FAQ & Troubleshooting
  • Does the XM215 Sentry replace any weapon?
    No, it is a brand new weapon. It does however replace a few melee weapon spawns on each map. It is also incompatible with the Homemade Sentry Turret weapon, only one of the mods can be enabled at a time.

  • Does the XM215 Sentryt work in single player?
    Yes

  • Does the XM215 Sentry work in multiplayer?
    Yes, but every player and, if using one, the server, needs to have the add-on as sell as the Custom Weapon Base installed. If hosting a lobby Local Hosting needs to be selected.

  • Does the XM215 Sentry work on custom campaigns?
    No, unless noted otherwise in the campaign. The XM215 Sentry would have to be added to each individual campaign along with a control script in order to work.

  • Where can I find the weapon?
    Anywhere melee weapons normally spawn.

  • What mods are incompatible with this?
    Mods that alter gameplay by running VScripts are likely incompatible. That includes the Admin System and CS:S weapon unlockers. The XM215 Sentry is compatible with other mods using the Custom Weapon Base apsrt from the Homemade Sentry turret. A special compatible CS:S weapon unlocker also exists.

  • How do I spawn the XM215 Sentry from console?
    Use the command:
    give sentry


Troubleshooting guide
  • The XM215 Sentry can not be placed.
    This is likely caused by incompatibility with other mods. Disable other addons, especially conflicting ones.

    To place the turret hold down the fire button until the turret outline appears, then move the outline to a valid surface and make sure it turns green before releasing the fire button.

  • The XM215 Sentry does not spawn.
    Disable other addons featuring custom melee weapons or modes featuring mission file replacements. Make sure the Custom Weapon Base is installed. Make sure you are not playing on a custom campaign/map, and that you're hosting the game or playing on a server with the mod installed.

Known issues and Limitations
  • No bullet holes are left on surfaces and infected dismemberment does not work at range.
  • Does not work with custom campaigns unless the campaign is modified to include it.
  • Incompatible with other addons that globally execute scripts.

It means that if you are playing on a dedicated server, both the server and all players need to have the mod installed.

The scripts might be conflicting in some way.
