How do i get it so when the player/ai re-spawns in MP, they get this loadout, not the defualt one, or wepons they have picked up.

i have tried to do add event handler killed --> [this] exec "RU_CM.sqs" but i cant get it to work.

TIA, grim.

SRY, wrong thread, and i cant delete it. i haven't really used this place much!

You don't really want the isServer there, since that won't work on players.

[shuko 59]

Your evenhandler should work, just add waituntil that checks when the player has respawned. Your script runs as soon as the played died, way before he has respawned.

Ermh, whatever waituntil is in SQS, @?

[Grimfist 0]

ty but how do i this?

[cobra4v320 27]

waitUntil {alive player};

_unit = player;

removeAllWeapons _unit;

{_unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"} foreach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];

_unit addWeapon "AK_107_GL_Kobra";

{_unit addMagazine "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov"} foreach [1,2];

_unit addWeapon "Makarov";

{_unit addMagazine "HandGrenade_East"} foreach [1,2];

{_unit addMagazine "SmokeShellRed"} foreach [1,2];

{_unit addMagazine "FlareRed_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];

{_unit addMagazine "1Rnd_SMOKERED_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];

_unit addWeapon "Binocular";

while {true} do { //remove this

waitUntil {alive player};

_unit = player;

removeAllWeapons _unit;

{_unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"} foreach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];

_unit addWeapon "AK_107_GL_Kobra";

{_unit addMagazine "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov"} foreach [1,2];

_unit addWeapon "Makarov";

{_unit addMagazine "HandGrenade_East"} foreach [1,2];

{_unit addMagazine "SmokeShellRed"} foreach [1,2];

{_unit addMagazine "FlareRed_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];

{_unit addMagazine "1Rnd_SMOKERED_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];

_unit addWeapon "Binocular";

}; //remove this

Bad idea. It will continually add the gear to the unit. Remove the while loop.

so what do i actually put in my script,

waitUntil {alive player}; ? is it sqs or ?

[kylania 568]

That's SQF. With possible exception of camera scripts, most everything you code should probably be in SQF.

[Grimfist 0]

im quite new to all this scripting stuff, so i will convert all my load-out scripts to use SQF (not SQS). and then what, what do i add in to make it so the player always re-spawns with these weapons, or will SQF do that automatically?

ty BTW

[Bon 12]

You just have to add the command to wait for the player to be alive again after he died so it will wait to give the player unit the weapons until the new entitiy is created, i.e. the player respawned. I think on sqs format this is done by

@(alive player),

on sqf format it is done by WaitUntil{alive player};

Thus this script is executed by a "killed" eventhandler you can be sure the unit is dead already when the script starts, all what's left is

to add the wait command to the appropriate line in your script:

; Get the unit parameter given
_unit = _this select 0
@(alive _unit)

That's it.

But: it really is a good idea to learn sqf and not use sqs anymore. Do yourself a favour and write all your future scripts in sqf format.

[kylania 568]

SQF is just a syntax for the coding, it doesn't do anything on it's own. Just a way for you to tell the system to do something. :)

To convert your first posted script to SQF is very simple. Just replace all the comment semi-colons with // then just add a semi-colon to the end of every line ;

As far as getting what you want done, use the code Cobra posted above in your init.sqf:

waitUntil {alive player};

_unit = player;

removeAllWeapons _unit;

{_unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"} foreach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
_unit addWeapon "AK_107_GL_Kobra";
{_unit addMagazine "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov"} foreach [1,2];
_unit addWeapon "Makarov";
{_unit addMagazine "HandGrenade_East"} foreach [1,2];
{_unit addMagazine "SmokeShellRed"} foreach [1,2];
{_unit addMagazine "FlareRed_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];
{_unit addMagazine "1Rnd_SMOKERED_GP25"} foreach [1,2,3,4];
_unit addWeapon "Binocular";

ahh ty m8, i will go about doing this now, ty for your help everyone, i really appreciate it.

and now im going to learn sqf :)
