Weapon Giving Problem in Scripting

Created on: November 28, 2016, 02:37:36 am

I have a script using "giveWeapon" but every time I get the weapon while I have 2 weapons already, it tries to give me 3 and of course Samantha curses me. How can I fix this to make it have the normal behavior of replacing a weapon if I have 2? I will put some of my script in just in case it helps, but not the whole script, because it's quite large.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

workbench waittill("trigger",player);

player thread do_knuckle_crack();
wait(2.7);
player playLocalSound("zmb_cha_ching");
player giveWeapon(getWeapon(level.weaponGiven));
player switchtoweapon(level.weaponGiven);

Before you give the weapon your going to want to take the players current weapon. Here is a nice and simple play to do it.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

workbench waittill("trigger",player);

player thread do_knuckle_crack();
wait(2.7);
player playLocalSound("zmb_cha_ching");
player takeWeapon( player getCurrentWeapon() ); // new 
player giveWeapon(getWeapon(level.weaponGiven));
player switchtoweapon(level.weaponGiven);

On my phone so check the ref to make sure those function names are right.

Thanks, but what if he has 1 gun? Will it give another or replace it? How can I check how many weapons he has for that. One last thing, where do you find these functions?

Have you tried to use

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zm_weapons::weapon_give(weaponobject);

It does a lot more checks, and I think one of them will handle mule kick and if player has max weapons.

And are you using the do_knucke_crack from _zm_pack_a_punch.gsc? I would assume they have compensated for that issue in there, most likely using the zm_utility::increment_is_drinking() function, and the zm_utility::decrement_is_drinking() one.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

workbench waittill("trigger",player);

player thread _zm_pack_a_punch::do_knuckle_crack();
wait(2.7);
player playLocalSound("zmb_cha_ching");
player zm_weapons::weapon_give(getWeapon(level.weaponGiven));
player switchtoweapon(getweapon(level.weaponGiven));

For your original issue, if this stuff ^ doesn't help, you can just check the primary size, something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if ( player HasPerk( "specialty_additionalprimaryweapon" ) )
	{
		if(player GetWeaponsListPrimaries().size > 2)
		{
			player TakeWeapon(player GetCurrentWeapon());
		}
	}
	else
	{
		if(player GetWeaponsListPrimaries().size > 1)
		{
			player TakeWeapon(player GetCurrentWeapon());
		}
	}
	player GiveWeapon(getweapon(weapon));
	player SwitchToWeapon(getweapon(weapon));

But there will be other concerns, like the minigun powerup and laststand and so on...

This is what i used to give the player the wunderwaffe in my Minecraft map

Code Snippet

Plaintext

weapon = getweapon( "tesla_gun" );
player zm_weapons::weapon_give(weapon, false, false);

You won't be able to do so since all functions in '_zm_pack_a_punch' are private, atleast I think so (and it also #namespace isn't used)
