Make a weapon droppable after notdroppable?

[Zappa]

Hello!

I'm trying to make an "anti-silentshot" mod but i have this problem

from models/weapons/springfield.tik

	fire	springfield.skc

	{

		server

		{

			entry exec global/antisilent.scr

			entry shoot

		}

		//Etc...

and global/antisilent.scr is:

main:

	self notdroppable;

	waitframe;

	//self droppable;

end;

It works to prevent the silentshot, but something like a droppable function for weapons would be perfect.
is possible to emulate this function?

Regards!

I don't understand... What would the droppable function do that isn't already available in the game? You can already drop any weapon and item in the game...

[easymeat]

yeah right unless he wants to be able to turn it on or off with a cvar? own 3m all mod does that, heck most weapons mods do that

[James]

If own3mall's mod does that, why not just use that?

if your thing above works then just do something like this..

setcvar isDroppable = 1;


if(isDroppable.integer || isDroppable > 0)
{
    //No need to do anything because the default option for all weapons is that they are droppable
    //Unless you want it to do something else, then add your code below
}
else
{
    self notdroppable;
}

This isn't copy & paste code, simply the syntax and logic behind what you're trying to achieve. It should work in game.

I know, but after make a weapon notdroppable you can't drop anymore until you respawn and get a new weapon.
I want to get a weapon nontdroppable just for a little time when you shot, only to prevent the silentshots.

Updated

level waittill spawn

main: 

 

setcvar "isDroppable" "1"

 

while(1) 

{ 

    for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++) 

    { 

        // this makes sure we will be referencing the same 

        // player during our check, which now  

    	// covers multiple server frames    

    	local.p = $player[local.i] 

        

    	if( local.p.fireheld )

    	{

        	self notdroppable;

    	}

    	else

    	{

        	self droppable;

    	}

    } 

    waitframe

} 

end

[Zappa]

it will not work because droppable function doesn't exist in mohaa.
i'm looking for a way to make a weapon droppable after making it notdroppable, but i think is currently impossible.

thanks anyway.

I think you're correct. droppable is not a valid command.

The way the ubermod works is that it switches through the weapon model, then it checks for a cvar, and then it sets the weapon settings appropriately based on the cvar. If you change the cvar, the new setting (where the weapon is droppable) will not apply until the player has respawned.

You could always spawn ammo packs:

I think Silent Shots could be prevented by fixing state files. Weapon should be only droppable if player is in specific state. You shouldn't be able to drop weapon when you fire it.

Not sure if this will work, but...

Entity_t *e = ent->entity;

Sentient *s = (Sentient *)e;

Player *p = (Player *)e;

Weapon_t *weapon = NULL, *weap = NULL;





//Does player have a active weapon

if((player->activeWeapon != 0) || (ent->client->ps.activeItems[0] != -1))

{

	weap = (Weapon_t *)player->activeWeapon;





	if(weap != NULL)

	{

		//Not sure, but this may be one way of detecting whether or not a weapon is being fired

		if(weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_PRIMARY" || weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_SECONDARY")

		{

			//Don't drop weapon

			weap->notdroppable == TRUE;

		}





		//A second way of checking if a weapon is being fired

		if(ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_PRIMARY || ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_SECONDARY)

		{

			//Don't drop weapon

			weap->notdroppable == TRUE;

		}

	}

}

or maybe this

//Does player have a active weapon

if((player->activeWeapon != 0) || (ent->client->ps.activeItems[0] != -1))

{

	weap = (Weapon_t *)player->activeWeapon;





	if(weap != NULL)

	{

		//Not sure, but this may be one way of detecting whether or not a weapon is being fired and dropped

		if((weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_PRIMARY" || weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_SECONDARY") && (ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_DROP_WEAPON))

		{

			//Force sound

			gameImport.Sound(&gEntTo->s.origin, gEntFrom->client->ps.clientNum, 2, "sound/weapons/fire/Colt45Fire1.wav", 1.0, 10.0, 1.0, 500.0, qfalse);			

		}





		//A second way of checking if a weapon is being fired and dropped

		if((ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_PRIMARY || ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_SECONDARY) && (ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_DROP_WEAPON))
