remove weaponry

remove weaponry

I've been scripting along for my third map quite a bit
In the process I must have hacked the update functions that removed weaponry from killed soldiers. Anyone knows which function takes care of that? (so I can add the original function to the hacked function...)

I don't think there is a Lua-function for that... But those weapons are Entities, so an Events.LOGIC_EVENT_ENTITY_DESTROYED-Trigger should detect them. The entitytypes are:

Entities.XD_DroppedAxeShield
Entities.XD_DroppedBow
Entities.XD_DroppedPoleArm
Entities.XD_DroppedShield
Entities.XD_DroppedSword
Entities.XD_DroppedSwordShield
Entities.XD_Evil_LeaderBearman1_Drop
Entities.XD_Evil_LeaderSkirmisher1_Drop

Entities.XD_DroppedAxeShield
Entities.XD_DroppedBow
Entities.XD_DroppedPoleArm
Entities.XD_DroppedShield
Entities.XD_DroppedSword
Entities.XD_DroppedSwordShield
Entities.XD_Evil_LeaderBearman1_Drop
Entities.XD_Evil_LeaderSkirmisher1_Drop

I only have a trigger on Events.LOGIC_EVENT_ENTITY_HURT_ENTITY in my script

Maybe i missunderstood you... What do you want to do with the weapons? Prevent them from being removed?

Hello AdeBont!

That's very easy. You cannot set an entity with these drop-models (I don't know why), but you can create new weaponries when the others are removed. The following code works in my map perfectly:

function FirstMapAction()
	Weaponries = {
		["XD_DroppedAxeShield"] = true,
		["XD_DroppedBow"] = true,
		["XD_DroppedPoleArm"] = true,
		["XD_DroppedShield"] = true,
		["XD_DroppedSword"] = true,
		["XD_DroppedSwordShield"] = true,
		["XD_Evil_LeaderBearman1_Drop"] = true,
		["XD_Evil_LeaderSkirmisher1_Drop"] = true,
		["XD_SoldierRifle1_Rifle"] = true,
		["XD_SoldierRifle2_Rifle"] = true,
	}
	Trigger.RequestTrigger(Events.LOGIC_EVENT_ENTITY_DESTROYED, "", "WeaponryHack", 1)
end

function WeaponryHack()
	local entity = Event.GetEntityID()
	local entityType = Logic.GetEntityTypeName(Logic.GetEntityType(entity))
	if Weaponries[entityType] then
		local position = GetPosition(entity)
		local orientation = Logic.GetEntityOrientation(entity)
		Message"Weaponry dropped"
		Logic.CreateEntity(Entities[entityType], position.X, position.Y, orientation, 0)
	end
end

Hope, this helps you.
