post me a picture of your respawn menu as you want it atm

#

and post all of your relevant scripts via pastebin or short code blocks

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

why would I need to change the respawn menu?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 1:44 AM

#

you don't, i just want to see what you currently have

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 1:46 AM

#

It's the same as it always was

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 1:48 AM

#

now what 3CB classes do you want to use? i'll be in the process of downloading the mod

#

what units do you have placed down in the editor? what unit inventories do you want to replicate

#

like what is in blufor_squad, give me the whole array

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 1:56 AM

#

No units placed down in the editor. No specific units or inventories, basically whatever is defined in the faction array. There is a parameter in the multiplayer menu where the faction can be selected.

alright give me a sec to download the 3cb factions

i need to dig through their configs

This is the first faction I am testing. opfor_squad = the first array in this array

#

my preemptive tells me that because of how that mod is made, which has a post init script that fills the inventory will either break everything else in that list, or it won't work for itself. all 3CB stuff has that. and its the main reason why I actually never use it

#

its really a mod for the layman, non modder. and its always annoying for modders

#

but hold out until i get it downloaded and i'll dig through their stuff

#

here's a snippet I have been using for reference

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 2:02 AM

#

what main class is all of that under?

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 2:02 AM

#

I already added an arsenal init script (the arsenal is populated only with items from the classes) that parses the custom configs.

#

let me check, it was a unit

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 2:03 AM

#

ok so a unit. thats all i need

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 2:03 AM

#

UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_RIF_1

#

this one specifically

#

3cb is certainly not a mod for the layman. You can't utilize the factions without intimate knowledge of how the mod works, which is why I question the design

#

I would make a patch if it was reasonable to attempt

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:18 AM

#

first off, obfuscated - for not even a pvp mission/mod. straight dump. can get through it anyways, its just annoying to do.

secondly, I win:

#

#

you'll have to do your own function with the classname that I can get you though for post spawning adding of items. that's on you. I did the ui work lol

#

proof of concept code, you'll have to modify if the event handler doesn't keep on respawn (readd it)

https://pastebin.com/Gu7R73cQ

#

your loadout data will be saved in

`player getVariable "Rylan_LoadoutData"`

unpack it with:

private _loadoutData = player getVariable "Rylan_LoadoutData";
if (isNil "_loadoutData") exitWith {};

_loadoutData params ["_classname", "_displayName", "_config"];

// you now have _classname _displayName and _config to work with

#

@open moon

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:29 AM

#

I'll look at it right now

#

If I put systemChat str _loadoutData; after line 64 the text should show the correct classname as the first element in the displayer array, or is that not the proper way to check its accuracy?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:34 AM

#

look in your log file, i used diag_log

#

and what you suggest will do the whole 3 element array

#

index 0 is the classname

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

I really hate to say it but it's wrong

#

a few of the classes produce a zero divisor error on line 51

#

it doesn't seem to update when you only select the left dropdown. Maybe my implementation is wrong. Probably that's it, I'll try and figure it out

#

tysm for having the patience to help me on this lol

#

I owe you one

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

it works for the 3 things I tested but that's all i tested

#

and if it errors, its not going to update anyways as the code is killed early

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

are those three units you tested in the same role?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

1 is separate, 2 are in same

#

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

where did you execute the script from?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

just had it in init.sqf

#

if it errored at 51, that means nothing was returned at index 1 from the metadata function. so something wasn't populated at some point. just add a check after that to make sure that index 1 exists

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

I'll do that. Seems the same classes always make it fail. LAT Riflemen, HAT Rifleman, Junior officer, and a few others. I don't see why that should happen, everything should be configured the same way as your test, in essence

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

give me the class names of those and ill test them

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_GL",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_RIF_1",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_RIF_2",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_SNI",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_TL",
        //"UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_UAV",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_AR",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_JNR_OFF",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_MK",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_SL",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_MG",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_MD",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_LMG",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_LAT",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_HAT"

It might only happen when they are all added

#

        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_JNR_OFF",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_LAT",
        "UK3CB_CSAT_G_O_HAT"

#

I can check for all the ones that cause the fault

#

Oh and I commented the UAV class to see if that was the issue. It causes an error because of the role definition being bad so it switches to default. Removing it didn't seem to help

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

yeah those last 2 error for me. let me see what it is doing

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:53 AM

#

all the other classes are incorrect as well. It doesn't look like they are shifted or anything though so idk what it might be

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

so the respawn menu is failing to add it to the metadata array... the JNR_OFF works though, the other 2 nope

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

For me everything after "Grenedier" in the rifleman role causes the error

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

kk sec

#

i think i found the error. ui controls not playing together well:

https://pastebin.com/Gu7R73cQ

try that

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

the error is gone but the classes are not associated correctly. Perhaps an issue with the order? Do the loadouts appear in your respawn menu in the same order they appear in your script?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 4:03 AM

#

ooo yeah i missed that since i used 2 riflemen

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 4:03 AM

#

if (uk3cbFoundWest || uk3cbFoundEast) then {execVM "scripts\client\LoadoutClassCheck.sqf"};
// Create Loadouts
{
    [west, [_x]] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory;
} forEach blufor_squad;

{
    [east, [_x]] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory;
} forEach opfor_squad;

Perhaps this causes a discrepancy?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 4:04 AM

#

no its because the UI orders it in order of alphabetical, so i'll have to sort the array after that manually alphabetically. annoying lol

#

ill pick this up tomorrow, im headed to bed

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 4:14 AM

#

Ok, sounds good. Thanks again

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

i lied, thought about it in the shower and i'll just do a index search through the data array:

https://pastebin.com/Gu7R73cQ

try that

open moon Sep 7, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

This appears to work entirely as expected

#

nice work, seriously

#

I appreciate it so much

#

thank you

#

One question though, do you know if the loadout variable updates when a player selects only something on the left, or simply doesn't select anything at all?

tawny maple Sep 7, 2024, 5:35 AM

#

on role menu change (selects the default right after it populates) AND right loadout dropdown change
