Drop weapon on death.

[DDooby]

So I'm trying to code in a PlayerDeath hook, but it's not working.

Concept is simple, if someone dies, he drops his current weapon. Here is the code I've got.

function DropWeapon(ply)
	ply:DropWeapon(ply:GetActiveWeapon())
end
hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "DropWeapon", DropWeapon)

I've copied the code from the GMOD wiki, and I'm running it server side.

I've also tried using the code below, with no success either. Any help would be appreciated. :)

function DropWeapon(victim, inflictor, killer)
victim:DropWeapon(victim:GetActiveWeapon())
end
hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "DropWeapon", DropWeapon)

The first thing I would do would be using some debug prints to see what's actually going on. Does the player have an active weapon or is he already dead?

Try that :
[lua]function DropWeapon(ply)
print(ply:GetActiveWeapon())
ply:DropWeapon(ply:GetActiveWeapon())
print("The weapon should've dropped now")
end
hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "DropWeapon", DropWeapon)[/lua]

If there's no weapon you'll have to use another hook, if it's not ran we'll need to find out why.

In the SWEP's code declaration, you may also set SWEP:ShouldDropOnDie() and return true, that should work too ;)

Except sometimes you want default weapons to be dropped too. :ninja:

This would be usefull with ragmod.

It seems that the player is already dead, before he can drop his weapon. Guess I'll need to find another hook.

[lua]function ScaleDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )

if ply:Health() - dmginfo:GetDamage() <= 0 then

ply:DropWeapon(ply:GetActiveWeapon())

end

end

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","ScaleDamage",ScaleDamage)[/lua]

Try that, it will probably work. I recommend you also setup a whitelist or blacklist so players don't drop their toolgun/physgun.

Well, I wanted the default weapons to drop too. Just for the sake of 'realism'. It's a DarkRP server and I thought it would be nice to see players drop their weapon to the ground when they died.

Code doesn't work, I'll forget the whole thing. I might try again later.

Next try. Autowanted when killing a cop or mayor. :)
