Is it possible when the player picks a weapon,the game to switch to the picked up weapon,instead of staying with the same weapon untill the player chooses the picked up weapon?

A little piece of script to get you started:
Code: Select all
gun_variable [0]
gun_slot [5]
setup[ ()
{
gun_variable = GetAttribute("gun","Player");
think = "run";
} ]
run[ ()
{
ThinkTime = 0.1;
if(gun_variable = 0)
{
if(GetAttribute("gun","Player") > 0)
{
SetPlayerWeapon(gun_slot);
gun_variable = 1;
}
}
} ]

It just stores the amount of 'guns' the player has in the beginning. So if the player already has the weapon 'gun' (in level start for example) the script won't change the player's weapon. The main idea here is: If player has no 'gun' -> check if he has picked it up -> change weapon. If the player already has 'gun' don't bother checking the attribute anymore. Hope that's clear enough.

Amm...I'm terribly sorry for this,I should have posted earlier,but I completely forgot and that's important. I didn't manage to make the desired effect (the weapon autochange).
Code: Select all
{
gun_variable [0]
gun_slot [6]
Spawn[ ()
{
Console(true);
PawnRender(false);
LowLevel("setup");
} ]
setup[ ()
{
gun_variable = GetAttribute("sniper","Player");
think = "run";
} ]
run[ ()
{
ThinkTime = 0.1;
if(gun_variable = 0)
{
if(GetAttribute("sniper","Player") > 0)
{
SetPlayerWeapon(gun_slot);
gun_variable = 1;
}
}
} ]
Here's the finnished script,I think it should be working,right? When the player picks up the attribute "sniper",the script should change he Player's weapon to the weapon that's in the 6-th position.I'm sorry again,it's totally stupid and incorrect of me to post this after all this time!

It's OK. Seriously, which is better: starting a new thread or posting in an old one?
And besides, I'm a terrible slowpoke too.
Anyway: PawnRender() is a low level command so it should be 'setup' order, not 'Spawn'. You're also missing the ending '}' for the script (probably another copy-paste mistake). But apart from those it worked for me. Also note that the weapon slot 6 is the weapon that has 'slot = 6' in its definition, not the one that's armed with the key 6.

REally,really strange,the missed "}" wasn't a copy/paste mistake,I also removed the PawnRender command and before I put it into the "setup" order,I decided to test how is it working,but it wasn't working again...
it's really,really strange,I don't see nothing wrong:
Code: Select all
{
gun_variable [0]
gun_slot [6]
Spawn[ ()
{
Console(true);
LowLevel("setup");
} ]
setup[ ()
{
gun_variable = GetAttribute("sniper","Player");
think = "run";
} ]
run[ ()
{
ThinkTime = 0.1;
if(gun_variable = 0)
{
if(GetAttribute("sniper","Player") > 0)
{
SetPlayerWeapon(gun_slot);
gun_variable = 1;
}
}
}
} ]
The gun slot is 6 so the sniper rifle arms when I press "7":
Code: Select all
[sniper]
type = weapon
slot = 6
firerate = 2.5
catagory = projectile
projectile = rifle_shell
attribute = enemy_health
ammunition = rifle_shell
the attribute entity gives the Player an ammount of 1 of attribute,which looks like this:
Code: Select all
[sniper]
initial = 0
low = 0
high = 1
When I collect the sniper rifle,it jsut doesn't pick itself automaticly...I have to press "7",so that the weapon in the slot 6 will be activated (and that's the sniper).

Code: Select all
...
run[ ()
{
ThinkTime = 0.1;
if(gun_variable = 0)
{
if(GetAttribute("sniper","Player") > 0)
{
SetPlayerWeapon(gun_slot);
gun_variable = 1;
}
}
}
} ]
->
Code: Select all
...
run[ ()
{
ThinkTime = 0.1;
if(gun_variable = 0)
{
if(GetAttribute("sniper","Player") > 0)
{
SetPlayerWeapon(gun_slot);
gun_variable = 1;
}
}
} ]
}
The syntax for a script is:
Code: Select all
{
order1 [ ()
{
} ]
order2 [ ()
{
} ]
}

oh,silly me,I shouldn't be making such mistakes...
that was really stupid of me,and I checked the script twice for this type of mistakes.
