Command/ Script for ACE3 Key Car in inventory furniture ?

[SGT Major Ray Jefferson 2]

Hello, I would like a piece of furniture to contain an ACE 3 key for unlocking a car, or that this is on the piece of furniture.

the class name of the object is ACE_key_civ.

these commands do not work: c1 AddItem "ACE_key_civ"; c1 AddItem "ACE_Kestrel4500"; c1 addItem "optic_aco";

Thank you for your help.

ACE_key_civ is not a "world" object by default, meaning you can't place one in the world in the editor or through a simple command like addItem. You can place them in an object's inventory in the editor, or you can use the provided framework to script them into existence:
https://ace3mod.com/wiki/framework/vehiclelock-framework.html

 

You could also do something like place Land_Key_01_F somewhere and initiate the above framework through an addAction/holdAction, deleting the static key object when you "pick up" the vehicle keys.

The framework does not work with the crate or the furniture.

[m1, v1, true] call ace_vehiclelock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle; or [c1, v1, true] call ace_vehiclelock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle;

Of course not, it assigns a vehicle's key to the player.

It doesn't do what you want it to, but my suggested workaround will sort of.

You might be looking for different command. This might do what you're trying to achieve if it's ok that it's just an inventory item and it's not visible ON the furniture.

c1 addItemCargo ["ACE_key_civ", 1];

Ahh, ya know, that works just fine. I was ASS-uming things about the nature of the ACE vehicle key.

Depending on use case, you might consider the global variant addItemCargoGlobal.

[SGT Major Ray Jefferson 2]

thank you it works.

Can the key be attached to a specific vehicle?

[soldierXXXX 107]

No that´s not possible. That´s because when using  ace_vehiclelock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle with customKey parameter set to TRUE, the script behaves differently (and works only in MP environment). The script works with command magazinesDetail which returns vehicle/unit magazines with their specific ID, but it can´t return magazines from object that can´t shoot (will return [] for objects like civil cars, boxes etc...). Your best bet for making custom key for the car is to add the key directly to player with 

[player, car1, true] call ACE_VehicleLock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle;

 and not into furniture.

[Harzach 2517]

As in my first post, you could place a "dummy" key with an addAction/holdAction (or since this is an ACE function, an ACE interaction!) on the table that initiates the ACE function (and deletes the dummy key).

//place in init of key object (e.g. "Land_Key_01_F") named "key1"
//name your car "car1"
//change these variable names as desired

_keyAction = [
"keys_01", 
"Take Keys", 
"", 
{   
	params ["_target", "_player", ""];
    [_player, car1, true] call ace_vehiclelock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle;
    deleteVehicle _target;
}, 
{true}
] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;
 
[key1, 0, ["ACE_MainActions"], _keyAction] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject; 

If the key is inside a desk, you could use a Take EventHandler that initiates the function and deletes the original key (which is a skeleton key for all cars of its side, which you don't want).

//place in player init

this addEventHandler ["Take", {
	params ["_unit", "_container", "_item"];
	if (_item == "ACE_key_civ") then 
	{
	    _unit removeItem _item;
        [_unit, car1, true] call ace_vehiclelock_fnc_addKeyForVehicle;
	}	
}];

The former event handler could also be added/removed dynamically, maybe on condition of distance from the container.

 

Here's a basic example mission. There is a set of keys on the table in front of the player that will unlock the car on the left. Inside the desk to the right is a set of keys that will unlock the car on the right.

Hi again. The code that wrote @Harzach is great 🙂. I like specialy the function that adds interaction to the key 😄 so cool. And i have to correct myself for i thought the function is only available for multiplayer-that is not true it works perfectly fine in SP. IDK why it didn´t work yesterday when i tried it 😄. However one thought got on my mind and that was what if you wanted to create like keybox ? Where you want to have keys for more than one vehicle (assigned keys) and you don´t wish to use civil key as dummy key (to not look so obvious)? Well when i dig deeper into ace code and i figured out if you want to have key registered you only have to register it to object variable ""ace_vehiclelock_customkeys"" and the vehicle lock system takes care of the rest. So i had an idea for such script. It´s also created with Take eventhandler but it could be adjusted for more cars. If you´re interested take a look 🙂. I put this into init.sqf and as i tested it, it should work-keys stays assigned as they were. You can place them on ground, back into furniture or inside cars (sometimes it´s a bit hard to detect which key you actually have). Well you can ignore this post if you want 😄 i just wanted to post it for anyone that might be interested in same thing 🙂. only thing you have to adjust is:

c1 addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ACE_key_customKeyMagazine", 3];
c1 setVariable ["availableKeysCars",[car1,car1_1,car1_2]];

where c1 is the furniture, 3 is number of keys to be added and  [car1,car1_1,car1_2] is the array for vehicles in order that will get their key registered when you take the keys from furniture. And if you want more units to be able to register the keys, they need to have the same eventhandler and it will work (tested with another playable unit).
At the start player has two already registered keys for car1 in his inventory (i wanted to test it if it´s possible to register keys without using ace action and kept it there).
 

//=========================================================================================================================================================================================================
//with this you can automaticly assign more than one key that you already have in inventory to unlock car1-great at mission start-usefull when you want to give access to car1 to someone else but you want another key to be able to un/lock it
player addMagazine "ACE_key_customKeyMagazine";
player addMagazine "ACE_key_customKeyMagazine";
arrayActiveKeys = [];//this array is most important-needs to be available for both functions-checks all active keys
{if (((toLowerANSI _x) find "ace vehicle key") != -1) then {arrayActiveKeys pushBack _x};} forEach (magazinesDetail player);//this registers keys from players inventory
//hint str arrayActiveKeys;
private _copyArrayActiveKeys = +arrayActiveKeys;
car1 setVariable ["ace_vehiclelock_customkeys",_copyArrayActiveKeys];//this syntax setups the keys that player has in inventory for car1
//=========================================================================================================================================================================================================
//this is a function to simulate more than one key in furniture-needs to be assigned by Take eventhandler
//Be aware that for Multiplayer usage the code would probably need some tweaks (like publicVariable arrayActiveKeys and so on)
c1 addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ACE_key_customKeyMagazine", 3];//number of  keys should match  with availableKeysCars array
c1 setVariable ["availableKeysCars",[car1,car1_1,car1_2]];//you can copy this and assign different vehicles for different furnitures 
f1 addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ACE_key_customKeyMagazine", 2];
f1 setVariable ["availableKeysCars",[b1,b2]];
