[Useful]Strip weapons from players

[Q-Ball]

So, with this tutorial you'll be capable to strip weapons from all players on your map.

1. Create entity "info_player_teamspawn".
2. Create "trigger_multiple" (It will be the place where server strip the weapons from players).
3. For "trigger_multiple":

- "Delay before Reset" set it to 0 or less (I set it to 0.1)

4. In "Outputs":

- "My output named": OnStartTouch
- "Targets entities named": XXXX*
- "Via this input": kill
*XXXX - its names of *.ctx files which you can find here http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=1805

5. Compile and enjoy!

Hopefully that could be useful for someone besides myself

I'm am pretty sure there is a better way
(not needing sv_cheats)
opens hammer right now
EDIT: my method didnt work, but I just hate having to use sv_cheats

The same thing mate!
I only want to show one of the ways to do that.

figured it out
just have a big trigger_multiple or something else that triggers quite often.
and on output have
tf_weapon_Scattergun kill (if you want to remove all the scatterguns and FaN's)
use tf_weapon* to remove all weapons

I'll make some prefabs later

Perfect!

I can use this tutorial to make a Melee Cage that removes all non-melee weapons upon entering!

Any idea how this trigger could be set up to make it affect only those who touch it? Currently I have it at the entrance of a boxing ring and it's set up to remove all non-melee weapons however as soon as someone touches the trigger it removes weapons from the whole server and not just the person that touched it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

pretty sure, using !activator as the target will only happen to the player that touches it.

You could try having a trigger set up that sends a client comand to the players that are touching it to switch to a melee weapon. That's what I did on my boxing map.

Does this still work? I see other posts saying this causes crashes after the medic update.

A more appropriate solution would to set the weapon white list, since that is the provided way to manage weapon availability. Could a point_servercommand point it at a packed in file?

Henke, nobody likes point_servercommand. And probably nobody will run your map if you use it.

 

[henke37]

I don't think that anyone would like a map that messes with what weapons are allowed either. Using a disliked solution to solve a disliked problem seems fitting.

Ideally I want a zone that strips weapons only in that zone and not for the entire map. I have not found a solution for this.
