In the DeviceMain.lua, you have "self.particlename" set to "Round Scud Pistol," when it needs to be set to "Particle AutoPistol Mode Switcher Main." DeviceAlt.lua has the same problem too, but needs the alt particle instead of main.

Thanks I will fix that when I get home from work

Update. I think I perfected the method of checking whether or not if a weapon is currently being held, making this super-reliable.

Could ya somehow have the nonfired weapons moved offscreen for ammo retaining or would that be a hassle?

Ok let's check that extremely reliable version... I was expecting more reliability until I coded 2 rockets kind for same launcher...

It would be hacky. And your maximum unheld weapon limit would cause weapon to settle.

An actor offscreen holding the device?

Then there's still the problem of getting the weapon back. Standing near a weapon on the ground while switching modes will make you pick up the weapon on the ground, since you can't stick a specific weapon somewhere on the map into an actor's inventory.

Couldn't you just have an option that forces a reload on switch?

I guess I could. I was also thinking about adding a delay time when switching. As in, you hit the Gold Dig thing, wait for a second or two, and then the mode switches.

I could probably implement both of those as options that the template user can turn on/off, that would also work for those who do not want the features.

You could also probably force no firing during switch time.

Any errors in the Lua console?

Also, what "other lua scripts" are on the gun?

Okay, found the problem.

The script uses velocity to see if the weapon is being currently held or not, which makes it move slowly when dropped. This can be easily fixed, but I'm planning on a re-write of the scripts sometime to make the whole thing better.

Not sure when I'll get around to it, though.

Use these scripts for now:

Hi CC48,
There seems to be a problem with the latest release of your dual weapon templates or there's some weird conflict somewhere.

Example:

I order an actor with two different weapons, both modified with your scripts.
When I make the actor switch with the gold dig AI button the gun is sometimes replaced with a duplicate of the other gun in his inventory. When I keep switching the gun is then eventually changed back to the original gun.
Very weird.

When there's only one dual weapon mode gun on the battlefield then there are no problems whatsoever.
