How would I do this?

[Jackarunda]

I have a SENT such that when you press E on it, it disappears and gives you a weapon.

However, if you already HAVE the weapon, it just disappears when you press E on it (and is wasted).

I have an idea. Somehow I should be able to use Player:GetWeapons() to check if the activating person already has the weapon, and if that is the case, then the SENT will do nothing.

I can very easily place the entire code block in an if/then statement, but I don't know how I would make the conditional part.

I want to do something like:
If the weapon the entity has to give is not already in the activator's inventory, then execute the code block. Otherwise, don't execute the code block.

Can anyone help?

It's that easy. Goes at the top of the use function for your entity.

Wow... thank you very much. I did not know there was such a function. As you can tell, I'm a super lua n00b. Lol.

[lua]/*---------------------------------------------------------
Name: Use
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function ENT:Use(activator, caller)

if (activator:HasWeapon("weapon_jack_m9")) then
return end
else
if (activator:IsPlayer()) then
//self.Entity:EmitSound("BaseCombatCharacter.AmmoPickup")
// Give the collecting player some SWEPZORZ ftw lol w00t
activator:Give("weapon_jack_m9")
self.Entity:Remove()
end
end
end[/lua]

Um... my notepadd++ with gmod plugin is not taking the right "end" at the end of its function.. the function is ending too early... I looked at the format of if,then,else,end statements and i dont know why its doing this...

I don't think you need the end on line 7.

[Jackarunda]

i will try that

That's not what gmod wiki says: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Return[/url]
