Change active NPC?

[JkWhoSaysNi]

Hello, how can I change the active (the one that gets used when you press D) weapon npc through code? I guess it could be done through a trigger, but i dont know the name of it.

thanks for any help

wtf are you talking about? If you're talking about just changing the selected weapon, here.

PHP Code:


for (i = 0; i < weaponscount; i++) { //loop through the weapons
  if (strequals(#w(i),WEAPONNAME)) {  //check to see if the weapons index i is equal to what you want to change the weapon to
   selectedweapon = i; //change the selected weapon
   break; //end the loop
  }
}

hrm i think selectedweapon is the id of the current weapon
you could loop through the player.weapons array and use weapon.name to get the name
like

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated(){

  for(i=0;i<=player.weapons.size();i++){

    if(player.weapons[i]=="weaponname")

      selectedweapon=i;

  }

}

---

edit: damn too slow

Okay, you just did the same exact thing I did. Selectedweapon is the current weapon, its writable.

but yours is gs1 =(

actually, i found a better way.

PHP Code:

player.weapon = findweapon("Weapon Name"); 


However, it doesnt update the icon in the interface or make it selected in the Q menu.

well at wiki it says player.weapon is read only

[Admins]

May be selectedweapon = player.weapons.index(findweapon(weaponname)) ?
