How could I detect if the player has a perk already in Scripting

Created on: October 24, 2016, 02:21:20 am

I'm trying to script a shootable perk bottle to give you a perk with reckfullies shootable trigger script, but modified.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts\zm\_zm_perks;
#insert scripts\zm\_zm_perks.gsh;

function init()
{
    level.shoot_quick_revive = 0;

    level thread shootable_perk_1();
}

function shootable_perk_1(player)
{
    trig_1 = GetEnt("shoot_perk_trig", "targetname");

    trig_1 SetHintString("");
    trig_1 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

    while(1)
    {
    	while(1)
    	{
        trig_1 waittill("trigger", player);

        IPrintLn("you have perk now ya boy");
		player zm_perks::give_perk( PERK_QUICK_REVIVE, false );

        break;
    	}
    }

 }

It gives me the perk, but I would like to have an if/else statement so it would display a different message if you already have the perk. I don't know what to put on the "if" part, can someone help me? thanks

You can use an engine function for this I'm pretty sure, just do:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if (player HasPerk(PERK_QUICK_REVIVE))
{
	//Do Something
}

The names do seem to be exactly the same.

Thank you, it worked perfectly. I have a problem though because I found out that you can get the perk while you are down. How could I change if (player HasPerk(PERK_QUICK_REVIVE)) so it detects if you have the perk OR if you are down?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function shootable_perk_1(player)
{
    trig_1 = GetEnt("perktrig_quick", "targetname");

    trig_1 SetHintString("");
    trig_1 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

    while(1)
    {
    	while(1)
    	{
        trig_1 waittill("trigger", player);

        if (player HasPerk(PERK_QUICK_REVIVE))
		{
			IPrintLn("no no no you can not have the perko");
			wait(3);
		}
		else
		{
        IPrintLn("your pals go up fast now");
		player zm_perks::give_perk( PERK_QUICK_REVIVE, false );
		wait(3);
		}

        break;
    	}
    }

 }

This is the script now.

		wait(3);

        break;
    	}
    }

 }

This is the script now.

This should work(Haven't tested it though):

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(IsAlive(player))
{
    // Do Stuff
}

So you would do:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if (player HasPerk(PERK_QUICK_REVIVE) || !IsAlive(player))
{
	IPrintLn("no no no you can not have the perko");
	wait(3);
}
else
{
        IPrintLn("your pals go up fast now");
	player zm_perks::give_perk( PERK_QUICK_REVIVE, false );
	wait(3);
}

IsAlive doesnt seem to work, I am still able to receive the perk when down. I happened to find another function IsInSecondChance so i tried it:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if (player HasPerk(PERK_QUICK_REVIVE) || player IsInSecondChance())

It didn't work either.

Guess they changed how to worked or something since I'm pretty sure that was how you did it in waw.

I guess you could try this, I haven't tested it but here is the function from the scripting api:
