I didn't know I wanted this, but I do. Fantastic stuff, +1. 

Another cool script man

It's nice your sharing the cool stuff from orbit

I envy your ability to script so well. I could see myself doing something cool with a hazmat suit and a hud for an EE. Excellent work! +1

SWAP SUITS

script and prefabs, no models

This script allows you to add suits/player models you can grab off the wall, and take them off or swap them around. This does not come with models, or go over how to get viewmodels, or other models into your map, or how to rig player models. The body model used must be rigged for the player. The script has options to set view models and alternative huds per suit.

Included is instructions, script, and 4 different suit prefabs, with the player zombie models used as placeholders.

If you want to give a suit a feature, you can check player.suit var for the suit the player has on. For example, before doing damage to the player, add if(player.suit!="suit0") .... meaning this would only continue if they didn't have that suit on. Hit me up with any questions.

I keep getting a bad syntax error when I says what view hands and model I want  It doesnt like the that line of code but I could be doing something wrong

What Scobalula said.

And I can also send you a new script if you want, where I modified how you setup the viewmodels and hud, which may be easier. Now its just one line per type of suit instead of multiple, and I added functions that get called when you put the suit on, and tweaked some things.

Okay just send me the newer version as its probably better to use that version

Alright, I should be able to tonight. Its probably a simple fix though if you just post what you added in the script or maybe how its being called or something like that. Syntax errors are pretty easy. And the new script doesn't work any differently really, just listing vars horizontally in a call to a function instead of vertically populated the array.

Its in the spoiler

Used developer 1 to find out what was causing the error and the lines with a * are what kept appearing in the error

Your just missing the ; at the end of each of these lines:

level.suits["suit0"]["viewarms"] = "viewmodel_zom_pressure_suit_arms"

Edit: also, you only need to do one suit. I gave 4 possibly different suits in prefabs, and I can see how that could be confusing, but you can copy just the suit0 prefab 3 more times and don't need to do anything to suits 1, 2, or 3 unless your adding more types of suits.

So spacesuit, suit0, if you make another suit type like the gas mask guy, suit1, another type like halo, suit2 and so on. Then copy the prefabs as many times as you like.

In this case:

   level.suits["suit0"]=[];
   level.suits["suit0"]["viewarms"] = "viewmodel_zom_pressure_suit_arms";
   level.suits["suit0"]["hud"] = undefined;//The shader for this suit

   //2nd suit
   level.suits["suit1"]=[];
   level.suits["suit1"]["viewarms"] = undefined;
