  Forcing an actor to only use a certain weaponThis weapon already cannot be destroyed, so making new ones isn't a problem, by the way. I've tried messing with inventory-changing methods from LuaDocs/Actor on the temporary wiki to no avail... But I'm sure this has been done before. How do you do it?

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon Why don't you just set Charheight to 0 or below and just have him unable to pick up weapons?
There's probably a Lua way to do the same thing (pickup disabling) if that's not possible. |

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon I'd actually like it to say a message (something like "I can't use that!") each time he tries to pick up a different weapon or drop his weapon. This is tough...

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false);
Add this line in update function. |

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon Code: if self:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP) self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false); *your message* end What is "message"? Screen text? Or sound? (Something like "beep" error signal?) |

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon I'm making a campaign. It's the yellow screen text.

Re: Forcing an actor to only use a certain weapon Code: if self:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP) self:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_PICKUP, false); FrameMan:SetScreenText("Your message", Activity.PLAYER_1, 0, 2000, true); end Then it looks like that. I'm not sure about parameters. Look here: http://drlwiki.thebunny.info/wiki/index ... ScreenText (temp wiki limk) Quote: SetScreenText Sets the message to be displayed on top of each player's screen Arguments: * An std::string that specifies what should be displayed. * Which screen you want to set text to. * The interval with which the screen will be blinking, in ms. 0 means no blinking. * The duration, in MS to force this message to display. No other message can be displayed before this expires. ClearScreenText overrides it though. * Vertically centered on the screen Return value:None. |
