make new weapon

im trying to make a new weapon for use in valve hammer editor.

i can make all the necessary mdl files but i dont know how to make it available in-game.

and also even if i did it wouldnt be in the half life fgd in hammer.

im really confused and i cant do c++ or any thing like that

Sorry you need coding to add new weapons. Its very hard, as you may see there are no mods (that I have seen) that have custom weapons. Other than those mods made by real developers. Anyway getting the wepon in the fgd is the easy part.

What weapon where you going to make?

Aaron's Stuff

you can make custom weapons for whatever mod you want to use them in, but not for hammer. like taking the shotgun model from tfc, decompiling it, and tying your own shotgun model geometry to all of the decompiled animations. this only changes what the shotgun looks like, as it will still act the exact same once it's installed in tfc as the original did. to make a new super weapon that fires hedgehogs and crabs and stuff would require coding in c++, or else it'd be done and dusted by now.

dunno just sumtin random

Make up your mind. If you're making a mod, you might get away without coding when making simpler weapons. You'd have to replace one of the
original HL ones and change the sounds, models, skill.cfg entries, etc.

Though when it comes to something more complex - coding is mandatory.
