Figured we could use one instead of spawning a topic for every little thing. To start us off, I'm looking to restrict the player drop zones; how would I move any rocket or dropship on my team to a specified area (if not already there)?

Cover the map top with that and you should be done.

Also how do you give velocity to the weapon the actor is currently holding?

So this way we can force people to use the landing pads in my maps? This stuff rocks.

Thought you'd enjoy that one as well, Gotcha. Thanks for the help, Roon. Is there a way to set up an 'If not' trigger so we don't have to cover the top of the map?

Edit: I don't think we have control over individual items yet. (:() Someone could probably tell you how to make all weapons going flying across the room, though.

I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I am pretty sure that there is MovableMan.HeldDevices or something of the sort.

You betcha. With all this new stuff to add I'll even have to hire new staff to help me out.

Would it be possible to allow actors to pick up explosives this way?

I was thinking something along the lines of 'Actor picks up Weapon, which activates script that destroys the weapon while adding the actual explosive to the actor's inventory'.

Someone should make a lua Landmine, like a butterfly mine or just something simple like a pressure sensitive type. That would be tight, I'm still reading up on Lua but I should get there soon.

Someone should make a spaceship mission that has 0 gravity, but the inside of the ship uses lua to simulate artificial gravity. They go away after destroying the reactor9which is the mission objective). After that, you have to get to the escape pod room and escape(I have no idea if lua can replace actors with other actors).

that's intense

Could someone help me remove a helddevice from an actor's inventory?

Right now, I've got

objective is the HeldDevice. As is, I get the following in the console when the if conditions are met.

Your problem there is that the function RemoveItem doesn't actually exist. Try gibbing the helditem.
We could make a weapon stripper outside the enemy base in a campaign. Just like Half Life 2!

Heh, first loop through all the weapons and make them forcefully drop and them gib them right away. Although what would be funny if someone was carrying a powerful plasma cannon with a fragile energy cell that is ment to explode if an enemy hits there (a character flaw, you know.) and if someone unfortunate carrying that or a bomb, he's gone for good.

Maybe theres a Delete() function that would simply make the gun go "poof"?

Ok lua isn't so bad afterall!

How would I select it in order to gib it though?
