I want to get into mm programming but I want to know if I can do something first. Is it possible to make a plugin that once marines build two arms labs, they can use one for a weapon? Is it even slightly feasable to think that I can make them lose/drop their pistol?

this is my take on your post

I have absolutely no idea what your first request means... Use one arms lab for a weapon? Like a marine can pick it up and throw it at aliens? or leave it somewhere like a bomb and it explodes?
For the second, it's easy. just make the marine switch to their pistol and then drop it, juts like they do in game... I think the commands are "slot2" followed by "dropweapon"
that could be it, I really couldn't say
hmmm,
so does that mean we could then drop HMGs on the arms lab for marines to get once they respawned? Voudl the same be done for the proto lab so that they could get JP/HA as long as the comm "stored" them in there?
An idea... bad one, but still an idea.

Not sure if the menu idea would work with NS's borked message system. But its a better idea than the player discarding weapons till they get the right one.
Also another up-side is the entities of the weapons wouldnt be on the server when the comm does a load out. Would cut down on entities a tad. Another kewl idea would be for it to grab dropped weapons in a small radius of the armslab. (Anyone want thier pistol back?)
*feels a surge of insipration*
Ill grab the source for PhaseEQ, and see what I can do with it on tommorows nightshift.
With my coding skills tho, someone else will probably beat me to it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Dont know enough metamod, theres also not enough information out there for beginners.
If someone wants my (non-working) code to iron the bugs out of it, feel free to contact me.

Out of curiosity Skitzo, where is the source for this PhaseEQ plugin? Google doesn't turn up anything...
Ill be adding functionallity to it before its released.
drop me a line when it's done <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
