Remag 1 Posted March 13, 2013 Hi chaps, So....I'm a noob at this scripting stuff. Basically I want to spawn in the units and have them run an SQF file which will have commands to gear them up etc and for them to be reequipped with the same gear when they respawn (i've got the respawns working fine). So I've made various sqf files for each outfit, which will include all the guns etc...but I just can't get it to run the scripts, so it would be great if someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong! I've put the below in the initialization space in the editor for the specific soldier: Null = [this] execVM "outfit1.sqf"; this addeventhandler ["respawn","_this execVM 'outfit1.sqf'"]; And then the contents of the outfit1.sqf is: _removeallweapons _this; _removeallassigneditems _this; _removeallcontainers this; _this addHeadGear "H_MilCap_mcamo"; _this adduniform "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt"; _this addbackpack "B_AssaultPack_mcamo"; _this addVest "V_TacVest_khk"; _this addweapon "Binocular"; _this additem "ItemCompass"; _this assignItem "ItemCompass"; _this additem "ItemMap"; _this assignItem "ItemMap"; _this additem "FirstAidKit"; _this additem "FirstAidKit"; _this addmagazines ["HandGrenade",2]; _this addmagazines ["DemoCharge_Remote_Mag",1]; _this addmagazines ["30Rnd_65x39_case_mag_Tracer",11]; _this addMagazines ["1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell",5]; _this addweapon "arifle_TRG21_GL_F"; _this addPrimaryWeaponItem "muzzle_snds_H"; _this addPrimaryWeaponitem "optic_Arco"; _this addprimaryweaponitem "acc_flashlight"; _this addweapon "launch_RPG32_F"; _this addMagazine ["RPG32_F",3]; _this addMagazine ["RPG32_F",3]; _this addMagazine ["RPG32_F",3]; If you more knowledgeable chaps could help me out that would be lovely :) Regards, Remag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remag 1 Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks for the response. This does not work either unfortunately. I've got uniform1 uniform2 uniform3 uniform4 sqf files in the mission folder so I can mix up the look of the soldiers in the squads etc. Could it be a problem having multiple files? If not then I'm still unsure how to get this to work...on paper it should execute the files and work but it doesn't. Any other ideas? I'll let you guys know when It works!

Remag 1 Posted March 13, 2013 That works perfectly. Thank you very much kind sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remag 1 Posted March 14, 2013 Right! So I'm experiencing a new issue. It seems that when people join the multiplayer game, the script does not load for them properly. So some will have the gear, some wont, or parts of it wont be loaded. Is there something I can do to make the script load every time for every person on the server?

Remag 1 Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for your quick response again. I'll test it in a bit. I take it when you say Init.sqf you mean the outfit1/outfit2/outfit3 sqf files I have made? Because I want each soldier to have a different loadout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted March 14, 2013 The script above will load that loadout to ALL playable units. You could do a switch for different classes (grenadier, rifleman, AT, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
