Weapons description in script??

by Donnie Hutson Jr · in Torque 3D Professional · 03/20/2014 (8:18 am) · 3 replies

ok, I have it like this and I get the name of the weapon easy;

%curWeapon = %sourceobject.getMountedImage($WeaponSlot).Item.getName();

however, i'd like to have the description thats already set in my weapons file....

description = "M4a1dx with Advanced Combat Scope";

thanks in advance.....

    If the description field is set in the weapons file then just get the field off of the object....
    %curWeapon = %sourceobject.getMountedImage($WeaponSlot).Item.description;
    Use that to set the text.
