It's just %player.setDatablock("Datablock Name");

It's just %player.setDatablock("Datablock Name");

Isn't it the ID of the PlayerData datablock? (Remember that datablocks do not have spaces or certain special characters)

Giving the name or ID has no difference. If you try to run a method (or use a variable) on a string, it will try to find the object with that name.

Hm, I never knew that.

[slimshady]

function KarambitImage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{   
        %client.player.setDatablock(IDFSoldierK);
   %obj.hidenode("RHand");
}
 wont change my playertype

Where is %client defined?

[slimshady]

idk what you mean my coding knowledge is very weak please tell me how to fix it

[honytawk]

The function does not know what %client is as you never mentioned it in the function before.
%obj already seems like it is pointing towards the player, so you don't need to know the client.
If you just change %client.player to %obj then it should work.

it doesn't work i get an error: Add-Ons/Weapon_Karambit/server.cs <237>: Unable to find object: ' '. Attemping to call function 'Set Datablock'

Did you change anything from

function KarambitImage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{   
        %client.player.setDatablock(IDFSoldierK);
   %obj.hidenode("RHand");
}

and if so, post the change.

Also, if I am not mistaken, you can point to client player with %this.player, unless I'm remembering my %this wrong.

 this is what i got atm

[slimshady]

maybe the playertype name is wrong? how do i know what the playertype is called for the script ?

-snip, oops-

[portify]

%obj is already the player. You are trying to get the player from the player via %obj.player. Just refer to %obj directly.

Notice the error:

The object you're trying to call setDataBlock on does not exist.

function KarambitImage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
                                       ^~~~ the object you're getting as an argument
...
        %obj.player.setDatablock(IDFSoldierK);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~ the object you're trying to call it on
