help with Permanent weapons on pointshop

[Galactic]

We currently have a few permanent pointshop weapons on our ttt server which we made by simply toggling the "SingleUse" value to false.
However this lets people re-gift themselves with the weapon. Is there any way to restrict it to only giving players weapons at the beginning of the round?

[Humility]

I have the same thing for admins on my server. Here is the code:
[lua]
ITEM.Name = "Humility's Apache Revolver"
ITEM.Price = 1
ITEM.Model = 'models/weapons/w_pist_apache_hum.mdl'
ITEM.WeaponClass = 'weapon_ttt_lesapache'
ITEM.SingleUse = false
local id = 'STEAM_1:1:32229416' --only if for one person

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply) --
if ply:SteamID() == 'id' then --
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end
end

function ITEM:CanPlayerBuy(ply)
return ply:Alive() and ply:SteamID() == "id" -- ignore the ply:SteamID part if you want everyone to be able to buy it
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
ply:StripWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end
[/lua]

[Galactic]

Yeah, I'm not looking to restrict the groups that can buy it, pointshop already has all the variables I need for that, I am trying to make sure it only gives the item at the beginning of a ttt round and never in the middle.

How do you expect this code to work?
Hint: It won't...

Why won't it? Would this work:
[lua]
fuction ITEM:OnEquip(ply)
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

fuction ITEM:CanPlayerBuy(ply)
return ply:Alive() and ply:SteamID() == "id"
end [/lua]

[freakyy]

No it won't. You defined the variable id, and you are comparing the steamid with the string "id", not with the variable.

[Galactic]

Ack! Don't hijack the thread.
He means that because you used quotes it will only work if the persons id is literally "id" which it won't be.
Back to topic:
Would there be any way to check to see if it was pre-round and only give it then?

[Trooper]

woops miss read the beginning I thought you just wanted permanent weapons.

Sorry, lol

I believe TTT has a hook for it.

There it is:
TTTPrepareRound()

Note: this is all the TTT hooks listed:

[Galactic]

So how do I do that?

like this?

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply) --
	if TTTPrepareRound() == true then
		ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
		ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end
end

end

[/QUOTE]

hook.Add("TTTPrepareRound", "yourfunc", yourfunc) work from that

[Galactic]

So like this then?

ITEM.Name = "Perma shotty"
ITEM.Price = 314159
ITEM.Model = 'models/weapons/w_shotty.mdl'
ITEM.WeaponClass = 'weapon_ttt_shotty'
ITEM.SingleUse = false

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply)
	ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
	ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	ply:StripWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end
hook.Add("TTTPrepareRound", "OnEquip", OnEquip)

[rejax]

I believe pointshop allows you to use any default hook, so you could probably do

function ITEM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
end

Or something along those lines

[Galactic]

But how is that called on purchase?

[lua]
function EquipPointshopItem( ply )
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

function ITEM:OnEquip (ply)
hook.Add( "TTTPrepareRound", "GiveMeGun", Equip PointshopItem )
end
[/lua]

[rejax]

You don't need to do that, just add

function ITEM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
end

underneath

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)

[Galactic]

That's great, that works! only problem is it gives the weapon to the player every time anyone spawns in the server meaning he gets a lot of them on map connects... any way to fix that?

[editline]31st August 2013[/editline]

also it occasionally spawns in the hands of spectators

[Galactic]

actually it consistently spawns in the hands of spectators, any idea for a fix please?

Check if the player is spectator and if they are, strip the weapons from them or just slay them.

[rejax]

Make a check to see
[LUA]if ply:Alive() and ply:Team() ~= TEAM_SPECTATOR then
--give
[/LUA]
