[Yaki]

Yaki updated [VScript] give_tf_weapon with a new update entry:

3.2

• Updates tables.nut
  • Removed all ID2's from every weapon entry that had null in them.

    • Moved all entries into TF_WEAPONS class + TF_WEAPONS_ALL array

i've been wondering, how do i use additive-value attributes? for example, this stat that's probably a MvM one: "attack projectiles"

Heya! Attributes like "attack projectiles" work additively, so that means it adds a number instead of multiplies it.
For reference, Leezo compiled a list of all the attributes that work in Hammer. Keep in mind this was before VScript, but it does still have relevant info for how attributes work here

I'm not sure why but the Golden Frying Pan renders as the Regular Frying Pan when I give it to a player? Is there any way to fix this or am I missing something?

Yeah, I'm actually not really sure either. It has the correct index in the tables.nut.
I tried applying "item style override" but that didn't work either.

If I knew what attributes an actual Gold Frying Pan had, I could add it to the script.

 

[GregoryTheGamer1112]

I probably missed something but can you use custom models for your weapons? (like the viewmodel uses that custom model and such, provided you have the necessary models in your files?) or are you only allowed to use the in-game weapons? I just wanna make sure that is something I could do? Also on a similar case could I make it so a weapon that uses projectiles uses a custom model for them? (I believe it could be done given the Air Strike exists but idk how that is handled exactly?)

Yes, RegisterCustomWeaponEx() has a parameter for changing custom world models and custom view models.
And the projectile model could be changed with the attribute "custom projectile model". I'm saying could because we can't use strings in attribute using vscript yet.

 

[greenhead]

would it be possible to give a weapon to a specific player by nickname?

Alright so uh for some reason the little view of your character in third person (that's near the health on the hud) doesn't seem to make use of the custom model, they just hold whatever the normal version of the weapon that is being used is (so for example if you use a Saxxy as the base, they just hold the Saxxy instead of the model you defined) idk if there's a way to fix this or its just a limitation of the script
Edit: Going into thirdperson shows both the custom weapon model, and the original model at the same time, that means both models are being rendered in third person for some reason, idk how to fix this?

Is it possible to turn Weapon reverts plugin into vscript? https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2717299

 

[SnickerPuffs]

Would it be possible to set up a consecutive shot bonus, like how the Gunslinger's three-hit-crit works?

I'm working with someone to design weapon concepts and test them out in-game using this VScript, and one of our ideas is a pistol that ignites victims after every 9th consecutive shot.

Yaki updated [VScript] give_tf_weapon with a new update entry:

3.2.4

• Trying to get it compatible with MvM / upgrade stations.
  • Added variable CVAR_GTFW_OVERWRITE_WEAPONS under _master.nut
    • true by default
    • true = weapon in slot is deleted before making the new weapon (via GiveWeapon)
    • false = weapon in slot is not deleted. Instead, the item definition index is changed so the weapon can store upgrades from upgrade stations. It supports custom weapons, too!
      • (it's recommended to reset the stats by...
