Change clotes

[derox 3]

Heey:)

I am making a mission on Arma 2 OA.

And i want to make somting. That you can change clotes somting like in dayz when you find a gilli.

I want to make that there is this bag on the ground (CZ_VestPouch_EP1) there will be an option use and then you change in to a other caracter.

but you can do it once. If you activated it the bag will deisapear.

In my mission it will not be a gilli but a hazard dude from that mod.

Plz can somone help me with this that would be great thx.

A quick search turned up this script.

this addaction ["change clothes", "uniswitch.sqf"];

private ["_snipos","_rfmpos","_dir","_group"];

_snipos = getPos sni;
_rfmpos = getPos rf;
_dir = getDir player;
_group = group player;

titleText ["Changing Clothes", "BLACK OUT", 2];
sleep 2;
sni setPos _rfmpos;
rf setPos _snipos;

if (player == rf) then
{
[rf] join grpNull;
selectPlayer sni;
[sni] joinSilent _group;
} else
{
[sni] join grpNull;
selectPlayer rf;
[rf] joinSilent _group;
};
sleep 1;
titleText ["Changing Clothes", "BLACK IN", 2];
player setDir _dir;
exit;

Thx it worked but this is just for 1 player i tink. Because if you activate it player sni will change to player rf.

And i need more because my mission is a multiplayer mission.

+you dont keep your gear. Its like a survival mission where you have to find gear.

You could change the script to create a unit and switch over instead of using an existing unit. Also you just have to save weapons player and magazines player and readd them to the new unit.

Here is a script i found on the forums here somewhere. it transfers unit name and is multiplayer compatible as well.

All thx for replying!!!

Eeeoo, as I was investing and researching a lot of time in years ago (arma I and II), I just found something very interesting a few weeks ago:

https://dev-heaven.net/docs/cba/files/common/fnc_switchPlayer-sqf.html#CBA_fnc_switchPlayer

this function makes it a lot easier, I checked the code also, and there were a few Elements which you easily forget to involve (regarding Handlers).

I don't know anymore where I saw the code, but it looked pretty well.

But I didn't test it, so I don't know if there are any sideeffects.

You want to know more about sideeffects? Look here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectPlayer

Note: All my researches were done far before DayZ, and I guess, BIS was investing some time solving locality and Sideeffect-problems.

Hey 1st post here. I'm usually able to find everything I'm looking for, but too am looking for a solution to this. Nimrod, I read through the script you posted there..I mostly understand it, but I was hoping you could elaborate a touch on how to use it and what part of script goes in what file. Thanks in advance.

Chicago

-EDIT-

I figured it out...ty
