How can I make killed enemies drop weapons?

[hardcore_gamer]

I am using a new custom enemy and I would like him to drop another custom weapon that I am also using once he dies. I know this can probably be done somehow via scripting but I don't know the code.

Does anyone know how to do this? I am modding for the latest version of Zdoom by the way, and in hexen mode.

This is best achieved through DECORATE rather than scripting. Use the Drop Item actor property. Given that you have a custom weapon, I'll assume that you have already defined it. In that case, simply insert the name of your custom weapon with the probability value that the enemy drops the weapon (in this case, say, 100%). Your line of DECORATE code would look like this:

dropitem "[Name of Custom weapon]" 255

You can leave out the 255.
