Save loadout script?

[FelixK44]

So.......I'm playing an edited Evolution map w/ ACE and a bunch of other mods but how would I go about saving my weapon loadout?...it gets rather boring and time consuming having to regear every death..........

P.S.

I mean only keeping my primary,secondary,nvg,binocular slot, and ammo.......

(Think respawning in CoD/MW2 w/ your selected loadout............)


EDIT: Found a solution only problem is you respawn with what ever you had when you died not the loadout you picked from a weaponbox........

(Put this in init.sqs)
[] exec "WeaponRespawn\WRespawn_Init.sqs";

//WRespawn_Init.sqs
#start
@ (! alive player)
_weapons = weapons player
_magazines = magazines player

@ (alive player)
removeallweapons player

{player addMagazine _x} foreach _magazines
{player addWeapon _x} foreach _weapons
goto "start"

If anyone has a better solution let me know please but I guess this will work for now :0

hello,
this is this one I use, works very well.

your options are:

if method is 0, the player gets the same weapons he started out with every time

if method is 1, the player gets the same weapons he had when he died

;Universal Weapons Respawn Script v1.04 (March 31, 2003) revised (February 1, 2007)
;Required Version: ArmA
;original by toadlife revised by norrin for ArmA
;toadlife@toadlife.net
;intialize like this: ["unitname",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
;            Or this: ["unitname",1] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
;
; * "unitname" = The name of the player the script runs on (must be enclosed by quotes!)
; * 0/1 = method of repleneshing weapons
;  **if method is 0, the player gets the same weapons he started out with every time
;  **if method is 1, the player gets the same weapons he had when he died
;
; Advanced example method of initializing script - put the following lines in your init.sqs,
; and replce the unit names with your own:
;_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9","w10","w11","w12","w13","w14","w15","w16","w17","w18"]
;{[_x,0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"} foreach _units
;
;

~(random 0.3)
_name = _this select 0
_method = _this select 1
_hasrifle = false
_unit = call compile format["%1",_name]
?(_method == 0):_return = "checklocal";goto "guncheck"

Run Armaedit (get it here--->http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1455) and make a new sqs script and
then copy the above script and put into your mp mission's folder, and then add either

intialize like this: ["unitname",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
Or this: ["unitname",1] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"

so in the editor you'll have your playable players, make a name for each one and then add a number,
like in a seqence.

so jim1, jim2, jim3 ect, then add it to the code and it should look like this:

["jim1",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
["jim2",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
["jim3",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
add to the init line of the playable unit

or download the script:

hope that helps.

I've been using this one by Xeno for ages..

// by Xeno
private ["_weapons", "_magazines","_deadbody", "_p", "_primw", "_muzzles"];
//if (!(local player)) exitWith {};

while {true} do {
   waitUntil {!alive player};
   _weapons = weapons player;
   _magazines = magazines player;
   _deadbody  = player;
   waitUntil {alive player};
   _p = player;
   removeAllItems _p;
   removeAllWeapons _p;
   hidebody _deadbody;
   {_p addMagazine _x;} forEach _magazines;
    {_p addWeapon _x;} forEach _weapons;
    _primw = primaryWeapon _p;
    if (_primw != "") then {
        _p selectWeapon _primw;
        // Fix for weapons with grenade launcher
        _muzzles = getArray(configFile>>"cfgWeapons" >> _primw >> "muzzles");
        _p selectWeapon (_muzzles select 0);
    };
   execVM "briefing.sqf";
};

This respawns you with the weapon loadout when you died, with the added benifit of hiding your old dead body.

It also selects your primary weapon if for example you died when you had the secondary weapon active.

Save the above into a file called "respawnGear.sqf"

Call the script by adding this line to init.sqf

dummy = [true,true] execVM "respawnGear.sqf";
