Mesh

[William(Rainman)]

Every time i change the Mesh of a weapon in the Editor it works but when i enter the game it reverts back. How do i make it keep the Mesh?

Every 'weapon' has at least 2 meshes in unreal , pickup and 3rdperson , make sure they are both set appropriately.

also you cant just swap a model and expect it to work , you may need to refine the animation calls in the scripts. other wise u get a mega ton of script errors and nothing animates.

Right-Click your new weapon class in the browser, select DefaultProperties, expand "Inventory" and you'll find the following options:

PickupViewMesh - What the player sees on the ground
PlayerViewMesh - 1st person view of a model
ThirdPersonMesh - The model other players see in your hand.

Under "Display", there's also a simple "Mesh" option. That only changes the mesh you see when that weapon is placed in a map through the editor, not its in-game one!

Make sure you're saving the appropriate package properly after editing any options too.

Correct! If you Sub-Class a weapon but change its default PlayerViewModel, then you will need to re-code some of the Animation function calls to ensure your new gun plays the right animation and doesn't screw the log over!
