BW-Mod - Ranksign

[drunken officer 18]

Hello.

 

I've finished my BW_Ranksign Addon. With this addon it's possible to add german ranks to the bw-mod units. The second modul is for the respawn with the equiment what  the player had when he died.

You can choose:

- set the rank on arm

- show the rank and name above the head

- show your own rank in the right upper corner

for BluFor, OpFor or AAF

 

 

For the ranksign there are tow different ways.

1. the unit has not the DOF_Rank variable.

 -- The script chekc the rank which is set in the editor.

 

2. the unit has the DOF_Rank variable

 -- now its possible to set 23 different ranks to the uniform. 1 = private : 23 = 4 star general. No matter witch rank is set in the editor.

 

With a small script you can set the highst rank as leader of your group.

 

The video i've made is in german, because it's to hard for me to translate everything.

Here is a video:

 

 

Here is a examaple for the controll script. In my case the group has the variable "Tango31". Start this script inside the init.sqf.

[] spawn

        {

            private ["_cnt"];

            _cnt = 0;

            _grparray = [];

                while {true} do

                {

                    waitUntil {sleep 3; count units tango31 != _cnt};    

                    _grparray = [];

                    private ["_index", "_highest"];

                        _index = -1;

                        _highest = -1;

                        { _grparray = _grparray + [_x] } count units tango31;

                        {

                            if(_x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1] > _highest) then {

                                _highest = _x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1];

                                _index = _forEachIndex;

                            };

                        //player sideChat format ["INDEX: %1 Name: %2", _index, (_grparray select _index)];

                        

                        } forEach units tango31;

                                                

                        tango31 selectleader (_grparray select _index);

                        _cnt = count units tango31;

            };

        };

Foxhound you're the best, you have an eye for those seemingly unimportant details.  ;)

Hi,

 

I have a quick question. Is it possible to just show the Name and rank above the target if you go target them? My clan are using the Insignias from the BWMod and so we don't need your Insignias. But the feature with Rank and Rank next to the Ammonationbar is rly good. So is there a possibility to just have the this feature??

[ProfTournesol 956]

Hey ich hab mal ne frage,

ist es möglich, dass man den Rank und seinen Namen angezeigt bekommt, wenn man mit dem cursor auf einem Zielt, der Soldat aber seinen Rank über das Virutelle Arsenal mit den Insignias ran gemacht hat?

Mein Clan benutzt die Insignias vom Bwmod und unsre eigene die wir erstellt habe, d.h. dass wir nicht die Abzeichen von dir brauchen. Aber wir würden gerne das benutzen dass das Abzeichen über der figur ist und oben rechts neben der Munitionsanzeige. Wäre schön wenn du mir dabei helfen könntest

 

Come on, 54 posts and you still don't know this is an English language forum ?

It does clearly state in the forum rules, if you weren't aware of such rule. Maybe its a good idea to familiarise yourself with the forum rules again.

Update

fixed: In the case of a slow connection from the client to the server, it could happen that the texture was not loaded properly if the variable "DOF_RANK" assigned by the server. I have inserted a sleep 10

*****

Here is an example, how to add the rank to some players. (maybe inside a community). Guest are level 1. The server-admin has only one script to controll, if someone is promoted inside the community. In all mission, the player gets the same rank.

*****

1. step

Copy this code in your initserver.sqf: (only the server will load ths file)

#include "userconfig\bw_ranksign\ranks.hpp"

 

2. step

Copy this code in your initplayerlocal.sqf

call

{

player setVariable ["DOF_RANK", 1];

{

    if ( (name player) isEqualTo (_x select 0) ) then

    {

        player setVariable ["DOF_RANK", (_x select 1),true];     

    };

} forEach BW_Ranksign_rankzuweisung;



};

 

3. step

 

Create a folder userconfig\Bw_ranksign. Save the following code as "ranks.hpp" (i use notpad for this)

The arma3server.exe have to be in the same arma main folder

BW_Ranksign_rankzuweisung =

[

["NameofPlayer", 14],

["Drunken Officer", 3],

["NameofPlayer", 14],

["NameofPlayer", 9],

["Nameofplayer", 3]

];

//--- no , at the last entry !!!

publicVariable "BW_Ranksign_rankzuweisung";
