Thread: Weapon Check - Results in NULL Help

Simply do this

Code:

local.weapon targetname ""

local.weapon targetname ""

Still resulting in script error

Script Error: command 'targetname' applied to NIL

Yea i dnt no the difference between NIL and NULL i read it somewhere but forget it or i didnt quite understand it

Taken from another forum....

Assuming we're talking about Objetive-C:

nil (all lower-case) is a null pointer to an Objective-C object.
Nil (capitalized) is a null pointer to an Objective-C class.
NULL (all caps) is a null pointer to anything else.

So, conceptually, they mean the same thing but for different categories of things. They all have the same representation, too; they all happen to have the numeric value of 0.

It means getactiveweap returned nothing.

I should add Im using the

local.player weaponcommand dual targetname ("weap" + local.player.entnum )
local.player.weapon = $("weap" + local.player.entnum ).model

Method to check weapon

Actually it means there's nothing stored in local.weapon variable.

It would be great if I actually knew what you were using at the occurrence of the error but try this:

Code:

while (local.player && !local.weapon) {
    local.player weaponcommand dual targetname ("weap" + local.player.entnum )
    local.weapon = $("weap" + local.player.entnum)
    waitframe
}
local.player.weapon = local.weapon.model
local.player iprint ("am now holding weapon " + local.player.weapon)

Here is the weapon check part of it

Code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////////// Weapon Check Part ///////////////////////////

if(local.player != NULL && local.player != NIL && isAlive(local.player) && local.player.dmteam != spectator)

{
		local.player weaponcommand dual targetname ("weap" + local.player.entnum )
		local.player.weapon = $("weap" + local.player.entnum ).model
		
		if(local.player.weapon != NIL && local.player.weapon != NULL)
		
		{
				for (local.i = 1; local.i <= local.notallowed.size; local.i++) 
				{
					   if(local.player.weapon == local.notallowed[local.i])
						{	
								local.player take local.notallowed[local.i]
								if(getcvar(pe_weapon_choice) != "1")
								{ 
								local.player give models/weapons/KAR98sniper.tik
								local.player use models/weapons/KAR98sniper.tik
								}
								if(getcvar(pe_weapon_choice) == "1")
								{
								local.player spectator
								local.player stufftext "pushmenu SelectPrimaryWeapon"
								}
								if(getcvar(pe_weapon_message) == "1") 
												{
													local.player iprint ("The Weapon you chose is unavailable") 1
													local.player iprint (local.allowed) 1
													//local.player iprint ("So here is a Sniper") 1	
												}
								
								
						}		
					 
								
				}
		}
}

local.notallowed is where the weapon models are stored which is altered via cvars , but that works . It all works i just dnt see why i need to add the
local.player.weapon targetname ""

EDIT :: Just tested it on my server will a few people and it works perfectly and producing same errors but still works fine
