the "lightning Bolt" drop as its "actually" known, doesnt act that way

You keep it until it runs out of ammo, and the shader fades depending on how much ammo you have - it does not just last 30 seconds

dg_drop( drop_item, player_won )
{
	primaryWeapons = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
	for( i = 0; i < primaryWeapons.size; i++ )
	{
		self TakeWeapon( primaryWeapons[i] ); 
	}
	self giveWeapon( "tesla_gun" );
	self switchToWeapon( "tesla_gun" );
	self GiveMaxAmmo( "tesla_gun" );
	wait (30);
	self TakeWeapon("tesla_gun");
	for( i = 0; i < primaryWeapons.size; i++ )                          // you forgot this for() loop
	{
		self giveWeapon(primaryWeapons[i]);
	}
}

Some things can go wrong with this, like if you pick up a second drop you will end up with the Tesla gun. Or if you pick it up while drinking a perk you will lose your guns.. Stuff like that

So if you take the drop you would like to replace your current weapon for the DG for the rest of the game? I'm a bit confused 

He's saying he wants it to be like a normal Death Machine drop, where it lasts for 30 seconds and then when it finishes it gives your guns back. The problem is that it doesn't give your weapons back when it finishes.

dg_drop( drop_item, player_won )
{
	primaryWeapons = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
	for( i = 0; i < primaryWeapons.size; i++ )
	{
		self TakeWeapon( primaryWeapons[i] ); 
	}
	self giveWeapon( "tesla_gun" );
	self switchToWeapon( "tesla_gun" );
	self GiveMaxAmmo( "tesla_gun" );
	wait (30);
	self TakeWeapon("tesla_gun");
	for( i = 0; i < primaryWeapons.size; i++ )                          // you forgot this for() loop
	{
		self giveWeapon(primaryWeapons[i]);
	}
}

Thanks for this Blunt!I'm going to test it and see if the bugs you mentioned really happen.Just a question:Is there a way to add a shader to this powerup?

Easiest way would be taking offsets from BO1 and do setShader on that location, I can take a look at it tomorrow
