View source for Raising/lowering Weapon from outside Player

{{Original_Reference|Ishtvan|2870}}

Apparently it's not enough to call idPlayer::RaiseWeapon or LowerWeapon all the time (although Lloyd's grabber code just calls RaiseWeapon and it works, so I'm not sure what the circumstances are.) Anyway, to get it to work, I had to add the following line after LowerWeapon. It's changing a public bool in idPlayer. Otherwise the weapon was not lowered in my case.

 idPlayer *self;
 // (assign self to the player)
 
 // lower weapon
 self->LowerWeapon();
 // ADDITIONAL LINE REQUIRED:
 self->hiddenWeapon = true;
