[SOLVED] Error In My Weapon Pickup Script Somewhere (not working standard edition)

[Defranco]

Good day;

 

I've been following Rick's weapon pickup tutorial to the letter (or I think I have) as well as the adaptation of the code by Macklebee where he changed it from a gun to a melee weapon called Gladious.

 

I was able to get the pickup script to work when I was using just the Indie version. And I think that when I upgraded to Standard and compiled things in CPP that it perhaps broke something within the scripts. At the moment I'm not proficient enough with coding to fully understand what could be wrong. If someone could take a peak and perhaps point me in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated.

 

---------------------------------------------

--FPSWeapon.Lua - the script that is attached to the prefab of the weapon.

 

import "Scripts/AnimationManager.lua"

Script.offset = Vec3(.5,-.5,.3) --vec3 "Offset"

--used to set the location of the weapon in relationship to the fpsplayer's camera

 

function Script:Start()

--self.entity:SetRotation(45,180,0) --cant set it here unless you change the fpsplayer script

-- fpsplayer script sets the weapons rotation to (0,0,0) after it has been loaded

self.fired = 0 --

self.animationmanager = AnimationManager:Create(self.entity)--sets up animationmanager

end

 

function Script:Fire() --using this just so i dont have to mess with the fpsplayer script

self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("swing",0.05,300,1)

--Parameters = (sequence, speed, blendtime, mode)

-- sequence equal to "swing" animation in model

-- speed controls how fast to play animation

-- blendtime controls how fast it changes from the previous animation

-- mode controls whether animation plays once or loops.

end

 

function Script:Reload() --using this becaue inherent fpsplayer script calls this function when R is hit

self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("idle",0.05,300,1)

end

function Script:BeginJump() -- called from fpsplayer

end

function Script:BeginLand() -- called from fpsplayer

end

 

function Script:Draw()

Other things to note;

 

vModel option does have the pfb file attached under the script

Shape: None

Physics: tried both trigger and prop.

 

 

When I add a weapon.pfb (either the gun or the gladious) to my Player at start-up (when it has FPSPlayer.lua script attached, the weapon has no function, and no animation, just a pfb on screen visuals load.

What is the error you are getting?

[Defranco]

I'm not actually getting an error;

 

When I walk onto the item, or csg that is set as trigger, and that has both the weaponpickup.lua script, and weapon.pfb atached, it does nothing. It doesn't add the weapon to the player (but does in indie version)

 

I tried it in debug mode, and wasn't receiving any error

[AggrorJorn]

When you walk up to the weapon, is it removed from the scene?

[Defranco]

No, no hand icon.

 

Only when I remove the script, and set it to prop with a weight does it show a hand icon. Then I can pick it up like a regular prop object.

 

Once I add the script, it doesn't allow that anymore - doesn't matter if its a prop or trigger in physics, not getting a hand.

 

 

 

The weapon is not removed from the scene.

[Defranco]

Ok,

 

I got a single csg to work with it. I drew a simple square box, set it to trigger, added the script and .pfb. It worked.

 

But its not working when I use an .mdl or .pfb that has "limbs" or attachments to the scene.

 

Basically, I want to walk into a sword, and have it pickup a sword. I dont want to run into a box, to pick up a sword.

 

[Defranco]

Ok, wow. oooooooppss!

 

I set the parent of the item that I wanted to run into with Box option, and trigger together.

 

Then I checked "show physics" and it finally turned on.

 

Now, when I walk into the object (mdl, or pfb, it picks it up and removed the item from the game and puts it on the player)

 

So thats solved.

 

 

Now I need to get it to fire/animate, hehe.

[Defranco]

So I guess the issue was the object I was walking into had no physics. So how could it interact with the player?

 

Thanks Aggror, as soon as you asked me about it removing from the scene, that's where I looked into.

I remember in my tutorial that I put csg around the gun model for the collision and painted it with the invisible material.
