Scripted weapon-pickup issue [solved]

Eggman · Post by **Eggman** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 12:53 pm

I've scripted an event where the player enters a region and, upon re-spawning, has access to a new weapon (same basic concept as in Maveritchell's Spira: Besaid). It works near-flawlessly, with one exception: the player can't switch secondary weapons.

I find it strange that this is the problem, as the new weapon takes the place of a primary weapon slot. I would have expected any interference to happen in the primary weapon channel, not the secondary weapon channel.

Here's the script:

Code: Select all

launcher_pickup = OnEnterRegion(
   function(region, player)
			KillObject("launcher")
			DeactivateRegion("launcher_pickup")
			SetClassProperty("rep_inf_trooper_story2", "WeaponName3", "rep_weap_inf_rocket_launcher")
			SetClassProperty("rep_inf_trooper_story2", "WeaponAmmo3", 7)
   end,
"launcher_pickup"
)

And the unit's .odf:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent         = "rep_inf_default"

[Properties]

MaxHealth           	= 1400.0

WEAPONSECTION = 1
WeaponName1         = "rep_weap_inf_carbine"
WeaponAmmo1         = 2

WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName2         = "rep_weap_inf_pistol"
WeaponAmmo2         = 0

WEAPONSECTION 	= 3
WeaponName3         	= "rep_weap_inf_pistol"
WeaponAmmo3         	= 0

WEAPONSECTION = 4
WeaponName4         = "rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo4         = 1
WeaponChannel4      = 1

WEAPONSECTION 	= 5
WeaponName5         	= "rep_weap_inf_bacta"
WeaponAmmo5         	= 1
WeaponChannel5      	= 1

VOUnitType        	= 121

I read somewhere that the order in which the weapons are set up in the .odf affects scripted weapon-changes, so I think my problem lies in how I set that up, but I'm not quite sure what I need to change.

Replace the 2nd pistol with com_weap_null or something else.

Replacing the second pistol with a different weapon didn't change anything. I'll try changing the order and see if that yields any results.

Edit: switching the .odf to this:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent         = "rep_inf_default"

[Properties]

MaxHealth           	= 1400.0

WEAPONSECTION = 1
WeaponName1         = "rep_weap_inf_carbine"
WeaponAmmo1         = 2

WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName2         = "rep_weap_inf_pistol"
WeaponAmmo2         = 0

WEAPONSECTION 	= 3
WeaponName3         	= "rep_weap_inf_bacta"
WeaponAmmo3         	= 1
WeaponChannel3      	= 1

WEAPONSECTION = 4
WeaponName4         = "rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo4         = 1
WeaponChannel4      = 1

WEAPONSECTION 	= 5
WeaponName5        	= "rep_weap_inf_pistol_dummy"
WeaponAmmo5         	= 0

VOUnitType        	= 121

Allows the player to access both secondary weapons, but not "rep_weap_inf_pistol_dummy" (which switches for "rep_weap_inf_rocket_launcher").

Edit2: So it seems like the problem is that the player can't access the fifth weaponsection, no matter what it is.

WeaponName# only goes up to 4. You can add more weapons, but you shouldn't use the number immediately after weaponname.

Alright, that should make the problem easy enough to fix. Thanks.

Edit: Works like a charm.

New .odf for anyone who's curious:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent         = "rep_inf_default"

[Properties]

MaxHealth           	= 1400.0

WEAPONSECTION = 1
WeaponName1         = "rep_weap_inf_carbine"
WeaponAmmo1         = 2

WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName2         = "rep_weap_inf_pistol"
WeaponAmmo2         = 0

WEAPONSECTION 	= 3
WeaponName3        	= "rep_weap_inf_pistol_dummy"
WeaponAmmo3         	= 0

WEAPONSECTION = 4
WeaponName4         = "rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo4         = 1
WeaponChannel4      = 1

WEAPONSECTION 	= 5
WeaponName         	= "rep_weap_inf_bacta"
WeaponAmmo         	= 1
WeaponChannel      	= 1

VOUnitType        	= 121
