Unusable kits

[Wannas]

This might seem weird, but I want to make kits which can't be picked up, as markers in a script i'm making. I've been told by a few people that this is possible, but no one can remember exactly how to script it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

What you can do is place a picture of kit on the map, but not an actual kit object like the one you might see in a map maker. No one will no the difference ingame, though.

That requires map editing and may cause the "Wrong map version" error, as far as I know Correct me if I'm wrong.

why would it cause wrong map version? as long as you compile the map it should be fine.

Let's guess the MrSnowman map will be edited to put the kit image into it, wouldn't it be so the players have to download the changed map? Or they just won't see the medikit picture?

They won't be able to join unless they can dl it. And they can dl it only when the name of the map is NOT in "readinly.txt" in soldat folder.

So, lets say, after editing MrSnowman the editor can name it MrSnowmanv11 for others to download? I highly doubt "MrSnowmanv11" being in the readonly.txt file

ah yes, u would have to rename the mapfile.. but you should always do that when editing a map.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of being able to place a kit at the player's location via scripting when a certain command is entered, then make it unusable, rather than placing images on the map...but thanks anyway.

You could spawn a dummy bot.
EDIT: Maybeh
EDIT2: Not sure about placement. MovePlayer doesn't work on bots I think.
EDIT3: Or you could just make sure everyone always has full health >_>

[mxyzptlk]

Yeah, simply have a godmode script, so that everyone's health is 100% or above at all times, unless it disrupts your plans.

How about Predator or Berserker?

[Neosano]

how about... give player full health when he come close?...
Or spawn dummy using the PlaceBot

Avarax made a PlaceBot function which adds a bot at a specific X, Y on the map (search to find)

OP wants to *place* (using scripts) a kit (berserk,pred,medikit,vest,flamegod) that cannot be used.

I think that's impossible, Wannas. (for berserk, pred, vest and flamegod)

[chutem]

You can do that, I assume this is for climbing or something, just make a thing in on player damage that checks if the damage being done will kill him, if not then no damage is done, if so then do 1000 damage

Not sure if I'm reading that wrong or not but he wants unusable kits..that really doesn't have anything to do with what he wants... Even with full health you can still pick up predmode, berserker, flamegod and a vest, health has nothing to do with those.

[shantec]

Umm... one way:

Spawn the objects / kits with SpawnObject.
Then, with apponidle check the distance of Kit(lets say X) and Player
and when player is near enough, remove Kit(X) with KillObject

But.... i dont think that's what u wanted
