WeaponChange Box (2.7.0+) v0.2

[freestyler]

Script name: WeaponChange Box
Script description: Shows a sexy box whenever you change weapon
Author: fri (idea by kzya)
Core version: 2.7.1
Hosted by: Soldat Central - http://soldatcentral.com/

Interface layers: 7, 8, 9, 10
WORKS ON SERVER 2.7.0+ ONLY
The script doesn't compile on 2.6.6! It uses procedures available only in the latest one (Soldat 1.5.1)

Whenever you change weapon, a little sexy box shows up and disappears after three seconds. Fully customizable.

Updated: now works even if you carry two identical weapons (might not always pop up since it checks once per second).

That's goddamn sexy.

[Silnikos]

That's where scripting should go, great.

[Mercury92]

Yeah very cool!
Thanks.

[xmRipper]

Great idea. Awesome.

Having two identical weapons (M79 - M79 or MP5 - MP5)
It doesn't draw anymore.

Nice idea great job

Gives me an idea, since i think u can get certain key presses, it may be possible to have a menu specific for weapons. that may get rid of the SetWeaponActive not always working 'bug' but may not be very smooth without more than one check per second. another idea is for a player class selection while in spectator (but not 100% certain if u can get key presses while in spectator, and pressing up ('w') may not be the best idea for navigation (it messes with the camera), but just an idea)

I know, it can't be fixed because OnWeaponChange isn't called when 'new' weapon is the same as previous one.

Can't you modify it so that, when you press the change weapon key, the box slides from wep to wep, AND add some kind of script that identifies your current weps and sets them into the weapon slider?

Also add some RPG features, accounts, new weapons, vehicles etc.

It's for fixing the issue that Mercury mentioned, and just in case you're not up-to-date here, sarcasm isn't always as witty as you imagine it to be.

Without using a thread or a very specialized other method of fast looping you can only check keys once a second. So there would only be a 1-in-1000-or-less chance of catching the keypress.

So maybe instead of drawing 2 weapons of same kind - draw one with "x2" suffix?

So simple yet so genius. Thanks!
Script updated to version 0.2, now supports two identical weapons using AppOnIdle, so the box might not always pop up.

I just meant that it's not possible and not worth the effort.

[DarkCrusade]

This is hilarious, freestyler may decide himself what he thinks is worth the effort and not you, Gizd.

Very nice, styler!

[freestyler]

Heh, chill out, I thought adding support for identical weapons wasn't worth the effort, too. But I added it as soon as Wookash posted his way to make it ten times simplier than I thought it would be. Peace.
