So, I heard you got down right inbetween that weird time frame of you buying the perk but you don't have it yet. And now you're raging and probably even left the game. Now if it was Original? World At War, it would deduct points AFTER you got it, not as you hold "Use". Well boi, and/or gurl (I don't judge), do I have a tutorial for you.
- Step 0: -- Find "_zm_perks.gsc" within "ROOT\shared\raw\scripts\zm" - Step 0.5: -- Copy to your mod/map scripts folder. For Example: "ROOT\maps\zm_mapname\scripts\zm" - Step 1: -- Open the file and goto line ~577. And replace:
player.perk_purchased = perk; player notify( "perk_purchased", perk );
self thread zm_audio::sndPerksJingles_Player(1); self thread vending_trigger_post_think( player, perk ); player waittill("burp"); player zm_score::minus_to_player_score( current_cost );
- Step 1.5: -- If you didn't already, put "scriptparsetree,scripts/zm/_zm_perks.gsc" within your zone file so the game knows about the file.
Now for the less important stuff: - Why? -- Because I really liked that why and I figured maybe classic fans (or new ones) would like it too. - What does this do? -- So basically instead of the player buying the perk right away, it waits til the player burps (aka gets the perk) then issues the deduction of points.

I think they removed this in world at war because you could buy the perk and before your points were taken you could walk over and purchase something else for example an electric trap then have your points taken from buying the perk and go into negative points, example being on verrukt you could have 2000 points exactly, buy double tap then quickly go purchase the electric trap and then have your 2000 taken from buying double tap to get into the negative points
If you want scripts / features made for you, then contact me by PM or email / skype etc it will cost you tho so if you have no intention of reciprocating don't even waste my time

Luckily, Treyarch possible thought about this because you can't buy anything while doing the perk anims (At least for me because I tried buying the box while buying Jugg on DE)
The points have always been deducted the moment you hit the trigger -> then the bottle anim
So getting downed while still drinking, regardless of holding buttons you still get charged
As Chromastone10 said, this was the case in an earlier version of World At War, But I didn't realize/remember them updating the game so its as you use the trigger, my bad.
PS: I also kinda posted this while I was half-asleep so I was bound to derp somewhere

if player goes into laststand during drink process player waittill("burp"); will NOT be notified. if you go into laststand im pretty sure it returns before player notify("burp"); may cause issues with re buying perk. SEE: function vending_trigger_post_think( player, perk )
You could always add player zm_score::minus_to_player_score( the perk cost here ); in function vending_trigger_post_think( player, perk ) before player notify("burp"); this should work the same and you dont need player waittill("burp"); where you have it now.
OR
you could make it so it just gives points back if player goes down during drink process add a small code in mapname.gsc this way you dont need to edit perk script. something like this... EXAMPLE:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
function watchPlayersPerks() { level flag::wait_till( "initial_blackscreen_passed" ); players = GetPlayers(); for ( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ ) { players[i] thread watchPerksBought(); } }
function watchPerksBought() { self endon( "disconnect" ); self endon( "end_game" ); // self is player while(1) { self waittill( "perk_purchased", perk ); wait 0.1; while(isdefined(self.perk_purchased)) { IPrintLnBold("player is drinking"); // remove later wait 0.01; } // after perk is purchased see if player is down. if ( self laststand::player_is_in_laststand()) { if ( isdefined( level._custom_perks[ perk ] ) && isdefined( level._custom_perks[ perk ].cost ) ) { cost = level._custom_perks[ perk ].cost; self zm_score::add_to_player_score(cost); } } } }
