addin weapons Created 19 years ago2004-07-11 00:07:15 UTC by ragnarok

hi everyone. i was jus wondering how you whould make it so in my map there are already guns on floor for the players to pick up. im making an aim_ map right now and thats all that i have to do still. thanks for the help guys

armoury_entity.

how do i make it so its got usp's and glocks

You can only place the weapons that it specifies. So, unless the usp and glock are listed, you can't.

aww in this one map aim_map_usp it had it so evey person had a usp. i think they did it by having the usps fall above the players and they automaticly picked em up. do you know how to do that?

Should work if you go into advanced mode and add one that says weapon_usp or weapon_glock18 then the pistols should be there

how do i go in advance mode?

theres a button for it on the properties menu

Ah, that's right. Just click the smartedit button and then you can input weapon_usp or weapon_glock18. Or, you could rewrite the FGD file to handle extra weapons.

i dont see it. all i see in the properties box is:
tabs:
class info
flags
VisGroup

inside class info:
class (armory_entity)
atributes (item, count)
a button called smart edit
angle

and thats it

so for value id just put "weapon_usp" or "weapon_glock18"

In the properties box, just click in the little drop down window for the weapon selection, delete anything there, and type weapon_usp or glock18. Ignore any "unused keyvalues" errors you may get.

this is what i did:
weapon_mp5 was in the box so i deleted that and typed in weapon_usp right then i compiled and all that went into the game and it was still an mp5

Weird

Then it doesn't work.

noobs..

any fool could have told you that

to equip pistols when you start you need either numerous trigger_once entities or a multi_manager set up

to input the name of a pistol you turn Smart Edit OFF and click add, the key is : weapon_pistol name, value is amount of clips that come with the gun.

the amount of times i've typed this is insane, one more time, the LAST TIME

entities:
multi_manager
player_weaponstrip
game_playerequip

name the multi_manager game_playerspawn
add new keys like strip, pistol
name the weaponstrip entity strip (or anything that corresponds with your multi_manager)
name the playerequip pistol, and set it's values thusly:
give knife : yes
item kevlar: yes/no .. your choice, always fun without
then turn off smart edit and add a new key of:
key: (depending on what pistol:) weapon_usp/weapon_glock18/weapon_deagle/weapon_fiveseven/weapon_elites/weapon_p228
value: 1 - 10 (higher number gives max ammo, generally speaking)

with the game_playerequip you can give all three nades as well. also you can equip the player with more than one pistol, but beware, don't go nuts or you will have a buggy map. two pistols works nicely, any more and you'd better have a stable entity set up or be prepared for some crashes

ps.

the values in the multi_manager for the strip/pistol keys' need to be something like 0.1 for strip, then 0.2 for pistol. you must strip before you equip
