Weapon drop Forge tutorial

[TheDman1954]

Hello, I am a big fan of all of THFE's work and I have an idea. Earlier, I made crates with weapons on top that spawn a few minutes into the game. I was trying to replicate weapon drops, like in Halo 4. I'm sure you guys could make something way better than that, but I still wanted to share how I did it. Anyway, I hope you consider my idea and do a turorial.

Sincerely,

this seems like a cool idea that would be neat if it could work out in a semi realistic way. I guess you could have crates and weapons drop from the sky to replicate a weapon drop but there would be some issues. 1. The weapons would most likely scatter when they fall and their position might not be obvious. 2. Since the weapons dropped from their original spawn to the ground they will not be around for very long as the game will probably despawn them as is seen with dropped weapons

Hmmm... You could go ahead and place the weapon on the ground where you're looking for the drop (say ~60 seconds in) and then have just the crate fall to the ground (around ~55 seconds in) to signify that the weapon has arrived? This way the weapon won't despawn due to being "dropped," yet would still get a sort of neat Weapon Drop effect. Only problem is that it's really not all that different than just placing the weapon in to begin with.

Good idea, if you could make it work then i'd love to see it. but as the THFE people have said, this would be very difficult and you may just be better off just placing the weapon on the floor.
