Spawning without Portal gun [Fixed]

pac0master · 2015-09-02T02:50:18Z

Hey guys. I am encountering a little problem which become very annoying. Is there a way to start a map and spawn without a portal gun? I tried to Strip the gun on spawn but it is not very efficient and sometime we have to either move or wait a fraction of second before the gun is stripped. That's quite annoying. Sure. I can change the name of the map but the point is to keep with the standard: sp_a1, etc. Thanks for your time.

Hey. Well, if I remember correctly, yours was a mod, right? there's a script that controls what kind of portalgun is given to the player according to the map's name: "portal2/scripts/transitions/sp_transition_list.nut". Check out this part of code inside it:

DumpMapList()

&nbsp; &nbsp;local portalGunCommand = &quot;&quot;
&nbsp; &nbsp;local portalGunSecondCommand = &quot;&quot;
&nbsp; &nbsp;local foundMap = false
&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;foreach (index, map in MapPlayOrder)
&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if (MapPlayOrder[index] == FIRST_MAP_WITH_GUN)
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;portalGunCommand = &quot;give_portalgun&quot;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;else if (MapPlayOrder[index] == FIRST_MAP_WITH_UPGRADE_GUN)
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;portalGunSecondCommand = &quot;upgrade_portalgun&quot;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;else if (MapPlayOrder[index] == FIRST_MAP_WITH_POTATO_GUN)
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;portalGunSecondCommand = &quot;upgrade_potatogun&quot;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if (GetMapName() == MapPlayOrder[index])
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;break
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;}

&nbsp; &nbsp;TryDisplayChapterTitle()
&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;if (portalGunCommand != &quot;&quot; &amp;&amp; GetMapName() != &quot;sp_a2_intro&quot; &amp;&amp; GetMapName() != &quot;sp_a3_01&quot; )
&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl( &quot;=======================Trying to run &quot; + portalGunCommand )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFire( &quot;command&quot;, &quot;Command&quot;, portalGunCommand, 0.0 )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFire( &quot;@command&quot;, &quot;Command&quot;, portalGunCommand, 0.0 )
&nbsp; &nbsp;}

&nbsp; &nbsp;if (portalGunSecondCommand != &quot;&quot;)
&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl( &quot;=======================Trying to run &quot; + portalGunSecondCommand )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFire( &quot;command&quot;, &quot;Command&quot;, portalGunSecondCommand, 0.1 )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFire( &quot;@command&quot;, &quot;Command&quot;, portalGunSecondCommand, 0.1 )
&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;
}

// --------------------------------------------------------
// TransitionFromMap
// --------------------------------------------------------
function DumpMapList()
{
&nbsp; &nbsp;if(DBG)
&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local mapcount = 0
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;================DUMPING MAP PLAY ORDER&quot;)
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;foreach( index, map in MapPlayOrder )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;// weed out our transitions
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if( MapPlayOrder[index].find(&quot;@&quot;) == null )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if( GetMapName() == MapPlayOrder[index] )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl( mapcount + &quot; &quot; + MapPlayOrder[index] + &quot; &lt;--- You Are Here&quot; )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;else
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl( mapcount + &quot; &quot; + MapPlayOrder[index] )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;mapcount++
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl( mapcount + &quot; maps total.&quot; )
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;================END DUMP&quot;)
&nbsp; &nbsp;}
}

You could try to alter the script if you know Vscripting (Squirrel) in order to make it give the right portalgun (or none at all) based in your maps names...
