Skin Changing on Player Wasted

[PhantomNL]

Hello guys, just a simple question:

If I die by any reason, I get respawned at Grove Street with another skin and all my weapons are gone, how can I fix so that the skin keeps the same, and I keep my ammo on death?

Also, can I change the name of the 'play' gamemode so the gamemode doesn't show up as 'play' in the server list? (I have a custom map in the game, wich needs the gamemode 'play' to start)

Thanks!

Everything you want here requires you to have LUA Knowledge...

In order to give the player back the skin they had before they died, you would need to use:

onPlayerWasted then get the player skin using: getElementModel, and store it in a variable or a table, after the player spawns(onPlayerSpawn), use setElementModel and set the player skin back.

Also, for the ammo and guns, you could use the same events, but you would need to loop through every slot and get the guns ammos.

It would be easier to make yourself invurnible with onPlayerDamage and cancelEvent - However a script that was said above me could be more handy sometimes.

I would use a setTimer too, so I give the skin 500 miliseconds later of the spawn.

Ya, you are allowed to do that

If you need any help with script, just post it here and we'll help, since you've already created this topic for/about it.

Yeah I'm a bit confused now as I don't really know what to do now.. I don't really have much experience in scripting..

Ok, I'll just make this script for you, but you would need to read and learn over it:

local savedWeps = {} --Stores all the saved weps 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",root, --Triggered when a player dies 
    function() 
        --Loop through all the player weapons 
        local sourceWeps = {} --player weapons table 
        for i=1,12 do 
            local WepNum = getPedWeapon(source,i) --get the weapon from slot 
            local WepAmmo = getPedTotalAmmo(source,i) --get the ammount of ammo from weapon slot 
            if WepAmmo > 0 then --check if the weapon has ammo 
                sourceWeps[i] = {WepNum,WepAmmo} --store the weapon and the ammount of ammo in the player weapons table 
            end 
        end 
        savedWeps[source] = toJSON(sourceWeps) --convert the table into JSON 
    end 
) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn",root, --Triggered when a player spawns 
    function() 
        local weps = savedWeps[source] --get the weps (JSON still) 
        if not weps then --check if there are not weps 
            return --end the script if there isn't weps 
        end 
        weps = fromJSON(weps) --convert the JSON to a table againn 
        --Loops through the weps table 
        for WepNum, WepAmmo in pairs(weps)do 
            giveWeapon(source,WepNum,WepAmmo) --give the player their weapons 
        end 
    end 
)

Thanks alot, although I can't see anything but 2 empty lines.. hehe, I figured out though on how to keep weapons on player death, not on my own, by the way , but I am trying to learn to script, if you can post the script you made, I can take a look at it, and maybe learn something from it, I hope

Sorry about that, I was doing multiple of things that day, so I tried to remember to do it, but it seems like it slipped my mind...

Anyways, I've posted the script above.

        end 
    end 
) 

JSON for this matter makes no sense.

That script doesn't seem to work, gives this error in the console: WARNING: [gameplay]/WS/ws.lua:25: Bad argument @ 'giveWeapon' [Expected number at argument 3, got table]

Try this:

local savedWeps = {} --Stores all the saved weps 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",root, --Triggered when a player dies 
    function() 
        --Loop through all the player weapons 
        local sourceWeps = {} --player weapons table 
        for i=1,12 do 
            local WepNum = getPedWeapon(source,i) --get the weapon from slot 
            local WepAmmo = getPedTotalAmmo(source,i) --get the ammount of ammo from weapon slot 
            if WepAmmo > 0 then --check if the weapon has ammo 
                sourceWeps[i] = {WepNum,WepAmmo} --store the weapon and the ammount of ammo in the player weapons table 
            end 
        end 
        savedWeps[source] = toJSON(sourceWeps) --convert the table into JSON 
    end 
) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn",root, --Triggered when a player spawns 
    function() 
        local weps = savedWeps[source] --get the weps (JSON still) 
        if not weps then --check if there are not weps 
            return --end the script if there isn't weps 
        end 
        weps = fromJSON(weps) --convert the JSON to a table againn 
        --Loops through the weps table 
        for _, wep in ipairs(weps)do 
            giveWeapon(source,wep[1],wep[2]) --give the player their weapons 
        end 
    end 
)
