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.

anyways the code leaves option for leaving a player qith 1 weap. so the code might work for you but, in a more open environment the code must be as i said....also you didnt mentioned your map set up so one makes code which works in every stage not just your map.
besides the

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

if statement was completly useless and the players = get_players(); was just there for "yolo" reasons lol

If you don't want your weapon replaced when having a single gun like jj had earlier.

Untested.

	trigger waittill("trigger", players);
	current_weapon = players getCurrentWeapon();
	weapon_list = players GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
 
	if(isdefined(current_weapon) && weapon_list.size > 1)
	{
		players TakeWeapon( current_weapon );
	}

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

Hey guys this may have been answered here but i am a bit new so here's with the question.

Am I right in thinking this will allow one to only let a specific player activate the trigger?

The reason I ask is that I am looking for some help in creating a piece of code which says that;

If player = "player name" trigger = false

so essentially the play cannot purchase the gun unless the player name is one i have defined.

Oh I have

I was just inquiring in this thread to get clarification that the code that was posted performed that function. I'm clearly new and don't quite understand it hence my question was directed actually at this post

quick question, which script can we add the code to? I've done this stuff in non UGX maps, and they go in youmapname.gsc in root raw map folder. With ugx we dont have that, in that folder.. We have it in yourmapname.iwd in the root mods folder. I've tried it there and it doesnt work. The ugx install wiki says to put code "within ugx_mod.iwd and ugxm_guns.iwd" I did it in zombiemode.gsc, in ugx_mod.iwd, and It didnt work.. Where can I put it? sorry im a noob lol

I've got this script

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//Secret_Easter_Egg
Secret_trigger_1()
{
   trig1 = getEnt("secret_trigger","targetname");
   trig1 waittill("trigger", player );
   trig1 delete();
   trig1 SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
   
self.secret_trigger_num = self.secret_trigger_num + 1;

thread secret_weapon();
}

secret_trigger_2()
{
   trig2 = getEnt("secret_trigger2","targetname");
   trig2 waittill("trigger", player );
   trig2 delete();
   trig2 SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );

self.secret_trigger_num = self.secret_trigger_num + 1;

thread secret_weapon();
}

secret_trigger_3()

   trig3 = getEnt("secret_trigger3","targetname");
   trig3 waittill("trigger", player );
   trig3 delete();
   trig3 SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );

self.secret_trigger_num = self.secret_trigger_num + 1;

secret_weapon()
{
door = getEnt("secret_door","targetname");
if(self.secret_trigger_num == 2)
{
door movez(-500, 25);
wait 8;
door delete();
}
}

and instead of a door that opens I want to get a gun, how do I do that?
