Can someone please write me two scripts

The first one i need is to make a missile fly in random dirrection (in mid air it will curve in different directions)

And the second one i need is a script for a weapon where i can specify which actor can hold it, if he can't then the weapon is instantly dropped from his inventory.

The first one you can do it using .ini. Just give spread to the particles that pushes the emitter (rocket).

The second one isn't hard, but I haven't got any reliable methods for checking the parent, so this might simply result laggy:

Code:
function Create(self)
self.ActorThatCanHoldThisWeapon = "Name of the Actor that can hold the weapon"
self.parent = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID)
end

function Update(self)

      if self.parent == nil or self.parent.ClassName ~= "AHuman" then   
      self.parent = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID)
   end   
   if self.parent.PresetName ~= MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID).PresetName or self.parent.ClassName ~= "AHuman" then
      self.parent = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID)
   end

if self.parent.PresetName ~= self.ActorThatCanHoldThisWeapon then
    self.parent:SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true)
end
end


It probably won't work, my CC lua is pretty rusty.

1) Not what i was aiming to get, but it will do for now, maybe with some tweaking i can get it just right.

2) Just like you said, the script does not work :-(

Try changing the 3rd last line to
self.parent:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true);

Everything else seems okay on a cursory glance, though it could probably be streamlined a bit to use 2 if statements instead of 3.

In both cases this line seems causing some errors.

Change
Code:
self.parent:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true);

to
Code:
ToActor(self.parent):GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true);

It worked, but it floods the console with this mesage now, i'm afraid if i will place multiple weapons on a map it will produce massive lag.

BTW i was wondering how to make this weapon availiable to multiple units do i just write "self.ActorThatCanHoldThisWeapon = "Unit1"; "Unit2"; "Unit3"" ?
And making a message popup when units that cant use it tries to pick it up, something like "Wrong unit class".

Code:
function Create(self)

   self.permittedUsers = {};
   self.permittedUsers[1] = "Dummy";
   self.permittedUsers[2] = "Browncoat Light";
   self.permittedUsers[3] = "Crab";
   -- You get the idea

end

function Update(self)

   if self.RootID ~= self.ID then
      local actor = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID);
      if MovableMan:IsActor(actor) then
         local isPermitted = false;
         for i = 1, #self.permittedUsers do
            if actor.PresetName == self.permittedUsers[i] then
               isPermitted = true;
               break;
            end
         end
         if not isPermitted then
            ToActor(actor):GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true);
            if ToActor(actor):IsPlayerControlled() then
               local parentPlayer = ToActor(actor):GetController().Player;
               FrameMan:ClearScreenText(parentPlayer);
               FrameMan:SetScreenText("YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THIS ITEM!",parentPlayer,0,2,true);
            end
         end
      end
   end

end
