Player loadout on start?

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’m trying to learn lua by coding a simple gamemode, but i can’t get the player tp start with the right sweps.

This is the code i’m using now but it does’nt work so can some plz post a correct code?

function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )
ply:StripWeapons( ply )

ply:Give("hl2_combo_fists")

ply:SelectWeapon("hl2_combo_fists")

return true

end

hook.Add( “PlayerLoadout”, “gravAndShot”, Loadout)

#2

Well, there’s a couple things I could think of wrong here.

  1. There is no “ply” argument to player.StripWeapons. All you need is ply:StripWeapons().
  2. Are you sure you have a hl2_combo_fists swep?
  3. Is this in the right file?
  4. You don’t need to hook if you’re overriding it in your gamemode.
#3

[lua]
function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )

if( ply:Team() == 1 ) then

ply:StripWeapons()

ply:Give(“hl2_combo_fists”)
ply:SelectWeapon(“hl2_combo_fists”)

end

end
[/lua]

thanks!

but none of this worked… still spawning with: graitygun, crowbar, stunstik, smg, grenade and pistol…

#5

i tried with that code but it won’t work…

#6

It’s some other issue. Open up the console and paste in the lines around the COULDN’T LOAD GAMEMODE error in this thread.

#7

I don’t get any errors in the console…

#8

Where are you storing this code?

#9

in the init.lua in gamemodes/mygamemodename/gamemode ^^

#10

[lua]
function GM:PlayerLoadout( p )
if( p:Team() == 1 ) then
p:StripWeapons()
p:Give(“hl2_combo_fists”)
p:SelectWeapon(“hl2_combo_fists”)
end
self.BasClass:PlayerLoadout( p )
end
[/lua]

#11

Are you overriding PlayerSpawn, by any chance?

#12

sorry, new to lua so don’t know what “overriding” is :S

Here’s my whole init.lua code so far

AddCSLuaFile( “cl_init.lua” )
AddCSLuaFile( “shared.lua” )

include( ‘shared.lua’ )

resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.mdl”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.vvd”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.phy”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.sw.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.dx90.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/w_fists_t.dx80.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/v_punch.mdl”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/v_punch.vvd”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/v_punch.sw.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/v_punch.dx90.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“models/weapons/v_punch.dx80.vtx”)
resource.AddFile(“sound/weapons/fists/hl2_slash1.wav”)
resource.AddFile(“sound/weapons/fists/hl2_slash2.wav”)

// Serverside only stuff goes here

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:SetGravity( 0, 1 )
ply:setMaxHealth( 100, true )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 200 )

end
end

function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )
if( ply:Team() == 1 ) then
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:Give(“hl2_combo_fists”)

end

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn ( ply )
self.BaseClass:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
if ply:IsAdmon() then
pl:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, “Hello there admin!” )
end
end

function GM:GetFallDamage( ply, fspeed )

return ( fspeed / 8 )

end

function FirstSpawn( ply )

ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER,"Welcome to Engborg's server!")

end

hook.Add( “PlayerInitialSpawn”, “playerInitialSpawn”, FirstSpawn )

#13

if ply:IsAdmon() then

i think you missspelled that a bit it should be:
if ply:IsAdmin() then

#14

haha, yeah thanks.

i’ve fixed the other thing now but i’m not starting with the fists, i’m starting without any weapon at all.

#15

You’re not called PlayerLoadout. You have too many ends as well. Change your PlayerSpawn function to:
[lua]function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )

ply:SetGravity( 0, 1 )
ply:setMaxHealth( 100, true )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 200 )
ply:SetRunSpeed( 300 )

GAMEMODE:PlayerLoadout( ply )

end[/lua]

I removed the second end you had (which is causing errors that prevent the file from loading) and called the loadout function.
