Hi, trying to get the grenade launcher working as a primary weapon. I use this also to digg into the code and various variables to gain a better basic understanding of the modding capabilities and options.

Working so far: * Grenade Launcher can be selected as primary weapon

Problem so far: * The weapon is stowed on the back (as the normal secondary launcher would) * The hands remain empty

I set Template.StowedLocation = eSlot_RightHand; // should not be not needed for primaries to the template. This shouldn't be needed, as (at least from the code snippets) all primary weapons go into the eSlot_RightHand.

Is this anywhere hardcoded or part of the animation set (upk? "i doubt it")?

The config to allow weapon to be equipped as primary +AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="grenade_launcher")

The Weapon Template so far /** * This is the weapon template * This adds the LaunchGrenade ability replace the standart shot, that uses the * Adds the ReloadGrenadeLauncher ability replace Reload * Adds a extra grenade pocket, where the ammunition is placed */ static function X2DataTemplate CreateTemplate_IW_LightGrenadeLauncher() { local X2WeaponTemplate Template;

    /**
    could use X2GrenadeLauncherTemplate set sets
    var int IncreaseGrenadeRange;
    var int IncreaseGrenadeRadius;

    `CREATE_X2TEMPLATE(class'X2WeaponTemplate', Template, 'IW_LightGrenadeLauncher');
