[Solved]Getting weapon ID?

[Xierra]

Hi guys!

Now I ask another question: I have made a table, I want to get weapon ID, but I'm a bit confused.

local noreloadweapons = {} --Weapons that don't reload.
{[16], [17], [18], [19], [25], [33], [34], [35], [36]}
 
local meleespecialweapons = {} --Weapons that don't shoot, and special weapons.
{[0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [40], [44], [45], [46]}

Here's what I want: Get weapon ID, then if the weapons is from noreloadweapons, I want it to show in the other DX text which I said will be later.

dxDrawText("",646.0,731.0,694.0,766.0,tocolor(0,255,255,175),1.0,"bankgothic","right","top",false,false,false) --Ammo (for shotgun, grenades, etc), will be later.

And if the weapons is from meleespecialweapons, I don't want to show anything, just simple, by guiSetVisible to false.

How can I do this? I'm confused after reading the wiki.

First, you have to write numbers without [ and ] in these tables.

To check if a table has the value, you can cycle through them. This code will check if current local player's weapon is included in table noreloadweapons:

local is_weapon_in_table = false
local player_weapon = getPedWeapon(getLocalPlayer())
for _,weapon_id in ipairs(noreloadweapons) do
if player_weapon == weapon_id then
       is_weapon_in_table = true
break
end
end
if is_weapon_in_table then
--the code executed if weapon is in the table
end

BUT there's much simpler way to do that if you store data in the table in other way

noreloadweapons = {}
noreloadweapons[16] = true
noreloadweapons[17] = true
noreloadweapons[18] = true
noreloadweapons[19] = true
noreloadweapons[25] = true
--and continue this to 36
 
if noreloadweapons[getPedWeapon(getLocalPlayer())] then
--the code executed if weapon is in the table
end

And if you don't want to show DX drawings with certain weapons, just don't draw them. They disappear 1 frame after they have been drawn, this is why you have to draw them in onClientRender.

Right, I've have done this:

-- Weapon tables
function weapontables ()
local noreloadweapons = {} --Weapons that doesn't reload.
noreloadweapons[16] = true
noreloadweapons[17] = true
noreloadweapons[18] = true
noreloadweapons[19] = true
noreloadweapons[25] = true
noreloadweapons[33] = true
noreloadweapons[34] = true
noreloadweapons[35] = true
noreloadweapons[36] = true
 
local meleespecialweapons = {} --Weapons that don't shoot, and special weapons.
meleespecialweapons[0] = true
meleespecialweapons[1] = true
meleespecialweapons[2] = true
meleespecialweapons[3] = true
meleespecialweapons[4] = true
meleespecialweapons[5] = true
meleespecialweapons[6] = true
meleespecialweapons[7] = true
meleespecialweapons[8] = true
meleespecialweapons[9] = true
meleespecialweapons[10] = true
meleespecialweapons[11] = true
meleespecialweapons[12] = true
meleespecialweapons[13] = true
meleespecialweapons[14] = true
meleespecialweapons[15] = true
meleespecialweapons[40] = true
meleespecialweapons[44] = true
meleespecialweapons[45] = true
meleespecialweapons[46] = true
 
if noreloadweapons [getPedWeapon(getLocalPlayer())] then
guiSetVisible (totalammo, false)
guiSetVisible (separator, false)
guiSetVisible (ammoinclip, false)
guiSetVisible (noreloadtotalammo, true)
 
elseif meleespecialweapons [getPedWeapon(getLocalPlayer())] then
guiSetVisible (totalammo, false)
guiSetVisible (separator, false)
guiSetVisible (ammoinclip, false)
guiSetVisible (noreloadtotalammo, false)
 
else
 
guiSetVisible (totalammo, true)
guiSetVisible (separator, true)
guiSetVisible (ammoinclip, true)

end
end
end

end
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),DXdraw)

I got errors " expected near end" on line 57. I don't know where to place it, sorry. Can somebody help me where to put those tables?

[Dark Dragon]

remove the 'end' in line 57

but you can't use gui functions on dx draws. they are not elements. either you draw it or you don't, there is no "setVisible" function. to make it work store the tables outside of any function and check the player weapon every frame.

[Xierra]

I was thinking of a solution, your solution makes sense, but how should check weapon every frame and do what it says?

Whew, did some tries and now it works as it should! Thanks Dragon, I'll credit you.

Right, now I learned how to set DX text to be visible or invisible. Problem Solved.
