I misread your post but I feel if you're going to use D/keydown(4) to equip/unequip weapons you should use a different key to actually fire the weapon otherwise why even both equipping them.

That's the whole reason I made this forum post, lol. How would I equip and then fire?

I already displayed my method of doing so.

I don't want to like spam the thread by asking meaningless questions, but essentially what you mean by System NPC is to create an NPC called -System/Equipment (does the -System even mean anything? wat) (on testbed mind you) and manage the equipping and dequipping of weapons? Huh? Why would you create a SYSTEM Npc for that? Why not a class?

A class is basically just for pasting functions into your script/weapon/level-npc. It doesn't actually exist as anything until it's joined to an DB-NPC Weapon-NPC, Level-NPC, or an object.

By System NPC I just mean a weapon that is added to the player that's primarily used for background tasks and as a database. In this case it's used to keep track of what weapon you currently have equipped and provides a standard way of equipping a weapon.

If you have two weapons: A and B, and you equip A how will B know that you have equipped A if you only tell A that it's equipped?

To deal with that you use a system npc and route your equip requests through it like my example does.

You don't have to use -System/Equipment as the weapon name either, you can use any name just make sure you update the scripts to make calls to it instead of -System/Equipment.

Ah OK. I thought you meant an actual NPC, but you just meant a weapon used as a System.

edit: nothing works and I pretty much managed to messed up my weapons to the point that I can't even execute a basic player.chat, will probably have to make a completely different thread attempting to fix this (it's probably a server bug not sure)

Anyway thanks for attempting to help me I guess
