hey guys, I have found I can allow connections to my server using UID (or more to the point disallow players from joining if they're Steam ID is not in an allowed list.

I am sure there is a way of doing other things with it so I have been expermenting with the following idea.

I have a nested array of players that includes player name, UID, and a couple of other settings I would like to set when a player joins the server.

I use ace so would like to be able to set the Medical, Engineering and EOD perms through this system. 

players = [
    [
        "76561198001748042",  // Dungeon Master
        0,                    // Medical (0 = none, 1 = Combat Medic, 2 = Doctor)
        0,                    // Engineer (0 = no, 1 = yes)
        0                     // EOD (0 = no, 1 = yes)
    ]
];

allowedPlayers = pushBack players (select 0 in each of the sub arrays); // I don't know how to get the position 0 of a sub array and can't find anything on google to explain it.

I would like to have these settings set when a player connects so in initPlayerLocal.sqf I need to put the following codes

  

_player = [player name, getplayerUID player];
_name = _player select 0;
_uid = _player select 1;
_medic = players (each nested array select 1); // I don't know how to do this and the same for engineer and EOD
_engineer = players (each nested array select 2);
_eod = players (each nested array select 3);

if (_uid !in allowedPlayers) then {
    endMission 3;
} else {
	if (_medic == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",1,true];
	};
	if (_medic == 2) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",2,true];
	};
	if (_engineer == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_IsEngineer",1,true];
	};
	if (_EOD == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_isEOD",1,true];
	};

Try something like: (I modified some variables) 

DRA_players = [[ "76561198001748042",0,1,1,1] ,[ "76561198001748043",2,1,1,1]];
private _allowedPlayers = DRA_players apply {_x#0};
private _player = [name player, getplayerUID player];
_player params ["_name","_uid"];
if !(_uid in _allowedPlayers) exitWith {endMission "END3"};
private _playerData = DRA_players select (DRA_players find {_x#0 == "_uid"});
_playerData params ["_uid","_medic","_engineer","_eod"];
if (_medic >0) then { player setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",_medic,true]};
if (_engineer == 1) then { player setVariable ["ACE_IsEngineer",1,true]};
if (_eod == 1) then { player setVariable ["ACE_isEOD",1,true]};

*edit* - @pierremgi has provided a nice, concise version ^^^

 

Iterate through your array "players," pushing back the first nested element: 

allowedPlayers = [];

{
	allowedPlayers pushBack (_x #0);
} forEach players;

  

private _player = [player name, getplayerUID player];
private _name = _player #0;
private _uid = _player #1;

if (_uid !in allowedPlayers) then {  //  need to check this before we look for UID in "players" else error
    endMission 3;
} else {

	private _index = players find _uid; // returns index of element that contains UID
	private _element = players #_index;
	private _medic = _element #1;
	private _engineer = _element #2;
	private _eod = _element #3;

	if (_medic == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",1,true];
	};
	if (_medic == 2) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",2,true];
	};
	if (_engineer == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_IsEngineer",1,true];
	};
	if (_EOD == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_isEOD",1,true];
	};

hey guys. thanks again for all your help. I have got the majority of this working so far I think however I have added some additional sections.

The two problems I am having now is no matter what I set my "Role" as selection 5 of the _allPlayers sub array it always loads the "commander.sqf" script and the second issue is the _this setUnitRank _rank; command is not working it keeps giving me an error saying Type Array expected Object or something similar to that.

This is the whole code that runs in initPlayerLocal.sqf

Spoiler 

// UID, Medical (0 = none, 1 = Combat Medic, 2 = Doctor), Engineer (0 = no, 1 = yes), EOD (0 = no, 1 = yes), Rank ("PRIVATE" · "CORPORAL" · "SERGEANT" · "LIEUTENANT" · "CAPTAIN" · "MAJOR" · "COLONEL"), Role ("Commander", "PlatoonLead", "SquadLead", "Rifleman")
private _allPlayers = [
    [ "myUID", 0, 0, 0, "COLONEL", "rifleman" ], // me
	[ "aDifferentUID", 0, 0, 0, "COLONEL", "commander" ]  // Someone Else
];
private _allowedPlayers = [];
{
	_allowedPlayers pushBack (_x #0);
} forEach _allPlayers;

private _player = [name player, getplayerUID player];
private _name = _player #0;
private _uid = _player #1;

if !(_uid in _allowedPlayers) then {  //  need to check this before we look for UID in "players" else error
    endMission 3;
} else {

	private _index = DM_allPlayers apply {_x #0 } find _uid;  // returns index of element that contains UID
	private _element = _allPlayers #_index;
	private _medic = _element #1;
	private _engineer = _element #2;
	private _eod = _element #3;
	private _rank = _element #4;
	private _role = _element #5;

	if (_medic == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",1,true];
	};
	if (_medic == 2) then {
		_this setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",2,true];
	};
	if (_engineer == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_IsEngineer",1,true];
	};
	if (_EOD == 1) then {
		_this setVariable ["ACE_isEOD",1,true];
	};
	// _this setUnitRank _rank;
	execVM format ["DM_Scripts\DM_Loudouts\%1.sqf", _role];
};

 


I these loadouts stored in seperate SQF files

Solved by changing 

private _index = DM_allPlayers find _uid;

to  

private _index = DM_allPlayers apply {_x #0 } find _uid;

New task related to this.

I want to extend the controls so that players create or join a specified group when they connect

Group names are Spartan, Alpha, Hotel, Apollo, Artemis, Hades and Hydra.

I want them to set the Squad Leader to highest ranking member unless someone has joined with the role SquadLead.

Is this possible?
