How would I change the deaths weapons?

[trippymodzhq]

Hello, I am wanting to change the weapons of the deaths for my deathrun server using Mr.Gash's deathrun gamemode. I have tried some fixes that I have found in other threads on facepunch but they didn't seem to work. Here is a function that I have tried:

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "WeaponLoadout", function( _p )
	if ( _p:Team( ) == TEAM_DEATH ) then
		_p:Give( "weapon_rubyrose_scythe" );
	end
end );

I put the code above in my init.lua file and it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated guys!

Are you sure that _p:Team() returns TEAM_DEATH? As in TTT those are just roles and using :Team() would not return the value you have.

Look through where the teams are created to verify this. It's likely that the gamemode creator created a check such as IsDeath() or something of the sort to help with this

I looked around some of the gamemode files and didn't see any IsDeath() type of deal. I even tried that in the code like this:

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "WeaponLoadout", function( _p )
	if ( _p:IsDeath() == true ) then
		_p:Give( "weapon_rubyrose_scythe" );
	end
end );

and that didn't work.

I didn't mean look solely for that.

Look for team.SetUp() and see what the team name is

Sorry I'm new to lua so I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works but I did manage to find:

TEAM_DEATH = 2
team.SetUp( TEAM_DEATH, "Death", Color( 180, 60, 60, 255 ), false )
team.SetSpawnPoint( TEAM_DEATH, "info_player_terrorist" )

How would this work in the other function?

Great. That's what I needed.
So TEAM_DEATH is an index number that's returned when calling a players :Team()
If you wanted it to return a string like returning "Death" you could do team.GetName( _p:Team() )

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "WeaponLoadout", function( _p )
	if ( _p:Team( ) == 2) then
		_p:Give( "weapon_rubyrose_scythe" );
	end
end );

Thanks for the dumb *later changed to funny thanks lol* sorry I am intoxicated and it took me five tries to figure out my brain was still on

Okay thanks for the help! It is detecting that I am a death but I am not receiving my weapon. Just so you don't think its a problem with my swep I added I changed it to a physgun. The code below:

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "WeaponLoadout", function( _p )
	if ( _p:Team( ) == 2) then
		_p:Give( "weapon_physgun" );
                _p:ChatPrint( "You are a death!" )
	end
end );

Now the code above is printing in chat that I am a death. But as I said above I am not receiving my weapon...

In the Deathrun gamemode it's likely that the gamemode strips your weapons after this hook is called. Try running this inside the GM:PlayerSpawn() instead. Make sure not to remove anything inside this gamemode hook though. GM:PlayerSpawn() should be in the init.lua file.

[B]WARNING!!!!! THIS FUNCTION IS ALREADY IN YOUR INIT.LUA ONLY ADD THE IF PART OF THE FUNCTION TO THE GM:PlayerSpawn(ply) FUNCTION !!!!![/B]

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
if ( ply:Team( ) == 2) then
		ply:Give( "weapon_physgun" );
                ply:ChatPrint( "You are a death!" )
	end
end

Alright I tried that and still the same thing. It is printing in chat that I am a death but I am not receiving my weapon.

Bump! I still need to fix this guys!

Are you sure the entity exists?

Change [URL="https://github.com/Mr-Gash/GMod-Deathrun/blob/master/deathrun/gamemode/init.lua#L336"]this function[/URL]. Not PlayerSpawn.
