Restricting Virtaul Arsenal Items to Soldier Type

[SIlenceFiction 13]

So basically, Im working on editing a certain mission and I got to the point that I need to restrict items to each soldier class/type (Missile Specialist, Automatic Rifleman, Engineer, Combat Life Saver, Designated Marksman, Sniper, etc) and I have no idea how.

My goal is to achieve that only a missile specialist will be able to see AT launchers, or only the Sniper will be able to acquire Sniper Rifles, etc...

I would very much appreaciate your help with that, my skype is in my profile so you can contact me there if you feel like it :rolleyes:

Thanks for everyone in advance :D

Well you can black/whitelist the arsenal

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

After that you just have to put it so that it recognizes the class names of the soldiers and loads the specifick gear

maybe like this:

if (player == "B_Soldier_AT_F") then {bis functions with the array of gear here}

something like this i think. might be more briliant scripters here that would find a better way

And I put that in the INIT line of the Virtual Arsenal box, right?

No, you need to run it on each client. So you could run it from your init.sqf:

if (!isDedicated) then {
//run your code here
};

//run your code here
};

OK, thank you two very much, I will try that and I will post an update afterwards.

Meanwhile I would be glad to hear more ideas. :)

OK, I tried to do that, and resulted with no success. It only shows the items that I have on me.

This it the line from the init.sqf file:

if (player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then {[ vabox, [ "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam","U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt","Rangefinder","MineDetector" ], true] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo;};

And this is the code I use to spawn the Virtual Arsenal:

this addAction ["Virtual Arsenal",{["Open",false] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal}];

What have I done wrong?

[kbbw123 115]

you don't need the addaction. the 4th parameter of the addVirtualItem cargo is the addaction and is by defaukt true. if you pt an addaction with open,true than you wil whipe the VA clean again after you filled it up basicly

If I'll set it to "Open",true then every single item/weapon/etc will be in the VA, which I don't want.

I tried so many things so far, and none of them worked, I have absolutely no idea how to go on from here.

[kbbw123 115]

Okay you will have to do it like this out of my head:

If (!isDedicated) then
{
   if (player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then 
       {[vabox,["U_B_CombatUniform_mcam","U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt","Rangefinder","MineDetector"]] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo};
};

put an ammobox called vabox and that should be it. there is no need to put a call bis_fnc_arsenal as the 4th parameter of the addVirtualItemCargo enables a addaction to the box by default. when putting in open,false you will clear the box again after it loaded the whitelisted stuf.

When you explain it with examples its the best! Thanks, I'll try that and I will let you know. :)

I tried it out, and sadly it didn't work, I even copy-pasted your code to see if it works but it doesn't.

Do you have any idea why this happens?

Working on it when i have a fix for you I'll post it ;)

I appreciate it :D

[HallyG 239]

Change the line:

if (player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then

to

if (typeof player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then

[SIlenceFiction 13]

Change the line:

if (player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then

to

if (typeof player == "B_Soldier_SL_F") then

IT WORKS! I really appreciate all the time you have invested to make it work for me! Thank you so much! :D

So, I encountered another problem, if someone enters my server after the mission started, its like hes ignoring all of the commands in the file.

I went to the init.sqf file and put this line:

[] execVM "Soldier_Gear_Restriction.sqf";

Maybe that's the problem...

So if someone enters the server in the timeout before the mission has began, all of the gear restriction will work, but if they enter the server after the mission has began, nothing is working for them in that file.

paste bin of Soldier_Gear_Restriction.sqf:

Can you guys spot the problem?

[kbbw123 115]

this sounds as a jip problem. unfortunatly i suck at jip meself........

Sorry to be the noob here, but what is jip?

[serjames 357]

Join in progress... players don't need to be in the lobby at mission start. Can come and go.

I see, thanks for the explanation.

[robowilso 40]

you could just tell them to use only role appropriate weaponry,, and if it's on a public server with large numbers of unknown players runing around, just add role specific ammoboxes that can only be accesed by those roles.

If you will have a look at the pastebin you will see that I have done that already, its just problem with the file being applied on players joining after the mission started, cause I can see they wear the default gear of the class and the Arsenal is not working for them.

Put your code in initPlayerLocal.sqf instead of init.sqf
