Hi! I'm wondering since i have an upgraded_upgraded weapon, that can i make it so i can buy wall ammo off the wall for an upgraded_upgraded weapon, and to change the pack a punch price for an upgraded_upgraded weapon to be different from 5000? Also can that weapon be removed from the mystery box once it has been double pap, to prevent a useless weapon in a mystery box? If anyone could help me, that would be appreciated

Upgraded Weapon Problem in Scripting

ah, ok. i missed the price-variable there. However, you still need to change that sethintstring and dont mess with the other lines.

Besides that you need to look for the PaP funtion ( stock-scripts it's in zombiemode_perks but for Harry i wouldn't know ), and the when the player pap's a weapon check it that weapon is allready upgraded or not. If it is the price is 10000, and if it's not the price is 5000.

If you want the hintstring to say either "Upgrade weapon. Cost [5000]." when a player holds a normal weapon, or "Double Upgrade weapon. Cost [10000]." when a player hold an upgraded weapon it's not impossible but it's going to require quite a lot of code for just a hintstring.
You could simply do "Upgrade weapon: Cost [5000]. Double Upgrade: Cost [10000]." and then asjust the cost by checking if the weapon is allready upgraded or not like i mentioned above.
Code Snippet
Plaintext
	cost = 5000;
	weapon = player getcurrentweapon();
 
 
	if( isSubStr( weapon, "_upgraded" ) )
	{
		cost = 10000;
	}

It took a while but i finally got it working with the hintstring, so thank you so much bluntstuffy for answering all my questions, this is what i did, so please correct me if i did something wrong that would otherwise mess up things later.

There isn't really a "best answer" so i suggest anyone having this problem as well to read through bluntstuffy's post above.
