I am still a bit confused on what you mean by this. In the editor I have added a class known as "Rifelman" I can spawn in and play as him when the server runs, how to I specify that I want him to have custom gear? I have Now customized my sniper and medic but nothing else seems to be carrying through
With vanilla wasteland, the player load outs are based off of 'Type' (see your mission.sqm file), therefore as within the file 'client/functions/playerSetupGear.sqf' you will see that, for example a MEDIC has the Type name/string of "B_medic_F" (BLUFOR Medic), and
playerSetupGear.sqf searches for the string "_medic_" to identify that your character IS actually a medic and proceeds with the medic load out.^ I hope that makes sense.
So in order to add in new/different classes of players, you will need to base your code structure on the 'Type' field (within mission.sqm), then append code to the playerSetupGear.sqf file case structure.
Example... this code below will search 'Type' (which is the actual class name) for '
_RifleMan_', if it is found for the players character, it will then load out the player with the items contained for a rifleman.
case (["_RifleMan_", typeOf _player] call fn_findString != -1):
{
_player addWeapon "Binocular";
_player addMagazine ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag_Tracer_Yellow", 20];
_player addMagazine "UGL_FlareWhite_F";
_player addWeapon "arifle_Mk20_GL_plain_F";
_player addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_flashlight";
_player addMagazine "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";
_player addWeapon "hgun_ACPC2_F";
_player addMagazine "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";
_player addItem "MineDetector";
_player addItem "Toolkit";
};There are other ways to do load outs, but based off of vanilla A3Wasteland, this is the most simple process.
Place in your rifleman character (playable unit) within EDEN, save the mission file, take note of the class name, example "
B_RifleMan_F", then append playerSetupGear.sqf with the above code within the 'case' structure to reflect the string which in this case would be "
_RifleMan_".
An example of code breakdown in more simple terms via local variables and if statement...
_playerTrait = typeOf _player; // returns class (B_medic_F)
_isMedic = ["_medic_",_playerTrait] call fn_findString; // searches _playerTrait for containing '_medic_', returns bool (true/false)
if (_isMedic) then // if _isMedic returned TRUE then do load out for medic
{
_player addWeapon "Binocular";
_player addMagazine ["30Rnd_9x21_Mag", 25];
_player addWeapon "SMG_02_F";
_player addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_flashlight";
_player addMagazine "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";
_player addWeapon "hgun_ACPC2_F";
_player addMagazine "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";
_player addItem "Medikit";
_player addItem "FirstAidKit";
};Anyway... I hope that helps (you learn) in what you want to achieve by adding in a new playable class (rifleman).
