CfgRespawnInventory not working properly??

[Frostello 0]

Hi all, I've been working on a mission description.ext file and I'm at the stage of using CfgRespawnInventory for player loadouts. Now I know in all likelihood it's an issue on my end, however, I've noticed that whatever I set as a loadout through CfgRespawnInventory, the loadout isn't being picked up by the relevant function. At first, I figured it was a formatting issue on my end, but even using the examples on the Description.ext and addRespawnInventory command pages doesn't work.

 

Spoiler

class CfgRespawnInventory
{
    class bluCom
    {
        displayName = "Commanding Officer";
        icon = "\A3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\Ranks\major_gs.paa";
        role = "Command";
        weapons[] = {
             "arifle_MXC_F",
             "hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F",
             "Rangefinder"
        };
        magazines[] = {
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer",
              "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer",
              "11Rnd_45ACP_Mag",
              "11Rnd_45ACP_Mag",
              "11Rnd_45ACP_Mag",
              "MiniGrenade",
              "MiniGrenade",
              "MiniGrenade",
              "SmokeShell",
             "SmokeShellPurple",
             "SmokeShellOrange"
        };
        items[] = {
            "FirstAidKit"
        };
        linkedItems[] = {
           "H_HelmetSpecB",
           "V_PlateCarrier1_rgr",
           "ItemGPS",
           "ItemMap",
           "ItemCompass",
           "ItemWatch",
           "ItemRadio"
        };
        uniformClass = "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt";
    };
};

In this case, I had [west, "bluCom"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory in the mission Init.sqf to test if it worked. But like I said, this yielded no results. I kept receiving the same error, which was the function saying that bluCom wasn't in cfgRespawnInventories. "Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Sorry if this is a stupid question or anything, I just can't see where I've gone wrong, especially when not even the examples worked. Thanks for any help!

Hello. I have a great inventory respawn system and it works great in MP.

1. In the mission folder create a folder "mis_funcs"
2. Create a file there "fn_preinit.sqf" and add this:

Serp_unitprocessor = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "Equipment\unitprocessor.sqf";

3. In the mission folder create a folder "Equipment"
4. Create a file there "unitprocessor.sqf" and add this:

_unit = _this select 0;
_faction = _this select 1;
_loadout = _this select 2;

_item_processor = {
	removeAllItems _this;
	removeAllWeapons _this;
	removeAllItemsWithMagazines _this;
	removeAllAssignedItems _this;
	removeUniform _this;
	removeBackpack _this;
	removeGoggles _this;
	removeHeadgear _this;
	removeVest _this;
};

_unit call _item_processor;

_svn = format ["SerP_equipment_codes_%1_%2",_faction, _loadout];
if (isNil _svn) then
{
	missionNamespace setVariable [_svn, compile preprocessFileLineNumbers format ["Equipment\%1\%2.sqf", _faction, _loadout]];
};

[_unit] call (missionNamespace getVariable [_svn, {}]);

5. In the "Equipment" folder create two folders, "opfor" and "blufor"
6. Now, you can create a file, for example in the opfor folder, with the name "MyOpforUnit.sqf" and put there what you would like to see in the inventory. For example:

comment "Add Items, map, compass, watch and walkie-talkie";
_unit linkItem "ItemMap";
_unit linkItem "ItemCompass";
_unit linkItem "ItemWatch";
_unit linkItem "ItemRadio";

comment "Adding a uniform";
_unit forceAddUniform "RM_SWAT_Uniform_02";
_unit addGoggles "G_RM_SWAT_Bandana";
_unit addHeadgear "RM_SWAT_Helmet_01";
_unit addVest "RM_SWAT_Vest_01";

comment "Adding Items to the Uniform";
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_epinephrine";
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_EarPlugs";
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_tourniquet";
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_morphine"; };
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_fieldDressing"; };
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_elasticBandage";
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_quikclot";
_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_packingBandage";

comment "Adding items to the backpack";
for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {_unit addItemToVest "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855A1_Stanag"; };
for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {_unit addItemToVest "rhsusf_mag_17Rnd_9x19_JHP"; };
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToVest "ACE_M84"; };
_unit addItemToVest "SmokeShell";
_unit addItemToVest "rhs_mag_m67";
_unit addItemToVest "rhsusf_acc_nt4_black";

comment "Adding the main weapon and accessories to it";
_unit addWeapon "rhs_weap_m4a1_carryhandle";

comment "Adding secondary weapons and accessories to it";
_unit addWeapon "rhsusf_weap_glock17g4";
_unit addHandgunItem "rhsusf_acc_omega9k";

Ready. In the init of the unit we write:

call{if ( local this ) then {
     [this,"opfor","MyOpforUnit"] call SerP_unitprocessor;
};
if ( isServer ) then { 
  this addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { 
      params ["_unit", "_corpse"]; 
      [_unit, "opfor", "MyOpforUnit"] call SerP_unitprocessor; 
  }]; 
};

Oh. Forgot. You still need to include this function in description.ext
Create in the mission folder "description.ext" and paste there:

class CfgFunctions
{
    class mis
    {
        class Main
        {
            file="mis_funcs";
            class preinit
            {
                preInit=1;
                postInit=0;
            };
        };
    };
};

Thanks for your help zikofrap, turns out it was a combination of formatting issues (with other loadouts) plus I realised that I didn't spell description properly in the filename. CfgRespawnInventories does work, I just can't spell.
