that's because i can't show the script that triggers the public function; it's in another weapon, and i dont have access to it.

sorry.
i'll try to replicate it on testbed.

**EDIT**
it was quite easy to replicate, i only had to try once.

Public/Deas_Voice/Weapon:
(When you update this script, it goes to player's x/y, but if u move, it stays at that x/y)

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
public function use() {
  shootarrow(player.dir);
} 


Public/Deas_Voice/WeaponTrigger:
(this is the wnpc you use to trigger the Weapon)

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired(){
  ("Public/Deas_Voice/Weapon").use();
} 


PS. these two exists on Testbed.

*Edit2: I've added "shootfireball(player.dir);" to the WeaponTrigger (on Testbed) because i want to show how it should look like.

The problem is fixed if you some how get the code you can't access changed to use triggers instead of calling a public function.

but that will change the function to "onApply()" which is madness to do now, because you have to change all other scripts to that, just for the shootarrow/nuke/ect to work..

Not hard to do by script.

If it means less changes, try triggering something like onWakeUp.

how do you mean?
where do you want to to make a trigger?

Same place that calls apply().

[Admins]

shootarrow() takes the position of the npc/weapon that shoots the arrow. Weapons are automatically moved to the player position. You cannot change the weapon position if you are on a gmap.
About triggering another weapon: If you call the function of the other weapon directly it is not syncing the position, only if the weapon receives an event (onWeaponFired, trigger etc.). I suggest using a simple approach and calling shootarrow in the original weapon script (or pass the weapon object to the other function and then call callerweapon.shootarrow()).

uhh, okey.

well it got solved by doing trigger in the public function, then do shootarrow() in that function.
thanks maui.
