AWP Armory To Scout

This plugin shores up a common hole in the other AWP restriction scripts. On maps like fy_iceworld, which have an AWP lying on the ground, it converts these AWPs to Scouts.

Code:

/*

 * This plugin converts AWP armoury_entities into Scout armoury_entities.

 *

 * Changelog

 * 1.2 Fixed an errant set_task, thanks VEN

 * 1.1 Added ML support

 * 1.0 Now changes the model when the AWP is still on the ground

 * 0.9 Added DEBUG compile directives and messages

 * 0.1 Original code version. Will not work on 1.70 Linux unless a slight

 * change is made in cstrike.h and then cstrike_amx_i386.soo is

 * recompiled.

 *     See http://www.amxmodx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27323

 */



#include <amxmodx>

#include <amxmisc>

#include <engine>

#include <cstrike>

Place eawp2scout.txt in you data/lang directory.

What it does:
Converts AWPs that spawn on the map into Scouts

What is does not do:
Prevent you from buying an awp
Make you drop the awp
Change an awp that you buy into a scout

I run a no awp server, and by combining this very simple plugin with the standard weapons restriction, I can completely eliminate the awp without any need for the more complex plugins that are available.

What about awp_map ?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

If you have this plugin enabled than any AWPs on the ground on awp_map will be converted to scouts.

If this is not what you want, you could not install this plugin, or you could disable the plugin for that map.

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

was just wondering what was the differnt btwn this plugin to this http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=1938 only thing change was that the awp spawn just chang eto a scoutz

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

Your plugin:
Only converts awps on ground, i believe the player could still buy an awp.

Other plugin:
Has to go through the process of dropping them down 2k untis to drop the awp, i don't know how that would look on the player's screen.

Both seem to have flaws. There is a way that would be most efficient to do everything we want with no bad effects. (force awp drop on pickup, delete awp entity, give scout). Make this plugin and I would personally guarentee an approval (if it were of good quality).

Unfortunately, as for this specific plugin, I will have to unnapprove it. If you want to do my idea, repost as a new plugin. If you need help PM Email or IM me.

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

I probably wouldn't make the plugin you describe because it would cause a money imbalance. If someone buys an awp, they spend more money than buying a scout, and then they have the awp dropped and a scout given. Isn't it just easier to use weapon restrict? It also creates a visual anomaly on the map. A player would see an awp laying on the ground, but they would pick up a scout. I have some regulars on my server who would notice that and complain. This plugin gets around that by replacing the entity and the world model.

There is also the instance where someone may want to eliminate awp armoury_entities but still allow players to buy. We play a few maps that only have buy zones in hard to reach places, so it is fun to not have any awps at the spawn but still have them buyable.

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

wow, you are right about that. I can completely see that advantage. Didn't think of it like that before..

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

lol chronic but nice plugin +karma

Re: AWP Armory To Scout

I know it is not the purpose of this plugin, but could you not refund the amount of money and change the weapon?
