Unit gear save script

[GioLabo 2]

Hello chaps

 

I'm not really good in scripting. I just started to create custom missions in Arma 3 so I need your little help.

 

What I'm trying to do is to save the exact loadout on unit after death and respawn with same gear. can somebody tell me how to do that?

There is no simple way to do this.

 

BUT there is a script called poppy. And it does exactly what you need: Lets you create a loadout for every playable unit that will be applied everytime after respawn.

Except the simple way.

 

in init.sqf

// Set Units current Loadout
    Fnc_Set_Loadout =
    {
    _unit = _this select 0;
    _unit setVariable ["Saved_Loadout",getUnitLoadout _unit];
    };

// Get Units current Loadout
    Fnc_Get_Loadout =
    {
    _unit = _this select 0;
    _unit setUnitLoadout (_unit getVariable ["Saved_Loadout",[]]);
    };

Then in initPlayerLocal.sqf

player addEventhandler ["Killed",  {_this spawn Fnc_Set_Loadout}];
player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_this spawn Fnc_Get_Loadout}];

Are you sure this will work with JIP?

As long as the addEventhandler commands are in the initPlayerLocal.sqf as Beerkan wrote, yes.
