Pick up projectile?

[TommInfinite]

Does anyone know if this works? Throwing spear can be picked (according to GECK) but when I try to do it there is no activation prompt. Is there a weapon whose projectiles can be picked in-game?

I've tried to accomplish this before without any luck. Whatever that tick box does, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with picking up projectiles.

 

But if you're sneaky, it might be possible to use an OnActivate event (NVSE) to add an item and delete the reference from the world.

Thanks. I was interested in this because I wanted to know whether I needed to bring up crosshair when player has projectile in their reticle. Less work for me then. :smile:

From my experience you can't pick up missile type projectiles using the controls, that flag is only useful to lobber types, like mines.

 

You can however pick them if you grab the reference with a script or the console and use "Activate". To avoid leaving a picked reference in the world (kinda bloaty) be sure to use use "Activate 1".

Of course - mines! Totally forgot about them. Thanks!

Also player activates it themselves like normal activation so I do not have to do it via script.

You could do it the lobber way, yes.

Also you can use a dummy explosion, and PlacedImpactObject to replicate the effect.

 

Say for the "legion coinshot" shotgun ammo, either method would work. Use lobbers, or have the coinshot use a PlacedImpactObject, which ITSELF could even have a script for 50% chance of undamaged coin, and 50% chance for bent coin.
