A quick post on something I've been working on recently, SimpleWeaponGenerator or SWAG as I like to call it. This allows for the creation of simple weapons in UDK. It creates the 5 scripts needed for a new weapon using custom inputs from the user. Once the scripts are made you just need to recompile them with the UDK Frontend.

I will be using some friends to test it out and hopefully work out some of the bugs and refine it a bit more. Along with the script side of things I have also created a SWAG Rig, for quick and easy rigging of simple weapons in UDK. The user just needs needs to place locators in the specified places. Below is an image of this tool, this one is used in Maya while the script generator is a separate application. Upon generating the rig it will clean up the locators and all that will be left to do is to bind the resulting skeleton with the weapon

There are a lot of things Id like to do with the script generator but for now it is very bare bones. I'm hoping for the next major update though is to add a few basic weapon templates (LinkGun,ShockRifle,RocketLauncher) that users can choose from so that there is varying functionality, but for now I am glad that it is just functioning!
