Hi all, ive been trying to work around an issue in Dropzone and have had an idea as to how but need a little help. Is there a way to remove player weapons and ammo and calculate how much the player has? using e.g RemovePlayerWeapons(e) and addplayercash this way i could say add a vendor or even a zone whereas the player when he or she leaves the area has all the weapons bought on that level get removed but is compensated with cash and then the normal weapon could be just added on the no linear start level.. Has anyone done this? Thanks

Well, this would be complicated, Someone that has an idea of the weapon functions could. You would have to declare what weapon prices are in a table. You would need to get the weapon index. ChangePlayerWeaponID(id) this is one of the many functions dealing with weapons I pulled out of the global script. You would maybe do the same for ammo, and then the shop script would be simple once you have that.
In the shop script you would need to check the players weapons and match the weapons to the table you created before and give the player however much money,
Sorry I can't offer any more info but I have yet to delve into the ammo_pool or weapon functions due to things going on and work, I had to pause my scripting.

How about setting a global variable for each weapon, start it at 0 when you receive a weapon set it to 1, then on the new level the variable will carry over, you can then use a script to disarm your character and then for each variable that's 1 give you cash and reset the variable to 0

Thanks guys both ideas here sound interesting, i'll have to have a bash at something that way the player on leaving a dropzone could get some money back for weapons bought in that area, its not imperative but thought it'd or maybe just remove the weapons and have a reward for clearing the map plenty here to think on tho thanks
