UDK: Creating custom weapon

Stitch

Hi all,
I've seen lots of vids on utube of custom weapons implemented into UDK, but no tutorials. At this stage I am primarily interested in making a custom gun mod of an existing weapon mesh and animations (basically make it work first then do the art components later). I know I'm going to have to use Uscript, possibly kismet. I'm somewhat new with kismet and I have no experience with Uscript. Any help greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Hello Stitch

depending on what modeling program you are using it can be hard or easy, i personally use blender because i find it easy but others dont so personal preference.
Anyway you dont need any kismet to make a weapon work (i guess you can do something with it but i dont no anyone who uses it to get a weapon working in game)

here is the exact tutorial that taught me how to get weapons working in udk and i find it very good to follow and helpful so hope it helps you

I found Geodav's tutorials to be really useful for this - they're written for UT3 but are still really good - easy to follow and takes you through all the basics of modelling, rigging and importing a custom weapon:
