Script Request: Save Gear on Death

[49lone82 11]

Looking for a script or how to info. I want players to respawn with the exact same thing....... weapons, mags, gear that they had on them when they were killed. Aerosons's Get/Set Loadout no longer is supported or working so please dont give me that link. I am to the point of willing to pay to get this working.

Hello !

You can use addEventHandler with the killed event.

I bet you can call your gear save right there

[Kingsley1997 39]

onPlayerKilled.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_loadInventory;

Untested...

onPlayerKilled.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_loadInventory;

Untested...

 

I would add them to an EventHandler, you can only have one onPlayerXXX.sqf whereas you can have multiple event handlers for a unit. The theory and code is the same (or relatively similar) though, both ways will execute on the player onXXXX event.

The onPlayerRespawn and onPlayerKilled are event scripts and are executed for every player that dies/respawns. It's the exact same as using an event handler, only easier.

So can the event handlers, I feel as though they offer more control over who executes the onXXX event :) I wouldn't agree with it being easier, it depends on how you prefer to script. I was only suggesting another alternative, as I would prefer to do it with event handlers. Both solutions would work :)

Ah right I thought you were saying that onPlayerRespawn.sqf only handles one player object so you'd have to make onXObjectRespawn.sqf etc.. lol

not quite the same 

 

event handlers store the expression in memory and don't have to compile the code again when its called.

 

the event scripts are not stored in memory and the engine must compile the code each execution.

 

performance-wise, you're better off using an event handler ... of course this is nitpicking though. both methods work as you say.

Umm... I'm still using Aeroson's script, works perfectly on my mission.  :ph34r:

 

Haven't tried with "gear changing" mods tho.

 

init.sqf

 

// Compile scripts

getLoadout = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'get_loadout.sqf';

setLoadout = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'set_loadout.sqf';

                                                

// Save loadout (including ammo count) every 2 seconds

[] spawn {

    while{true} do {

        if(alive player) then {

            loadout = [player,["ammo","repetitive"]] call getLoadout;

        };

    sleep 2;  

    };

};

 

// Load saved loadout (including ammo count) on respawn

player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {

        [player,loadout,["ammo"]] spawn setLoadout;

    }

];

Are you just adding that to the main init?

I'm trying to get this to work in Wasteland

[irx 1]

Yes and I also added waitUntil {!isNull player}; before the script in init.sqf. And ofcourse those 2 script files 'get_loadout.sqf' and 'set_loadout.sqf' from Aeroson's script. Hope it helps.

[49lone82 11]

Here is what my onKilled.sqf and onRespawn.sqf look like. what do I need to modify.

 

onPlayerKilled.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
[_unit, [_unit, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_loadInventory;

Untested...

Well first off the files are named wrong...

[49lone82 11]

This is what the files are named in wasteland.

[Kingsley1997 39]

This is what the files are named in wasteland.

But it's wrong... Look at the event scripts, there's no reference to onRespawn or onKilled.

[49lone82 11]

But it's wrong... Look at the event scripts, there's no reference to onRespawn or onKilled.

This I know. What i need to do is merge the code in onPlayerkilled into onkilled and onPlayerRespawn into onRespawn. 

[Kingsley1997 39]

But.. But.. It just won't work... I don't know how I can explain this any further... You HAVE to use onPlayerRespawn/onPlayerKilled...

[Larrow 2823]

You HAVE to use onPlayerRespawn/onPlayerKilled...

You can use anything you like. All depends how it is setup.

If you have your own respawnTemplate you can call any file/function you like.

If you monitor client deaths using addEventHandler["Killed".. again you can call anything you like.

As for wasteland from a quick browse of the files on github i believe they use the second option e.g

\client\functions\clientCompile.sqf
onKilled = "client\clientEvents\onKilled.sqf" call mf_compile;
and
\client\init.sqf
player addEventHandler ["Killed", { _this spawn onKilled }];

For the saving you should just be able to add the code straight in the top of onKilled.sqf and change _unit for _player..

_player = _this select 0;

[_player, [_player, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;

_presumedKiller = effectiveCommander (_this select 1);
_killer = _player getVariable "FAR_killerPrimeSuspect";

For respawning they use

\client\functions\clientCompile.sqf
onRespawn = "client\clientEvents\onRespawn.sqf" call mf_compile;
and
\client\init.sqf
player addEventHandler ["Respawn", { _this spawn onRespawn }];

So to restore the players gear you should just be able to place the code at the end of onRespawn.sqf again swapping _unit for _player

if (isPlayer pvar_PlayerTeamKiller) then
{
	pDialogTeamkiller = pvar_PlayerTeamKiller;
	pvar_PlayerTeamKiller = objNull;

	[] execVM "client\functions\createTeamKillDialog.sqf";
};

//Check to see if player has a saved inventory
if ( _player getVariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data",[]] find "SavedInventory" > -1 ) then {
	[_player, [_player, "SavedInventory"]] call BIS_fnc_loadInventory;
};

And ive added a check just to make sure the player has a "savedInventory" just incase wasteland uses this script for starting spawn.

This should apply the saved gear after the default wasteland restore. Again only from a quick browse of the files so there maybe other things that need looking into.

[pvt. partz 248]

Interesting read but alas, my ability to take what is talked about and use it in a mission is pretty much a no-go. I would like to ask if a saved gear "onplayerkilled" and a load saved gear "onplayerspawn" could be made into a mod so that I (we who need our hands held) can just add it to our mods list,......or is that possible? In other words, when I get killed, I want to respawn with the gear I had on me when I died. Not a fresh (fully replenished) loadout.

I have tried so many different scripts but nothing seems to work.

 

Thanks in advance

to make this simple do this. inside the missions folder, create a file called onPlayerRespawn.sqf and onPlayerKilled.sqf like this https://gyazo.com/41ad339d0bceb91620a09e7a8bcd2500

inside of onPlayerKilled paste this into it

playersGear = getUnitLoadout player;

inside of onPlayerRespawn paste this into it

player setUnitLoadout playersGear;

when the player is killed it saves his gear, when the player respawns it loads the variable(playersGear) that has the units loadout saved onto the player. make sense?

[pvt. partz 248]

Thanks very much for the reply.

I did exactly that and it works wonderfully, however,...

I found out the reason why I was having so much trouble.

I'm playing the awesome mission called liberation, and come to find out that there is a load out script inside his mission, which didn't play nice with anything I wanted to add as far as loadout editing. I did a little tinkering and removed his load up script and added exactly what you said. I haven't died yet so we'll see fingers crossed.

[pvt. partz 248]

Played a little bit more and being able to respond with the gear that I had when I died is pretty much hit and miss. After everything we've tried, there really doesn't seem to be a sure-fire way to accomplish what I'm after.

.... Also, if I'm playing Co-op are there other parameters that are required so that my partner can also benefit from the same solution (when one is found)? We don't have a dedicated server we just play locally on my computer.
