Place weapons, singleplayer-style?

[Murphy]

Hi,
how can I add a weapon that appears every time, regardless of the difficulty, and can only be picked up once per game? If it could be a random weapon that would be a huge plus, but for now what's most important is having it show up 100% but not have it respawn.

do you mean picked up once per wave? once per game (map start to patriarch death) you just make pickup-> instantrespawn+ffalse, respawn time 0, and weaponpickup->thrown=true
if it is per wave, you couold make a scripted trigger that spawns the weapon after trader close, that way it can only be picked uop once, and only spawns at each wave strart

So, if once per game then just add a weapon pickup, like Shotgunpickup and then in properties>KFweaponpickup
bNoRespawn True
bOnePickupOnly True

I think it works that way.

Don't know about random weapons. Seems that i can't add KFweaponpickup actor

lol

The weapons will always spawn (of course we all know about having set respawn time. but the weps will still respawn next wave).

Its the ammo that has difficulties (annoying random sometimes).

I found if you use a scripted trigger to spawn ammo, it will spawn every time.
Just place your weapons normaly and put a bazillion respawn time.

Place the weapon of your choice > Properties > Pickup > Change Respawn Time to like 100000000000000

That's how i do it

I second that. Although a number as high as SMIFF proposes will give error. A million is enough to last a whole game.

The Weapons behind the locked doors on my dukemap only spawn once, using the settings I mentioned earlier.

What did you use for the "actor class" when spawning ammo using a scripted trigger?

No matter which one I choose nothing spawns (KFAmmoPickup, AA12AmmoPickup etc).
