix the phoenix dilemma?
You know, the 'respawn, goddammit I have no guns, the guns get squashed, and ♥♥♥♥, the guns are destroyed' dilemma?

If you look at the whole enter process of the 'actor randomization' code, it figures out what the actor is holding, deletes it, and then gives the inventory to the newly spawned actor flawlessly.

Now you just need the actor to gib, and the rest is done for you.
Your code just makes the actor gib into itself, and give it the respawner.
Just make it so that the inventory gets recorded, gib the actor and it's inventory, create a new actor, and give it the old actor's inventory, and make sure there is only one respawner in it's inventory.
