Help with adding items to a zombies inventory and seeing them when the zombie dies.

[Chickenpiedude]

Hello, Im new to modding and I am trying to add a pistol or revolver to every zombie police officer's inventory to make the game more realistic. Ive used some code from Small Town Responders and from the wiki but nothing seems to be working. I think ive selected zombies using the GetZedX and GetZedY variables and I made an if statement checking if the zombie has either a police outfit, police state outfit or a police riot outfit. Im not sure how to carry on from there, I gave it a go though.

The code I used us below. Thanks

local function ROE_give_gear()
    -- Gets variables used
    local GetZed;
    local GetZedX;
    local GetZedY;
    local GetZedOutfitName;
    
    --Gets Zombies from world
    local GetZedList = getWorld():getCell():getZombieLost();
    
    if GetZedList ~= nil then
    for i=0, GetZedList:size()-1 do
        -- Get Zombie
        GetZed = GetZedList:get(i);
        -- Get Zombie X
        GetZedX = GetZed:getX();
        -- Get Zombie Y
        GetZedY = GetZed:getY();
        -- Get The Outfit The Zombie Is Wearing
        GetZedOutfitName = GetZed:getOutfitName();
                
        --Checks if Zombie is wearing a police outfit
        if GetZedX and GetZedY GetZedOutfitName == "Police" or GetZedOutfitName == "PoliceState" or GetZedOutfitName == "PoliceRiot" then
            local weapon = random(0,5) --generates a random num from 0 to 6
            if weapon = 0 then --Gives zed a sidearm and holster depending on number.
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Pistol")
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            elseif weapon = 1 then
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Pistol2") 
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            elseif weapon = 2 then
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Pistol3")
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            elseif weapon = 3 then
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Revolver_Short")
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            elseif weapon = 4 then
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Revolver")
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            elseif weapon = 5 then
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Revolver_Long")
                OnZombieDead.Add("Base.Holster")
                GetZed:reload
            end
        end
    end
end

Events.EveryOneMinute.Add(ROE_give_gear) --Checks every min, and changes if needed

That code will probably cause performance issues.  Hydrocraft used to do something similar for 'aging' items (and replacing them, e.g. replacing a cow with a hungry cow, or replacing a hungry cow with a dead cow) - and the performance hit was horrid on my machine.

You might be able to achieve what you want by editing the data in /media/lua/shared/Definitions/AttachedWeaponDefinitions.lua

 

Something like a lua file with the following code (untested):

 

AttachedWeaponDefinitions.handgunHolster.chance = 100

 

(The vanilla value is 50)

Thank you for the quick response!

I didnt know you could change that. I'll change it now and I'll see if it changes anything. Thanks again 👍🏻

It worked! Every officer I spawn in has either a pistol/revolver and a nightstick or a shotgun and a nightstuck. I changed the option you said above and I also increased the chance for officers to have at least one holster, one shotgun and a nightstuck (the option at the bottom). Thank you for your help
