So I'm trying to give a player the "arms" weapon in Zombie Panic: Source, but the server crashes.

PHP Code:

// _Data is the client
FakeClientCommand(_Data, "panic")
FakeClientCommand(_Data, "dropweapon")
 
new iWeapon = GivePlayerItem(_Data, "weapon_arms")
PrintToServer("Player index %d given weapon index %d", _Data, iWeapon)
EquipPlayerWeapon(_Data, iWeapon)
PrintToServer("Player index %d equipped weapon index %d", _Data, iWeapon) 


Sometimes the server will crash, sometimes the player will crash. I've noticed it prints different weapon indexes each time. One time when it crashed, it printed weapon index 317. Another when a player crashed, it printed 312. I'm not sure why exactly.

Index is defined at runtime.

Any insight into why it's crashing then? :/

I think I had crashes with EquipPlayerWeapon when I had just removed a weapon, try adding a 0.1 delay before executing it.

No dice. Thanks though.

Any other ideas?

I had a crash with EquipPlayerWeapon when it tried to equip the weapon and it was already equiping it (auto switching on pick up). I dont exactly remember how i over came it i believe i found a different way to do it and avoided using EquipPlayerWeapon

I still can't figure this out. I've tried every method of spawning weapons I can think of.

I really really hate the ZPS team right now.

This is what I'm using:

PHP Code:

// Remove
RemovePlayerItem(client, i_Ent);
RemoveEdict(i_Ent);

// Equip
new i_Ent = CreateEntityByName("weapon_arms");
if (i_Ent == -1) return;

DispatchSpawn(i_Ent);
EquipPlayerWeapon(client, i_Ent); 


I use this in Left4Dead but I'm guessing it will work.

Tried it before, doesn't work.
