Quake 4 questions

[ZippyDSMle]

So I am fooling with Q4 scripting and hit a snag... how can U summon the weapon mods for a weapon? I can not test them without going to that level,I'd rather use a give command.

I did some D3 scripting but frankly the game turns me off big time,so I moved on to Q4 which is alil better.

I might move back to it when I gain some more def scripting exp.

BTW can anyone explain compiling to me I know you need MS VC++ and the SDK but how do you get VC++ to work with the SDK ><

I want to move beyond the limits of def scripting and change ammo rates and other things.

I don't have q4 just the demo :\ I know I should have got it by now.
But something I remember from q3's rocket area was to link all the weapons to the random dm player spawn points. The weapon entities would be located outside the map, in the void, and when the player spawns he/she would have all the weapons.
It's been awhile, I think it was target entity, which may have a different name now.

looking at the script itself


entityDef wpmod_nailgun_power (is the name of the add on in the script)

So

give wponmod_nailgun_power (nothing)

or

give entityDef wpmod_nailgun_power

mmmm let me go test it now.....

[ZippyDSMle]

well
give wponmod_nailgun_power
dose something he puts the nailgun down then then brings it back up but it dose not work,if I go to the level and pickit up from the guy it works fine 0-o
