Communal Box in Scripting

This will make the box weapon take-able for all players, not just the person that hit the box.

All changes will be in your _zombiemode_weapons.gsc, treasure_chest_think() function.

I have provided two options, the few steps necessary for this, or at the bottom of the page you can select and replace the entire function.

Step-by-step
Locate the treasure_chest_think() function.
Replace the following:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		self setvisibletoplayer( user );

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		self setvisibletoplayer( user );
		self thread GiveMeASecond(); //gives the player who hit the box time to take weapon

Replace the following:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

			if( grabber == user || grabber == level )

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

			if( is_player_valid(grabber) || grabber == level )

Replace the following:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

				if( grabber == user && is_player_valid( user ) && user GetCurrentWeapon() != "mine_bouncing_betty" )

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

				user = grabber;
				if( is_player_valid( user ) && user GetCurrentWeapon() != "mine_bouncing_betty" )

Then add the following function after the treasure_chest_think() function function

Code Snippet

Plaintext

GiveMeASecond(){
	wait(3); //gives the buyer 3 seconds to chose to take it
	self SetVisibleToAll();
}

or, if it is easier for you, just replace your whole treasure_chest_think() function with this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

treasure_chest_think()
{	
	cost = 950;
	if( IsDefined( level.zombie_treasure_chest_cost ) )
	{
		cost = level.zombie_treasure_chest_cost;
	}
	else
	{
		cost = self.zombie_cost;
	}

	self set_hint_string( self, "default_treasure_chest_" + cost );
	self setCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );

	//self thread decide_hide_show_chest_hint( "move_imminent" );

	// waittill someuses uses this
	user = undefined;
	while( 1 )
	{
		self waittill( "trigger", user ); 

		if( user in_revive_trigger() )
		{
			wait( 0.1 );
			continue;
		}

		// make sure the user is a player, and that they can afford it
		if( is_player_valid( user ) && user.score >= cost )
		{
			user maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score( cost ); 
			break; 
		}
		else if ( user.score < cost )
		{
			user thread maps\_zombiemode_perks::play_no_money_perk_dialog();
			continue;	
		}

		wait 0.05; 
	}

	// trigger_use->script_brushmodel lid->script_origin in radiant
	lid = getent( self.target, "targetname" ); 
	weapon_spawn_org = getent( lid.target, "targetname" ); 

	//open the lid
	lid thread treasure_chest_lid_open();

	// SRS 9/3/2008: added to help other functions know if we timed out on grabbing the item
	self.timedOut = false;

	// mario kart style weapon spawning
	weapon_spawn_org thread treasure_chest_weapon_spawn( self, user ); 

	// the glowfx	
	weapon_spawn_org thread treasure_chest_glowfx(); 

	// take away usability until model is done randomizing
	self disable_trigger(); 

	weapon_spawn_org waittill( "randomization_done" ); 

	if (flag("moving_chest_now"))
	{
		user thread treasure_chest_move_vo();
		self treasure_chest_move(lid);

	}
	else
	{
		// Let the player grab the weapon and re-enable the box //
		self.grab_weapon_hint = true;
		self.chest_user = user;
		self sethintstring( &"ZOMBIE_TRADE_WEAPONS" ); 
		self setCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" ); 
		self setvisibletoplayer( user );
		self thread GiveMeASecond();


		// Limit its visibility to the player who bought the box
		self enable_trigger(); 
		self thread treasure_chest_timeout();

		// make sure the guy that spent the money gets the item
		// SRS 9/3/2008: ...or item goes back into the box if we time out
		while( 1 )
		{
			self waittill( "trigger", grabber ); 

			if( is_player_valid(grabber) || grabber == level )
			{

				user = grabber;
				if( is_player_valid( user ) && user GetCurrentWeapon() != "mine_bouncing_betty" )
				{
					bbPrint( "zombie_uses: playername %s playerscore %d round %d cost %d name %s x %f y %f z %f type magic_accept",

				}
			}

			wait 0.05; 
		}
