So im tryign to give my self weapons from script but everytime i try this i just a a "struct is not an entity" error

What i have tried so far

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player GiveWeapon("ray_gun"); // Didnt think this would work
// -----------------------------------------
player GiveWeapon(GetWeapon("ray_gun"));
// -----------------------------------------
weapon = GetWeapon("ray_gun");

player GiveWeapon(weapon);
// -----------------------------------------
#using scripts\zm\_zm_weapons;

weapon = GetWeapon("ray_gun");

player zm_weapons::weapon_give(weapon);
// -----------------------------------------
#using scripts\zm\_zm_weapons;

player zm_weapons::weapon_give("ray_gun");
// -----------------------------------------
// tried all of the above but adding a SEE BELOW before them to make sure everything gets init'ed
level waittill("between_round_over");

These should work for giving weapons

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player GiveWeapon(GetWeapon("ray_gun"));
// -----------------------------------------
weapon = GetWeapon("ray_gun");

player GiveWeapon(weapon);

But you will also then need to switch to it. Is that the part that is missing? Did you try switching to it?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player SwitchToWeapon(weapon)

use this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

callback::on_spawned( &on_player_spawned );

function on_player_spawned()
{
	self endon("disconnect");
        weapon = GetWeapon("ray_gun");
        self GiveWeapon(weapon);
        self SwitchToWeapon(weapon);   
}

Just do:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts\shared\callbacks_shared;
#using scripts\shared\flag_shared;

#namespace wardog_test_script;

function pre_init()
{
	callback::on_connect(&test_player_connect);
}

function test_player_connect()
{
    level flag::wait_till( "initial_blackscreen_passed" );
    weapon = getweapon("ray_gun");
    self giveweapon(weapon);
    self switchtoweapon(weapon);
}

That should work.

    weapon = getweapon("ray_gun");
    self giveweapon(weapon);
    self switchtoweapon(weapon);
}

That should work.

This worked perfectly fine until i decied i wanted to call another function and give my weapon from what function

This does not work but above does

Reason i want to split the functions up is because i want to add my gamemode mod to BO3 and for that to work i need to init the player specfic to the gamemode (calling different functions)

    self switchtoweapon(weapon);

well for somereason it doesnt

if its in the same function it works perfectly fine seperate it and the game throws that struct not entioty error

if it helps i just pushed all of my gamemode script to my GitHub

Where im giving weapons
Where im calling player_init

youl have to bit of digging to fine where the rest is called from
