is there any way to incorporate "persistence" into user designed missions ?

Hi all,

is there any way to incorporate "persistence" into user designed missions, similarly to the campaign, ( a running ammo count and list of guns and vehicles kept from mission to mission?) -anyone know?

In a campaign setup, yes. Might be possible to with individual missions using profileNamespace but I would avoid trying to save much information to there;

Yes there is, you can use iniDB to log certain aspects such as player kills etc. This mod needs to be setup on the server

You can also use @ALiVE mod which includes basic player persistence and in combination with a dedicated server you can get full mission persistence even after server reset.
