How do I setup random weapon spawning?

[MentallyAdvanced]

Is there a way I can setup a table with the guns I want spawning and make it so those guns randomly spawn anywhere as long as it isn't in a wall or in the air?

[Predda]

In which gamemode?

In my custom gamemode

Don't feel like spoon feeding but here's a start:

Timer? You shouldn't be feeding him at all.

SpawnPoints = {
	Vector(0,0,0),
	Vector(10,0,0),
	Vector(20,0,0)
}

Weapons = {
	"weapon_frag",
	"weapon_crowbar",
	"weapon_smg",
}

Delay = 60 // Seconds
-------------------------------
sw_cooldown = CurTime()
function SpawnWeapons()
	if sw_cooldown < CurTime() then
		for k,v in pairs(SpawnPoints) do
			local wep = ents.Create(table.Random(Weapons))
			wep:SetPos(v)
			wep:Spawn()
		end
		sw_cooldown = CurTime() + Delay
	end
end

Look at [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1524060"]his gamemode[/URL], it's not going to matter at this point..

You're a bad coder. Don't make other people suffer from your ignorance.

Seems like you're projecting a little buddy, he has a basic gamemode, a basic sense of lua, so I gave him the most most basic way to do what he wanted. Sorry that this triggered you <3

It doesn't make me ignorant if I rate a post "Winner", here is the definition if you need to know it: [url]http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ignorant[/url]

If you have specific locations per map that these weapons should spawn in, make a table of the vectors and loop through them and spawn an entity with a random class from another table you make of weapon classes. If you want procedural spawning regardless of maps, you will need to make some logic to find potential valid spawnpoints. I believe Homicide does this, try to take a look at its code.
