[QUESTION] Custom Flags - Limiting Them By UID - Code Check

[DY357LX 3]

We've got custom flags in, now we're attempting to so only certain players can use their custom flags.

Would this work?

class CfgFlags 
{
	class USA
	{
		name = "USA";
		texture = "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_us_co.paa";
		uid = "";
	};
	if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["PLAYERUIDHERE"]) then
	{
		class CUSTOMFLAG1
		{
			name = "CUSTOMFLAG1";
			texture = "custom\flags\CUSTOMFLAG1.paa";
			uid = "";
		};
	};
};

Or will the lack of "else" statement break things?

Thanks.

No, that most likely will not work.  That file is a .CPP and not a .SQF, meaning they have entirely different syntax.  You would need to edit the function where the list is populated for players to only show those that are allowed for them.  Sounds way more simplistic than it really is I think.

but an good idea!

mhh try this?
 

class USA
	{
		name = "USA";
		texture = "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_us_co.paa";
		uid = "YOURUIDHERE?";
	};

@Warsheep - Would that work? Is it really that simple?

For multiple UID's would this be the correct format:
 

uid[] = {"CUSTOMUID1","CUSTOMUID2"};

Grim had made a post on this in the old forums do it like i have it here and just make new entries and make sure they point to the right file and its as simple as that, but this is in the exile.altis config.cpp so the images need to be in there also so unless you make small files it can get pretty big.

class CfgFlags 
{
	class USA
	{
		name = "USA";
		texture = "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_us_co.paa";
		uid = "PLACE UID HERE";
	};
};

Yeah I've got 2 custom flags in and working already. I just need to limit them to the right owners/players to stop them moaning

Any idea if my array code will work for multiple UIDs?

Hou have to change Uid to

 

uids[] = {"id","id"};

};

Work this now with uids[] = {"id","id"};  ??

Like this

prof: this file exileclient_gui_setupterritorydialog_show.sqf <---

class DK
{
	name = "Denmark";
	texture = "IAT\texture\flag_dk.paa";
	uids[] = {};
};
class DKPRIAVTE
{
	name = "DenmarkPriv";
	texture = "IAT\texture\flag_dk.paa";
	uids[] = {"ID1","ID2"};
};
