HL2RP How to assign flags to weapons.

Does anyone know how to assign flags to weapons the same way that flags are assigned to the physgun and/or toolgun for characters? I want to be able to give conscripts weapons that they spawn with but only after they've completed training.

 

Anyone?

 

Thank you

 

Wait before I try to use this does this apply to the player or the character? Cause I need it to apply only to a character. Don't want someone getting teh weapon flag as an MPF and then spawning in as a citizen with an MP7 or something.

 

PlayerFlagsGiven is only called when a player has been given flags.

Code:

-- Called when a player has been given flags.
function Clockwork:PlayerFlagsGiven(player, flags)
    if (string.find(flags, "p") and player:Alive()) then
        self.player:GiveSpawnWeapon(player, "weapon_physgun");
    end;
   
    if (string.find(flags, "t") and player:Alive()) then
        self.player:GiveSpawnWeapon(player, "gmod_tool");
    end;
   
    player:SetSharedVar("flags", player:GetFlags());
end;

The thing that's actually causing the player to get the weapon every time they spawn is PlayerLoadout, or PlayerGiveWeapons.

Code:

-- Called when a player's weapons should be given.
function Schema:PlayerGiveWeapons(player)
    if (player:GetFaction() == FACTION_MPF) then
        Clockwork.player:GiveSpawnWeapon(player, "cw_stunstick");
    end;
end;

So you'd need to use both of these to get the result you're trying to achieve.

Flags are stored on the character not the player, so yes it's fine to use this in the way you intend to.

 

So last question, where would I put this in the server files?

 

sv_hooks.lua ctrl f find the function

 

Again where do I put these?

 

You don't put those anywhere, I'm just explaining what the functions do.
You can use those functions inside a plugin to achieve what you're trying to.

 

You've improved a lot, good job.
