bindKey to pickup weapons

[kewizzle]

i would like to know how to do this so i can choose to pickup a weapon so it wont replace current slot, or maybe use all weapons at same time without replacing weapon thats already in the slot.

Giving the player a gun will always replace the gun which is on the same slot. You could do a custom weapon selection tho, using element datas for ammos, and just giving them weapons giveWeapon, and if he switches off, just take it away with takeWeapon.

well i wanna bindKey to pickup, not necessarily give a weapon. I want it to ask if you wanna replace the weapon in the slot before you pick it up. Say you have a colt45 and theres a silenced pistol and you walk over it i want it to ask before you pick it up and then press a key to pick it up.

Is it okay if I give you just a little overview of functions you'll need to do this script?

sure  go for it maybe i can put it together. My zombies drop weapons at random from id 1-34 and they drop with a random ammo amount of 1-3 and when you collect a lot then youre supposed to sell it for $1 per bullet. all this works but my issue when i pickup a weapon in same slot some of them also reset the ammo count picked up.

[NeXuS™]

getSlotFromWeapon
cancelEvent
bindKey
giveWeapon

I think it can be written with these 4 functions.

[kewizzle]

event possibly would be onPickupHit?

[NeXuS™]

Yeah, you are right. It would be that one.

i went to ihop lol so ima get started now

[kewizzle]

function checkPickup()
if getKeyState( "l" ) == false then
			cancelEvent( onPickupUse )
			else
		end
	end
outputServerLog ( "***Drop System Loaded   ***" )
function createDeathPickup ( totalammo, killer, killerweapon, bodypart ) --when a player dies
if ( killer ) then
if ( getElementType ( killer ) == "player" ) then
    x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --get the position of the person who died and define it as x, y and z
    dropped = createPickup ( x, y, z, 2, math.random(22, 34), 0, math.random(1,3))
	addEventHandler("onPickupHit", dropped, destroyPickup) 
	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropped) 
	addEventHandler("onPickupHit", dropped, checkPickup)
		else
	end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPedWasted", getRootElement(), createDeathPickup )

i got this far but it still picks the pickup up without me pressing the key.

 

i guess im missing something?

Where is your onPickupUse variable registered? @kewizzle

[Gordon_G]

The 

cancelEvent()

function does not requiere arguments, excepted :

[ bool cancel = true, string reason = "" ]

and, to be honest, I've never used them

Edited March 19, 2017 by Gordon_G

They are useful @Gordon_G. For example, this script. It blocks the player from picking up a pickup, just with one line.

onPickupUse is a built in function so I thought it would work. Idk how I would define it.

[NeXuS™]

Replace

function checkPickup()
	if getKeyState( "l" ) == false then
		cancelEvent( onPickupUse )
	else
	end
end

with

function checkPickup()
	if getKeyState("l") == false then
		cancelEvent()
	end
end

You didn't understand me, I was saying that for the optional arguments inside the cancelEvent() function

i did this but i get this

[09:19:17] ERROR: zombies\drops\server.lua:2: attempt to call global 'getKeyStat
e' (a nil value)

[Gordon_G]

If you want to use the 

getKeyState()

function, you'll have to put it client side

[kewizzle]

oh :~ yeah youre right one second

okay so now ive done this but player still picks the weapon up without asking first.

server

function checkPickupServer()
			triggerClientEvent ("checkPickup",source,checkPickup)
end
outputServerLog ( "***Drop System Loaded   ***" )
function createDeathPickup ( totalammo, killer, killerweapon, bodypart ) --when a player dies
if ( killer ) then
if ( getElementType ( killer ) == "player" ) then
    x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --get the position of the person who died and define it as x, y and z
    dropped = createPickup ( x, y, z, 2, math.random(22, 34), 0, math.random(1,3))
	addEventHandler("onPickupHit", dropped, destroyPickup) 
	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropped) 
	addEventHandler("onPickupHit", dropped, checkPickupServer)
		else
	end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPedWasted", getRootElement(), createDeathPickup )

client

addEvent("checkPickup",true) 
addEventHandler("checkPickup",root, 
function ()
	if getKeyState("l") == false then
		cancelEvent()
	end
end)

I did some more work and the event isnt cancelling at all. what am i doing wrong?

    dropped = createPickup ( x, y, z, 2, math.random(22, 34), 0, math.random(1,3))
	setTimer(destroyElement, 15000, 1, dropped) 
	addEventHandler("onPlayerPickupHit",getRootElement(),checkPickupServer)
		else
	end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPedWasted", getRootElement(), createDeathPickup )

function checkPickupServer(killer)
	if (getPickupType(dropped) == 2) then -- If it's an armour pickup
			triggerClientEvent ("checkPickup",killer,checkPickup)

it works but the pickup is destroyed still if l isnt pressed and so when it gets destroyed and i press l to pick it up it wont because its destroyed.

oh i see you have to hold l down so it doesnt pick it up is there a way to make it so you can hold it down to pick it up? i want it to be set to where you have to hold it to pick it up.

[undefined]

As I understood; you want to pick up weapon while pressing L.

local function bindState(player)
    state[player] = true
	bindKey(player, "l", "both", function(player)
		state[player] = not state[player]
	end)
end

Use it.
