[VScript] The index 'GetPrimaryAmmoCount' does not exist

[vtf]

Hi, im new to vscript, and i have no fucking clue what im doing. I get the error that "GetPrimaryAmmoCount" does not exist when i run my .nut file.

function OnPostSpawn()
{
    printl("VScript succesfully loaded")
}
function GetPrimaryAmmoCount()

local primaryAmmoCount = activator.GetPrimaryAmmoCount()
   printl(primaryAmmoCount)
}

Here's the full log:

the function is for weapons but you are using it on a player

the function is for weapons but you are using it on a player

How do you use it on weapons? I think its something along tf_weapon? sorry i have no clue

 

[gidi30]

use GetActiveWeapon() on the player to get the active weapon.

 

[vtf]

activator.GetActiveWeapon()?

 

[gidi30]

yes, you can also do activator.GetActiveWeapon().GetPrimaryAmmoCount() to do it in one step

 

[vtf]

function GetPrimaryAmmoCount()
{
  activator.GetActiveWeapon().GetPrimaryAmmoCount()
}

Gives a "The Index GetActiveWeapon does not exist"

 

[gidi30]

how are you calling the function

 

[vtf]

by a func_button targetting a logic_function named "pen" which points to the .nut file named "pen.nut" and has the parameter "GetPrimaryAmmoCount()" (btw the .nut file is locate in tf/scripts/vscripts

 

[TH3 D34DL3$$]

You need to pass player to the function, like

function GetPrimaryAmmoCount( player )
{
    player.GetActiveWeapon().GetPrimaryAmmoCount()
}

 

[vtf]

The function gives a error saying not enough parameters

 

[TH3 D34DL3$$]

function GetPrimaryAmmoCount( player )
{
    player.GetActiveWeapon().GetPrimaryAmmoCount()
}

GetPrimaryAmmoCount( activator )
