Only "name" can enter this vehicle

[kocrachon 2]

So, I was wondering if it is possible to make it so that only a person with a specific name or with a specific player ID are allowed to enter a specific vehicle, or type of vehicles.

Such as right now my squad runs a 24/7 Domination server that is locked for the Squad only. We have qualifications so that people who are qualified are the only ones who are allowed to. We also work this way in our coop missions.

So I want to make it so that if you aren't on "the list" that when you enter a vehicle it kicks you out and says "You are not qualified"

Right now we use a script that requires you to be a pilot to fly or a crewman to drive/gun, but that doesn't help too much because they can just take an empty pilot seat.

We don't have a lot of issues with people not obeying... but theres always some one who feels like being a funny guy once in a while, especially when booze are involved and no admins are on.

Hi,

You could try something like:

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn", 
{
private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];
_veh = _this select 0;
_pos = _this select 1;
_unit = _this select 2;
_namesArray = ["John", "_spiderMan_", "CowGirl"];

if !(name _unit in _namesArray) then
{
_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];
};
}];

Better to use playerId as names can be botched if using special characters or even same name.

Player id you find in player profile ingame start menu.

7 numbers.

replace names in array with ids then only the player with the correct id will be able to enter without being ejected.

replace this line: if !(name _unit in _namesArray) then

with: if !((getPlayerUID _unit) in _namesArray) then

and this line: _namesArray = ["John", "_spiderMan_", "CowGirl"];

with: _namesArray = ["1234567", "1122334", "2222222"];

with: _namesArray = ["1234567", "1122334", "2222222"];

Both ideas are great, thanks guys.

But my next question is, how do I call this script? As I said, I am using it on domination, and a lot of the aircraft are created upon doing missions.

[demonized 20]

i meant to use what neokika posted, just use playerId instead of names, because of potential cheating, and the odd letters sometimes used in names.

well you have locked all vehicles to clan members, simply find same spot and run neokikas script on everyone of them.

fex:

save neokikas script as vehiclelock.sqf

_vehicle = _this select 0;  // i added this line.

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn", 
{
private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];
_veh = _this select 0;
_pos = _this select 1;
_unit = _this select 2;
_namesArray = ["John", "_spiderMan_", "CowGirl"];

if !(name _unit in _namesArray) then
{
_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];
};
}];  

and run this line on every vehicle that is currently unlocked for clan only.

_null = [_vehiclename] execVM "vehiclelock.sqf";

and switch out names for player id if you want as i posted above.

So what do I do in Domination where the vehicles are created mid way through the game?

Is it possible to run a script server side that runs every minute or so, that checks for all helicopters, and applys this script to all helicopters? So that way every time I unlock one, or an AI one spawns and we shoot it down safely, it still applies the ruling to them?

[demonized 20]

you should be able to locate the spawned ones in the domi scripts somewhere, or the answer on how to is in the editing domination thread, probably along with a already complete lock system. remember there is a search button....

but yeah running a server side check will work, something like this:

a repeating 10 seconds trigger with:

cond: true

on act: paste this directly into trigger on act line, dont mind the spaces, use as is

{
if ((_x isKindOf "LandVehicle" OR _x iskindOf "Helicopter" OR _x isKindOf "Plane") AND _x getVariable ["locked", true]) then {
	_x setVariable ["locked", 123];
	_null = [_x] execVM "vehiclelock.sqf";
};
} foreach allUnits;

place this script in mission folder and save as vehiclelock.sqf:

_vehicle = _this select 0;  // i added this line.

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn", 
{
private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];
_veh = _this select 0;
_pos = _this select 1;
_unit = _this select 2;
_namesArray = ["1234567", "1122334", "2222222"];

// added check to make sure it does not affect any AI, only players. but AI in any playable unit will be kicked as well.
if (!(getPlayerUID _unit) in _namesArray AND _unit in playableUnits) then
{
_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];
};
}];

in theory it should check all units if they are landvehicle or staticweapon or heli or plane and if they have the script running then do nothing, else assign the script to it.

it will do this check every 10 seconds, i would recomend not using this as i think it will cause lag. but anywho, its something to check out.

It will only kick out playable units, wich means if AI is in playable units then those will be kicked as well, but script will run on server side only.

but again, search button, and search threads.

Note everything is untested, blind coded.

And not recomended as assigning it when a vehicle respawns or gets created is the best way, but it might work just fine, maybe tweak timer to 1 minute instead of 10 seconds etc..

replace names in array with ids then only the player with the correct id will be able to enter without being ejected.

...

_namesArray = ["1234567", "1122334", "2222222"];

Suppose I already have specific units (UIDs) belonging to a group "Pilot", where the group belongs to "f2f="";". Is there a way I can call them into the above array example?

