Threading a Take/Give Weapons script!

I am trying another script. Its for a sniper only server. What I have done is script it so that when a player joins the server, he automatically joins a team and selects the sniper rifle.
I am stumped at the next step. I would like to take all his weapons after he dies and respawns and give him a set list. But my script does not work!
Code: Select all
$player thread _weapon
_weapon:
wait .1
self waittill death
self waittill spawn
self takeall
wait .1
self weapon weapons/springfield.tik
self useweaponclass rifle
self ammo rifle 50
self weapon weapons/silencedpistol.tik
wait .5
thread _weapon
end
I read several threads and the seem to do it this way.

I don't think self waittill spawn works.

Take a look @ this:

Major Pain that method does not work.
For some reason, "waittill spawn" and "waittill death" does nothing. Once I ignore them the script runs, but it takes all and gives specific weapon and keeps looping it.
Code: Select all
while(1)
{
wait .1
for(local.p = 1; local.p < $player.size+1;local.p++)
{
if ($player != NULL && $player[local.p].health > 0 $player[local.p].dmteam != "spectator" && $player[local.p].dmteam == "allies")
{
// waittill death
// waittill spawn
$player[loca.p][local.p] takeall
wait .1
$player[loca.p] weapon weapons/springfield.tik
$player[loca.p] useweaponclass rifle
$player[loca.p] ammo rifle 50
$player[loca.p] weapon weapons/silencedpistol.tik
}
if ($player != NULL && $player[local.p].health > 0 $player[local.p].dmteam != "spectator" && $player[local.p].dmteam == "axis")
{
// waittill death
// waittill spawn
$player[loca.p][local.p] takeall
wait .1
$player[loca.p] weapon weapons/kar98sniper.tik
$player[loca.p] useweaponclass rifle
$player[loca.p] ammo rifle 50
$player[loca.p] weapon weapons/silencedpistol.tik
}
}
wait .1
}
end
I am stuck at getting the script to watch the player till he dies and respawns. HELP!

waittill death for some reason may not be used on players, but it is easily replaced by:
while(self != NIL && isAlive self)
waitframe
The (self != NIL) check is to see whether the player is still on the server.
The waittill spawn is much more troublesome though. I've only found one effective way to do so, which is by glueing a very small trigger to every player. When this trigger is triggered, this is a proof the player is in the game.

Can you give me an example script of the kind of trigger ? Because the script requires a "waittill spawn" effect workaround.

Instead of self waittill spawn type self waitthread player_join_game
Code: Select all
player_join_game:
local.trigger = spawn trigger_multiple
local.trigger setsize ( -16 -16 -16) (16 16 16)
local.trigger glue self
while(1)
{
local.trigger waittill trigger
if(parm.other == self)
break
waitframe
}
local.trigger remove
end
