Spawning vehicles if addon is enabled

[jcae2798 132]

I am building a mission where random vehicles will spawn at markers. However rather then run the script of spawning a addon vehicle that a player doesn't have the addon enabled for, is this possible in the script code? I recall a new code introduced not to long ago from BI for identifying addons but cannot find anything on this.

Thanks guys.

Maybe this command will help:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/activatedAddons

//psuedo
if (_mod in activatedAddons) then {//do stuff};

*Note must be ran locally if you want to check each specific player, or if ran on the server it will check the server's activated addons.

You can use isClass to check for specific class names. You could build an array of classnames, check if they are available, and then pick one randomly to spawn.

Freaking awesome, just what i was looking for. Thanks guys!! Can't believe i just wasted hours of my time trying to figure it out for the dump spawning crap

[fight9 14]

I think the error in the code you posted came from your use of BIS_fnc_selectRandom. You were putting an array inside of another array, causing there to be only one choice - the whole array. Also, you were passing the whole array to createVehicle.

_cartype = [_ALLCARS] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_veh = createVehicle [_ALLCARS, _spawnPos, [], 0, "NONE"];

should be

_cartype = [b][color="#B22222"]_ALLCARS[/color][/b] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_veh = createVehicle [[b][color="#B22222"]_cartype[/color][/b], _spawnPos, [], 0, "NONE"];

since _ALLCARS is already an array and _cartype is the randomly selected one returned from the function.

Thanks again man, makes sense now. thanks for taking the time to review
