I'll get back to ya, thx.

=EDIT=

Tried it but it doesn't work.

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

Hee drof. I tried the delete(); thing but it doesn't work.
Any other sugestions ?

post up your full code (including the delete command) and I will see if I can find where things go wrong.

}

Too much maybe

To recap; I want the weapon, which the player leaves after picking up the spawnable one, to be deleted before respawning the spawnable one.

[Drofder2004]

Ok, theres a couple of things which I will point out but not solve yet as I need to look into it a bit further...

First.

Code: Select all

WeaponRespawner("weapons", 50);

As far as I am aware, "weapons" is not a valid targetname. Every weapon in the game, has its own targetname, and I am not sure 'weapons' can be used, but again, I need to look into it further.

Second.

Code: Select all

entity delete();

entity must refer to a entity, not literally be called entity. At the moment, the game will not understand what entity is. Entity must be directly related to something.

---
Could you please give me the name of the mod/map that contains the GSC so I can look at the full text and how they used it, it will certainly help me understand exactly how they reference the weapons.

entity must refer to a entity, not literally be called entity. At the moment, the game will not understand what entity is. Entity must be directly related to something.

That seems to be the problem, it has to refer to the weapon dropped by the player who picks up the spawnable weapon.

Code: Select all

WeaponRespawner("weapons", 50);

This works fine, weapon is respawned every 50 sec. And I used targetname weapon.

The map which uses this code is called "Fargo"

Here is the gsc of that map;

Code: Select all

main() 
{
	setExpFog(.00015, 0.03, .03, .03, 0);

	maps\mp\mp_fargo_fx::main(); 
	maps\mp\_load::main();

//Set background ambient noise
	ambientPlay("ambient_mp_fargo"); 

//Soldier Settings 
	game["allies"] = "american"; 
	game["axis"] = "german"; 
	game["attackers"] = "allies"; 
	game["defenders"] = "axis"; 
	game["american_soldiertype"] = "africa"; 
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "africa";

//Initialize the weapon respawner.
	WeaponRespawner("weapons", 60);
	WeaponRespawner("weapons_gunroom", 60);

	thread theDOORS(2);

}
	

theDOORS(howoften)
{
// set howoften to 2 for a 50/50 display or higher number for less often. 
   while(1)
   {
   for(d=0; d < 2; d++)
      {
      if(d == 0){
         doors = getentarray("door_move_x", "targetname");
         dir = "movex";
      }else{
         doors = getentarray("door_move_y", "targetname");
         dir = "movey";
      }
         if(doors.size > 0)
         {
            for(i=0; i < doors.size; i++)
            {
               this_num = randomint(howoften);
               if(this_num == 0)
               {
                  if(!isdefined(doors[i].isopen))

               }
            }
         }
      }
//   this_wait = randomint(4);
//   this_wait = (this_wait + 1) * 30;
//   iprintlnbold(this_wait);
//   wait (this_wait);
//   causes a random delay of 30, 60, 90, or 120 seconds

// Create multiplayer weapons in Radiant as follows:
// Create weapons in the 2d window with right click "weapons" and select a weapon with _mp at the end which is available in mp

// Optional: Set count to the number of weapons that spawn at a time, e.g. 3 for three grenades at once
// Optional: set script_timescale to the time in seconds between respawns

// In your main script include the below functions and place an initial call to the WeaponRespawner in the main routine of your map
// A typically call would be: "WeaponRespawner("weapons", 5);" that will manage all entities with targetname weapons and a default respawn delay of 5 seconds

There is a discription added to the GSC of that map, you tried that ?

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

you mean the discription in the gsc ?
I understand the discription but there is nothing in there (to my knowledge) for my problem
