Starting player with less weapons

[CannedBeans]

Hi,

I don't know anything about lua, but I wanna make it so the sandbox gamemode starts you with less weapons.

e.g. physgun, gravgun, toolgun

Is there a lua file I need to edit?

thanks

Back up your old one its untested it should work try it

[CannedBeans]

Thanks!

Would this work for other players in multiplayer?

For instance, if I edited that file, and then started a listen server with it, and someone joined, would it work?

thanks

[Zencro]

Yes it would work, any file changed on the server affects the users that join said server.

[Crazy Quebec]

Yes, when you create a listen server you use the rules defined on your computer.

[commander204]

No it wouldnt! The GMod GCF file overwrites it! You can only copy sandbox change the name and THEN change it!

I'm pretty sure that for any given file, the source engine will first look in the game's folder and if nothing is found default back to the .gcf. That's how you can mod HL2 (or any source game) to use different models/materials.

Nope. Each time a changelevel is performed the Gmod gets fresh copies of the files from the GCF. He would technically need to make a gamemode that derrives sandbox, and make the appropriate changes.

[Skyhawk]

You're all wrong. Use hooks.
[lua]local function LoadOut(ply) --Make our own loadout function.

// Remove any old ammo
pl:RemoveAllAmmo()

pl:Give( "gmod_tool" )
pl:Give( "gmod_camera" )
pl:Give( "weapon_physgun" )

local cl_defaultweapon = pl:GetInfo( "cl_defaultweapon" )

if ( pl:HasWeapon( cl_defaultweapon ) ) then
pl:SelectWeapon( cl_defaultweapon )
end

return true --Overrides existing one.

end

hook.Add("PlayerLoadout", "LimitWeps", LoadOut) --Hook it. [/lua]

Seriously. Ignore brad. Listen to Skyhawk.
