Hi,

For some reason i would like to be able to let players spawn without a weapon.

does anyone have any idea?

thnx,

nolman

You can try disabling the weapon. It might work. Or just restrict the weapons. However, what is the point of spawning with no weapon? What are you going to do? Just run around doing nothing? :D

Well, we would like to do a little showcase of our map,
(a 3d version an existing big old building that was turned into an artcentre) to some people who wouldn't necessarely need a weapon to walk around :)

I tried to look for options in all the script files to disable the weapons
but couldn't find anything that worked.

How would you disable or "restrict" the weapons?

thnx,
nolman

If this is MP then a simple script should suffice:

disableAllWeapons()
{
   level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connecting", player);
        player thread onPlayerSpawned();
    }
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned");

        self disableWeapon();
    }
}

You will need to thread the disableAllWeapons() function from your main level gsc.

The player may be able to get around this by picking a different weapon immediately after they have spawned, but I haven't checked that.

Hi,
thanks for the reply,

i used self disableWeapons();
without the "s" I get a script error.
and that works, but after the countdown the weapon returns.
any idea ?

grtz,

Give this a try - it runs the disable command in a loop.

disableAllWeapons()
{
   level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connecting", player);
        player thread onPlayerSpawned();
    }
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned");

        self thread keepweapondisabled();
    }
}

keepweapondisabled()
{
   self endon("killed_player");
   self endon("disconnect");
   
   self notify("killweapondisable");
   
   self endon("killweapondisable");
   
   while(1)
   {
      self disableWeapons();
      
      wait 1;
   }
}
