NPCs and .233 Pistol

[weemies]

I tried to get either Vic or Cassidy to use the .233 Pistol, but neither will use it. I made sure their combat disposition was set correctly, they had ammo for the weapon, and didn't have other possible weapons in their inventory. What could be the problem? I'm using Killap's latest version of Fallout 2 restoration project.

They can't use SMG type guns, give it to Sulik.

 

[weemies]

Ok thanks. As for Sulik, he's always a melee fighter in my team, that's where he shines.

Yes, the .233 pistol uses smg animations and neither of those npc's have animations for smg so they cannot use it. It's the same if you try to give Sulik a cattle prod.

 

[weemies]

Yeah, and that sucks too. It seems like a strange "feature", but I guess the animators just didn't have the time or the resources. You'd think a fan mod could be made to correct this flaw, kind of like how Killap's restoration project can make the NPC's visually change armor.

That would mean editing every single frame on every single angle for a particular model. It really is an extremely tedious chore... Yay spites.

sulik is quite effective with thew .223 pistol

Believe me he "shines" incredibly fine with that .233 pistol too.

I've made the animations set for a cassidy smg (so he can use the .233 pistol) If you want it go to this thread in the modding forum:
