Ok.
I know I can use hit_j: 50+- to operate dvz in balls. I belevie it's just for objects with type 3. (correct me if im wrong)

What if I want to move a weapon in Z direction on spawn? Type 4
I tried to use hit_j, but it didn't seem to work.

you can let a ball create the wepons. since you can control the z of balls, it should work.
or do you need weapons to move after creation?

I take it that you want to do something similar to Woody's D>A except that the character throws weapons?
What if the 1st frame of the thrown weapon is a ball frame like 3000 with hit_j, and then the 2nd frame goes back to being a normal weapon frame, would it retain the momentum of its z-movement? Or basically what mfc said, except you make the ball transform into the weapon.

I'm afraid not. The way hit_j: works (as far as I'm aware) is simply moving the object up or down by whatever specified, it doesn't actually change the velocity of the object. On top of that I think hit_j: only works this way in type: 3 object (balls).

I may have a solution, but it will require modifying the executable. There may be a solution involving data changing only, but it would most likely be buggy.

If you can live with a slight delay and a lot of fine tuning you could use the facing in combination with an invisible ball that blocks the weapon movements only (itr kind 14). The blocking object could move along x and z to give each weapon from the facing a different offset (kind of like a shutter opening from one side) - however they would still all appear at the same time. If pulled off optimal the whole process should run completely invisibly during a wait 1 duration.

Alternatively you could try to spread them out on the z axis with a well placed weapon specific whirlwind itr.

edit: again this may be more trial and error than you are willing to put up with - maybe I'll throw some samples into the timer thing.

simple way: make it a regular ball and use dvy to do the up and down movement. give the ball a hit_a timer, which will lead it into a frame with hit_Fa right before it touches the ground(to allow ground hitting). hope you understand
