About Forceweapon

[poutch]

Hi,

I noticed that when u do a forceweapon call, if player was using secondary weap he will be automatically switched to the "new" PRIMARY weapon. Is it possible to change the function so that the players keeps the primary or secondary state (which seems more logical) ?
Exemple :

Player had the weapons : (4,15) but was using his secondary (15) when a ForceWeapon (5,16) is called.
For now, after the call the player will be holding the weapon 5.
Is it possible to make it get the weapon 16 as it is his secondary ? or at least at a variable in the procedure which let us choose which weapon he ll be holding. For the moment it will always be the primary weap.

As I said on IRC, existing functions will not be changed. The way to fix what you think is broken (which it isnt), would cause logical problems with existing scripts that use this function.

EDIT: The reason why I say it isn't broken, is because when you switch weapons, no matter what the weapon is, the one in your hands being fired, IS your primary weapon.

Ok, if server interpret it like that i can work on it inversing my numbers of primary and secondary in my forceweapon calls. ty

use this:


(if want to keep current weap as sec'd)

Code: [Select]

...(code)...
  ForceWeapon(ID,(wanted weap),GetPlayerStat(ID,'Primary'), (wanted ammo));
...(more code)...

if want to keep sec'd same:

Code: [Select]

...(even more code)...
  ForceWeapon(ID,(wanted weap),GetPlayerStat(ID,'Secondary'), (wanted ammo));
...(naninaninani)...

(nani nani pretty much means "blah blah blah" Nani means "what?" in japanese, so "what" is repeated for emphasis litterally meaning "whatwhatwhat")
