To do this I just went into the Actor Class browser, selected a hammer guard, right click, "Edit Weapon Loadout", click "Make Local" and removed the hammer from "Back_Pickpocket" and changed it to "BroadSword" then saved the gamesys :thumb:

Does anyone know how to define new objects that can be attached as AI inventory like this ? And are there any scripts associated with them ?

For example the attacking animations seem to be related to the weapon itself not the AI - giving a seaside thug a hammer makes him use hammerite attacking animations, while giving the Kurshok broadsword to the hammerite, gives him Kurshok style attacking animations...

Edit: Whoops, just noticed the same "Edit Weapon Loadout" can be done from properties of an instance of an AI instead of doing it on the classes.. :)

Another little discovery - any non combatant (human) AI can be turned into a combatant one by adding a weapon. For example I added a Kurshok broadsword to the Fat Cook, and now he attacks and fights Garrett :laff:

Likewise removing a weapon from a combatant AI turns them into a non combatant which runs away at the first sign of trouble.

Yep. Discovered that a while after my post. Also the flag blsWeapon seems to control whether the class shows up as an available choice for equipping an AI...
