I am trying to make use of the awesome new feature allowing two weapons for HWPs. I have been able to make use of two weapons without problems.
Another thing that I am trying to do, however, is give other items to HWPs. For example, a tank with an integrated motion scanner. Or in this case, a dog (to represent its ability to sniff out aliens). Unfortunately, the motion detector ends up in the dog's backpack instead of in its "hand", so it's unuseable.
I have tried defining items as fixedWeapons, or not, and defining the dog as a livingWeapon, or not, but nothing does it.
Making the motion scanner equivalents fixedWeapons just ends up with them being unmovable (so stuck in the backpack).
Making dogs livingWeapons does absolutely nothing. It doesn't prevent them from using grenades/medikits/guns and doesn't help with the placement of the items either :/
Is there any way to do this or, as I suspect, is this new feature limited to weapons? As far as modding is concerned, it would be best if the 2nd item always goes in the left hand, no matter what it is.
