[Easy] Drawable Weaponchalks [like BO2] in Scripting

Hello guys,
today I present you my drawable weapons for World at War. It's my first script i made so don't hate me if i made some mistakes. The function of this script is that you can take a weapon chalk and draw it somewhere you want to buy it - like the chalks from Buried. So lets start...

The Scripting-Part:

1. Create a new .GSC and call it something you like ( for example "weapon_chalks.gsc")
2. Copy the code below in it ...

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility; 

//=========================================================== \\
// ===================== Drawable Chalk ===================== \\
//=========================================================== \\
main()
{
	trigger_off("place_weap", "targetname");						// Point where you can draw the weapon
	trigger_off("mp40", "script_noteworthy");						// Trigger to buy the weapon
	brush = getEnt ("weap_draw","targetname");						// Weapon chalk after drawing
	brush hide();
 
	trig = getEnt ("weap_chalk","targetname");						// Trigger to take the chalk
	trig setHintString ("Press &&1 to pick up the chalk");
	trig setCursorHint ("HINT_NOICON");
	trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
	trig waittill ("trigger");
	trig Delete();
 
	iprintln ("You take the weapon chalk");							// Message to show on display
 
	brush = getEnt ("weap_paint","targetname");						// Delete the chalk after you take it
	brush delete();
 
	trigger_on("place_weap", "targetname");
 
	trig = getEnt ("place_weap","targetname");						// Trigger where you place your weapon
	trig setHintString ("Press &&1 to draw the weapon");
	trig setCursorHint ("HINT_NOICON");
	trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
	trig waittill ("trigger");
	trig Delete();
 
	brush = getEnt ("interrogation_point","targetname");			// Disable the interrogation point
	brush delete();
 
	brush = getEnt ("weap_draw","targetname");						// Show new weapon chalk
	brush show();
 
	trigger_on("mp40", "script_noteworthy");						// Trigger to buy the weapon
}

//=========================================================== \\
// ===================== Drawable Chalk ===================== \\
//=========================================================== \\

3. Customize the script for the weapon you want in these lines.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

trigger_on("mp40", "script_noteworthy");						// Trigger to buy the weapon
trigger_off("mp40", "script_noteworthy");						// Trigger to buy the weapon

In this script i use the MP40. You can choose any weapon you want.

4. Last thing we have to do is to call the function in our "Mapname.gsc" (for example "DeliveryBD.gsc")

Search for this line in your Mapname.gsc:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();

and place this under it: ( replace "weapon_chalk" with your filename )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thread maps\weapon_chalk::main();

So it looks like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();
thread maps\weapon_chalk::main();

That was the Scripting-Part. Next we go into Radiant...

5. Now we have to place all triggers and brushes we need for the script...

Things you need:

Trigger-Use

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Targetname - Weap_Chalk  // Trigger where you take the chalk

Trigger-Use

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Targetname - Place_Weap  // Trigger where you draw the weapon

Next you take a weapon prefab you like for example the MP40. Stamp the prefab and put the trigger and the gunmodel to the interrogation point/brushmodel you create next. You don't need the chalk from the prefab so put it under the map.
Now create the Brushes ( Rightclick on the 2d view --> Script --> Brushmodel ).

Brushmodel

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Targetname - Weap_Paint  // Chalk to draw the weapon  --> delete after you take it

Brushmodel

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Targetname - Weap_Draw  // New chalk after you draw the weapon

Brushmodel

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Targetname - Interrogation_Point  // Interrogation point where you draw the weapon --> delete after drawing

That's all. It looks like this for example:

Here is the sequence of the script in pictures:

Now you have a drawable weapon in your map. I hope you understand all because like I sad - It's my first tutorial and script. You can also add something to the script for example multiple points to draw or something. So I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading...
