Base Building Eviction Notice Sign?

[choppra]

Has anyone here every created a custom buildable item?

 

I want to create a Eviction notice sign for bases that violate rules.

 

Often we end up just blocking off the base and they just quit the server thinking someone took it over or they pick the lock and get back in.

 

I created a custom image that says to speak to an admin about their current base but I want to know what would be the best way to add it in game.

There are some threads around about reskinning some of the billboard signs.  Have a search around and that may work for you.

save as an sqf file and use this with fn_selfactions if you have custom ones:

_object = createVehicle ['SignM_FARP_Winchester_EP1', [0,0,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; //billboard
_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0,''custom\evictionSign.paa''];'; //PAA image
_object attachTo [player, [0,2,0]]; //attach 2m in front of you
sleep 5; //5 seconds to reposition
_object detach; //detach

It will not persist trough restart, altho I don't see how it would work anyway. Even if you saved it to database, texture would dissapear.

How about...

 

Save to the DB, save the object texture file name in the inventory of the item, on server load, read the texture file and re apply before placing in the world ?.
