Respawn Weapons on Pickup or Timer

[PoisonMichael]

Hello,

So I'm fiddling around with LUA for the first time and I wish some people could help me a bit.

I would like to respawn weapons that are placed in the map when you pick them up (this can be with a small delay), just like HL2:DM.

Now I found out that I can make everything respawn with this code placed in the shared.lua

timer.Create( "my_timer", 10, 0, function()
	game.CleanUpMap();
end)

The problem is all of the physics props get respawned which is normal, but not what I want.

I also found a piece of code here: [url]https://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexe352.html[/url]

I tried this but it doesn't seem to work.

local nextclass, nextpos, nextang
 
local function RespawnTrigger(ply,wep)
    nextclass, nextpos, nextang = wep:GetClass(), wep:GetPos(), wep:GetAngles()
    wep:Respawn()   
    return(true)
end
 
hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "RespawnTrigger", RespawnTrigger)
 
hook.Add("OnEntityCreated","RespawnManagement",function(ent)
    if ent:IsWeapon() then
        local function DelayedRespawn(ent,class,model)
            if !(ent:GetClass() == class ) then return end
 
            nextclass = ""
 
            ent:SetPos(nextpos)
            ent:SetAngles(nextang)
 
        end
 
        timer.Simple(0.1,DelayedRespawn, ent,nextclass) -- The timer is needed so that the entity's class and model is properly defined.
    end
end)

It would be used for HL2 weapons like physcannon, grenades, ...

Is there a way to make the CleanUpMap(); only work for weapons? Or how do I target only weapons?

Thanks
Michael

You can just simply create a timer when player picks up the weapon like this

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "RespawnTrigger", function(ply,wep)
local nextclass, nextpos, nextang = wep:GetClass(), wep:GetPos(), wep:GetAngles()
timer.Simple(0.1,function()
local ent = ents.Create(nextclass)
ent:SetPos( nextpos )
ent:SetAngles( nextang )
ent:Spawn()
end)
end)
[/lua]

Hey Masster,

Just a quick question, it's all working but for some reason it sometimes freaks out and duplicates the picked up weapons multiple times and makes the server crash.

Is there a way to freeze the spawned weapons in place and not shootable. Or is it possible so you can't pick up a physcannon when you already have one?

Thanks for your help.

GM:PlayerCanPickupWeapon( ply, wep )
if ply:HasWeapon( wep ) then return false
else return true end

i believe this will help? im not sure though if this is what you are looking for

Hey Kulcris,

I tried some stuff and your code is working, however now it's completely out of control lol.

I use this code atm:

hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "RespawnTrigger", function(ply,wep)
local nextclass, nextpos, nextang = wep:GetClass(), wep:GetPos(), wep:GetAngles()
timer.Simple(5,function()
local ent = ents.Create(nextclass)
ent:SetPos( nextpos )
ent:SetAngles( nextang )
ent:Spawn()
end)
end)

function GM:PlayerCanPickupWeapon(ply, wep)
   if ply:HasWeapon("weapon_physcannon") then return false end
 
   return true
end

When I pick up a physcannon it gives me 1 and the rest stays at it's place. However a few seconds later (2 seconds I guess since thats whats in the code) everything respawns where I walked over.

[kulcris]

ROFL thats pretty awesome honestly... now you didnt add

ent:EnableMotion(false) so that would be why they go flying ... but hmmm

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

also you put

false end

return true
it should be else return true end

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

else return true end end (to end the function)

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

[lua]hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "RespawnTrigger", function(ply,wep)
local nextclass, nextpos, nextang = wep:GetClass(), wep:GetPos(), wep:GetAngles()
if ply:HasWeapon("weapon_physcannon") then return false
timer.Simple(5,function()
local ent = ents.Create(nextclass)
ent:SetPos( nextpos )
ent:SetAngles( nextang )
ent:Spawn()
ent:EnableMotion(false)
end
else
return true
end)
end)
[/lua]

Try this

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

you have it respawning no mater if someone picks it up or not, have them only respawn if they are allowed to pick up

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

let me know if this works please it will allow for some easy to create respawning weapons lol

So I added this to init.lua but it doesn't seem to do a lot :o Or do I have to add it somewhere else?

[kulcris]

ummmm just add it to a lua file in lua/autorun

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

sorry ! dont do it! lol one moment i mixed something up

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "RespawnTrigger", function(ply,wep)
	local nextclass, nextpos, nextang = wep:GetClass(), wep:GetPos(), wep:GetAngles()
		if wep:GetClass() == "weapon_physcannon" and ply:HasWeapon("weapon_physcannon") then return false 
		else
		timer.Simple(5,function()
			local ent = ents.Create(nextclass)
			ent:SetPos( nextpos )
			ent:SetAngles( nextang )
			ent:Spawn()
            ent:EnableMotion(false)
		end)
		return true
	end
end)

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

the wep:GetClass() == "weapon_physcannon" will make it only work if the weapon you are trying to pick up is not a physcannon but you can pick up multiple of other guns

before i had it set to do exactly the same thing it was doing before except it wouldnt respawn if you did pick it up XD

This seems to work perfectly! I can pickup 1 weapon and not everything at once :D

Now only one little thing. I can still shoot and pickup (right click) the weapons. I guess that ent:EnableMotion(false) doesn't work?

[kulcris]

hmmmmm guess not,

try this
ent:Sleep()

in place of ent:enabledmotion(false)

[PoisonMichael]

[QUOTE=kulcris;47328206]hmmmmm guess not,

Hmm, no I can still do it. But don't worry, it's ok. I'm happy you got the respawn to work.

Thanks a lot!

[kulcris]

or you can try
ent:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_DEBRIS)

though i dont know if you will be able to pick it up still

[editline]15th March 2015[/editline]

other then that i have no more ideas XD
