sry for bugging you guys

[Jukki]

hi againg. i need help aging. This have been bugging me sometimes. i have entity mysery box and i want it to after use do sumthing here is my current state of code

void() mystery_buy =
{
if (other.classname != "player" && other.classname != "bot")
return;

other.buybox_time = time + 1;
};

void() usebox =
{

// THIS IS WHAT I NEED i know that self. blaah wont work beacause it would be for player not mystery box. and btw this function is caled else where if buybox time is bigger than time

void () mystery_box =
{
self.solid=SOLID_BBOX;
self.classname = "mystery";
setmodel (self, "progs/mystery.mdl");
precache_model ("progs/mystery.mdl");
setorigin(self, self.origin);
self.touch = mystery_buy;
};

coment explains what i need to know thx for help

What exactly are you trying to do? It's clear that you've created a new entity and that you're attempting to have it do something after a player (or bot) touches it, but it's not exactly clear what you want. Without more detail as to exactly what you're trying to accomplish, it's hard to provide very detailed help.

However, I'll try to provide what help I can based on what you've given so far. It seems that your main issue is that when usebox is called, you don't have a reference to the box you wish to manipulate handy. A simple way to fix this is to have mystery_buy set a field on other (the player) to point to itself. (Either add one or find one not used by players and bots.) Then in usebox, you can use self.whatever to get at the box.

However, there may a better way to do what you're trying to do, depending on how exactly you want the mystery box to function. So, once again, more details would be useful to provide better advice.

actualy never mind i got it working while ago but i have new problem. When i touch mbox and i type impulse 17 it activates mbox. It scrolls weapons and selects one by random. You must type impulse 17 againg in order to get that weapon BUT it pics it automaticaly (i dont want that feature) this is my code

Code: Select all

and this is in impulse commands

Code: Select all

   if (self.impulse == 17)
   {
      if (time < self.buykar_time && self.ammo_kar < 50)
         if (self.weapon == IT_KAR)
            Buykarammo ();
         else
            Buykar ();
      else if (time < self.buybox_time)
         usebox ();
      else if (time < self.takebox_time)
         takeboxweapon ();
   }
