W@W: Making player spawn with a custom default class.

[koil]

this is on W@W mind you, but I am guessing it works in a similar way, though the CAC DISABLE dvar doesnt do the job.

Basically I want to set a default class so the player spawns, then change its weapons.

[DidUknowiPwn]

Why not OnPlayerConnect select the menu for choose class -> default class -> OnPlayerSpawned -> Take all weapons -> Give weapons ??

[Pozzuh]

I believe the default loadout can be changed in one of the .csv files.

[koil]

i dont want them to have to choose a default class..


and pozz, its not that i dont want them to have a specific default class, its the fact that they just dont spawn until they choose one in the menu.

"Basically I want to set a default class so the player spawns, then change its weapons."
so you want to change the classtable.csv? (Well that's the name for it in MW2)

[Pozzuh]

Just edit the gsc files that are used to open the menus.. Or edit the menus themselves.

[koil]

yeah i guess ill try using the script responses from default classes and see how it go's if there is no replys when i get up, thanks pozzuh

[koil]

shouldnt

scriptMenuResponse "specops_mp,0";
scriptMenuResponse "open_gunmenu";


work? it doesnt seem to spawn me.

[Pozzuh]

You probably need another scriptMenuResponse after that, to actually spawn you. You can probably find it in _menus.gsc.

yah i looked for that, there is no spawn onmenuresponses in there.. which is confusing ; /
