Looking to do cust. loadouts with sqf's

[eviljack109 11]

For the past few years I've been doing custom load-out kits for my unit. How we've always done it is I just have a box that has this in the init:

this addAction ["Rifleman", {player execVM "CAF_W\Rifleman.sqf";},[],1,true,true,"","true",5];

Well this and many other kits of many other names. When you pick it, the game just removes everything and gives you the kit in the file. Really easy.
The problem with this is people tend to pick up the stuff from one kit, drop it on the floor, pick another cit, then combine the two. Making for some people to have really OP load-outs which were never the intent of the system I made.

So what I want to do now is when a unit loads they spawn with that sqf file. And I have no idea how to do this... 

This is how it goes in my head: 

Player joins server for op >> player enters role selection screen. >> player sees plenty of open slots, some say Teamleader, Sniper, Rifleman, etc. >> player selects rifleman slot. >> Player then goes to load into the game. >> Players spawns with load-out that was given in the rifleman.sqf >> have fun.

I've kept doing some variation of...
 

player execVM "LOADS\Rifleman.sqf";

But with no good results.

Pls halp.

custom load-out kits

 

Hello there eviljack109 !

 

There are a lot of scripts to do this and a lot of possible ways.

Below i have my script made , very easy to use and edit and it can work for both players and ai.

when a unit loads

what does "loads" mean?

 

You can just use the init script in editor.

Important part is that you add a "local" check to it, otherwise the loadout script may fire repeatedly.

 

Something like

if (local this) then {
    this execVM "LOADS\Rifleman.sqf";
};

Just into the init script box in the Editor, on that unit.

It seems to me that's the aim of the cfgRespawnInventories / cfgRoles in description.ext

Yea, people are a$$holes, but there really isn't anyway to prevent this unless you disable their ability to drop things from their inventory entirely or have some sort of "clean up" script that keeps objects from being present on the ground too long.

 

 

Ok, well, wayyyy easier to do than initially expected:

 

player addEventHandler [ "InventoryClosed",
	{
		params ["_unit","_container"];
		deleteVehicle _container;
	}
];

Not really what I'm looking for, it seems your script assigns the kits randomly. Or I just can't find how to assign a kit to a specific unit.

This is on the right idea of what I am looking for (I think), but this never worked when I tested it in the editor. Also tried replacing "this" with "player" and got nothing. will try it in a server with a friend and take a look.

I checked that out and that is far more complicated than I am whilling todo. I already made the loadouts in .sqf format. I just want a way to pull them over.

I don't want to ban ppl from dropping shit cause that could just make more problems in other areas.

Ty for all responses. will keep exploring.

This is an example of what you want :

It's the very same script

ex :

if(typeOf _this isEqualto "I_Soldier_TL_F") then{
    [_this] execVM "GF_Exported_Loadouts_MCD\Loadouts\independent\I_Soldier_TL_F.sqf";
};

and this is for respawn

ex:

_this addEventHandler ["Respawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    _unit execVM "GF_Exported_Loadouts_MCD\Loadouts\independent\I_Soldier_TL_F.sqf";
}];

and you can also use a eventhandler , for disabling , picking up stuff :

You can add the items that you want to be available or excluded , if you remove the "!" from the code :

if (!(_item in GF_List))  then { 

 

GF_List =[
//	add your list
"classname",
"classname"
]; 

player addEventHandler ["Take",{ 
params ["_unit", "_container", "_item"];

hint format["You picked a %1",_item];

if (!(_item in GF_List))  then { 
_unit unassignItem _item; 
_unit removeItem _item; 
hint "You can't wear that!"};
}];

If you go into bis or ace arsenal, you can make a loadout, and then export it, and post it in an sqf and exec it, save yourself all the work, it even writes out the code for you to exec it if I remember right, you just have to turn it to local variables and use the select command, like I'm sure is posted above. but the arsenal is the best way to get your touch. Ask if you need anything.
