Just in case anyone else wants to know how to do this, I'll provide the code. I can't count how many times I've found the answers to seemingly impossible questions in these forum archives.

Anyway,

Add this code in the skin/skeleton animation (usually a death animation, otherwise the enemy starts to shoot out of his hand):

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> [Message] Frame = 0; String = &quot;LeftHandWeapon->WS_Animate(&quot; WEAPONANIM_DROPONDEATH &quot;);&quot;;
[Message] Frame = 1; String = &quot;RightHandWeapon->WS_Animate(&quot; WEAPONANIM_DROPONDEATH &quot;);&quot;;
[/code]</blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">And then in the script for the weapon itself:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> [Animation] Index = WEAPONANIM_DROPONDEATH; Filename = spin.kf2;
[Properties]
{
[Message] Frame = 0; String = &quot;this->WS_Hide( &quot; TRUE &quot; );&quot;;
[Message] Frame = 0; String = &quot;this->li_CreateLevelItem( katana );&quot;;

}
[/code]</blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No prizes for guessing what this specific entry does. images/icons/wink.gif

Yes, that'll do it, but it's not necessary unless you're disarming them without killing them.
