This weapon already cannot be destroyed, so making new ones isn't a problem, by the way. I've tried messing with inventory-changing methods from LuaDocs/Actor on the temporary wiki to no avail... But I'm sure this has been done before. How do you do it?

Why don't you just set Charheight to 0 or below and just have him unable to pick up weapons?
There's probably a Lua way to do the same thing (pickup disabling) if that's not possible.

I'd actually like it to say a message (something like "I can't use that!") each time he tries to pick up a different weapon or drop his weapon. This is tough...

self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false);

Add this line in update function.

See my other post; that won't work for what I want.

Code:
if self:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP)
    self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false);
    *your message*
end


What is "message"? Screen text? Or sound? (Something like "beep" error signal?)

I'm making a campaign. It's the yellow screen text.

Code:
if self:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP)
    self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false);
    FrameMan:SetScreenText("Your message", Activity.PLAYER_1, 0, 2000, true);
end

Then it looks like that.
I'm not sure about parameters.
Look here: http://drlwiki.thebunny.info/wiki/index ... ScreenText (temp wiki limk)
