Q about Adding items to MP Stock Maps

I recently read the great (and long sought after by moi) map scripting tutorial written by Blazin' MOHAA, available
here.
I've had no problems with this tutorial, but I do have a question. Through changing the below code:
Code: Select all
//========================
local.fix1 = spawn script_model
local.fix1 model "weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
local.fix1.origin = ( 886.83 295.72 163.13 )
local.fix1.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
local.fix1.scale = 1.0
which, of course, spawns a model of a Thompson in the set coords,
to
this:
Code: Select all
//========================
local.fix1 = spawn item //Replaced "script_model" with "item"
local.fix1 model "weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
local.fix1.origin = ( 886.83 295.72 163.13 )
local.fix1.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
local.fix1.scale = 1.0
I've found that I can actually
add a weapon to these coords, and be able to pick it up once in-game. The problem is that I can't see the model! If I run over where it's supposed to be, I pick it up, but I'd like for everyone who plays (and myself included) to be able to actually
see the model.
Any clues on how to get the model to appear before the weapon's picked up, and dissappear once it's been picked up?

Replace "item" with "playerweapon_allied_thompson" and see if that works. Everything else would stay the same, although you don't really need the scale line (scale 1 is default).
something's not working right

Tom,
I tried replacing "item" with "playerweapon_allied_thompson", and left everything the same, but now I can't even pick the weapon up, nor see the model. Should I take the
Code: Select all
local.fix1 model "weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
line out, or what?
Still confused...

you're confusing him kai......
yes, the correct format for spawning that would be
spawn models/playerweapon/thompsonsmg.tik
make it a loop if yu want. add "origin" etc later
spawn models/playerweapon/thompsonsmg.tik "origin" "x y z"
angles and scale are unneeeded.
how do you make a loop?

Ok, after fiddling around with the script, I finally arrived at this:
Code: Select all
//==================
local.fix1 = spawn script_model
local.fix1 model "weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
local.fix1.origin = ( 2213.26 -1583.33 -6.87 )
local.fix1.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
local.fix1.scale = 1.0
//local.fix1 ghost //Remove this line to make solid
//=================
local.fix1 = spawn item
local.fix1 model "weapons/thompsonsmg.tik"
local.fix1.origin = ( 2213.26 -1583.33 -6.87 )
local.fix1.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
local.fix1.scale = 1.0
//local.fix1 ghost //Remove this line to make solid
Which of course makes a model of a Thompson and an item at the same coords.
What I want to know is, how do you add a loop in the script like you mentioned, lizard?

easily done m8
Code: Select all
level.zero = 0
while(level.zero = 0)
{
//your thompson code
wait 10
}
that refreshes the thompson so more than one player can pick it up.
This works

Ok, I got a simpler form of it working. It will vanish and respawns in about 12 seconds, on its own.
Code: Select all
local.fix1 = spawn weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
local.fix1.alwaysdraw = 1
local.fix1.origin = ( 2213.26 -1583.33 -6.87 )
local.fix1.angles = ( 0 0 90 )
Notice the roll angle which makes it lay flat. Players can pick it up by touching it, or with thier use key. Of course, they must drop thier main weapon first, if it is not a Thompson.
Thanks, thanks a lot
