pistol unequip

I really need some coding help:

In Lai_events

under LAi_CharacterAttack()

I want to unequip the gun under certain (blade-) conditions:

1) if(CheckAttribute(attack, "equip.blade") && attack.equip.blade == "blade1")
{
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, GUN_ITEM_TYPE);
}


2) RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, GUN_ITEM_TYPE );

1) doesn´t work but 2) on it´s own does.

I´ve tried a lot of variations but no use when you not "speak the language".

What to do? Please help, this may be a fun thing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
Try using "<i>if(attack.equip.blade == "blade1")</i>". Even if a character doesn't have a blade at all, he/she still has the equip.blade attribute. You can, for example, check if somebody doesn't have a blade using "<i>if(attack.equip.blade == "")</i>". In my bladedamage mod, the line "<i>if(attack.equip.blade != "bladeX4")</i>" seems to be working just fine, so I don't see why your code shouldn't work.

Insert a Trace before, and another one inside the if block, then look in the compile.log

I.e:


Trace("JK - LAi_CharacterAttack - Before IF " + attack.equip.blade + " - " + attack + " - " + GUN_ITEM_TYPE);
if(CheckAttribute(attack, "equip.blade") && attack.equip.blade == "blade1")
{
Trace("JK - LAi_CharacterAttack - Inside IF " + attack + " - "+ GUN_ITEM_TYPE);
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, GUN_ITEM_TYPE);
}


Luck.
 
Not a two-handed & not a blade.

Thanks Pieter, I`ll try this.

Thank you kblack, I´ll do as you say.
 
a pair of fist's <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Boxing!
 
Not a pair & not fists. 16 questions left.

Sorry to say but nothing helped.

Last 4 lines in compile log:

Gauging: Enc Officers
JK - LAi_CharacterAttack - Before IF blade1 - - gun
JK - LAi_CharacterAttack - Inside IF - gun
SETTING MUSIC: music_bitva

Guess this tells me that the game IS reading here.
 
Now I tested this:

if(CheckAttribute(attack, "equip.blade") && attack.equip.blade == "blade1")
{
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, BLADE_ITEM_TYPE);
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, GUN_ITEM_TYPE);
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, FLASK_ITEM_TYPE);
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, POUCH_ITEM_TYPE);
}


blade & pouch worked, not flask or gun. What is going on? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

No idea, really.

Suggestions:

- Dump the structure of object "attack" (guess attack has ben defined as aref or ref ) - Look in tools directory, there are a file by NK that tells you how to do that (among other things)

- Verify that GUN_ITEM_TYPE and FLASK_ITEM_TYPE are defined and have correct values

- Go into RemoveCharacterEquip sub and analize the code.

Luck

What the HECK???? I did notice something with the pistols not working though: Quick-equip pistol button. Still beats me why. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
oooooh, let mes guess you are making one of those boarding cutlasses with a flintlock attached to it at the grip?
 
club yes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />
 
You have won a very valuable DUTCH painting.

I´m not sure how to insert an image.

Think I got it finally:
These lines are ok

if(CheckAttribute(attack, "equip.blade") && attack.equip.blade == "blade1")
{
RemoveCharacterEquip(attack, GUN_ITEM_TYPE );
}


if NOT inserted under

if(CheckAttribute(attack, "equip.blade")) // NK just in case.
{


but instead before it

Is this something that may help the blade damage mod? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />
 
good a DUTCH painting, i`ll hang it above my bed!! I am very curious about you club, we need more weapons, that club is good for those thugs in the towns.
