I've used the code from the tutorial section and made a few changes to it. My question is how do I add into the script for a player to have a specific weapon and this specific weapon only until powerup wears off then it switches player back to weapons before grabbing the powerup. Also I was trying to add an HUD similar to double points and insta kill to show at bottom when you have powerup, it shows but it disappears in a split second. How to fix?


Thanks.

unlimited_ammo_powerup( drop_item, player_won )
{
	level notify ("powerup unlimited ammo");
	level endon ("powerup unlimited ammo");
	wait ( 1 );
	PlaySoundAtPosition("juggernaut_vox", (0, 0, 0));
	self iPrintLnBold("^4Juggernaut");
	self EnableInvulnerability();
	setsaveddvar ( "player_sustainammo",  1 );
	level.powerup_hud[0].x = 0; 
	level.powerup_hud[0] setshader("specialty_longersprint", 32, 32);
	level.powerup_hud[1].alpha = 0;
	level.powerup_hud[0].alpha = 1;
 
	wait ( 30 );
 
	self iPrintLnBold("^7No More Juggernaut");
	self DisableInvulnerability();
	setsaveddvar ( "player_sustainammo", 0 );
}

1 Ok so first you want to store what weapon is currently at hand in a variable

2 Next you want to give the new weapon ( add_weapon("WEAPON"); )

3 You wanna force switch the player TO that weapon ( set_switch_weapon("WEAPON"); )

4 Lock weapon changing and interactions to stop them from switching it out and lock purchasing other weapons to force replace it (I forget the command for this, use script reference or look at other code)

5 set a delay (In your case 30 seconds i assume) ( wait(30); )

6 after the delay, switch the weapon back using the variable (set_switch_weapon ("WEAPON REFERENCE IN VARIABLE"); )

7 remove the temporary weapon again ( again i forget, but possible something like remove_weapon("WEAPON"); )


Now to go into more detail youll need to allow for funny behaviours (You might have noticed the infinate ammo bug from rats v2)

You need to check if a player is downed and handle it accordingly

You may have to handle for things like, holding grenade, player dropping out, reviving etc



The shader thing i have no idea, im not experienced enough with these elements yet


I havent listed all the necessary commands as I cant remember them all off hand. But you'll find them in other code, the UGX script reference or prob in that same tutorial section



^^ If anything about this is wrong one of the others will come along and put it right before long
