[Release] Virtual Arsenal Shop System

[7erra 629]

VASS - Virtual Arsenal Shop System

Introduction

VASS provides a simple to setup shop system and is the successor to the Arsenal Shop. The system provides several functions to handle traders and items. As of now it does not come bundled with an economy system but the implementation of an external one is easily possible.

 

Setup

Enable system:

1. Download the GitHub repo: https://github.com/7erra/VASS-Virtual-Arsenal-Shop-System
2. Check the example mission (Mission.VR)
   1. Copy the VASS folder to your mission
   2. Add the lines from the description.ext

 

Add trader:

1. Execute the addShop function: [this] call TER_fnc_addShop
2. Add an inventory with the addShopCargo function: [this, ["itemclass0", 15, 5, ..., "itemClassN", price, amount]] call TER_fnc_addShopCargo

For easier setup of this cost table I have created a mod that does this task with a user interface: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760193128. The settings can be changed by opening the object's attribute window and scrolling down to the "VASS" section.

 

Handle money:

1. Edit the TER_fnc_VASShandler in "VASS\fnc\fn_VASShandler.sqf"
2. Change the getMoney and setMoney functions to match your economy system

 

Documentation

GitHub will have a wiki on all aspects of the system. In addition to that all relevant functions have a header at the beggining of the file to show you what arguments they expect and what they do.

I have never worked with Ravage before so I'm not familliar with the currency system and the shop system. I will take a look though :)

[gc8 977]

This is great script just what I needed for my new project. Thanks 7erra!

 

Question, can you sell items?

Thank you very much 7erra !

 

If you have more news it would be good to make a post also to ravage topic , there are a lot of followers there , who would like this feature !

[accuracythruvolume 547]

Can you setup multiple shops?  Like one shop for clothing and another for weapons, and so on?

 

[7erra 629]

Sure. You can use the BIS_fnc_addVirtualXXXCargo commands to add specific items to an arsenal. The shop system applies to any Arsenal that is opened. I will modify the addArsenal function so you can add specific items/types and put it in the next update which will also add the possibilty to sell items @gc8 ;) Thanks for the ideas 

[7erra 629]

Updated the repository. Changes are in the first post.

Try this:
 

this addEventHandler ["Killed", {
	params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
	_killer setVariable ["TER_money",1000];
	_killer hint "You recieved 1000$";
}];

Note that this code has to be put in the unit which will be killed, if you let players fight AI, then put this into the AI, if it's PvP then put it in every players init.

Hm, right. 
I'm not good at scripting, so this may not work or may not be the easiest way, but try this:

this addEventHandler ["Killed", {
	params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
	_money = _killer getVariable ["TER_money"];
	_money + 500;
	_killer setVariable ["TER_money", _money];
	_killer hint "You recieved 500$";
}];

	_killer hint "You recieved 500$";
}];

 

Eh close enough:

this addEventHandler ["Killed", {
	params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
	_money = _killer getVariable [TER_moneyVariable,0];// get the variable, if not defined use default (0)
	_money = _money + 500;//add kill reward
	_killer setVariable [TER_moneyVariable, _money];
	"You received 500$" remoteExec ["hint",_killer];// execute code local on the pc of the killer
}];

Just released another update:

v1.2 - Better refunding

• Refunding of items in containers (uniform, vest, backpack)
• Selecting a new weapon won't add 4 free magazines, neither does removing a weapon delete the compatible mags

I finally got a grasp of how the default Arsenal handles it's stuff (the script is 3206 lines long ) so future editing should be easier.

[accuracythruvolume 547]

Actually you can just do something like this:  

 

in initServer.sqf:

 

#include "scripts\fnc_BountyPayout.sqf"

 

with fnc_BountyPayout.sqf being:

 

fnc_BountyPayout = addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", 
{
	_killed = _this select 0;
	_killer = _this select 1;
	
	_killedSide = (side group _killed);
	_killedFaction = faction _killed;
	
	
	if (_killedSide == resistance) then
	{
		if (isplayer _killer) then
		{
			_money = _killer getVariable [TER_moneyVariable,0];// get the variable, if not defined use default (0)
			_money = _money + 500;//add kill reward
			_killer setVariable [TER_moneyVariable, _money];
		};
	};
	
	if (_killedSide == east) then
	{
		if (isplayer _killer) then
		{
			_money = _killer getVariable [TER_moneyVariable,0];// get the variable, if not defined use default (0)
			_money = _money + 500;//add kill reward
			_killer setVariable [TER_moneyVariable, _money];
		};
	};
	
	if (_killedSide == civilian) then
	{
		if (isplayer _killer) then
		{
			0 = [_killer] execVM "scripts\fnc_CivilianKilledPenalty.sqf";
			
		};
	};
	 
	// Player death
	if (_killedSide == west) then
	{
		if (isplayer _killed) then
		{
			
		};
	};
}];

You could even expand this into certain vehicles.

 

Say you have a array of Jeep classnames...

 

{
        if (typeOf _killed == _x) then 
        {
           _money = _killer getVariable [TER_moneyVariable,0];// get the variable, if not defined use default (0)

          _money = _money + 500;//add kill reward

          _killer setVariable [TER_moneyVariable, _money];
        };
    } forEach Jeeps;

 

 

Or even specify infantry classnames if you like.....

7erra,

 

Is there a way to disable the loading of saved loadouts with this script?  That way peeps can't hack in stuff.  In other words, does this overwrite any arsenal that a player may access?  (like with personal arsenal)

I disabled all controls which could get you items for free. The script is run EVERY time an Arsenal is opened, regardless of the circumstances. Therefore there is no way to circumvent the system (at least that I know of). I already have some other possible exploits in mind which I'll try to fix.

 

On that note: I intend to make the whole system safer in a future update. Atm I went for an easy setup for small groups who want to play fair.

[accuracythruvolume 547]

Very nice!

Update v1.3 - Safety and UI

All right the system is now in a state which I'd call finished. I fixed some minor bugs and added everything that I could think of. Of course I tested the new version but if there are any bugs then please report them. All changes can be found in the original post. The picture is up-to-date.
