Weapons in GTA 2 Coding
A guard with no gun is pretty pointless, so the script below will allow you to give your characters, and even the player, weapons. You can only give characters one weapon, but they have infinite rounds, but you can give the player as many weapons as you like, but you can specify how much ammo you give him otherwise it will be default. This is also true for vehicles as well, such as the Tanks battle cannon or the Jeeps machine gun.

If you want to give a mission character of vehicle, just copy an example:
GIVE_WEAPON ( name , weapon )
GIVE_WEAPON ( name , weapon , ammount of ammo )The name can either be a created character, a car or a player. An example could be:
GIVE_WEAPON ( p1, pistol , 50 )This would give the player p1 a pistol with 50 rounds of ammunition. Simple.
Weapon Generators
Generators are usually found by gang phones and spawn a weapon or other item after a set amount of time for ever until it is switched off by a command. They can only be of the types in the table below, which include the icon they create in-game.

Any numbers left out of here (e.g. COLLECT_07) has nothing affiliated to it, but they can actually be used for making special weapons or something. If you put down the Vehicle Instant Bomb, a wierd blue letter I will appear. You will have to make some new graphics to use this.
To use these in your script, just use the following commands:
GENERATOR uniquename = ( X , Y , Z ) rotation object-type mindelay max delay ammoSo, you could have one like this:
GENERATOR flamer01 = ( 10.5 , 42.5 , 3.0 ) 0 COLLECT_08 1500 1500 20And after a set amount of time, this generator will appear. Since the generators are default set to OFF, you need to switch them on. To do this, type this in after the LEVELSTART command:
SWITCH_GENERATOR ( uniquename , ON )
SWITCH_GENERATOR ( uniquename , OFF )The latter is best used for a mission only, and so won’t be included when the player does nothing.
Powerups Which Do Not Respawn
Instead of making a generator that produces weapons, you can make one-off powerups by using the OBJECT_DATA command. Below is an example of a single flamethrower pickup but any generator type can be used:
OBJECT_DATA weapon = ( 127.5 , 127.5 , 2.0 ) 180 COLLECT_08 // flamethrowerThe ammo given is the default setting (such as 10 for machine gun) and cannot be changed. This is just a very basic powerup.
