DETAILS:

I am using a system like this:

Where the currently selected weapon slot is active while the others are not

and the guns are parented to the slot

[red eagle]

How are the guns different? Do they have IDs? Different scripts?

[odd dragon]

they are different prefabs

[red eagle]

Yes, so, how are they different?

How do you differentiate between your guns

[odd dragon]

I have yet to differentiate them

As i have no idea what I am doing

[red eagle]

Do that then. Use an ID, or different script, whatever

[odd dragon]

I just need a hole to start drilling

yknow

[red eagle]

Then when you pick up a gun, check that identifier to know which gun to make active

[odd dragon]

how would I do that?

i can make an array with different numbers

but i want to randomize the guns later on

so that would not work

[red eagle]

If you can change the gun that is in each slot, you should attach the identifier to the gun itself

Like i said, an id. Like.. gunType or something

[odd dragon]

So if weapon = 3 then it is the shotgun

?

[red eagle]

I guess?

[odd dragon]

ill try that

[red eagle]

Basically to start with, just create a way to identify between your guns

[odd dragon]

ok

you ahve any idea how to identify them?

[odd dragon]
