How do I replace starting weapons?

[TheWolfman00001]

I am trying to replace the pistol with a different variant that has buffed firing speed and damage, and it doesn't seem to be working. I have tried adding Weapon.SlotNumber 2 to my code but that only makes the edited pistol an extra weapon that I have to use "give all" to obtain. The replace command also doesn't seem to be working as whenever I use that command it has no effect. What am I doing wrong?

 

ACTOR PistolBuffed : pistol replaces pistol
{
  Weapon.SelectionOrder 1900
  Weapon.AmmoUse 1
  Weapon.AmmoGive 20
  Weapon.AmmoType "Clip"
  Obituary "$OB_MPPISTOL"
  +WEAPON.WIMPY_WEAPON
  Inventory.Pickupmessage "$PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED"
  Tag "$TAG_PISTOL"
  States
  {
  Ready:
    PISG A 1 A_WeaponReady
    Loop
  Deselect:
    PISG A 1 A_Lower
    Loop
  Select:
    PISG A 1 A_Raise
    Loop
  Fire:
    PISG A 4
    PISG B 0 A_FireBullets (0, 0, 1, 15, "BulletPuff", FBF_USEAMMO|FBF_NORANDOM)
    PISG B 0 A_PlaySound("weapons/pistol", CHAN_WEAPON)
    PISG B 3 A_GunFlash
    PISG C 4
    PISG B 3 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready
  Flash:
    PISF A 4 Bright A_Light1
    Goto LightDone
    PISF A 4 Bright A_Light1
    Goto LightDone
  Spawn:
    PIST A -1
    Stop
  }
}

 

I am putting my decorate code here, maybe you guys can find an error that I haven't?

I don't have a lot of experience with DECORATE, but perhaps try:

 

ACTOR PistolBuffed : weapon replaces pistol

 

That might be all it takes, I don't know if you'll also need:

 

Player.StartItem "_PistolBuffed"

Player.WeaponSlot 2, _PistolBuffed

 

I hope this helps.

to replace player's initial inventory, you have to create a new player class, and tell the game that it should use it instead of default DoomPlayer. decorate replacements has any effect only on items spawned on the map.
