weapon not appearing on startup

[drarem]

I have a strange error. I'm using this below. It happens with any gun. When I click a 'start' button to begin, the code is executed below, but the rifle doesn't appear and i can only get one shot off until I go to an object where the hand icon hovers over it, like a pick call. Then the gun appears and i can shoot. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Mapfile contains the player prefab, pointing to the fpsplayer.lua script.

 

 

In the FPSPlayer.lua code:

 

if self.weaponfile~="" then

local prefab = Prefab:Load(self.weaponfile)

if prefab~=nil then

if prefab.script~=nil then

self:AddWeapon(prefab.script)

else

prefab:Release()

end--

end

end

Changed it to this at the end of the Start() function in FPSPlayer.lua. When I point my crosshair at an object to pick up, the gun pops up. I wonder if this is in the picking?

 

if self.weaponfile~="" then

self.fgun = Prefab:Load(self.weaponfile)

if self.fgun~=nil then

if self.fgun.script~=nil then

self:AddWeapon(self.fgun.script)

System:Print("weapon should be added here, but it isn't")

else

self.fgun:Release()

end--

end

end

I was hoping I would have time to help you with this today, but I am going out of town in the morning. Will be able to take a closer look next week.
