Want to change humanity needed for bandit trader

[ahughes3]

I am trying to work out how to change the bandit trader to a normal one. I'm running a non pvp server so there is no need for a bandit trader.

 

I've searched the database but can't find any reference to the bandit trader. I've looked in the server_traders.sqf and then searched the database by the skin, but still nothing comes up.

 

Anyone got any ideas how I edit it from hostile to neutral?

 

Cheers

Try this

 

in your server_traders.sqf in your mission file

 

search for the word hostile, and change it to neutral or friendly.

Try this

 

in your server_traders.sqf in your mission file

 

search for the word hostile, and change it to neutral or friendly.

This works fine. When you change it to neutral: all players can access the trader. When you change it to friendly: only people with positive humanity can access that trader.

Is it really as simple as that  :P doh! I feel such a noob now and I looked at that too.

 

So here's another question. Do you know what I would have to do to alter the amount of humanity needed to access the bandit or hero trader? I'm assuming there is a script somewhere that checks it?

You can change humanity values in fn_selfActions.sqf, obviously a custom file is needed unless you have one already.

 

Just find this part of the file and change it as you see fit

_low_high = "low";
_humanity_logic = false;
if((_traderMenu select 2) == "friendly") then {
_humanity_logic = (_humanity < -5000);
};
if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hostile") then {
_low_high = "high";
_humanity_logic = (_humanity > -5000);
};
if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hero") then {
_humanity_logic = (_humanity < 5000);
};

awesome thanks. So if I wanted a donator specific trader I could copy and paste the bottom one, call it "donator", set the humanity value and then just assign "donator" to my custom trader instead of "neutral" or whatever yes?

[Antichrist]

Think that should work

Maybe a better way for a donator trader:

if((_traderMenu select 2) == "donor") then {
_humanity_logic = ((getPlayerUID player) in Donator_UIDS);
};

Then define Donator_UIDS in Variables.sqf  with DonatorUIDS = ["123452362623","124125215123513","2451251252352"];

 

I did not try it. but it should work.

Is this variables file an existing file or is it one I would create. Either way, how would I then call the variables.sqf to check the IDs?

[StiflersM0M]

The variable do not exist as default, "Donator_UIDS = ["123452362623","124125215123513","2451251252352"];"

is a global variable and isnt private, that means you can acess this variable from any file.

[ahughes3]

I know I'm being thick so please bear with me  :)

 

So you're saying that I go into my variables.sqf inside my dayz_code and add the variable "Donator_UIDS = ["123452362623","124125215123513","2451251252352];" then the code in the humanity part of the self actions (as per the example in your earlier post) would reference the variables.sqf?

[Antichrist]

You need to make a custom variables file if you already don't have one.

 

As in just create empty variables.sqf file, past that donator uid thing in there, save and and place it somewhere in your mission folder/pbo

 

then open up your init.sqf and add this line right below original call for variables file

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\variables.sqf"; //Initilize the Variables (IMPORTANT: Must happen very early)

So it looks like this

//Load In Compiled Functions
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\variables.sqf"; //Initilize the Variables (IMPORTANT: Must happen very early)
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\variables.sqf"; //Initilize the Variables (IMPORTANT: Must happen very early)
progressLoadingScreen 0.1;

Not that empty custom file will work as long as you don't have a mod that requires you to overwrite a certain function, same goes with compiles.sqf file and when you decide to go that way just take those files from dayz_code.pbo and copy them over into your mission folder/pbo to modify (remember to change paths)

[ahughes3]

Ok got that, I just thought that editing the original variables.sqf would mean less files and less chance of compound errors. Thanks again for the support :)

Ok so I have made a bit of progress with this. Entered a custom donator trader into my server_traders.sqf with "donor" as his type (normally where friendly, hostile etc goes), also added him into the mission.sqf. I then added him as a new trader into the database giving him a status of "donor". I then set him a TID which is also referenced in the server_trader.sqf and I added an item for him in the trader_data table.

 

That's it as far as I can see. When I go in game however, he is not showing up. So, if he's not showing it is either a wrong skin or a mismatch between what is in the server_trader.sqf and the mission.sqf yes?

 

The database entries are only to do with his trader menu unless I'm missing something?
