Ply:Give() -- non-default weapons

[Zmaster]

I really hate coming here every time I need help with something
It just feels weird
But I can't figure this one out


I installed an addon on to the server that added weapons using the CSS models for weapons
When I go to the ULX menu and spawn in an AK-47 from there, it'll work:


But when I put this in the code of the gamemode, it doesn't give me anything
ply:Give("ptp_cs_ak47")

ply is defined
The stuff around it works fine
I get no errors when I run the code

Here is "the stuff around it"

Code: Lua

1. if ply:Team() == TEAM_PRISONER then
2.         ply:SetHealth(ply:GetMaxHealth())
3.         ply:StripWeapons()
4.         ply:StripAmmo()
5.         ply:SetWalkSpeed(230)
6.         ply:SetRunSpeed(350)
7.         ply:AllowFlashlight(true)
8.         ply:SetArmor(0)
9.     elseif ply:Team() == TEAM_GUARD then
10.         ply:SetHealth(ply:GetMaxHealth())
11.         ply:SetWalkSpeed(230)
12.         ply:SetRunSpeed(350)
13.         ply:AllowFlashlight(true)
14.         ply:SetArmor(0)
15.         ply:Give("ptp_cs_ak47")
16.     end

I looked up Player.Give on the gmod wiki (the outdated one because it's better) and it told me that it only works with default items supplied by the game: https://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/w...x61ee.html
That being said, how would I go about giving a player a non-default weapon



(and maybe if you know how to solve this, reply there)

If I remember right, I managed to use ply:Give() with gamemode weapons (in case it was in TTT - custom ones too). When it comes to addons, I'm not sure, but try installing the addon into the gamemode if possible?

Try putting the weapons in garrysmod/gamemodes/(gamemodename)/entities/weapons/.

[Zmaster]

nope
still not working

I put the "ptp_cs_ak47.lua" file in garrysmod/gamemodes/zjailbreak/entities/weapons
The player still isn't given the weapon
I still get no errors

Hello there,
then it looks like something is wrong with the weapon, are you sure you are not getting ANY errors when the server starts?

Please do post your code of the weapon.

There were no errors that have anything to do with the gun/gamemode

Here's the code for the gun

1. if ( SERVER ) then

oh boy
I found the problem
I feel dumb :C

The problem fell under my DPanel buttons that Neku and Decicus helped me with earlier
When I was typing it out, I accidentally typed 0 instead of 1 on the ply:SetGamemodeTeam in the guard section

Code: Lua

1. net.Receive( "ChoiceIsGuard", function( len, ply )
2.         ply:SetGamemodeTeam( 0 )
3.         ply:KillSilent()
4.         ply:SetModel("models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl")
5.         ply:Spawn()
6. end )

In other words, the guard button set the client to the prisoner team
So whenever my GM:PlayerSpawn would check to see if the person is on the guard team to see if it should give them an AK47, they would always be a prisoner

Thanks for the help again, Neku and Decicus
You two are a great help
