Floating item trick not working anymore?

[Ninethousand]

Was the ability to put anything into a weapon holder removed?

I want to make "floating items", but the method that is described on google a million times doesn't seem to work for me.

I spawn a weapon holder, spawn a banana, give the banana a weapon tag, drag the banana with shift onto the weapon holder, and it just moves there, not into the holder.

Tried giving the banana more tags, tried flashlights, tried adding banana to the holder's restrictions, but nothing seems to work.

Was changed so that things that should be mountable are, and those that aren't, aren't.

Oh good, ofc the devs messed up again... THIS is why you don't change things like this. Now we have a million tutorials that are all wrong...
Why not add NONmountable weapons and ALLOW you to exclude things instead of FORCING you to allow everything?

I guess the "Shift allows you to put anything into any container" thing was also "fixed"?

Thanks for the help, there is just no working tutorial findable under all the non working tutorials.

What "million tutorials" are you talking about?

Holding shift to move loose items into containers in sub editor is just one of sub editor controls (which are appalingly poorly documented in the game I have to say). And this particular one is not even mentioned in the official guide.

What this has to do with the most useless of all containers - the weapon holder?
Any item with "mountableweapon" tag can be put into the weapon holder, including a banana that was edited such.

To make an item float in water like a cargo scooter, its body density has to be modded, AFAIK. I don't think it's possible via editor.

When it's sprite is made invisible it can be useful to move any item anywhere and rotate it as you wish without it being affected by physics.

Ah, using items inside invisible holders as decorations - like a crawler mask or a moloch bone as "a trophy on the wall" etc., not something with a practical use. This one I get.

But I still don't see what's the problem - "mountableweapon" tag was introduced a full year ago, and it works just fine for that.

And this update is in the top results in google.

Google "Barotrauma make items float". I found "a million" tutorials that are all wrong.

But hey! Now i have an entire room dedicated to research... on bananas! So... Thanks again? I guess?

Also... Cargo scooters hanging near the exits!

Well, Google won't show me anything except for a few reddit posts, mostly for a different game...
