I'm relatively new to GZDoom but not to doom, i've been modding doom for a long time (Mostly code and wad related content, I'm not good with maps so I tend to stay away from them) and a year back i started experimenting with 3D Models for doom, specifically with .md2, after i did a lot, i had to switch engines.

So now i'm here and i need help adding weapons, because although i can add them, give them, get them to shoot, etc, i can't get them a weaponslot, the gun itself only exists while the player is using it, afterwards the weapon hides, even when i have a lot of ammo and use the "IDKFA", so, how do i tie a weaponslot to my gun?

Any and all help would be nice, thanks in advanced...

If you Don't already know, the Zdoom Wiki has most of your answers.
You Have to Use a KEYCONF Lump.

Actually, you don't have to use a keyconf lump these days. You can now define a player class and set the weapon slots there.

Well it depends wether or not you want to change the playerclass, but both ways work

KEYCONF is obsolete. Regarding weapon it's merely there for backwards compatibility. The various DECORATE options are clearly preferred.

If a mod were just adding one or a few weapons, I'd think just using a KEYCONF would be best. Then the mod would still work with other mods that define their own playerclasses with weapon slots defined there. But for a total-conversion type mod that isn't likely to be run with another weapons mod, I'd just define the weapon slots in the player class.
