Ok, so I know you have to make a new key under the game_player_equop, for the weapon you want (in my case, an HE nade). I have the timer ready, and I want to try to equip the player with a nade every 2 seconds.

I just can't figure how to make the G_P_E give the player a nade when the timer goes, since there isn't a direct option to "give item" under the G_P_E's inputs.

Before you ask, this is for a map I'm making for some people to help with their grenade aim...

Bah, it's not that hard of a question is it?

Ok, here's what I've tried so far...

I made a logic_timer. Time set to 1 second. On the timer, I told it to output to a math_counter entity, and to tell it to multiply by -1. The math_counter was set to 1 originally, so this sets it to -1, then 1, then -1 etc, every second. I made the math_counter entity output to a logic_relay, and tell it to enable when the counter reads 1, and disable when the counter reads -1.

The g_p_e is set to equipe the player when the logic_relay is on.

I figured this little ingenious way would work, but it's still not giving my a nade every 2 seconds... I get a nade at the beginning, and after that it does nothing.

Maybe the game_player_equip can only be fired once?

I really want to get this to work, so please somebody pipe up.

all you should have to do is have a logic_timer that goes off every 2 seconds and triggers game_player_equip

And the problem with that is that I can't trigger the game_player_equip.

I can set the GPE to go off when a logic_relay is active, and have that entity be enabled and disabled every 2 seconds, but it only works the first time.

I believe player Equip is intended for the begining of the round only. What you need to do is set up points to spawn grenades in. Use the logic timer to trigger a point template. I would give you an example map, but I can't to get weapons into CSS maps at all.

i have to dis agree with crash and say that player quip can be used after the start time. in one of my maps i placed a trigger and a player equip which was linked to the trigger which was a trigger once. although i didnt add a logic timer which i will after this post. there were too many wepons spawning and it got out of hand. so with this i will and a logic timer. the player equip does work unless im wrong and it is another entity that i have used but i cant check because im in school. later i will reply with what i used and hopefully might shine some more light on what type of entity to use. Also i will experament with diffrent types of entities in which to use to get the proper way to spawn weapons correctly.
