About getWeaponAmmo

[GamerDeMTA]

This function,

getWeaponAmmo 

I have something wrong... I put the ID of the weapon like this but it gives error, expected weappon argument 2 got number '38'.

getWeaponAmmo ( 38 )

getWeaponAmmo is used for custom weapons, not players.

You must use:

getPedWeapon 
getPedTotalAmmo 

[GamerDeMTA]

but i have a problem... I want to do it only for the weapon ID 38. and those functions are for weapon slots.

[Castillo]

Use the minigun weapon slot ( get it from the wiki page ), then check if he has the minigun on the slot.

[GamerDeMTA]

how to check if he has the minigun, after that?

[Castillo]

getPedWeapon returns the weapon ID, just check if it's 38.

[GamerDeMTA]

i tried to but i dont understand how to... could you tell me? how to do that if the weapon > 5 it goes to 1

**for set the ammo i think i must use trigger and giveweapon in serverside no?**

Show me how you did it.

[GamerDeMTA]

function ( ) 
if getPedTotalAmmo ( getLocalPlayer(), 7 ) > 1 then 
triggerServerEvent("lol", getLocalPlayer()) 
end 
end 
setTimer(, 100, 0) 

server

  
addEvent("lol") 
addEventHandler("lol", root, 
giveWeapon(source, 38, 1) 
end 
) 

as u see it's a madness

And no idea yet how to get the weapon minigun =/

[Castillo]

function ( ) 
    local weapon = getPedWeapon ( localPlayer, 7 ) 
    if ( weapon == 38 ) then 
        if ( getPedTotalAmmo ( localPlayer, 7 ) > 1 ) then 
            triggerServerEvent ( "lol", localPlayer ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
setTimer ( , 100, 0 ) 

Using a timer isn't an efficient method though.

[GamerDeMTA]

why not? so each 0.1 seconds it checks if you have that no?

[Castillo]

You could use the onClientPlayerWeaponSwitch event instead, so when he switches to the minigun, it'll trigger.

[GamerDeMTA]

ok thanks. oh and i have other doubt, what's elseif for? same as if? or it's other use?

[Castillo]

Example:

if ( money == 200 ) then 
-- Do something 
elseif ( money == 400 ) then 
-- Do something else 
end 

And you can keep using it.

[GamerDeMTA]

ok

oh i tried the script with onClientPlayerWeaponSwitch event instead setTimer but it says this in debug:

ERROR: Client (GamerDeMTA) triggered serverside event lol, but event is not marked aas remotly triggerable

[Castillo]

Post the script.

[GamerDeMTA]

Client side

  
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponSwitch", getRootElement(),  
function ( ) 
    local weapon = getPedWeapon ( source, 7 ) 
    if ( weapon == 38 ) then 
        if ( getPedTotalAmmo ( source, 7 ) > 1 ) then 
            triggerServerEvent ( "lol", source ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
) 

serverside

addEvent("lol") 
addEventHandler("lol", getRootElement(), 
function ( ) 
giveWeapon ( source, 38, 1 ) 
end 
) 

[Castillo]

addEvent("lol") 

Change that to:

addEvent ( "lol", true ) 

[GamerDeMTA]

thanks it works

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
