My script isn't doing what i want it too

[kimbucktwo]

I'm very new to scripting, I've been wanting to do it for years, but have only been giving it a proper go recently.
I've gone through the syntax guide on garagegames, looked at youtube videos, and i am able to do the very basic stuff. Now i want to make a script that would make things happen in game. This script is useless, its just meant as scripting practice.

Code: [Select]

function servercmdresetgun(%client)
{    
  if(gunimage.projectile == gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun has already \c3reset\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun \c3reset\c6.");
  }
}

function servercmdrocketgun(%client)
{
  if(gunimage.projectile == gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles are alredy \c3activated\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles \c3ACTIVATED\c6!");
  }
}
The script is meant to change the projectiles of the default weapon "Gun", which i can already do. But to take it up a step, I want it so that if i type /resetgun in game, while already on the default gun settings, it will give me a message in game "Gun has already reset." Same for when i type /rocketgun while already on the slightly modded version of the gun, it will give the message Rocket projectiles are already activated."

I know that what im doing wrong is in the

Code: [Select]

if(gunimage.projectile == gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile)and i know that my approach to that control statement is completely wrong... so if someone could correct that line I'd be very grateful ^^

Thanks in advance.

I made the changes, but it still wont work, as if the control statement is always false

What exactly is going wrong?

[nerraD]

Syntax error?

Or possibly naming the DataBlock wrong for the rocket??

[kimbucktwo]

theres no syntax errors, i can change the projectiles perfectly fine.
Whats not happening, is there is no message saying "gun has already reset" when i type /resetgun while the gun is using gun projectiles
and there is no message saying "rocket projectiles are already activated" when i type /rocketgun while the gun is using rocket projectiles.

did you change the if() statements like Pacnet told you to?

It should look like this;

function servercmdresetgun(%client)
{   
  if(gunimage.projectile == gunprojectile)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun has already \c3reset\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun \c3reset\c6.");
  }
}

function servercmdrocketgun(%client)
{
  if(gunimage.projectile == rocketlauncherprojectile)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles are alredy \c3activated\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles \c3ACTIVATED\c6!");
  }
}

  }

  {
    gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles \c3ACTIVATED\c6!");
  }
}

yup thats just how mine looks, i even copy/pasted it in to clarify, but now when i say /resetgun it will always say "gun has already reset", and when  i type /rocketgun it always says "rocket projectiles are already activated, without actually changing to rocket projectiles

[nerraD]

try if(gunimage.projectile $= "gunprojectile")

if i was at home i'd quickly fix this

haha, well i appreaciate your help.
my script now looks like this:
function servercmdresetgun(%client)
{   
  if(GunImage.projectile $= "GunProjectile")
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun has already \c3reset\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun \c3reset\c6.");
  }
}

function servercmdrocketgun(%client)
{
  if(gunimage.projectile $= "rocketlauncherprojectile")
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles are alredy \c3activated\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles \c3ACTIVATED\c6!");
  }
}
and its still doign the same thing :/

[nerraD]

Well since I do not know what is happening, try doing something like this

$RocketGun = 0;

function servercmdresetgun(%client)
{   
  if(!$RocketGun)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun has already \c3reset\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    $RocketGun = 0;
    gunimage.projectile = gunprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Gun \c3reset\c6.");
  }
}

function servercmdrocketgun(%client)
{
  if($RocketGun)
  {
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles are alredy \c3activated\c6.");
  }
  else
  {
    $RocketGun = 1;
    gunimage.projectile = rocketlauncherprojectile;
    %client.chatmessage("\c6Rocket projectiles \c3ACTIVATED\c6!");
  }
}

i tried playing with that idea before i posted the topic, but i never used the "!", can you explain what it is?
and nope its still not working :/ the gun projectiles wont change (right now they're set as gunprojectile)
when i type /resetgun it always says "Gun has already reset"
When i type /rocketgun it always says "Rocket projectiles are already activated"

[nerraD]

the ! is the opposite

[kimbucktwo]

the ! is the opposite

opposite meaning if the statement was true, it would go to the false logic?
