Modding Discussion So I think i figured something out.

Im guessing certain properties can only be applied to certain item types.

for example:

Code:

"itemName" : "flashlight",
  "inventoryIcon" : "flashlighticon.png",
  "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0],
  "rarity" : "Rare",
  "maxStack" : 1,
  "description" : "A handy flashlight! Seems to be powered by my energy pool.",
  "shortdescription" : "Flashlight",
  "largeImage" : "flashlightlarge.png",
  "inspectionKind" : "gun",
  "image" : "flashlight.png",
  "recoilTime" : 0.1,
  "handPosition" : [-2, 0],
  "firePosition" : [12, 3],
  "fireTime" : 0.5,
  "twoHanded" : false,
  "lightPosition" : [4, 0],
  "lightColor" : [255, 255, 255],
  "beamWidth" : 0.1,
  "ambientFactor" : 10.5,
 
  "projectileType" : "bullet-1",
  "projectile" : {

    "color" : [10, 255, 10]
  },
 
    "muzzleEffect" : {
    "animation" : "/animations/muzzleflash/bulletmuzzle3/bulletmuzzle3.animation",
    "fireSound" : [ { "file" : "/sfx/gun/pistol2.wav" } ]
  }
}

That will shoot things when it's named flashlight.gun, but light will not shine.

If you rename it flashlight.flashlight, light doth shine.

So we are stuck with Doom 3 guns?
