| Post subject: | Randomized Weapon upon Buying |
Alright, I have a plethora of theoretically hypothetical weapons. To have them all be individually buyable would be horrendous for the buy menu. The plan is to have weapon cases be the way to obtain some of these weapons. Upon purchasing the cases and the unit leaves whatever shuttle they were carried in on, the cases are replaced with a single, random weapon from a small database of possible choices. The only prerequisite I can think of, aside from being Lua attached to an HDFirearm, would be easy editing of the database. Thanks in advance |

There's a mod like that, I think. Here you go. viewtopic.php?f=61&t=31852 |

Sounds like a few tables, and a few random selectors. Someone brief him on this, I think Weegee uses this extensibly in his scenes for unit generation/archetypes. |

It's a pretty simple task, really. Just have all your weapons premade in the ini. Code: function Create(self) self.randPistol = {"","",""} -- Pistol preset names here self.pistol = CreateHDfirearm(self.randomPistol[math.random(#self.randomPistol)]) self.pistol.Pos = self.Pos MovableMan:AddParticle(self.pistol) self.ToDelete = true end Script isn't entirely accurate and theres a few kinks and bugs in it but it gives the idea of the concept. |

I appreciate you lending the time, and I can confirm it works after fixing a few errors. I'm not sure if it was intended or not, but after a few tries, it seems the weapon never enters the actor's hands after switching to the case. This, unfortunately, isn't ideal for reasons mostly regarding physics. |

Yeah, this just creates a weapon at the position of the case. What you need is to check if it is held and if it is then replace the case with a weapon in the actors inventory. |

I really wouldn't know where to start. I know the forum gets this often, but there are people who have a head for code and I'm not one of them. |

Cave Cricket uses something that reads the Actor's inventory, I guess it's the Repair Kit. |

Foa, if I recall correctly scripts are only actually run on a weapon while it's selected, so you can't run scripts from an actor's inventory. Thus trying to cycle through the actor's inventory wouldn't accomplish anything. That said, the trick to it is to make a dummy object that you start and end at so you can catalogue the actor's entire inventory for, in the case you mentioned, reproduction. Anyway, asides aside, try this. It's been a while and I'm kind of fuzzy on CC lua things now so it may not work right off the bat. Post error text if you get any. |

That's the one thing I remember, it created an actor that had x weapons up to a count of 30, and it had problems with overlapping names, like the Coalition Shotgun, and the Base.rte Shotgun, there was some point it was resolved, but now it is unresolved now. Also, double slashes are for ini comments, double hyphens are for lua comments. |

Now it says: Code: ERROR: no overload of 'MovableManager:AddParticle' matched the arguments (MovableManager, nil) candidates are: MovableManager:AddParticle(MovableManager, MovableObject) |

Code: if self.parent ~= nil then //If we have a parent then add the gun to his inventory self.parent.AddInventoryItem(self.pistol); self.ToDelete = true elseif self.parent == nil and self.Age > 1000 //Otherwise, after a second delay to double check if we have a parent, just add the pistol to the map. self.pistol.Pos = self.Pos MovableMan:AddParticle(self.Pistol) <<------------------------------------------<< self.ToDelete = true end Shouldn't be capitalized. |

And sorry about that Xavier (also, sorry for the sloppiness of this, I made way too many errors for something so simple), change the line that says MovableMan:AddInventoryItem(self.pistol) to MovableMan:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm(self.pistol)); |
