Question about SAVE GEAR script. Help needed!

[colonel_paz 10]

Hello guys!

I'm making a mission for multiplayer, and i'm using this script for a save gear or weapons that I found around these forums:

#start
@ (! alive player)
_weapons = weapons player
_magazines = magazines player

@ (alive player)
removeallweapons player

{player addMagazine _x} foreach _magazines
{player addWeapon _x} foreach _weapons
goto "start";

My question is: Can I edit that somehow, so the things a player has inside a ruck he had when he died, respawn as well inside the ruck? or is there another script I can use?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

some bits from evolution script that may help

in init.sqf

BIS_EVO_pallammo = ["PipeBomb","Laserbatteries","HandGrenade_East","HandGrenade_East","30Rnd_545x39_AK","30Rnd_545x39_AK","30Rnd_545x39_AK","30Rnd_545x39_AK","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov"];// The players default load out
BIS_EVO_pweapons = ["AKS_74_U","Makarov","Laserdesignator","NVGoggles"]; // The players default load out

in mission.sqm (in sensors)

		class Item34
	{
		position[]={4535.8418,0.2942608,1796.9813};
		repeating=1;
		interruptable=1;
		age="UNKNOWN";
		text="LoadoutRecorder";
		expCond="animationState player == ""amovpercmstpslowwrfldnon_gear"" or animationState player == ""amovpercmstpsraswrfldnon_gear""";
		expActiv="hint""Weapons Saved"";";
		expDesactiv="BIS_EVO_pallammo = magazines player;BIS_EVO_pweapons = weapons player;";
		class Effects
		{
		};
	};

and

	class Item36
	{
		position[]={4350.207,0.18258563,1817.4297};

		expCond="alive player and local player";
		expActiv="spawn = player execVM ""data\scripts\spawn.sqf"";";
		class Effects
		{
		};
	};

in spawn.sqf

if (not (local player)) exitwith {};
_player = player;
removeAllWeapons _player;
{player addmagazine _x} forEach BIS_EVO_pallammo;
{player addweapon _x} forEach BIS_EVO_pweapons;
player selectweapon (primaryWeapon player);
player addweapon "ItemCompass";	
player addweapon "ItemGPS";
player addweapon "ItemMap";
player addweapon "ItemRadio";
player addweapon "ItemWatch";

He was asking about the ruck though, which honestly I didn't manage to solve very well either because of how weird the ACE ruck system implementation is.

[eggbeast 3673]

ah i misread it - i thought he meant all things other than primary weapon and secondary weapon etc

[galzohar 31]

Additionally, if you want to save stuff like GPS, gas mask etc you should also have _items=items player and then removeAllItems player; {player addWeapon _x} forEach _items; when he respawns.

Of course you probably want to save the loadout into a global variable at the crate rather than save it on every death, that way you will start with the full loadout that you saved at the start rather than whatever you were holding when you died.

[Woodstock21 10]

an easy soultion would be to implement Norrins revive script because it gives you the option to respawn with the equipment that you died with, and i also belive that it save the stuff in the ruck as well. i could be wrong though.

From my mission - Nightmares ....

take snapshot script - callable via action menu.

//#define DEBUG_MODE_FULL
#include "\x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_common.hpp"

private["_unit", "_weapons", "_magazines", "_ruck_weapons", "_ruck_magazines"];

_unit = player;
hint localize "STR_MISSION_TAKING_SNAPSHOT";

_weapons = weapons _unit;
_magazines = magazines _unit;
_ruck_weapons = [_unit] call ACE_fnc_RuckWeaponsList;
_ruck_magazines = [_unit] call ACE_fnc_RuckMagazinesList;

_unit setVariable["GearSnapshot", [_weapons, _magazines, _ruck_weapons, _ruck_magazines], true];

clear snapshot script - callable via action menu.

//#define DEBUG_MODE_FULL
#include "\x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_common.hpp"

private["_unit"];

_unit = player;
hint localize "STR_MISSION_CLEARING_SNAPSHOT";

_unit setVariable["GearSnapshot", nil, true];

Event handler section in description.ext file.

class Extended_Killed_Eventhandlers {
class Man {
	mission_kia = "ok = _this execVM ""kia.sqf""";
};
};

And KIA handler that respawns the gear.

//#define DEBUG_MODE_FULL
#include "\x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_common.hpp"

PARAMS_2(_unit,_killer);
private[
"_gear_snap",
"_player",
"_primary",
"_weapons",
"_magazines",
"_ruck_weapons",
"_ruck_magazines"
];

_player = player;
ISNILS(KIALag,0);

if ( _unit == _player ) then {
_gear_snap = _unit getVariable "GearSnapshot";
};

if ( ! isNil "_gear_snap" ) then {
EXPLODE_4(_gear_snap,_weapons,_magazines,_ruck_weapons,_ruck_magazines);

waitUntil {alive player};

_player = player;

if ( KIALag > 0 ) then {
	sleep KIALag;
};

removeAllWeapons _player;
removeAllItems _player;

{
	_player addMagazine _x;
} forEach _magazines;

{
	_player addWeapon _x;
} forEach _weapons;

{
	ok = [_player, _x select 0, _x select 1] call ACE_fnc_PackMagazine;
} forEach _ruck_magazines;

{
	ok = [_player, _x select 0, _x select 1] call ACE_fnc_PackWeapon;
} forEach _ruck_weapons;

_primary = primaryWeapon _player;

if ( _primary != "" ) then {
	_player selectWeapon _primary;
	_player selectWeapon ( getArray(configFile>>"cfgWeapons" >> _primary >> "muzzles") select 0 );
};
};

sleep 10;

hideBody _unit;

Note there is a global variable in this script used to adjust delay in respawning gear. This is to avoid a race condition in some event handlers.

Use a Killed EventHandler :)

[kheiro 10]

Cyborg112 it works perfectly...

[Woodstock21 10]

sorry for the noob question but what is a killed event handler. basically what im asking is how do i get the game to call that script that cyborg posted.

[Cyborg11 10]

Write this in the init line of your units:

this addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "weaponrespawn.sqf"}];

More informations about that EventHandler can be found here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#Killed

[logitrust 10]

Exactly what I've been looking for to get to work global. Worth Gold :-)

[USMCWall 0]

Can't seem to get this to work, the saveloadout.sqf works, but when I'm dying none of the gear is coming back. I put the event handler in the init line, and made the weaponrespawn.sqf but to no avail.
