Physgun/Toolgun out = godmode

[richlen99]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a quick little script for my server, so people (whom are lazy might I add) won't have to type !(un)god when they have a physgun/toolgun out, to aid in building.


Here's what I've got so far, and I don't know where to go from here.

Code: Lua

1. hook.Add( "PlayerTick", "BuildMode", function(ply)
2.     if ply:GetActiveWeapon() == ( "gmod_tool" ) then
3.         timer.Create( "TOOLGUN", 1, 1, function()
4.             ply:ConCommand( "ulx god" )
5.             print("toolgun")
6.         end )
7.     elseif ply:GetActiveWeapon() == ( "weapon_physgun" ) then
8.         timer.Create( "PHYSGUN", 1, 1, function()
9.             ply:ConCommand( "ulx god" )
10.             print("physgun")
11.         end )
12.     elseif ply:GetActiveWeapon() ~= ( "gmod_tool" ) or ply:GetActiveWeapon() ~= ( "weapon_physgun" ) then
13.         timer.Create( "INVALIDWEP", 1, 1, function()
14.             ply:ConCommand( "ulx ungod" )
15.             print("otherwep")
16.         end )
17. end )

Think/Tick are expensive time constraints in Gmod for any code.
I'd look more into possible equip/select/deploy hooks before using a think every tick/frame.
It's been years since I tinkered, but poking into the wiki, tool:deploy might be a better hook.

Be warned though - even if you develop working code, exploits/cheaters will abuse this.
Imagine how easy it will be to switch from a weapon/pvp to a tool/god just to avoid being killed.

I believe this would work even better.  http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerSwitchWeapon
