Spawn without weapons?

(baltar47970) #1

Is it possible to make players spawn without weapons, or weapons they cant use untill a trigger is switched? I’ve looked at MOHAA but there stuff is coded in the game itself, I then looked into COD2’s lib mod where when you are in jail you are doing the bomb plant motion but once again it is hard coded in the mod.looking for an easier metod then making a mod? Any idea’s greatly appreciated.
Thank you Baltar

with ‘without weapons’ do you mean only knife and things like mines, pliers etc?
So no SMG or pistol?

I don’t think it’s possible, but you could try to take ammo from players.
Again I don’t think this will work, but you could try a trigger_ammo (i believe it’s called that.)

A trigger_ammo usually gives players a specified value of ammo.
If you set this value to a negative number you MIGHT be able to take ammo from them… I doubt it though…

Other than that I see no other way.

It’d be tricky to make it spawnpoint specific, but you could do it using ETPro LUA scripts.

Well it will be in TCE? Taking a break from it a day or so come back to it with fresh eyes. Thanks

Did you try my suggestion? Curious to know if it will work… And since I don’t have ET anymore I can’t try :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL!!! It takes away your ammo for your main weapon, but doesnt take the rest of the bullets… So you would have a pistol with full and a thompson with 30 bullets… But, it does accutally take away the ammo.

And it keep saying “Picked up an Ammo Pack” and you get the sound of when you pick it up…

EDIT: Doesnt work with panzers, only after you’ve shot one shot, and the same way with the pistol…

EDIT 2: AHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA, now I’m running around with my weapons, but no ammo, and the weapons wont disappear…

EDIT 3: Clicky and turn down your sound… It has really bad sounds…

Broli I tried and it didnt work. could you tell me what you did. I created a trigger the size and shape of my jail cell and made it a trigger_ammo ammorate -1 ammototal 0. Glad that it works just need to get it working. If this works then I should be able to get them to go thru a space on there way out of the jail that will give them there ammo back. This is for a jail break map I want it to spawn with weapons and when you die you respawn in your jail, I dont want the people in jail to be able to kill people outside of the jail and dont want the people inside the jail tk’ing while waiting for there teammates to come free them.

Set Ammototal to -1 and try just setting the trigger under the Team_CTF_Bluespawn and Team_CTF_Redspawn…

TCE does not support ammo stands/crates. Its more like CS, you spawn with all you need and its enough for 1 round. I doubt that it will have such functionality as ammo stands. Unless the authors just didnt bother to cut it out from original ET.

After playing around I sort of got it to wor a little. I took the ammo cabnet from goldrush and made the changes and it will take it away but only after you reload and touch it. and only for recon on primary weapon. it will suck secondary ammo after a reload also. Wierd. I suck at this but learning.
Thanks for all your input and future help.
