[Solved] Change uniform based on UID.

[kuplion 1785]

I'd like to be able to make my admin all spawn in with "Exile_Uniform_ExileCustoms" instead of "Exile_Uniform_BambiOverall" so they're easier to spot for other players out in the wild.

I'm tried  the UID Loadout at https://github.com/Jenartor/exile_uid-loadout/tree/master/uid_loadout but I can't seem to get it to add a new uniform. Can anyone help me out with this?

EDIT: Solved. Please see this post ( http://exile.majormittens.co.uk/topic/11226-solved-change-uniform-based-on-uid/#comment-63880 ) for the solution.

That code adds items.  You will want to add a line somewhere .. try at the bottom of that file that changes the uniform if the UID is true.
_bambiplayer forceadduniform  "Exile_Uniform_ExileCustoms".
 

Or you could just add that uniform into their items and they can put it on when they spawn.

I tried adding it as an item in a backpack so they could just equip it, but the backpack was added and the uniform was not. Thank you though, I'll give that other method a go.

i always try to help answer questions when i am at work ... it beats actually working  .. but the cellphone limits what information i can provide (should just keep quiet probably).

anyway .. on that code is this line right before the uid part

_bambiPlayer = _group createUnit ["Exile_Unit_Player", [0,0,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

 

so the player is created there , right below that and above the uid block you should be able to put in,something like this:

if ((getplayeruid _requestingplayer) in [adminuid,adminuid,etc]) then {

_bambiplayer forceadduniform "exile_uniform_exilecustoms";}

 

this would allow you to separate the admin from the normal player if you want

Ah that's a good shout. I'll try it now on my test server and see how it works. Thank you.

This worked perfectly, thank you so much.

[kuplion 1785]

Gimme a few minutes, I'll post it up.

Step 0: Backup your 'Exile.Altis.pbo' mission PBO and your 'exile_server_config.pbo' before making any changes; that way if something goes wrong, you can just copy them back in and be up and running.

Step 1: UnPBO your mission file and create a folder called "uid_loadout" in it.

Step 2: Copy this code and save it as 'ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest.sqf' in the 'uid_loadout' folder.

}
catch
{
	_exception call ExileServer_util_log;
};

 

Step 3: Open the 'config.cpp' in your mission and find "class CfgExileCustomCode" and paste the following into it.

Spoiler

	// Admin Loadout
	ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest = "uid_loadout\ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest.sqf";

 

Step 4: unPBO your 'exile_server_config.pbo' and add the following code at the end of 'config.cpp'.

Spoiler

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // UID LOADOUT CONFIGURATION by Jenartor
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  class UID_Loadout_Settings{
  	uidLoadoutMode = 1;

  	uids[] =
  	{
		"1234567890", // Admin1
		"0987654321", // Admin2
		"1234509876" // Admin3
  	};

    // ItemList
  	loadOut[] =
  	{
  		"ItemMap", // These bits are the standard items I want my adminsto spawn with
  		"Exile_Item_XM8", // These bits are the standard items I want my admins to spawn with
  		"Exile_Item_PlasticBottleCoffee", // These bits are the standard items I want my admins to spawn with
		"Exile_Item_EMRE" // These bits are the standard items I want my adminsto spawn with
  	};
  };

 

Step 5: Re-PBO everything, copy over the files back into position (mission file and server config file) and the start your server. Kill an Admin and they should respawn with the gear listed instead.

Please note, I took the code from https://github.com/Jenartor/exile_uid-loadout and claim no credit for it. Likewise, I wouldn't have got this working like I wanted without help from @ShootingBlanks, so thank you.
