Answered How do you change starting pistol in zombies?

[Victor Koulikov]

I've managed to change the perk limit by making my own script, by using BO3 tutorials and figuring out that "inti()" is like "main()" (At least that's how it seemed when I changed the perk limit). But when I applied the same logic to changing the starting weapon, nothing worked. I tried one line, level.start_weapon = getWeapon("m1911_zm") I tried this,
startingWeapon = "m1911_zm";
weapon = getWeapon(startingWeapon);
level.start_weapon = (weapon);"
I tried different spacing between level.perk_purchase_limit = 13; and the weapon line(s), nothing worked. I tried using a custom loadout function, but I think that's only in BO3. I don't understand why this simple code doesn't work. I would highly appreciate if someone knew how to code this specifically in BO2. If anyone is curious, this is the whole script. And in case anyone is wondering, I want to change it to the already default starting pistol because I want to have it in Origins for the Mustang and Sally.

//
//

init()
{
thread onplayerconnect();
//SetDvar("r_enablePlayerShadow", 1); // Causes laser flickering
level.perk_purchase_limit = 13;
}

onplayerconnect()
{
while(true)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player thread onplayerspawned();
player thread showConnectMessage();
}
}

onplayerspawned()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
displayMessage = true;
while(true)
{
self waittill( "spawned_player" );

}
}

showConnectMessage()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
self waittill( "spawned_player" );
self iprintln("^1Redacted^7: " + self.name);
}

self waittill( "spawned_player" );

}

Just do this.

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self waittill("spawned_player");
    self takeWeapon("m1911_zm");
    self giveWeapon(<weapon name>);
    self switchToWeapon(<weapon name>);
}

 

[Victor Koulikov]

Just do this.

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self waittill("spawned_player");
    self takeWeapon("m1911_zm");
    self giveWeapon(<weapon name>);
    self switchToWeapon(<weapon name>);
}

It doesn't work for me for some reason. I tried the whole script with just onPlayerSpawned() changed, I've tried it like this

onplayerspawned()
{
    self endon( "disconnect" );
    displayMessage = true;
    while(true)
    {
        self waittill( "spawned_player" );
        self takeWeapon("m1911_zm");
        self giveWeapon(<weapon name>);
        self switchToWeapon(<weapon name>);
    }
}

After some more looking I saw that ("spawned_player"); was actually ( "spawned_player" ) in the BO2 code (as I was pasting the code you wrote), I thought that would fix it, but no change, map doesn't load. My onplayspawn section looks like

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self waittill( "spawned_player" );
    self takeWeapon("m1911_zm");
    self giveWeapon(<weapon name>);
    self switchToWeapon(<weapon name>);
}

Well you need to actually replace <weapon name> thats just a place holder so you can put the weapon name you want there.

I'm stupid. Well, I changed it and the map loads, but the starting pistol is still the Mauser.

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self waittill("spawned_player");
    self takeWeapon("m1911_zm");
    self giveWeapon("m1911_zm");
    self switchToWeapon("m1911_zm");
}

EDIT: I have tested the Ray Gun Mark II, and it works. I feared that because the M1911 isn't in the map, it might not even be in the map code, so it doesn't work. :/ I really wanted to use the Mustang and Sally on Origins.

Ya I don't think its in that map at all. Its been replaced with the Mauser, like you said.

I wish I was knowledgeable enough on how to mod Redacted, so I can make map specific mods, where I can add the m1911. The help you gave me was still useful, I can spawn with the m1911 (or Mauser) and B23R at the same time.

There's one other line of code that I would really appreciate it if you could help me with. I want to increase player health in zombies, so it takes 3 hit to get down without Jugg. In inti() I wrote this line

SetDvar("g_player_maxhealth", 5000);

The map loads, so at least the code isn't wrong, but it doesn't have an effect, still 2 hits down. This seems like the code that should change it. If you don't know how to help with this code, that's fine. I appreciate your help, I was not expecting a response so soon. Thank you

self.health = 300;
self.maxhealth = self.health;

 

[Victor Koulikov]

self.health = 300;
self.maxhealth = self.health;

Map loads, still 2 hits to down. I've increased it to 1,000. Why doesn't it work?

gimme a couple min, I'll test it.

It works fine for me, show me how you're doing it.

    level.perk_purchase_limit = 13;
    self.health = 1000;
    self.maxhealth = self.health;
}

Sorry for late reply, internet went out for a bit.

Yeah don't run it on 'init' because that runs before player connection & spawning. You have to run it on onPlayerSpawned or after.

Thank you... very much. I have plenty of other questions, but I'll just open a separate topic for it, hopefully someone else can help out. Thank you.

Oh, thank you VERY much. I was hoping to find a BO2 scripting forum, I thought I would only find those in Redacted related forums. Thank you

I do apologize, but I have an issue, with the map Mob of the Dead. The health increase doesn't work, I believe it's because the code is set to when to player spawns, when you first spawn in MotD you are in Afterlife mode. I assume the health increase is set on Afterlife mode, it didn't seem to increase time or health in afterlife mode however.

It functions on every map, 4 hits down (also playing with a friend who hasn't play zombies since the BO1 days, want something easier to get them into the grooves again.), except on Nuketown, takes 5 hits down, tested several times. I tried adding the self.health code in the OnPlayerConnected section, map loads, and no health changes whatsoever are in effect.

Is there a function you know of that will allow the health to be set after the player is revived by themselves in Afterlife? Mob of the Dead was the map I wanted the health increase the most on, if you get downed without Jugg, on a round higher than 10, if you don't have money you're done for (If you're not really experienced and really good). I hope there is a function you might know of that can work. Regardless, thank you for trying, and helping me.

Yes, the health is automatically reset back to 100 when a player enters afterlife mode.

Here you go.

healthLoop()
{
    self.isHealthSet = undefined;
    while( true )
    {
        if(!self.afterlife && !isDefined(self.isHealthSet))
        {
            self.isHealthSet = true;
            self.health = 400;
            self.maxhealth = self.health;
        }
        else if(self.afterlife && isDefined(self.isHealthSet))
            self.isHealthSet = undefined;
        wait .05;
    }
}
