Unique insignias for players

[FOX Dome 1]

Hi all,

I have a simple Question may someone can awnser

its for a mission, is it possible to give a Player (With player-ID) a Insignia via script?

So for example:

Member A gets his unique insignia

Member B gets his unique insignia

Member C gets his unique insignia

and so on ...

?

Would be great if your title would be more self explanatory. As for your question: Look into the Arsenal and see how it's done there (which command is used, I cant remember the exact one), and just put it in the units INIT or call it via sqf.

Yes.

You must add the insignia textures to the mission folder and add a class entry in description.ext.

description.ext

class CfgUnitInsignia
{
class rammySignia //rammys insignia class name
{
	displayName = "Rammys patch"; // Name displayed in Arsenal
	author = "rAMMY"; // Author displayed in Arsenal
	texture = "rammy.paa"; // Image path
	textureVehicle = ""; // Does nothing currently, reserved for future use
};

       class buddySignia //rammys buddy insignia class name
{
	displayName = "Rammys buddy patch"; // Name displayed in Arsenal
	author = "rAMMY"; // Author displayed in Arsenal
	texture = "rammybuddy.paa"; // Image path
	textureVehicle = ""; // Does nothing currently, reserved for future use
};
};

Then you'd need to add a player UID check to the units.

Insigniacheck.sqf

_uid = getPlayerUID player; //get the player unique ID

switch (_uid) do //compare the player unique ID against...
{
     case rammyplayeridnumber:  // ...rAMMYS ID and...
     {
        [player,"rammySignia"] call bis_fnc_setUnitInsignia; // ...give him this insignia if it matches
        hintC "Welcome back rAMMY! Enjoy your insignia!"; //..give an annoying message to make him feel good
     };

     case buddyplayeridnumber: // ..rAMMYs buddy ID and...
     {
        [player,"buddySignia"] call bis_fnc_setUnitInsignia; // ...give him the other insignia if it matches
        hintC "Welcome back friend of rAMMY! Enjoy your insignia!"; //..give an annoying message to make him feel good
     };

     default // what to do if no ID matches?
     {
      // Nothing! No patch for you!
      hintC "Become a member to get a patch!"; //..give an annoying message to make them feel bad
     };
};

That should get you started. Didn't test it, probably not multiplayer compatible.

I already have a different idea, a script that takes the player ID and put a badge with your name, and the identification of the player would be easier and real
