Examples
| Description | When a player picks up a weapon, they are told what they just picked up. |
|---|---|
| Used on | |
| Code | hook.Add("WeaponEquip", "Grabbin.Peelz", function(weapon) -- put everything inside this timer so it's called on the next frame. timer.Simple(0, function() local ply = weapon:GetOwner() -- no longer a null entity. ply:PrintMessage(3, "Picked Up: "..weapon:GetClass()) -- inform the player. end) end) |
| Output | Picked Up: <weapon name> Printed In The Players Chat |
Additional Notes
- At the time this hook is called, the weapon doesn't have an owner. wep:GetOwner will return a Null Entity. The Weapon Owner is set on the next frame. I found it easiest to use timer.Simple to get around this problem. As shown in the example above.
- Don't use this to prevent people picking up weapons. Use the Gamemode.PlayerCanPickupWeapon instead for that.
