Help How to pick a random weapon

[johamort]

how do I give myself a random weapon at spawn from a list that I decide.
and how can I make my own texture for a custom entry in a .gdt
Dont wanna overwrite the existing L96A1 texture with my custom L94-Duck texture but I want the regular L96 to have the default texture and my custom L96 to have its own texture (Not camo)

Create an array of your choice of weapons and use the 'randomInt' function to get a random index for a random weapon. Something like:

PHP Code:

weaps = strTok( "weapon1,weapon2,weapon3" , "," ); // Creates an array of weapons. To add more, write the weapon names as the first argument and separate them by a comma

weapToGive = weaps[ randomInt( weaps.size ) ];
self giveWeapon(weapToGive);

whats strTok

that gave me an error
Uninitialized variable weaps or something

In a for-Loop:

Code:

for(i=1;;i++)
{
if(abuttonpressed)
{
if(i==1){giveWep...}
if(i==2){giveWep...}
...
}
if(=="weaponnumber" ){i=1}

wait .01;
}

"strTok( string, delimiter )" is a function that tokenizes the string by it's delimiters and returns an array of strings. In the example above, it would generate an array called 'weaps' with 3 values, weapon1, weapon2 and weapon3. Change these to the weapon names of your choice. I don't know why you would get an error though :S

uhm, can you try this yourself?

I have mate, on many occasions.

PHP Code:

self.weaps = strTok( "cpgun_mp|bowie_knife_zm|frag_grenade_mp|knife_ballistic_mp", "|"); 


This for example, splits the string of weapons up between the '|' and puts them into an array.

If you're still getting the error, post a bit more code

[iAegle]

or you do this

C++ Code

v = [];
v[0] = "ak47_mp";
v[1] = "mp5k_mp";
v[2] = "ak74u_mp";
v[3] = "famas_mp";
v[4] = "fnfal_mp";
 
weapon = v[ randomInt( v.size ) ];

If I were you I'd use iAegle solution , less confusing when you have alot of codes

iAegle btw is this how you need to use it?

self giveweapon ( weapon )

v = [];
v[0] = "ak47_mp";
v[1] = "mp5k_mp";
v[2] = "ak74u_mp";
v[3] = "famas_mp";
v[4] = "fnfal_mp";

weapon = v[ randomInt( v.size ) ];
