Add rope requirement to Advanced Urban Rappelling

[BetterDeadThanZed 1006]

I'm using Advanced Urban Repelling: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=31357

Does anyone know of a way to require a player to have a rope in order to use this?

You can try adding this to your init.sqf file.
 

[] spawn {
waitUntil {!isNil "AUR_Rappel_Action_Check"};
AUR_Rappel_Action_Check = {
    params ["_player"];
    if(_player getVariable ["AUR_Is_Rappelling",false]) exitWith {false;};
    if(vehicle _player != _player) exitWith {false;};
    if(([_player] call AUR_Get_Player_Height_Above_Ground) < 4) exitWith {false};
    if!([_player,"FAST_EXISTS_CHECK"] call AUR_Find_Nearby_Rappel_Point) exitWith {false;};
    if(count ([_player,"POSITION"] call AUR_Find_Nearby_Rappel_Point) == 0) exitWith {false;};
    if!("Exile_Item_Rope" in magazines _player) exitWith {false};
    true;
	};
};

Tested and it works.

Thanks for trying but that didn't work. No errors in the logs either.

Hello Zed,

I think you will have to mod the actual script itself.  Every time it is 'activated', it would check to see if you have the rope and if not there, exit with a message.

Otherwise, you would have to write an 'outside of the mod' script to check for rope every ?.1? seconds (if not more often) and if not present and 'rappel' menu is showing, remove the menu item and 'repeat'.  This would waste a lot of cpu cycles for nothing.

 

Stop and think about it:

I have rope now - Rappel = Works

I respawn/drop/lose/sell the rope - Rappel = Fail

This 'check' would have to be made over and over every second the player is on.  An 'one time' check would not work, it MUST be constant.

 

ME?  I would re-write the actual script and push it out as a 'custom mod' that your players would have to get.  No 'wasted' cpu cycles until player tries to activate the script.  Only problem with this method is the player will not know this till they try to rappel and get a 'surprise'.  This could be addressed by changing the 'addmenu' text, as an example when they get next to a rooftop and it activates:

Player has no rope addmenu text - "Rope Needed For Rappel" - If selected, it aborts the script

Player has rope addmenu text - "Rappel" (normal text) - Runs normally

 

I could very well be wrong, but I think these will be about the only options...

???

Sorry forgot a close bracket. I just tested it and it works fine. Original post has been updated for you to copy. 
 

@Z80CPU Everything is customizable, just gotta know what to call.
