game_player_equip crash Created 15 years ago2009-02-27 17:35:31 UTC by nik_cool22

Ive got a problem with game_player_equip. I am trying to make a crate spawn some objects by triggering a game_player equip when it breaks. In gameplay when i break the crate the game crashes.
Whats wrong and how do i fix it???

the game_player_equip got these keyvalues:
targetname-gameplayerequip
weapon_shotgun-15
weapon_hornetgun-1
weapon_357-10

Yeah try it. some entities are only triggerable with that flag checked, though i don't have any experience with this entity. (I read the enity guide and it looks like you set it up corretly)

You can also try the forum search and possibly an example map in the map vault

func_breakable has a "Spawn on break" if I remember correctly, use that to set whatever weapon should spawn when it breaks.

gpe doesn't seem to work with func_breakable, although it seems to work perfectly fine with "trigger_"-entities. (don't forget to check the "Use only" flag in the gpe)

i know that it has a "spawn on break" but i cant use that if i want it to spawn more than one thing. Ive done what captain terror said but i didnt find anything that could help me. Even when i do check the 'use only' flag it still crashes the game.

Try a monstermaker in the box that gets triggered after you destroy it. Set it's 'monster to spawn' to weapon_shotgun. make another for everything you want to spawn, including ammo.

ill try that...

it didnt work...

Create a trigger (e.g. trigger_multiple) inside the func_breakable (make sure people can't reach it while the box is still solid), set the trigger_multiple to trigger the gpe (don't forget to check the "Use only"-flag in the gpe).

trigger_once, unless the box respawns.

Try putting your map in the Problem Maps section. Someone will figure it out... I might take a look too = )

ive finally figured out what to do the problem is solved but ill never find out how to use game_player_equip in a singleplayer map...

What? what was the problem?

well i know that a game_player_equip gives the item that triggers it the weapon. So if a box triggers the equip, the game will equip the box with the weapon. Which doesn't happen.

i didnt fix the problem. i just placed some weapons inside the crate.

I think using the monstermaker entity for this is the best way to get what you want.

It really does work, provided that you set it up correctly, which i think you did'nt...
