What's wrong with this script?

[xJordannx 1]

Init.sqf:

masterUIDArray = ["########"];

if (getPlayerUID player in masterUIDArray) then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

Spawnf35b.sqf

_vehicle = createVehicle ["F35B", getPos player, [], 20, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; 

Basically, I want it so the person with the UID has an option to spawn an F35B, and this won't show the "Spawn f35b" option.

What did you put in the masterUIDArray? ###### isn't a valid UID.

I put my UID of course :P, I'm not THAT stupid haha XD

I also tried:

if nameOfPlayer == "xJordannx" then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

And the option for "Spawn f35b" still wouldn't show up, however I tried just:

player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];

And that worked, but I need it so only I can use it.

if (player == unit1) then { unit1 addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"] };

getPlayerUID only returns something in MP.

[Foxy 1]

if nameOfPlayer == "xJordannx" then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

should be

if (name player == "xJordannx") then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

[xJordannx 1]

if nameOfPlayer == "xJordannx" then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

should be

if (name player == "xJordannx") then {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
};

Works, thanks! But is there any way to make it so it's the UID instead of the name?

 waitUntil {getPlayerUID player != ""};
 _whitelist = ["123456","654321"]; // notice string format

 if ((getPlayerUID player) in _whitelist) then

Thanks, that works, but for some reason, when I respawn/die the option to spawn the f35b disappears, any idea why?

You need to add a MPKilled or MPRespawn eventhandler and then add the action again.

Could you explain how?

[iceman77 18]

I've never had the need to do this, so I couldn't off the top of my head. I could try.

init.sqf

{ _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { _handle=[] execVM "cuelScript.sqf" }]} forEach playableUnits;

or

{ _x addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { _handle=[] execVM "cuelScript.sqf" }]} forEach playableUnits;

You may also want to look into rADDACTION. I'm not sure, but it may even persist through death.

Yes re-adding it after respawn is a good approach :) Hopefully this works, so you don't have to add event handlers for all units.

if (!isDedicated) then {
 if (!isMultiplayer) exitWith {player sidechat "Can only check whitelist in multiplayer"};
 waitUntil {!isNull player};
 waitUntil {getPlayerUID player != ""};
 _whitelist = ["123456","654321"]; // notice string format

 if ((getPlayerUID player) in _whitelist) then 
 {
   player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];
   player addEventHandler ["Respawn",{player addAction ["Spawn f35b", "Spawnf35b.sqf"];}];
 };
};

Doesn't seem to work
