As Zox stated on the barrel, what we are trying to do is to pick up that standing barrel so that when we can throw it, and after it's thrown to the ground, the barrel needs to lie on the ground without going back to standing. Problem is, we can't pick up a standing barrel though the laid barrel can be picked up. The picture shown above is we can pick a laid barrel from the ground not a standing one.

Here's the shot of the two barrels and each of them is in idle anim as 'weapons'. I can't set the standing barrel as weapon item. I want to make barrel as weapon item to carry.
Throwing a barrel (after getting a laid barrel) will not disappear after it reaches the ground and so it performs back to idle (the laid barrel). Dunno how yours works, Bloodbane.
(Is there a way for picking up standing barrel and throwing it to the ground or hit opponent and then touch the ground without disappearing and after it's rolled to stop, it performs laid idle?)

I don't understand why you can't make both barrels as weapon. Is standing barrel an obstacle?
My method is to 'shoot' different entity for thrown barrel. This thrown barrel, after it stops on ground, spawns barrel weapon and removes itself
Because of that, there's no need to worry about thrown barrel going back to IDLE
Well, if standing barrel is a weapon, it should be easy. If it's an obstacle, we need a little workaround.

Yeah, it is an obstacle, but I meant ONLY the standing barrel which I can't pick up as a weapon. I made a txt copy of Billy5 to be renamed as Billy11 for the standing barrel while Billy5 is for picking up only the laid barrel.
Main Billy character header:
The standing barrel is named barrel2 and I did set weapnum as 11. I
Both Billy5 and Billy11 (one which I created as a copy of Billy5) have the same animations except the name(s). Also they have the same pbomb to throw a barrel, but Billy11 can't pick and throw while Billy5 works.
Billy11 header:
From both Billy5 and Billy11 (pbomb2 is thrown barrel):

I don't mean he's picking another weapon while holding a barrel. What I mean is the character code, they have the same animation and character header. I declared them for picking it up but standing barrel can't be picked up.
Weapons = Item = Ability to pick up
Billy5 = laid barrel = can be picked up
Billy11 = standing barrel = CAN'T be picked up
Bloodbane said:
My apology for confusing you on the throwing and picking issue. It's the weapon picking issue, not the throwing issue. I meant when Billy picks up a laid barrel from the ground, then Billy switches to weapon Billy5 for holding a barrel. Yes, Billy can pick up a laid barrel. The standing barrel is supposed to be picked up by him and Billy cannot pick up a standing barrel at all.

I didn't think of bbox until I did it a few days ago. Also, for platform, I did adjust it to match the platform size with the height and width, but the problem is the player can't make him jump on top of it unless he gets knocked out after he carries the barrel that was standing before it got picked up.
Also, another problem is that every time I throw a barrel (either if it's standing or lying down) to an enemy to knock him, the lying barrel pops out of nowhere and the thrown barrel bounces and stops where the lying barrel popped out. However, throwing it to the ground instead of throwing it to enemies is fine.
Another problem is when the player picks up the standing barrel and the enemy knocks him out, the barrel is dropped with the standing barrel instead of being dropped to play a lying down animation. When I pick up a standing barrel and the enemy knocks me out, how can I make a barrel drop to lying down instead of going back to standing position?
Click them to see what I mean.
Question: I wonder if it's possible to spawn a gotten item when the player is getting an item. For example, on DD iPhone version, the player picks up the barrel while the barrel animation is playing.
$#1+!!! I've been trying to post this but this (IE) browser keeps emptying my post and forces me to repost from scratch. I'm getting too tired of reposting this many times.

That's more than one month old thread you've revived so please excuse me if I'm lost to what was posted earlier :'(
Uh... did you set something which could spawn lying barrel in thrown barrel text?
If not then I'm lost
For this one, I solved it by setting weapon's counter to 0 so when the weapon (barrel) is dropped because of getting hit, it will disappear and can't be repicked. And in Billy's PAIN & FALL animation he 'shoots' barrel which can hurt enemies and Billy too. Or I should say that Billy drops the barrel he was holding (DD style)
That's the general idea however. In practice, we need extra work to stabilize this
Huh? oh I thought you meant player picks up barrel while barrel is moving or animating but you actually meant: after picking up an item, an animation is played
You need special script declared with didhitscript in item's text to do this. I need to find an example for this... I'll post it after I find one

The thrown one is a pbomb. I just found out just now. Pbomb2 is the thrown barrel so here it is. I believe there was a mistake that the subentity and spawnframe were put below the last frame for attack1 and attack2 anims. I didn't see it until now.
What's weird is that spawnframe with the path does not crash.
EDIT:
This is the frames and the offset for the pbomb2 (barrel):
