I have this thing that needs to check if the player already has this weapon in the Deploy(); function, and if the player does have the weapon (e.g. AK-47) then it doesn't do anything but otherwise it's supposed to do something. The function I'm referring to is pPlayer->GetWeapon(); .

The code block:

bool CBaseHLCombatWeapon::Deploy( void )
{
// If we should be lowered, deploy in the lowered position
// We have to ask the player if the last time it checked, the weapon was lowered
if ( GetOwner() && GetOwner()->IsPlayer() )
{
CHL2_Player *pPlayer = assert_cast<CHL2_Player*>( GetOwner() );
//if (pPlayer->GetWeapon() <--- right here ) {
//here be something
//}
if ( pPlayer->IsWeaponLowered() )
{
if ( SelectWeightedSequence( ACT_VM_IDLE_LOWERED ) != ACTIVITY_NOT_AVAILABLE )
{
if ( DefaultDeploy( (char*)GetViewModel(), (char*)GetWorldModel(), ACT_VM_IDLE_LOWERED, (char*)GetAnimPrefix() ) )
{
m_bLowered = true;

// Stomp the next attack time to fix the fact that the lower idles are long
pPlayer->SetNextAttack( gpGlobals->curtime + 1.0 );
m_flNextPrimaryAttack = gpGlobals->curtime + 1.0;
m_flNextSecondaryAttack= gpGlobals->curtime + 1.0;
return true;
}
}
}
}

m_bLowered = false;
return BaseClass::Deploy();
}

Thank you for your help!

I'm making a mod similar to TFR in the 1980's, but I've hit a big roadblock: the game won't go past the "Initializing Game" text and crashes constantly in the same place at different times. If you'd like to help me, you can read the error log. Thank you for your continued service!
