Help How to store a weapon so you spawn with it?

[koil]

setspawnweapon didnt seem to work? does it work and i just done it wrong or?

is there a way to do it with a variable?

[Pozzuh]

The function works. It probably doesn't work because _class.gsc::giveLoadout() overwrites it. Try to use the giveLoadout() function to give weapons

edit: In _globallogic_spawn:pawnPlayer() giveloadout get's called. Try to edit that...

[koil]

could you give an example of how giveloadout works? ive never heard of it before & cant find crap on google

[d0h!]

Code:

giveLoadout( team, class ) { self takeAllWeapons(); /* if ( level.splitscreen ) primaryIndex = 0; else primaryIndex = self.pers["primary"]; */ primaryIndex = 0; // initialize specialty array self.specialty = []; primaryWeapon = undefined; // ============= custom class selected ============== if( isSubstr( class, "CLASS_CUSTOM" ) ) { // gets custom class data from stat bytes self cac_getdata(); // obtains the custom class number class_num = int( class[class.size-1] )-1; self.class_num = class_num; assertex( isdefined( self.custom_class[class_num]["primary"] ), "Custom class "+class_num+": primary weapon setting missing" ); assertex( isdefined( self.custom_class[class_num]["secondary"] ), "Custom class "+class_num+": secondary weapon setting missing" ); assertex( isdefined( self.custom_class[class_num]["specialty1"] ), "Custom class "+class_num+": specialty1 setting missing" ); assertex( isdefined( self.custom_class[class_num]["specialty2"] ), "Custom class "+class_num+": specialty2 setting missing" ); assertex( isdefined( self.custom_class[class_num]["specialty3"] ), "Custom class "+class_num+": specialty3 setting missing" ); // clear of specialty slots, repopulate the current selected class' setup self reset_specialty_slots( class_num ); self get_specialtydata( class_num, "specialty1" ); self get_specialtydata( class_num, "specialty2" ); self get_specialtydata( class_num, "specialty3" ); // set re-register perks to code self register_perks(); // at this stage, the specialties are loaded into the correct weapon slots, and special slots // weapon override for round based gametypes // TODO: if they switched to a sidearm, we shouldn't give them that as their primary!

i meant to store a premade class, i already read that, thanks for melting my head again though.

im guna be here a week :x




could i just set the guns selected to a variable when selected then have them given to me on spawn after a second or something? and give an example?


soz sorta new to this, only been modding a week.

You can edit classes in the Private Match settings, so you can also edit them with GSC files. I remember Eekhoorn used this for his early cmMOD versions.

i got it working with variables, thanks guys.

---

ok i ran into a problem, when i save the variable like this in the menu

if( response == "give_asp" )
{
self thread takepistols();
self giveWeapon( "asp_mp" );
self switchToWeapon( "asp_mp" );
level.pistol = "asp_mp";
}


then on spawn i have...

if( level.pistol != undefined) {
self thread takepistols();
self giveweapon( level.pistol );
self switchtoweapon( level.pistol );
}

It seems to only store it if i die, like run off and kill myself, though, if the round switches in SND the variable is no longer stored, why is that?

[iAegle]

else if( response == "give_asp" )
{
self thread takepistols();
self giveWeapon( "asp_mp" );
self switchToWeapon( "asp_mp" );
self.pers["mod_pistol"] = "asp_mp";
}

then use

Code:

self giveWeapon( self.pers["mod_pistol"] );

[koil]

thanks.. ill try it out..

[iAegle]

If it doesn't work, then try this:

Code:

game["mod_pistol"] = "asp_mp";

Otherwise

Code:

setDvar( "mod_pistol", "asp_mp" );

Code:

self giveWeapon( getDvar( "mod_pistol" ) );
