If you want an example of how it's used with pie menu buttons you can check out UniTec. :)

Psst, here's something for dual wieldable guns: It will change the mags of both FG and BG guns.

Code:
function MechMissileLauncherRocket(actor)
local gun = ToAHuman(actor).EquippedItem;
for i=1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() - 1 do
      part = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
      if part.PresetName == "Multi Launcher" and part.RootID == gun.RootID  then
         local part = ToHDFirearm(part);
         part:SetNextMagazineName("RCKTL Mag");
         part:Reload();
      end
end
end

function MechMissileLauncherMissile(actor)
local gun = ToAHuman(actor).EquippedItem;
for i=1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() - 1 do
      part = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
      if part.PresetName == "Multi Launcher" and part.RootID == gun.RootID  then
         local part = ToHDFirearm(part);
         part:SetNextMagazineName("MSSLL Mag");
         part:Reload();
      end
end
end


just change "Multi Launcher" to whatever the gun's name is, and "RCKTL Mag" and "MSSLL Mag" to the respective custom mags.

Carriontrooper, the line
Code:
local gun = ToAHuman(actor).EquippedItem
isn't necessary since you use "part" for the weapon.

Still, there isn't a problem with leaving that line there.

Nonono, it must be there. If you look below it, there's this line here:

if part.PresetName == "Multi Launcher" and part.RootID == gun.RootID then

it's to ensure both the FG gun and BG gun both change, but only on the actor you select.
Try removing it, and then get two or more actors dual-wield. Without that line, if one actor changes mags, the others will also change mags.

So, for the sake of clarity:
'gun' = FG gun which you use the mag change pie menu
'part' = FG and BG gun
same RootID = both guns on same actor

So how would one go about changing the code so that the weapon mode switched on a keypress instead of selecting a section of the pie? Like if I wanted to be able to hit "1" for mode 1 and "2" for mode 2.

Ew, custom key bindings.

Anyways, if you'd want to do that, you'd pretty much have the script that is triggered by the pie button be directly attached to the gun, and be triggered by a key press instead.

Mehmen had some done like that, but it's a bit different.

You may be interested in the short code that Grif and Shook made here. It involves making custom pie slices, and it looks fairly simple.

Spoiler: I made the vanilla weapons with custom pie slices.

Really? That's cool. I don't really know who's who (obviously), all I saw was that it was pertinent to your idea.

Post Dual Weapon Mode Template Pie
Im having the same problem evilledave is having, and ironically I am using the same exact template. Files work in pms, but not posts. They are uploaded, but not displayed in posts. Maybe it is a compatibility issue with this template? Please respond when you get the chance
