[REQ-TF2] Give/Equip player flare gun

Im making pyro-paintball map.
One problem that I cant solve in map editor is giving weapons - thats impossible to do.
Not every player have Flare Gun in his inventory (because its Unlockable weapon).
Can anyone write simple plugin for me? My scripting skills are too low to write this plugin.

I dont know how it works with tf2items extension, but I want something like this:

When player is spawning:
- plugin is giving (equpping) him TF_Weapon_FlareGun
- plugin is changing players weapon model (if needed)
- plugin is changing players weapon viewmodel (if needed)

No need any CVAR's.

Re: [REQ-TF2] Give/Equip player flare gun

It won't be visible unless they own it unfortunately. I think asherkin mentioned that changing weapons was broken after Valve introduced the system that merges CEconItemViews... I've yet to understand if that's serverside or clientside :o

Isn't only Hat's thing? Randomizer servers working still.

It's not only for hats and regarding Randomizer, I think it still applies to the "player owns it" rule: you'll see a weapon only if the player has it in their backpack.
I might be completely wrong though, I myself haven't yet realized why TF2Items can't spawn weapons anymore.

Re: [REQ-TF2] Give/Equip player flare gun

Lazy version. Requires TF2Items and Give Weapon.

lern 2 test before posting code n00b

You can do this pretty easily without Give Weapon (heck, without TF2Items even) but I'm just keeping it simple and will probably accidentally break it otherwise.

Re: [REQ-TF2] Give/Equip player flare gun

Unfortunately your plugin doesn't work for me. Player is not obtaining weapon.
But nevermind, You gave me another idea! The Map is executing commands from "Give Weapon" plugin and I dont need plugin to force weapon :)
Big thanks :)

Sorry; here's another version that works. Tested this time around :bacon:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <tf2_stocks>

#include <tf2items>

#include <tf2items_giveweapon>



public TF2Items_OnGiveNamedItem_Post(client, String:classname[], itemDefinitionIndex, itemLevel, itemQuality, entityIndex)

{

    if (StrEqual(classname, "tf_weapon_flaregun", false) || StrEqual(classname, "tf_weapon_flaregun_revenge", false))

        return; // It's a flare gun already

    new Handle:data;

    CreateDataTimer(0.0, Timer_CheckFlareGun, data, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);

    WritePackCell(data, GetClientUserId(client));

    WritePackCell(data, EntIndexToEntRef(entityIndex));

    ResetPack(data);

}



public Action:Timer_CheckFlareGun(Handle:timer, Handle:data)

{

    new client = GetClientOfUserId(ReadPackCell(data));

    if (!client) return;

    new entityIndex = EntRefToEntIndex(ReadPackCell(data));

    if (entityIndex <= MaxClients) return;

    

    if (entityIndex != GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 1)) return;

    TF2Items_GiveWeapon(client, 39);

}

You could just do point_servercommand, but then you'd be overriding players' own Flare Guns, and ensuring that they'd be invisible 100% of the time.

Unless he uses Attachables :bacon:
