making it so after number of kills you get another gun

[NA_PREDATOR]

I remember playing a gamemode a long time ago in gmod 9 where if you get a certain number of player kills you get a better gun, i only understand basic lua right now and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do it?

- You would have to keep track of the current amount of damage done for a player, you would do this in a variable.

- You will have to add the 'Dealt Damage' to the player's "Damage done" variable, you could do this in the OnEntityTakeDamage hook for example.

- After adding this damage, you can check if it's enough for the next "weapon-tier". If so, you could give the player his/her new damage and, if preferred, reset the damage, maybe keep track of a "current weapon-rank" as well.

A quick example that should get you started:

-- Serverside
function GM:OnPlayerSpawn( ply )
	ply.currentDealtDamage = 0;
end

function GM:OnEntityTakeDamage( ent, inflictor, attacker, amount, dmginfo ) 
	-- If we're dealing damage to ourself, abort. Remove if you want Player vs Player damage.
	if ( ent == attacker || ( ent:IsPlayer() && attacker:IsPlayer() ) ) then return end
	
	-- Register if damage dealt by a Player to a valid target
	if ( attacker:IsPlayer() ) then -- add && ent:IsNPC() or other checks if you want the damage to only work with certain entities. Without this, you would also get damage from props, etc.
		ply.currentDealtDamage = ply.currentDealtDamage + dmginfo:GetDamage();
		
		if (ply.currentDealtDamage > 9001) then
			-- give weapon code, etc.
		end
	end
end

Good luck!

I think he was looking for something like this:

[lua]
local Reset_On_Death = true -- Set to false if you don't want the player's amount of kills to be reset when they die.

local WeaponsTable = {}
-- WeaponsTable[NextNum] = { Kills needed, "weapon class" }
WeaponsTable[1] = { 1, "weapon_glock" }
WeaponsTable[2] = { 2, "weapon_deagle" }
WeaponsTable[3] = { 3, "weapon_ak47" }

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "Reset Kills", function( ply )

if Reset_On_Death then
ply.ReqKills = 0
end

end )

hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "Add Kills", function( victim, inf, killer )

if victim:IsPlayer() and killer:IsPlayer() then

if victim == killer then return end

killer.ReqKills = killer.ReqKills + 1

for _,v in pairs( WeaponsTable ) do

if killer.ReqKills == v[1] then

killer:Give( v[2] )

break

end

end

end

end )
[/lua]

Hey thanks a lot guys i appreciate it

It would be better if you just kept track of the kills.. Because if someone kills another person that has 10 hp they should still be rewarded the kill.

Sorry, updated the post above with the fixed version.

[NA_PREDATOR]

It works but i wanted it to keep the new weapons even when you die, i assumed that was what the first line of code was for

It shouldn't be inside the PlayerInitialSpawn function.

[NA_PREDATOR]

where should it be?

[.\\Shadow}]

[QUOTE=NA_PREDATOR;35603409]where should it be?[/QUOTE]

Any serverside file; it doesn't need to be inside any function. You can just place it at the end of your init file.

Ahh sorry, I was working on a particular system myself which works based on damage, hence I used it in my explanation. Hope you can work something out with the code-snippets supplied by the above users! :]

thats fine its still nice that you tried to help

shadow, i did what you said and its still not working

[NA_PREDATOR]

I didn't have anyone to test it with so i just typed kill in the console test it, could that have had something to do with it?

[editline]17th April 2012[/editline]

don't worry i figured it out and it works perfectly now, it was the line
[lua]function GM:PlayerLoadout(ply) --"The weapons/items that the player spawns with" function

ply:StripWeapons()[/lua]

thank you very much for all the help shadow

[Chessnut]

Why don't you guys just use playerEntity:Frags() rather than storing the frags in a variable.

[Claiver]

[QUOTE=Chessnut;35616957]Why don't you guys just use playerEntity:Frags() rather than storing the frags in a variable.[/QUOTE]

You may wish to reset the "kill count" on death (and with that the unlocked weapons) but still keep the total kill count (which could be Frags, true)

You don't have to do that because he doesn't want it to reset.
