on loadout selection, save loadout, set saved loadout on respawn.

[tobias-ripper 2]

hello everyone, 1st post here. been looking for a way to have players respawn with the last loadout they had selected, and have it be fresh. im just getting my feet wet with making scenarios. i tried to search for it but by god the forum is overcrowded with posts and tbh, i don't want to feel that discouraged on day one. so, basically the idea would be to save a loadout when selected in arsenal, and apply that saved loadout on respawn. is there a "onLoadoutSelection.sqf" kind of thing i can use? i already have tried the onplayerkilled / onrespawn .sqf and the usual code that goes with it, but its not what i actually want. unless there is more code i can add to those, that would make it work as i intent.

well yes, im pretty much asking for a handout but its not just me being lazy, im trully lost in all the options and info available. im sorry if this was asked a million times before 😞

Hello, Welcome to BI forums!

See my video here for that:

 

[jakeplissken 81]

In initPlayerLocal.sqf.

 

[missionnamespace,"arsenalClosed", {
	[player, [missionNamespace, "inventory_var"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;
	titletext ["Arsenal loadout saved.", "PLAIN DOWN"];
}] call bis_fnc_addScriptedEventhandler;

[missionnamespace,"arsenalOpened", {
	cuttext [format ["Welcome %1, your role is: %2.",profileNameSteam ,getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf player) >> "displayName")],"PLAIN", 3];
}] call bis_fnc_addScriptedEventhandler;

In the onPlayerRespawn.sqf file.

 

[player, [missionNamespace, "inventory_var"]] call BIS_fnc_loadInventory;

This will save the loadout when closing the arsenal and reload it when they respawn. This is very simple.
