Disable "jump pad" via LUA

[GambiT]

how to? whats the code?

[Rutabeggar]

Dunno the code, but it should be removed altogether.

[trepid_jon]

You can disable them by removing and never giving kManCannon ammo.

You'd essentially have to add a RemoveAmmo in player_onspawn, and set your bag's mancannons variable to 0...and cap points...and whatever else gives mancannons.

[GambiT]

ok thanks.

[DD`]

function player_spawn( player_entity )
	local player = CastToPlayer( player_entity )
	player:RemoveAmmo( Ammo.kManCannon, 1 )
end

Just incase you haven't worked it out yet.

You also need to edit these to not give mancannon ammo:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Grenade Backpack
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
grenadebackpack = genericbackpack:new({
	mancannons = 1,
	gren1 = 2,
	gren2 = 2,
	model = "models/items/backpack/backpack.mdl",
	materializesound = "Item.Materialize",
	respawntime = 30,
	touchsound = "Backpack.Touch",
	botgoaltype = Bot.kBackPack_Grenades
})

function grenadebackpack:dropatspawn() return false end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Capture Points
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
basecap = trigger_ff_script:new({
	health = 100,
	armor = 300,
	grenades = 200,
	shells = 200,
	nails = 200,
	rockets = 200,
	cells = 200,
	detpacks = 1,
	mancannons = 1,
	gren1 = 4,
	gren2 = 4,
	item = "",
	team = 0,
	botgoaltype = Bot.kFlagCap,
})

Either delete those or change to 0

They are in the base_teamplay.lua.

anyway to return caltrops and scanner?

[Dr.Satan]

no...I'm 99.9 % positive the devs have removed all commands associated with those.

[Jiggles]

Radar is definitely gone, though I'm not exactly sure what AS did to disable caltrops...

[Mr. Happy]

Why

Please say this isn't for rock2

[GambiT]

i'm not going to disable it for Rock2, but there will be alot of places that you cant build them.

well then disabling them that way isn't the way to go...what you want / need to do is to nocannon code or some other clever name that mimics the noannoyances code.

[GambiT]

nobuild "should" work, right??

[greenday5494]

then you have no SGs or disp being built there either

that and I don't know that nobuild covers jumppad...I'll check my 2.0 install and let you know though!

EDIT: Ok here is the code for a nobuild:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- No builds: area where you can't build
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nobuild = trigger_ff_script:new({})

function nobuild:onbuild( build_entity )
	return EVENT_DISALLOWED 
end

no_build = nobuild

so anytime someone tries to "build_entity" then it is denied. I don't have access to the game code but I would assume that the detpack and mancannon are built off of the same (or reletively close to each other) code b/c of the way they are "built" in game. I think that mancannonc and detpack are different then Sg / disp. in that they are not "build_entities" and are defined as something different (at least that's how I would do it!). I would assume it is coded under "explode_entity" with the same build mechanics as the detpack but with a different time (not custom) and cast to scout instead of to demo!

Again I wouldn't know without access to the game code cause I can't find that stuff in .lua as it's a core mechanic and not changeable AFAIK. But if it is an "explode_entity" then you would need a code like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- No Mancannon: Can not build a mancannon / jump pad
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nomancannon = trigger_ff_script:new({})

function nomancannon:onbuild( explode_entity )
	if IsMancannon( explode_entity ) then
		return EVENT_DISALLOWED
	end
	return EVENT_ALLOWED
end

again that's assuming the mancannon is defined as an explode_entity and not as a build_entity. If it's a build entity then you should just have to replace the explode part with build and that will solve it cause it will allow anything that is a "build_entity" as long as it is not Mancannon. Also my code might be wrong, but I'm about 95% confident that it is right.

[greenday5494]

it does. congestues, made before 2.0, has a really annoying nobuild in the yard, and you cant build jumppads

[Dr.Satan]

Ok...well if that's the case then you would need this (I think):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- No Mancannon: Can not build a mancannon / jump pad
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nomancannon = trigger_ff_script:new({})

function nomancannon:onbuild( build_entity )
	if IsMancannon( build_entity ) then
		return EVENT_DISALLOWED
	end
	return EVENT_ALLOWED
end
