Hi!

I currently learn scripting.

I'm trying to remove some weapons from the player after spawn. My method works great when called from e.g. a menu handler but when called in the player_spawn event hook the player still has all weapons.

PHP Code:

ForceSelectedWeapon(client)
{
    for (new i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
    {
        if (i == g_SelectedWeapon)
            continue;

        TF2_RemoveWeaponSlot(client, i);
    }

    ClientCommand(client, slotNames[g_SelectedWeapon]);
} 


What am I doing wrong? Are the weapons added to the player after the player_spawn event? How could I remove them after spawn?

The other problem I'm having is to notice when a player touches a refill cabinet because that gives the previously removed weapons back.
Thank you

You are not the first person having that problem.

Look at the melle plugin http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=561481

@Nican: That version of the plugin isn't supported any longer. In my version, it works.

@Quimbo: Once a player spawns, their weapons aren't equipped until the next frame. This means that you have to use a timer (0.1 seconds works great) when they spawn and then remove the items.

Regarding your other problem, as far as I know there is no way to detect when a player is touching a locker so you can strip their weapons again. All you can do is disable them altogether like so:

new iRegenerate = -1;

while ((iRegenerate = FindEntityByClassname(iRegenerate, "func_regenerate")) != -1) {
    AcceptEntityInput(iRegenerate, "Disable");
}

They will then be disabled until the next round starts. To enable them at any time use Enable instead of Disable.

I'm pretty sure you can just set up an entity I/O to detect when a player uses the locker.

Hi again!

Thanks guys for the nice responses! I really appreciate it.
Usually you get barked at when asking noob questions

I did that with the timer before I read your answer. I already imagined that the weapons aren't equipped yet.

Regarding disabling the locker: That doesn't seem to work always. Sometimes the lockers are still enabled (disabling is triggered by a menu callback).

Entity I/0? I'll try to read what that is

Thank you all.

Entity Input/Output

Basically things that usually mappers can activate by a trigger, you can activate it with SourceMod

Disabling them that way always works for me, they are only enabled when a new round starts.

The only outputs func_regenerate has is OnUser1-4, I'm not sure how you can hook those with SM. An example would be nice

Yeah, when I'm alone on my LAN dedicated it always works but on my gameserver with actual players it sometimes doesn't.
Dunno why.
