Satchel problem
2 years ago
Oregon, USA

I've noticed a couple times at Gonarch's Lair that my satchels don't behave properly. I can't switch to them with my normal bind. Using cheats and typing "give weapon_satchel" puts a satchel in my hand, and my HUD shows I have five. But I can't use them. If I switch away I can't get back to them.

What's going on? Is there a way to avoid this?

I'm playing WON Gldsrc package 1.36.

If you switch weapons right after you blow up the satchel that happens. To fix it hold the satchel for 20 seconds and it will return back to normal But just don't switch too quickly wait for satchel animation to end

Thanks, I will try that next time it happens! I've noticed that sometimes the detonator comes up when I switch to satchels, and wasn't sure if this problem was related.

OK, so I identified the specific problem a bit better. My particular problem does NOT happen if I switch weapons during the detonator animation of my last satchel.

My problem is a little different from that. If I:

  • throw my last satchel, detonate it, and then wait before switching weapons (the way you're supposed to), AND
  • the next satchels I pick up are the five in the weapon box in the second ammo room at the end of Lambda Core,

THEN this problem happens. I can't switch to satchels at all. I don't even get a detonator. If I try to switch to satchels using the weapon selector, it switches to my tripmines. If I pick up another satchel, I can switch to it, but I can't throw it, and I can't select it again if I switch away.

So far I see no solution to this if it happens. The only option is to destroy the Gonarch's floor with something else.

However, I've found that if I pick up at least one of the lone satchels in the first ammo room first, the ones in the same room as the Gluon gun, I can then pick up the rest in the weapon box and I won't have this problem.
