Reaspawn and Loadout scripts not working (CODE INSIDE)

[Tactical_Idiot 10]

Hello all,

I cannot get a loadout and respwan script to work correctly. I've had help to take it to this point, but we cant get it to fully work. I have troubleshooted some, and am stuck. I know it is something to do with Units 3-6 and something to do with the loadouts, as the Marksman loadout works absolutely fine, but none of the others do.

Can anyone help?

In the loadouts.sqf

functionsLoaded = true;

In the init.sqf

[] execVM "loadouts.sqf";

waitUntil {!isNil "functionsLoaded"};

_loadout1 = unit1 call Marksman_Stuff;

_loadout2 = unit2 call Marksman_Stuff;

_loadout3 = unit3 call Medic_Stuff;

_loadout4 = unit4 call Grenadier_Stuff;

_loadout5 = unit5 call Grenadier_Stuff;

_loadout6 = unit6 call AutoRifleman_Stuff;

In each units init line in the editor

Unit 1+2 Marksmen: These two units work fine, both spawning with the custom loadout and respawning with the custom loadout. Works great.

this addMPEventhandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) call Marksman_Stuff}];

Unit3 Combat life saver: Doesn't spawn with the custom loadout and doesn't respawn with the custom loadout.

this addMPEventhandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) call Medic_Stuff}];

Unit4+5 Grenadiers: Doesn't spawn with the custom loadout and doesn't respawn with the custom loadout.

this addMPEventhandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) call Grenadier_Stuff}];

Unit 6 Autorifleman: Doesn't spawn with the custom loadout and doesn't respawn with the custom loadout.

this addMPEventhandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) call AutoRifleman_Stuff}];

I then save, then save as/export to MP mission, then quit editor, then load up MP mission on a LAN server.

The hint is whether they all spawn with silenced weapons, and the machine gunner has an MK200

Here is a link to the full mission folder, feel free to download (its 9mb) and see for yourself exactly what happens. Its actually a great mission with custom music, etc and I'm finished and ready for workshop as soon as I fix the bloody loadouts and respawning for units 3-6.

For ANYONE who fixes this t make it working I'll paypal £5 as a thanks, sorta like buying you a couple beers for the help.

That's working for me, at least in a locally hosted server.

[Tactical_Idiot 10]

I know it is mate (this is the very helpful guy that's helped me this far). How can I host on a locally hosted server so I can see if it works my end?

Did you get it to also work when you followed my steps, ie exporting to MP mission and doing a LAN host like I did?

[kylania 568]

Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

[Tactical_Idiot 10]

Then we're both stumped, perhaps another can help? Its now isolated to units 3-6 not working....so whatever works for units 1-2 or whatever is different about their script is what the issue is I'm sure of it.

[KevsNoTrev 44]

have you tried

[] execVM "loadouts.sqf";

waitUntil {!isNil "functionsLoaded"};
waituntil {player ==player};
_loadout1 = unit1 call Marksman_Stuff;
_loadout2 = unit2 call Marksman_Stuff;
_loadout3 = unit3 call Medic_Stuff;
_loadout4 = unit4 call Grenadier_Stuff;
_loadout5 = unit5 call Grenadier_Stuff;
_loadout6 = unit6 call AutoRifleman_Stuff;

the wait until makes sure the player unit has initialised before calling the relevant script.

Hello,

It works fine on dedicated server, except the uniform.

When a player arrives, he is OK, but the others suddenly have no more uniform.

I know there is a problem with uniform as it is local instead of global, but i dont see how to avoid this.

Thanks
