get Players weapon?

[Elgan]

Hey, is it possible to detect what weapon or what weapon class/type is being used?


ive tried everything but everything returned NILL

There's several ways, this is probably the easiest:

Code: Select all

local.randomnum = randomint 1000
local.player weaponcommand dual targetname local.randomnum
local.thisplayersweapon = entity local.randomnum // or $(local.randomnum)
local.thisplayersweapon targetname "" // clear targetname

Do not execute a weaponcommand each frame though, they will stack and cause major lag after about a minute or so.

LOL, the hardest way is to find out yourself

[jv_map]

Well that's probably true At0mic

Another way would be this:

Code: Select all

parm.weapplayer = local.player
local.player weaponcommand dual exec somescript.scr
local.weapon = local.player.lastdetectedweapon

And then in main somescript.scr have:

Code: Select all

main:
  parm.weapplayer.lastdetectedweapon = self
end
