[HG] Simple Weapon Shop System v1.0 (sample mission included)

 

Just what the community had been waiting for :D

[hoverguy 177]

It's a really really really (really?) simple weapons shop system, if people like it then I can add more features, just ask me.

[ArmaMan360 94]

It's a really really really (really?) simple weapons shop system, if people like it then I can add more features, just ask me.

I want to incorporate it in my SP missions. Hence some questions:

 

1. Can I take the entire code of initPlayerLocal.sqf and put it in a separate shopinit.sqf and run callcompile on shopinit.sqf in the init.sqf?

2. In the pursuit of changing it to SP friendly with mission load capability, can I let go of disableSerialization; in the line 104 of initPlayerLocal.sqf? I read it earlier somewhere that disableSerialization wont allow the code to execute at mission load.

3. I want to add a line just before the addaction line that will add cash after each AI that I kill. Something like:

[] spawn {
    {_x addeventhandler ["killed", {HG_myCash = HG_myCash + 200}]; // just made it up as I want to earn 200 cash at each kill
    } forEach allUnits;
};

Will it work?

 

 

Thanks :)

1. Yes you can compile all the fncs, or you can use the CfgFunctions method

2. disableSerialization is needed when you want to store displays/controls in variables

3. You set the variable HG_myCash on player's initialization using setVariable (player setVariable["HG_myCash",15000]), then maybe something like this:

 

[] spawn 
{
    {
        _x addEventHandler 
        [
            "Killed", 
            {
                private["_unit","_killer];
                _unit = _this select 0;
                _killer = _this select 1;
       
                if((isPlayer _killer) AND {_killer != _unit}) then
                {
                    private["_oldCash","_newCash"];
                    _oldCash = _killer getVariable "HG_myCash";
                    _newCash = _oldCash + 200;
                    _killer setVariable ["HG_myCash",_newCash];
                };
           
            }
        ];
    } forEach allUnits;

};

Great. Let me test. Thank you. :)

Man, I really hope that one day we will get a full Arsenal-like shop with lets you kit yourself out. A system for money gathering should also be created. For example you could have score based money (you kill enemies and their vehicles you get money), you could spice it up with looting from dead enemies.

 

Still, thanks for the script.

Check post#5 at the top man. Its SP friendly and does the same thing which you and I are craving for ;)

It will add 200 cash to your pocket at each kill.

 

I am modifying this script to include items and ammo also. But experiencing some hindrances. Hopefully hoverguy will reach there before me. ;)

 

Additionally you can put the addaction line to an object like a shop owner or flag instead of player to make it look like wasteland.

 

This is a very neat script indeed. :)

Vehicle magazine request ;)  Is it possible to lock "buy ability" to specific units? Thank you for a script.

You're welcome, I have a similar system in my own mission where money is an inventory item (physical), you can drop/gather/loot it, buy stuff etc...

You're welcome too!

What do you mean by "Is it possible to lock buy ability" to specific units, please be more precise.

New version is on the way which will include:

- Magazines / Items / Scopes support

- More weapon infos (instead of just the price...)

- Localization support

- And some minor additions...

Really appreciate man. Thank you. :)

Thank you.  It is not necessary for weapons but may be useful for vehicle shop. Just a feature request if you gonna make something similar with vehicles. I mean make it possible to specify who can buy vehicles.

P. S. We play one life TvT missions and that ability may give more diversity to gameplay if you give HQ some credits and list of vehicles to buy.

So you want a proper vehicle shop? With control of who can buy what vehicle? Based on rank? Side? Tell me more...

Really appreciate man. Thank you. :)

YW, next update will include configurable kits (recon, rifleman etc...).

[supergruntsb78 67]

is there a way to include several shops  on a map with this ? 

 

i would like to implent a gun shop (this excelent script) but also some small shops with custom items wich you can buy (using the items list fom this script) (its for starting a campaign where the player becomes a resistance member)

Hi,

 

So basically you want different shops on different parts of the map? So you want to be able to choose what shop you want to display right? Will be in the next update, thanks for your suggestion.

 

So far next update will include:

- Configurable kits (recon, rifleman etc...)

- Ability to choose what shop you want to display (better shop customization)

Thank you for the constant support man. Just a suggestion, make the addaction configurable from outside. Like "add this line to the init of desired unit or object to make it/him a shop."

This may help those who are beginners with scripting

:)

I'll add it to the README.txt ;)

Yes. We need whitelist for vehicles and whitelist for players (unit name placed in editor is enough for our purposes). For example, you name units (HQ_1) and (HQ_2) and they have ability to buy any whitelisted vehicle. The best variant will be if they get that ability in some zone (marker maybe).

I will make the vehicle shop, but I have to think global you know, the final product has to be pretty straightforward and has to work in both SP & MP environments.

So knowing this, a PUID whitelist is the best I can think of right now (with ability to add PUID on the go, which is good to setup a reward system for example where you unlock vehicles).

Of course you will need markers to spawn said vehicles (configurable).

Don't worry, I think you'll be pleased :)

[ArmaMan360 94]

Yeah plz dnt abandon SP players..

[gagi2 50]

looks really nice... i think im going to add this to our king of the hill server too ^^

just need to figure out how to replace the money payment with a level based one..

get weapon x with level y etc

but what i have seen so far this should be possible to get it working with a few tweaks here and there...

 

keep up the good work! B)
