Loadout to a Random T

[Galactic]

We got an amazing T weapon for our server but innocents seem to like getting it used on them. In order to reduce this we'd like to award it to one random Traitor in the start of a round. Now I understand where to put the code for this (autorun) but that's about it. Here's some psuedocode for the concept, any suggestions?

function weaponStartforT( ply )
hasawarded = 0

        --Admins--
        if ply isTraitor and hasawarded == 0 then
	     ply:Give("weapon_ttt_superweapon")
             hasawarded=1

        end
end

hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "weaponStartforT", weaponStartforT )

[lua]local function GiveSuperWeapon()

local traitors = {}

for _, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if ply:GetRole() == ROLE_TRAITOR then table.insert( traitors, ply ) end
end

local luckyguy = table.Random( traitors )
luckyguy:Give( "ttt_superweapon" )
end

hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "GiveSuperWeapon", GiveSuperWeapon )[/lua]

I think you can do ply:IsTraitor() too, not sure.

that seems to have worked excellently, I'm going to leave the topic up for a bit in case I find any problems. Thanks!

I'm getting the following error:
[ERROR] lua/autorun/frenzy.lua:10: attempt to index local 'luckyguy' (a nil value)
1. fn - lua/autorun/frenzy.lua:10
2. Call - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183

4. Function - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_init.lua:214
5. unknown - lua/includes/modules/usermessage.lua:87

otherwise it seems to work

Means that the script didn't find any traitor. No traitor was added to the list "traitors", thus table.Random couldn't find any.
Try this:

local function GiveSuperWeapon()
	local traitors = {}
	
	for _, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
		if ply:IsTraitor() then table.insert( traitors, ply ) end
	end

	local luckyguy = table.Random( traitors )
	luckyguy:Give( "ttt_superweapon" )
end

hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "GiveSuperWeapon", GiveSuperWeapon )

still giving the same error

[Kogitsune]

local luckyguy = table.Random( traitors )
if IsValid( luckyguy ) then
  luckyguy:Give( "ttt_superweapon" )
end

Should probably check to see if the traitor is valid before attempting to give them the weapon.

I'm not familiar with TTT, but are the traitors even determined when this hook is called, or is it after?

[my_hat_stinks]

[lua]local function GiveSuperWeapon()
local traitors = GetTraitors()

local luckyguy = table.Random( traitors )
luckyguy:Give( "ttt_superweapon" )
end
if SERVER then hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "GiveSuperWeapon", GiveSuperWeapon ) end[/lua]

It should have been server side ;)
