Spectator guns.

[phoenixf129]

Any idea on how i would be able to make it so spectators can be given a weapon via lua? (Not picking them up of course.)

I noticed that InitialSpawn spectators CAN get guns via lua, but when you die, you cant because theoretically they actually ARE spectators, whereas the dead people are not.

I was thinking of implementing some silly thing where spectators are given guns at round end and can go finish off the living.

you got all these crazy idéa that are awesome! ^^

Giving a weapon to a player == picking up a weapon. Player.Give(wepname) works by creating a weapon at their position. So you'd have to look at all the PlayerCanPickupWeapon hooks etc.

Dead players may be blocked from picking up weapons by GMod, though.

Perhaps use KeyPress (serverside) to detect when spectators click, and then do a FireBullets there. That would avoid the whole weapon hassle.

Yeah... but InigialSpawn people aren't actually physically dead are they? That would explain why you can get a gun...

What are the... ROUND_* types? For GetRoundState()

On my old VIP system, you could get guns as spectator. Obv this was corrected quite quickly.

A more fun idea would be to ignite every dead players on round end.

function IgnitePly()

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
    if v:IsAlive() then
        v:Ignite()
    end
end

end
hook.Add("RoundEnd", "IgnitePlayers", IgnitePly)

[phoenixf129]

function IgnitePly()

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
    if v:IsAlive() then
        v:Ignite()
    end
end

end
hook.Add("RoundEnd", "IgnitePlayers", IgnitePly)

if not v:IsAlive() then

Otherwise everyone who IS alive burns. Lol, which is the opposite of bigbadboo's comment. :)


In other news, spectators can now throw knives at round end.

Player1: I WIN! IM SO AWESOME
Spec1: Damn he killed me! I KNOW! Take this!
*Spec1 spams about 100 knives in Player1's Direction*
Player1: RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
*Player1 gets a knife in the face, and many other places. Many would think that Player1 now resembles a pincushion.*

IsAlive is not a function. RoundEnd is not a hook.

I hope there is a limit on the number of knives a spectator can throw, or people will hit the entity limit very quickly.

Damned good point. But i set it so the knives disappear after one second, using a timer.

That would be rather aggrevating, main reason why i haven't.

Instead of knives, im working on MONITORS, Dr. Hax moment here.

So now `bind / "say_team HAX!; sleep; ttt_throw_monitor"` is going to be necessary for your server? :P

[phoenixf129]

Yep :) except I'll make the sound Play globally, instead of from the emitters loc .
