Adding Items To Player Inventory?

[brickybob]

Code: [Select]

messageClient(%client,'MsgItemPickup','',0,"GunItem");
For whatever reason, this won't give me a gun.

Full code of unfinished stuffforget

Code: [Select]

package zombiegame
{
function GameConnection::spawnPlayer(%cl)
{
parent::spawnPlayer(%cl); //ffs do this before ANYTHING

if(%cl.infected == nil)
{
%cl.infected = 0;
}
if(%cl.infected == 0)
{
// %cl.joinTeam("Humans");
messageClient(%client,'MsgItemPickup','',0,"GunItem"); //%client,'MsgItemPickup',don't know what goes here,slot number,item
}
if(%cl.infected == 1)
{
// %cl.joinTeam("Zombies");
}
// %cl.centerPrint("Welcome to Brickybob's Quarantine Chaos mod!",3);
%cl.centerPrint(%cl.infected,3);
}
function GameConnection::onDeath(%cl)
{
parent::onDeath(%cl);
%cl.infected = 1;
// %this.spawnPlayer(); - causes beef ghosts; only use under direct ghost butcher supervision
}
};

activatePackage(zombiegame);

Code: [Select]

messageClient(%client,'MsgItemPickup','',0,"GunItem");

let's start with this: i have no idea what the forget you're doing! messageClient sends a chat message, you have the wrong arguments in two spots, and you failed to use it properly. tagged fields are likely above you, so i won't blow your mind.
if(%cl.infected == nil) is this valid?
%this.spawnPlayer(); use %cl, not %this

messageClient(%client,'MsgItemPickup','',0,"GunItem");

%client isn't even defined, use %cl. also, read your code before trying to fix it.

[elm]

Code: [Select]

package zombieGame
{
function GameConnection::spawnPlayer(%cl)
{
parent::spawnPlayer(%cl);

%infected = %cl.infected;

%infected[false] = "HUMANS";
%infected[true] = "ZOMBIES";

if(%cl.infected $= "")
{
%cl.infected = 0;
}

if(%cl.infected == 0)
{
%cl.joinTeam("Humans");

//Search the forums to see if the code below is correct
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
messageClient(%cl,'MsgItemPickup','',0,"GunItem");
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
}
else
if(%cl.infected == 1)
{
%cl.joinTeam("Zombies");
}

%infCentprint = "\c3" @ %infected[%infected] @ "!";

%cl.centerPrint(%infCentPrint,3);
}

function GameConnection::onDeath(%cl)
{
parent::onDeath(%cl);

%cl.infected = true;
}
};
activatePackage(zombieGame);

I saw it on the addItem event.  That's really my only defense.

There's also multiple lines in the additem event.

[brickybob]

So uh,
does anyone really have an answer?

[elm]

Yeah i'll give you the correct syntaxing for messageclient when i get home.

[Greek2me]

Use this function to give a player an item:

Code: [Select]

function GameConnection::forceEquip(%this,%slot,%item)
{
%player = %this.player;
if(!isObject(%player))
return;

if(!isObject(%item))
%item = 0;

%oldTool = %player.tool[%slot];
%player.tool[%slot] = %item;

messageClient(%this,'MsgItemPickup','',%slot,%item);

if(!isObject(%oldTool))
%player.weaponCount ++;
}

elm will deliver
surely we'll wait

Lol, Greek already answered it. When using the name of an item, use this function:

Code: [Select]

nameToId(someItem);
