Welcome Dialog on player connect

[Cael817 34]

So, as i wanted to relay information to connecting player about rules and whatnot. I wanted something simple they cannot avoid at least seeing briefly.

Make a init.sqf in the mission root if its not there already, if so add to it.

init.sqf

Spoiler

if (hasInterface || isServer) then {
[] call compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\welcome\welcome.sqf";
};

and make a welcome.sqf

addons\welcome\welcome.sqf

    You need a GPS or UAV terminal to see your or your vehicles exact position the map.
    <br/>
    Thermals is hopefully disabled.
    <br/>
    This server doesn't hold your hand, If you need that, find another server. I.e. shouting for an admin every 5s will not help and rule 2 applies.
    <br/>
    No, your lost items and money will not be replaced. This is ArmA, deal with it. Crying is done somewhere else.
    <br/>
    However, backups is made every hour so if shit hits the fan, we can go back.
    <br/>
    That being said, try to help out if someone asks, we where all new once, be patient and helpful to other players.
    <br/>
    This is a PVE and PVE server but try to stay away from engagement around the traders, it not nice and frowned upon.
    <br/>
    By clicking ""Continue"", you accept the rules and will not complain, ever!
    </t>" //No comma at the last line =)
];

/* hintC_arr_EH = findDisplay 72 displayAddEventHandler ["unload", { //Uncomment this section if you dont want the hint that follows when you click "continue" Thanks Pain2407
    0 = _this spawn {
        _this select 0 displayRemoveEventHandler ["unload", hintC_arr_EH];
        hintSilent "";
    };
}]; */

This should present you with something like this when you load into the server

and if you dont uncomment the last part you will have this hint for about a minute after you press "Continue".

Ofc you can change the paths to whatever you need, in my case i feel that most of this stuff fits in an addon or custom folder(and watch your comma's).

Thanks to @iCEtIMed and @Pain2407 who really made this thingy.

Hi!

Great, but, it instantly disappear, without any clic on Continue. Any idea?

[Azazel 4]
