Custom Starting Weapon

Change the starting weapon on your map

Basic

Add a single starting weapon for everybody

1. Open your map's GSC file in usermaps/scripts/zm
2. In your main() function, add:

level.start_weapon = (getWeapon("GUN_NAME"));

3. Replace GUN_NAME with the internal name for the weapon

Scripted

Add a scripted event to decide the starting weapon

1. If you haven't already, copy zm_usermap.gsc from Call of Duty Black Ops III/share/raw/scripts/zm
2. In your maps folder in usermaps, paste zm_usermap.gsc into scripts/zm

Randomized from list

1. Inside the main() function under load::main(); in the pasted zm_usermap.gsc, add:

level.start_weapons = [];
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_ONE";
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_TWO";
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_THREE";

2. Find the giveCustomLoadout() function and replace it with this:

function giveCustomLoadout( takeAllWeapons, alreadySpawned )
{
    self GiveWeapon( level.weaponBaseMelee );  // Knife

    if( !IsDefined( level.start_weapons ) || level.start_weapons.size == 0 )
    {
        self zm_utility::give_start_weapon( true );  // Fallback
        return;
    }

    random_index = RandomInt( level.start_weapons.size );
    start_wep_str = level.start_weapons[ random_index ];
    start_wep = GetWeapon( start_wep_str );

    self GiveWeapon( start_wep );
    //self GiveMaxAmmo( start_wep );  // Full ammo
    self SwitchToWeapon( start_wep );  // Auto-switch
}

Set Weapon Per Character

1. Inside the main() function under load::main(); in the pasted zm_usermap.gsc, add:

level.start_weapons = [];
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_ONE";
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_TWO";
level.start_weapons[level.start_weapons.size] = "GUN_THREE";

2. Find the giveCustomLoadout() function and replace it with this:

function giveCustomLoadout( takeAllWeapons, alreadySpawned )
{
	self GiveWeapon( level.weaponBaseMelee );
	if( !IsDefined( level.start_weapons ) || level.start_weapons.size == 0 )
    {
        self zm_utility::give_start_weapon( true );  // Fallback
        return;
    }

	start_wep_str = level.start_weapons[ random_index ];
    start_wep = GetWeapon( self.characterIndex );

    self GiveWeapon( start_wep );
    //self GiveMaxAmmo( start_wep );  // Full ammo
    self SwitchToWeapon( start_wep );  // Auto-switch
}
