Saving Weapons

[Sarge46 10]

How can I have weapons save after death, so you don't need to run to the box every time.

Add this to the player (init line or init.sqf):

_EHkilledIdx = player addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "playerKilled.sqf"}];

Create a file named playerkilled.sqf in your mission folder and write somethink like this in it:

_unit = _this select 0; //the killed unit
_weapons=weapons _unit; //get weapons
_magazines=magazines _unit; //get mags
waituntil {alive _unit}; //waits for the unit to respawn (is alive again)


{_unit addweapon _x;}foreach _weapons; //add weapons
{_unit addmagazine _x;}foreach _magazines; //add magazines

Please note that in MP the old weapons from the body dont get deleted.... so its possible to "cheat" you an infinite amount of weapons/mags with this script.

isn't there a way to lock a corpse - could've sworn there was a command for that.

alternatively you could just deletevehicle on the corpse upon respawn.

[NeoArmageddon 926]

clearweaponcargo _corpse;
clearmagazinecargo _corpse;

[xeno 184]

clearweaponcargo _corpse;
clearmagazinecargo _corpse;

That doesn't work with units.

Save the weapons and magazines in an array and then do

removeAllItems _corpse;

removeAllWeapons _corpse;

Furthermore, in the script above there's an error.

If you readd weapons and magazines after the player respawns you have to remove all weapons and items prior adding. Units spawn with a predefined set of weapons and magazines, even civilians respawn with items.

I've added the eventhandler as suggested above, and am using the script below:

_unit = _this select 0; //the killed unit
_weapons=weapons _unit; //get weapons
_magazines=magazines _unit; //get mags
waituntil {alive _unit}; //waits for the unit to respawn (is alive again)

removeallitems _unit;
removeallweapons _unit;
{_unit addweapon _x;}foreach _weapons; //add weapons
{_unit addmagazine _x;}foreach _magazines; //add magazines

The player does not respawn with their pre-death weapons.

What am I missing?

"_unit" will never become alive again. Change that to player, and you will be set.
