Using a trigger to get ammo 0

Hello all.
At the moment am working on my new map. Its not a jump map.
My problem is, I wanna make a part in the map, where you only can use knife, so I want to set ammo to 0 on primary and secondary weapon. The things I tried did not work. I hope someone can help me here.
Code: Select all
ammotouch()
{
noammo = getentarray( "noammo", "targetname" );
for( lp=0; lp < noammo.size; lp++ )
noammo[lp] thread knifeonly();
}
knifeonly()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill( "trigger", other );
other setweaponslotammo("primary", 0);
}
}
It says "
unknown command other setweaponslotammo("primary", 0);"
So.. what is wrong? Or how I can get it working?
Thanks
Oi!mel

setweaponammoclip(<gun>, <#>)
setweaponammostock
clip - whats currently in the gun.
stock - what is left to reload.
<gun> is the name of the gun, i.e. "m16"
<#> is count.

With setweaponammostock it says bad syntax, without it says:
hmm.. do you know what to do now?

" "
m16 should be enclosed as a string, not an object.
other setweaponammostock("m16", 0);

hmm. So when I touch the trigger nothing is happening.
This is my actuall script:
Code: Select all
ammotouch()
{
noammo = getentarray( "noammo", "targetname" );
for( lp=0; lp < noammo.size; lp++ )
noammo[lp] thread knifeonly();
}
knifeonly()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill( "trigger", other );
setweaponammoclip("m16", 0);
setweaponammostock("m16", 0);
}
}

We don't have to do it this way. Is there another way to get knife only?

No.
You forgot the 'other'
Your script has not got a defined entity to call the functions on, so you are simply calling the function on the level itself. And obviosuly the level doesn't have a gun...
Review your "knifeonly" function, you will notice the difference between my last post and your code.

hu? In my script there is the 'other'. Nothing happens when I touch the trigger. Just to test I've used SetMoveSpeedScale( 0.1 ); and it worked. But the ammo doesn't change while touching the trigger.

You NEED "other" infront of these two (see bold in quote)
If you do not declare an entity for the thread to be called on, then the game defaults to the 'level' entity.
So, you are currently removing ammo from the guns of a non-playing entity.
Also, are you actually using the m16 gun? This will not remove the ammo from the primary gun, but only the 'm16' if the player is carrying it...

sorry if im writing not clearly, my english is bad.
I ment that I got the 'others' in the script how you wrote it here.
Code: Select all
knifeonly()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill( "trigger", other );
other setweaponammoclip("m16", 0);
other setweaponammostock("m16", 0);
}
}
Also, are you actually using the m16 gun? This will not remove the ammo from the primary gun, but only the 'm16' if the player is carrying it...
How can i get the primary gun?
other setweaponammoclip("primary", 0);?
When im using the m16 my ammo is normal... not 0.
Thanks for your help so far.

sorry, you need to add _mp
so, m16_mp.

To simplify things, you could just take all their weapons away?

Hey, thanks. Now I get ammo 0. But one problem stays. The shots in the current magazine are still there. So you can shot 30 times befor its knife only. hmm. Do you know how to fix it?
