Team Colored Armor? How?

[Nuk3m]

Hey, I am working on a map, and dont know how to make the armor team colored, right now I have blue armor for all of the teams. How do I make it multi colored?

[Dr.Satan]

idk if there are multi-colored...best way would be to open up the model browser and search for armour (yes that's how it's spelled in the lua so search for it with that spelling) and see what models come up.

And actually looking at that file, there is no other model...your stuck with blue unless you reskin a new model...

I know the basics of it.

When you place armor in a map, you have to do like info_ff_armorblahblahtits or something.

For custom armor models, you'd basically have to make an entity, choose the model, and set up the output.

Pm squeek. about it, he's in charge of the Lua Assitance Division. He's a fine LAD who can probably help you out with this. Also, he's awesome.

I pm'd you on steam...it's really not tough if the models do exist...just need to reference them. Reply back when you have a moment.

If they intended them to be teamcolored you can probably alter the color by choosing a different skin in the entity properties.. like skin 1 instead of skin 0. dunno to lazy to check.

armorkit = genericbackpack:new({
	armor = 200,
	cells = 150,
	model = "models/items/armour/armour.mdl",
	modelskin = 0,
	materializesound = "Item.Materialize",	
	touchsound = "ArmorKit.Touch",
	botgoaltype = Bot.kBackPack_Armor
})

blue_armor = armorkit:new({ modelskin = 0, touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kBlue} })
red_armor = armorkit:new({ modelskin = 1, touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kRed} })
yellow_armor = armorkit:new({ modelskin = 2, touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kYellow} })
green_armor = armorkit:new({ modelskin = 3, touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kGreen} })

Name the info_ff_script's red_armor, blue_armor, etc. Should work, but it's untested. Working on the rest of murderball's lua at the moment.

Mines shorter! But, it wasn't much trouble at all so don't worry about it.

yeah i didn't think of defining it in the parent and then changing it after the fact for some reason...
