Note:Requires weapon script names, such as "weapon_pistol" and "weapon_rifle_desert". Does not work with melee weapons. Only adds a weapon into the models hands, ignoring attachment points for carried items. Making listing multiple weapons useless, as only last listed weapon will be used
Note:If set to "Yes" entire body turns towards player, but if set to "No", the models eyes will stare to the map center. Set "Head Yaw Pose Parameter" and "Head Pitch Pose Parameter" to a random letter to have the player not turn towards you and just have its eyes following you.