To help clarify what I am trying to do, please view my code. I have a switch function system which checks for UIDs. I also give the IDs a designated group (f2f="pilot" for example). I also have another script that takes each group and by using another switch function, can apply specific code for that group. So everything is already defined... I need help figuring out how to apply a group of UIDs into the vehicle lock array.

Click the spoiler to view my code:

init.sqf

null=[] execVM "\f2f\f2f.sqf";

f2f.sqf

WaitUntil{not isNull player};
waitUntil {(getPlayerUID player) != ""};

_uid 	= getPlayerUID player;
_title  = "";
_text   = "";
f2f	="";

#include "f2fmembers.sqf";
#include "f2fgroups.sqf";


sleep 1;
hint parseText (_title + _text);

f2fmembers.sqf

switch(_uid)do 
{ 
case "111111": // Member 1
{
f2f = "Pilot"; 
_title  = "<t color='#ff0000' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='center'>Welcome Back</t><br />";
_text = format["<t color='#ffffff' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='left'>%1</t><t  align='right'> [%2]</t><br />", name player, f2f];
};

case "222222": // Member 2
{
f2f = "Tanker";
_title  = "<t color='#ff0000' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='center'>Welcome Back</t><br />";
_text = format["<t color='#ffffff' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='left'>%1</t><t  align='right'> [%2]</t><br />", name player, f2f];
};

default
   	{
_title = "<t color='#ff0000' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='center'>Welcome to TheFirst2Fight!</t><br />";
_text = format["%1, please take a second to read the rules, you cant fly aircraft unless you are an F2F pilot or on TeamSpeak", name player];
};
};

f2fgroups.sqf

switch(f2f)do 
{ 
case "Pilot":
{
                // additional group code goes here
};

case "Tanker":
{
                // additional group code goes here
};

default
   	{
                // additional group code goes here
};
};

If you have a pilot who defaults to AI if no human player selects him, and he is the players group. It seems you cannot order him to get into a chopper, as he gets kicked too, even though his name is listed in the script.

So how can you modify the script to accept Ai pilot as well?

Cheers

[kylania 567]

If you're playing with AI in a player group why are you limiting things by name? Only time you would want to limit access to specific players/units is if you're playing a bloaty public server mission with idiots who steal choppers since they are impatient. In a one off mission I can't think of why you'd want to do that, especially if it's a friendly AI units present mission.

Just make sure that the unit is a player, like:

//Old
if !(name _unit in _namesArray) then
{
_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];
};

//New
if (!(name _unit in _namesArray) && isPlayer _unit) then
{
_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];
};

Also you might want to check what Demonized wrote above, it would be much better that instead of using the player name to use the UID.

[daza 36]

I think the solution is to put a if (!player) exitWith {};

in the script, i put it inside the event handler as this what triggers the script right?

This will allow the Ai pilot to get into the chopper. (but i guess you could order any Ai soldier to do that too then) what about using Type of..command or is that more for vehicles themselves?

The reason to allow Ai pilots is if there is not enough players on the team (TvT Mission), the team leader can still order the Ai pilot to fly about and land (via dismount command).

This is what it looks like below, but i get a Error !type object expected boolean. So how do i rewrite it so the script will terminate if pilot is not player?

_vehicle = _this select 0;

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn",

{

if (!player) exitWith {};

private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];

_veh = _this select 0;

_pos = _this select 1;

_unit = _this select 2;

_namesArray = ["Joe", "Joe2"];

if !(name _unit in _namesArray) then

{

titleText ["You are not the pilot.", "plain"]; titleFadeOut 8;

_unit action ["Eject", vehicle _unit];

};

}]; titleFadeOut 13;

[kylania 567]

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn",
{

   private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];
   _veh = _this select 0;
   _pos = _this select 1;
   _unit = _this select 2;
   _namesArray = ["Joe", "Joe2"];

   if (player != _unit) exitWith {};

Try that?

[daza 36]

_vehicle addEventHandler ["GetIn",
{

   private ["_veh", "_pos", "_unit", "_namesArray"];
   _veh = _this select 0;

   _unit = _this select 2;
   _namesArray = ["Joe", "Joe2"];

   if (player != _unit) exitWith {};

Yes i did thanks. The script no longer gives me an error, but anyone still can hop in as the pilot now.

ok, how i can use this script not especially for the specified vehicles placed per mission file. I mean how i can lock a few vehicles which have been placed over databank? Can someone help me with an LAV25?

how can we change this to only pilot seat so all players can get in passanger and gunner seats but not pilots seat

[iceman77 18]

Yes i did thanks. The script no longer gives me an error, but anyone still can hop in as the pilot now.

That's because the script doesn't have an eject command/function...

What is "Pilots"? Is that supposed to be an array of classnames? I don't see any array of pilots / classes. Or is the array defined somewhere else? :cool:

But I also want the vehicles to keep there init after respawning so they are still locked after respawning.

It could be that you're having a dedicated server run a "player" query. There is no real player on a dedicated server. Is the code being run from server or client?
