Darkrp: Disabling entities for certain variables

[mil0001]

Hi guys. We were cleaning up a 'npc shop' character and would like it so when you buy the item in the store it enables an entity in the f4 menu. Anyways we have already done all the npc shop just need a way to disable/enable the entities from pdata.

Here is the init.lua of the NPC entity.

[LUA]function BuySMGPack(ply, ent) smgPack = 20000
if ply:GetPData( "smgpack" ) == "1" then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format("You already have this item!"))
elseif not ply:CanAfford(smgPack) then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, "You can't afford it") return ""
else
ply:AddMoney(-smgPack)
ply:SetPData( "smgpack", 1 )
Notify(ply, 1, 4, "You can now buy SMGs!")
end
end
concommand.Add("buy_smgpack", BuySMGPack)[/LUA]

That all works fine. When you buy the item it sets "smgpack" to 1.

Now for addentities.lua we tried this but it didn't work. I was thinking it has to be included properly or something?

[LUA]AddCustomShipment("MP5", "models/weapons/w_smg_mp5.mdl", "weapon_mad_mp5", 3200, 5, false, 0, false, {TEAM_GUN}, function(ply) return ply:GetPData("smgpack") == 1 end)[/LUA]

If you need more info just holler :D

the functions in addentities.lua and shared.lua have been buggy in 2.4.2 :\

I'd stay clear of them, and just write code around it.

The shipment adding in addentities only gets called at the beginning of the gamemode. You'll need to update the table "CustomShipments" somehow in order to make it work.
