Weapons Holstered Animations

[kylekylekyle]

Hi there,

 

I have always been annoyed that if I had 3 weapons, they would all be hidden somewhere until I equipped them. Im a useless modder/coder, so I would love to see someone make this mod, as Im sure it would be a BIG hit.

 

Basically, if a player were to have a combat knife, 9mm pistol and service rifle equipped, instead of them being hidden somewhere until they are selected, they would all be at their holster locations. So there would be a Combat Knife on the left on the player, the pistol on the right, and the rifle on their back. I understand that this leads to issues regarding whether or not the weapons are actually selected and how the game selects which weapons are shown holstered, but I think an in-game app could solve this problem.

 

Im sure this mod will be a challenge, but I would love to see this mod made, as im sure many other players would.

 

Thanks

that's a great idea, it'll add more style to the character and i wouldn't forget what weapon i actualy have on me !

Impossible. Even if we could get the HUGE team required for a project such as this, the engine would never support it, as you can see how badly it handles single weapons (holster a weapon while moving, then switch to third person)

 

Although, I would love a mod such as this

Im not ure but cant oyu go into the GECK or blender and make some weapons lika and armor so they can be addons? I dont know how to do this but Im sure its possible but the equiping part IMPOSSIBLE!!

You could create an armour with say a Caravan Shotgun strapped to the back, but it would be impossible to make that Caravan Shotgun playable.

i have thought about this as well and was going to try it with my limited blender knowledge:

just create 2 holster versions: empty and full

then it would be a matter of scripting:

if player has weapon equipped

then remove [filled holster thigh] and add [empty holster thigh]
