Automatic weapon add script

[XeloX]

Dear community,
I am in the process of making my 2nd map.
What i want added to this map is the following script, I want to make a script that gives me a certain weapon whenever i enter my map.
This should be based on my GUID.
I have experimented and failed before so if anybody can create such a script please help me!

With regards,

Wait till a player connects. When he does, check his GUID with your own. If there's a match, give that player the weapon you want. Simple.

Well, im rather new to scripting.. i totally understand that part, but how do i go about doing this lol

Code: Select all

     
onPlayerConnect()
{
   for(;;)
   {
      level waittill("connected", player);
      player thread onPlayerSpawned();
   }
}
     
onPlayerSpawned()
{
   for(;;)
   {
      self waittill("spawned_player");
      if(self getGuid() == "****************************")//Guid Here!
      iprintlnbold("onplayerspawned ^2activated");
      {
         self thread xelox();
      }
   }
}

xelox()
{
   self iprintlnbold("Xelox ^2Activated");
   self giveweapon();
}

giveWeapon()
{
   wait 0.05;
   iprintlnbold("wep give ^2Activated"); 
   if(self HasWeapon("remington700_mp"))
      {
        self giveWeapon( "m40a3_mp", 1, false );
        self giveMaxammo("m40a3_mp");
	iprintln("does it workz?"); 
      }
}

that is what i have so far, well..
(dont laugh please)

Found out that all parts get activated but it does not give a weapon,
Would this mean this part is wrong?

Code: Select all

giveWeapon()
{
   wait 0.05;
   iprintlnbold("wep give ^2Activated"); 
   if(self HasWeapon("remington700_mp"))
      {
        self giveWeapon( "m40a3_mp", 1, false );
        self giveMaxammo("m40a3_mp");
	iprintln("does it workz?"); 
      }
}

meh you give gun on entering server
try a self waittil("spawned") or somthing (search some .gsc files for waittils for more info, and some notifies to see where it does give weap)

Also: add a for(;;) loop around it, so it just gives you weapon every spawn

I can code it for you, add me to xfire: imbackagainiba

self giveweapon();

why did u overwrite the stock function 'giveWeapon()'? give it a different name.

Code: Select all

onPlayerConnect()
{
   for(;;)
   {
      level waittill("connected", player);
      player thread onPlayerSpawned();
   }
}
     
onPlayerSpawned()
{
   for(;;)
   {
      self waittill("spawned_player");
      if(self getGuid() == "****************************")//Guid Here!
      iprintlnbold("onplayerspawned ^2activated");
      {
         self thread xelox();
      }
   }
}

xelox()
{
   self iprintlnbold("Xelox ^2Activated");
   self giveWeap(); // Changes function name, there's already a built-int function with the same name
}

giveWeap() // Here's YOUR function
{
   wait 0.05;
   iprintlnbold("wep give ^2Activated");
   if(!self HasWeapon("remington700_mp")) // You will only get an M40A3 if you already have an R700. Do you? If not, write this
      {
        self giveWeapon( "m40a3_mp");
        self giveMaxammo("m40a3_mp");
        wait 0.1;
        self switchToWeapon("m40a3_mp"); // Switches to the m40a3, so you know you have it.
   iprintln("does it workz?");
      }
}

thanks, i got it working!

you sir, are a legend

[Nekoneko]

Code: Select all

      if(self getGuid() == "****************************")//Guid Here!
      iprintlnbold("onplayerspawned ^2activated");
      {
         self thread xelox();
      }

im very new to scripting and tbh dont have much clue what everything means, but shouldnt it be like this?

Code: Select all

      if(self getGuid() == "****************************")//Guid Here!
      {
         self thread xelox();
      }
      iprintlnbold("onplayerspawned ^2activated");

[Nekoneko]

Btw.
I tested this myself and i cant get the getGuid() function to work.
if i have
MyGuid = self getGuid();
iprintln(MyGuid);
it shows as blank.
Why wont the function work

[Nekoneko]

Ah ok sorry then.
So it wont work on a test-map when i click on run selected map.
It needs to be running on a server.

if i have
MyGuid = self getGuid();
iprintln(MyGuid);

The problem may lie when you write 'self'. 'self' refers to what entity you called the function on (I made this mistake when I first learnt). For example, if I had:

Code: Select all

for(;;)
{
     level waittill("connected", player);
     player thread printGUID(); // Runs the 'printGUID' function on the player
}
printGUID()
{
     myGuid = self getGuid(); // You can now start referring to 'player' as 'self'
     self iprintln(myGuid);
}

Also, Xelox's code above, I did forget about that part you pointed out, and you we're right, except that the iprintln statement should be within the if block

[Nekoneko]

Sorry for being so noob, but it still doesnt work..

Running printguid on player still keeps it blank.
Would it work on a server, if so then its fine.

[Opel]

It would work on a server, its just not showing because it's a local server your running. Put it on a dedi server and it will show.

[iCYsoldier]

Ah ok, I just tested what I wrote and it didn't work Yeh, it should work in a public server
