Thread: RCON Force Weapon on the Fly

I use this script right now to force weapons on my server:


MikeTorso.St to exec weapontrade.scr

state RAISE_WEAPON
{
	movetype legs

	entrycommands
	{
		viewmodelanim pullout
		//exec player/player_raise.scr
		exec global/weapontrade.scr
		// just to make sure nothing funky's
		// attached that shouldn't be.
		correctweaponattachments
	}

weapontrade.scr to set the weapons allowed:

if (int(getcvar(brats_weapons)) == 1)
	{
		if(self.dmteam == "allies")
		{

and there are 10 different versions of the above script to give different guns based on the weapon you pick from the menu. Right now, I have to do an rcon restart for the changes to take effect. I'd like the changes to happen as soon as I change the "brats_weapons" variable via console. Also if there's any way to clean that script up, it might be worth it.. It doesn't give me any issues as is, but I'm sure Double will see a way to make it more efficient ;P

I'll try this right now...

exec from dmprecache and do the loop something like:

theloop:
while (1)
{
if (int(getcvar(brats_weapons)) == 1)
	{
...
}
if (int(getcvar(brats_weapons)) == 2)
	{
...
}
...
wait 5
}
end

Edit:

It works when it's looped (to give the player the weapon immediately without the need to restart the map), but when I exec from dmprecache the script does nothing, when I exec from miketorso.st it works fine... Only issue is, for example, if I force a rocket sometimes when scrolling to your next weapon (pistol or nade) the player will put the rocket away then pull the rocket back out. I think it's because the player is switching weapons when the loop is acting and the " self use local.weap" part of the script keeps telling the player to use the main weapon (rocket in this example). Is there a way around that?

I forgot to say you need to put in a for loop to check the player because self was for the states.

This way will work:

local.m1_garand = "models/weapons/m1_garand.tik"
local.springfield = "models/weapons/springfield.tik"
local.thompsonsmg = "models/weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
local.bar = "models/weapons/bar.tik"
local.bazooka = "models/weapons/bazooka.tik"
local.shotgun = "models/weapons/shotgun.tik"
local.kar98 = "models/weapons/kar98.tik"
local.kar98sniper = "models/weapons/kar98sniper.tik"
local.mp40 = "models/weapons/mp40.tik"
local.mp44 = "models/weapons/mp44.tik"
local.panzerschreck = "models/weapons/panzerschreck.tik"



while(1)
{
wait 0.02

	for(local.i = 1;local.i <= $player.size;local.i++)
	{

	local.player = $player[local.i]

		waitframe
		local.n = randomint 99999
		local.player weaponcommand dual targetname ("w" + local.n)
		local.weap = $("w" + local.n).model

		if (int(getcvar(brats_weapons)) == 1)
		{
			if(local.player.dmteam == "allies" && local.player.weapon != 1)
			{

				switch(local.weap)
				{
				case local.m1_garand:
				case local.springfield:
				case local.thompsonsmg:
				case local.bar:
				case local.bazooka:
				case local.shotgun:
										local.player give local.weap
										local.player use local.weap
										waitframe
										local.player give models/weapons/colt45.tik
										local.player give models/weapons/m2frag_grenade.tik
										local.player.weapon = 1
										break
				}


		}
		if(local.player.dmteam == "axis" && local.player.weapon != 2)
		{

				switch(local.weap)
				{
				case local.kar98:
				case local.kar98sniper:
				case local.mp40:
				case local.mp44:
				case local.panzerschreck:
				case local.shotgun:
											local.player give local.weap

											waitframe
