Completely remove hotwire

[red_ned 658]

I have a PVE server so with code change I really wanted to remove the knife hotwire so thought I would release just in case others wanted to do the same.

1. Create a text file and rename to ExileClient_action_hotwireVehicle_condition.sqf

2. Paste the following code into the file and save it:

private["_vehicle","_result"];
_vehicle = _this;
_result = "";
try
{
 if (ExilePlayerInSafezone) then
 {
  throw "Hotwire is disabled on this server";
 };
 if !(ExilePlayerInSafezone) then
 {
  throw "Hotwire is disabled on this server";
 };
}
catch
{
 _result = throw "Hotwire is disabled on this server";
};
_result

3. Put file into your mission PBO.

4. Open your mission PBO and edit the config.cpp and find the section: class CfgExileCustomCode

Insert the following between the {};

Quote

  // disable hotwire
 ExileClient_action_hotwireVehicle_condition = "ExileClient_action_hotwireVehicle_condition.sqf";

Remembering if you use folders to put the full path in.

5. Save and repack your PBO with the adjusted config and new file in.

6. Enjoy no one stealing stuff, just puts up message "Hotwire is disabled on this server" no matter what people select or where they are.

Basically I added the condition "if player is not in the safe zone" to the original "if player is in the safe zone" which basically means anywhere on the map!

just to be sure I changed last bit for safety but shouldn't affect anything

Just so you're aware you don't need to throw in the catch, you only 'throw' an exception when trying something, as you mention its for 'safety' you can just do

couldn't you just remove the knife from loot spawning and the traders?

Is the knife not used for anything else than just hotwiring?

That's all I did till I could change the success percentage.

removing the knife is a bit of a pain as its useful to have in for extra crafting and also it can be a pain to make sure it doesn't spawn from any mission system, remove from loot tables and then you may as well disable in 1 script and give people notice its disabled.

the exception call is good though thanks @KamikazeXeX
