Character Not Equipping New Weapons

[drelee]

I am not able to equip any new custom weapons I add whether I use the "Create Shooter Weapon" screen nor by duplicating an already existing weapon in the inventory. The weapon displays in the inventory correctly, but does not equip in game when i have "auto-equip" enabled or if i click on the weapon. I have followed the youtube tutorial and have tried this several times now. There is nothing in the documentation about adding a shooter weapon either. 
Steps taken:
1. Place Invectors Vassault rifle into the scene
2. Drag in my weapon as a child and align with invector vassault rifle
3. Remove everything from the renderer object and place under my new weapon.
4. Delete the old renderer and rename my weapon to renderer
5. Save new weapon as a prefab
6. Duplicate assault rifle in inventory. Set the prefab location to the new weapon prefab. Set the Drop Prefab to a copy of the original weapon prefab
7. Add the item to my inventory and auto equip. 

Ive also tried doing the first five steps and adding the weapon to the inventory as a new item instead of duplicating, but i get the same results.

That's pretty much the correct approach, do you have any errors in the console window?
Also, check the position of your weapon, maybe it's instantiating but it's not correctly positioned

The same problem is happening to me also, but only with some models. 

Here's a video of it failing with one model:




Here's a video of it succeeding with another (with janked left hand IK, but that's fixable):

Here's a view from the inventory window

Hi!

I have kind of the same issue, when using auto equip is says I have the weapon but it appears first when I aim or shoot.

Also when I have it holstered, it appears when I aim or shoot but I guess I shouldn't, and my character doesn't draw the weapon is just appears in his hands.
