📋 About This Mod
While testing my WAP Laser Pistol mod i noticed the latch for the gun would be out of position everytime i reload or clear a jam. I thought i rigged the gun wrong, but after many attempts at re-rigging the gun it was still happening. I tried with WMIM mesh and it was still happening, then i tried EVE, and then finally vanilla, it was happening with all of these mesh with/or without WAR. I thought i was going crazy, i finally lost all my marbles.
until i look at the anim file in vanilla or the one from TTW (thanks konrad for sending it to me so i didnt have to download and install that)
long story short, i fix it. This KNVSE will work with any laser pistol (WMIM, EVE or mine)
p.s. yes it does work just fine with hit laser pistol KNVSE set or rockbiter
if you dont want to use KNVSE just copy the anim file to the same folder structure as vanilla. I didnt want to do that since i don't know if my edit touch any other gun that might use the same animation.
