[Release] Holster Weapon Script

[MasterPuffin 21]

When executed, this script will holster your weapon, or puts it on your back. You can draw your weapon again using 1 or 2 on your keyboard.

player action ["SWITCHWEAPON",player,player,-1];
waitUntil {currentWeapon player == "" or {primaryWeapon player == "" && handgunWeapon player == ""}};

You can either use addaction or a keyhandler to execute the script. 

 

If you have any questions or need help with your mission feel free to ask!

Cheers

Puffin

There's an invisible/corrupt character present when you copy the code above:

 

 

When pasted into a code block, they appear as red dots. You can simply delete them. Here's a clean version:

player action ["SWITCHWEAPON",player,player,-1];
waitUntil {currentWeapon player == "" or {primaryWeapon player == "" && handgunWeapon player == ""}};

Show your code. Also, how are you calling the script?

I used your code 1:1 into my addActions.sqf ... what do you mean with "how are you calling" ? 
Did i have to edit an other folder oder sqf file?

player action ["SWITCHWEAPON",player,player,-1];
waitUntil {currentWeapon player == "" or {primaryWeapon player == "" && handgunWeapon player == ""}};

An .sqf file sitting in your mission folder does nothing until it is called - with the exception of event scripts, which we'll use below.

 

If you have an .sqf file in your mission folder named "addAction.sqf" then it needs to be called (I.E. run/executed/etc.) in some way. Since this is for your multiplayer scenario, it would probably be fine to call it from both initPlayerLocal.sqf and onPlayerRespawn.sqf (if you have respawns enabled.) If those event scripts don't already exist in your mission folder, you must create them.

 

initPlayerLocal.sqf:

params ["_player", "_didJIP"];

_player execVM "addAction.sqf";

onPlayerRespawn.sqf:

params ["_newUnit", "_oldUnit", "_respawn", "_respawnDelay"];

_newUnit execVM "addAction.sqf";

addAction.sqf:

params ["_player"];

_player action ["SWITCHWEAPON", _player, _player, -1];
waitUntil {currentWeapon _player == "" or {primaryWeapon _player == "" && handgunWeapon player == ""}};

Note that "player" is now the local variable "_player" in addAction.sqf.

Thank you so much for your help and your time !!! 😰

Your script worked perfectly! but i need a script like the holster script in wasteland ... with your script, the player holstered the weapon instantly after joining the server. but my wish is it to holster weapon whenever i want it. Do you understand what i mean? 😄

If so, you must use the addaction command in your addAction.sqf script
Like:

params ["_player"];

_player addAction ["Text you like", {(_this select 0) action ["SWITCHWEAPON", (_this select 0), (_this select 0), -1];}];

It seems to me that for your idea, the waitUntil loop is useless.

But i have a other question .... i got this error report every time i start my private wasteland server:

But i cant find the right solution -.- can you help me pls? 🤕

What is your mission .pbo's full file name?

 

To the point, it seems that you have sourced a Wasteland file that was built on the pre-release version of Tanoa/Apex.

Your full mission .pbo file name should be MissionName.Tanoa.pbo
