Sniper-only mod fails sometimes

[Slimbips {sfx}]

hey guys,

Purple elephantau made me a nice sniper only mod.... but sometimes people spawn with mg... and keep shooting the entire server empty.... how does it happen and how to stop that?

[Purple Elephant1au]

What was the mod again ?? did it use the spawn event ? or something like that, i forget lol post it up and maybe just add another check about 5 seconds after spawn aswell to catch those who missed the first

[Dude]

Let them spawn with the MG. Just set the clip size to 1. That would be fun!

[Slimbips {sfx}]

Heey purple, the spawn event.... when they spawn they get sniper... but when they drop it right away they still get the mg.... any fix for that?

[Purple Elephant1au]

You could always just make all the other weapon.tiks blank , that way they cant be chosen . Or make them not droppable .
Or just had a loop through taking all other weapons besides the snipers, so if anyone cheats and bypasses the spawn event that way, it will still take the weapon

main:

if(level.weaponrun)
end

level.weaponrun = 1

level waittill spawn

local.spawn = registerev "spawn" global/weapons.scr::spawn

local.connected = registerev "connected" global/weapons.scr::connected

end

connected local.player:

if(local.player == NULL || local.player == NIL)
end

/// Fixes new map spawn not working
if(local.player.dmteam != "spectator")
{    
    wait 0.5
    thread spawn local.player
}
    
/// Fixes bugged scores on new map
local.kills = local.player getkills
if(local.kills > 0)
local.player addkills -(local.kills)
        
end

spawn local.player:

if(local.player == NULL)
end

/// Ft spec bug with spawn
if(local.player.mef_spectator == 1)
end

/// Fixes FT new round no spawn, by waiting for round to start, remove if you want to test with 1 player
local.extgametype = getcvar "g_extgametype"
if(local.extgametype == "ftobj" || local.extgametype == "obj")
waitthread global/libmef/util.scr::waittill_roundstart 

wait 0.5

if(local.player != NULL){
/// Player take all
local.player takeall

/// Player now give both snipers
local.player give models/weapons/kar98sniper.tik
local.player give models/weapons/springfield.tik

/// player use rifle and set as primary weapon
local.player useweaponclass rifle
local.player primarydmweapon sniper

}

//// Now add a few more takes just incase the player is cheating and bypassing spawn event.
for(local.i = 1;local.i <= 3;local.i++)
{
    if(local.player != NULL)
    {
    local.player take models/weapons/kar98.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/mp44.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/panzerschreck.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/shotgun.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/steilhandgranate.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/p38.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/mp40.tik  
    local.player take models/weapons/bar.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/bazooka.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/m1_garand.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/shotgun.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/m2frag_grenade.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/colt45.tik
    local.player take models/weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
    }
 wait 10
 }
   
end

If cheats are enabled on the server, there are ways of spawning / giving yourself weapons. Shh... I didn't tell you.

[own3mall]

Not sure why you wouldn't use Creeper's weapons limiter mod. It gets initialized in Mike_Torso

You don't need checks. It happens every time you spawn.

[Purple Elephant1au]

Yes but it happens everytime you raise your weapon , so its unlimited ammo etc, also people tend to use that mike_torso then wonder why players are still landsharking lol

I don't think that's correct. I use weapons limiter, and I can assure you that you can run out of ammo.

Also, if you use the mike_torso from my ubermod, it has land sharking fixed along with the weapons limiter commands. All you'd then need is global/player_spawned.scr and weapon_settings.txt in root.

[Purple Elephant1au]

Oh i do stand corrected, it must be another mod that used the raise weapon state, his one completely changes the mike_torso around so the default state is STAND_REAL and not just plain STAND, which is smart but makes trying to add other custom states for other mods harder for the client.

I would rather use the event system then a custom mike_torso , as it is also triggered every time, only problem is that it is triggered faster then the mike_torso , so when you take or give weapons, the player is not ready yet to receive them.
So its just a matter of waiting an extra second before doing so, or maybe add a check for player ready ie local.player.ready = 1 , or wait until active weapon != NULL, just a few things like that would delay it enough to work properly.
Thats what i did with my weapon limiter.
Or just wait until RR has fixed the player.inventory command on linux release and you could use that aswell lol.


And for the weapon_settings.txt, you would need the all the custom edited weapon model tiks , which exec weapon_settings from inside the tik, but thats just to control ammo etc, and not the weapon limiter part.
