Code Snippet

Plaintext

gun_give_trig()
{
	trigger = getent("gun_trig", "targetname");
	trigger sethintstring("Press F to get a Ray Gun");

	while(1)
	{
 
		players = get_players();
		trigger waittill("trigger", players);
		players GiveWeapon( "ray_gun" );
		wait(1);
	}
}

This should work(hopefully, never tested it xD).

EDIT: Removed the cost, didn't add that in the code so it was useless.

Since i don't know how to script how do i make it so that the ray gun replaces the weapon the player is holding

because your code just gives the player a ray gun and gives and extra slot like mulekick.

here you have

Code Snippet

Plaintext

gun_give_trig()
{
player = undefined;
	trigger = getent("gun_trig", "targetname");
	trigger sethintstring("Press F to get a Ray Gun");

	while(1)
	{
		trigger waittill("trigger", player);
 
	currentweapon = player GetCurrentWeapon();
	player TakeWeapon( currentweapon );
		player GiveWeapon( "ray_gun" ); //change here to the name of the gun you want"the name of the weapon file"
		wait(1);
	}
}

the code has a reference to change weapon

		current_weapon = players getCurrentWeapon();
 
		if(isdefined(current_weapon) )
		{
			players TakeWeapon( current_weapon );
		}

		players GiveWeapon( "ray_gun" );
		players SwitchToWeapon( "ray_gun" );
		wait(1);
	}
}

This should do it. I'm not sure if declaring "player" as undefined makes a difference so i never added it.

Sorry for asking so many questions, but could you make it so the trigger get deleted. so only one player can use it.

How about this?

noup :3 haha. hey dd what is the point of checking for if the player current weapon is defined? xD lol i htink that in this context the current weapon will obviosly be difined, you should have made that the "if" checks if the player weapons.size is == to 2 , cause if he has 1 weap this code will leave the player with just one weapon. also the get players is uneeded.
so....

	weapList = player GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
 
    if( weaplist.size >= 2 )
	{
		current_weapon = player getCurrentWeapon();
		player TakeWeapon( current_weapon );
		player thread give_raygun();
	}
	else if( weaplist.size <= 1 )
    {
        player thread give_raygun();
	}
 
	trigger delete();
}

give_raygun()

	self GiveWeapon( "ray_gun" );
	self SwitchToWeapon( "ray_gun" );
}

Just wondering, why are you doing players = getplayers(); if the next line sets players to whichever player triggers it? Also, I would change the F in the hintstring to &&1.

I am a bit new to coding but i added a new line (because i want it to be a hidden easter egg)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

gun_give_trig()
{
	trigger = getent("gun_trig", "targetname");
	trigger sethintstring("");
	trigger setCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
 
	players = get_players();
	trigger waittill("trigger", players);
	current_weapon = players getCurrentWeapon();
 
	if(isdefined(current_weapon) )
	{
		players TakeWeapon( current_weapon );
	}

	players GiveWeapon( "ray_gun" );
	players SwitchToWeapon( "ray_gun" );
	trigger delete();
}

The player would always have 2 weapons:

you start out with colt = 1 weapon

the player then buys a second weapon because the colt sucks = 2 weapons

then the player will get the ray gun which will replace his current weapon he is holding = 2 weapons

do you get what i am trying to say.

and also the trigger is in the 3rd room and the player wouldn't be able to get their with only the colt.
