Renaming "Press x to Pickup *****"

Post by Yamagushi »

If you dupe a SMG is it possible to have the Dupe be renamed to something else while the SMG still remains named SMG? And if so how? Thank you

Yes, you have to use a different item pickup unicode string though that isn't being used in the game, example "Sentinel Grenade Launcher" or "Desintigrator". I know the string you use for the SGL pickup text, sen_g_pickup, but I don't know the other one.
Use Entity 1.4 or Blu to edit the unused strings to your liking.

If your talking about the tag itself use Insolence or Entity 1.4 to rename it.

Then use Blu to edit it, and make your second SMG use that string.
