starter pack

[Ghostman]

How can i add something like money for new players but a starter pack (scroll menu).

Do you know what i mean

[Relentless]

You can add start money for new players by changing some code in server_playerLogin.sqf.

In dayz_server\compile\server_playerLogin.sqf find:

PVCDZ_plr_Login = [_charID,_inventory,_backpack,_survival,_isNew,dayz_versionNo,_model,_isHiveOk,_newPlayer,_isInfected,_group,_CharacterCoins,_playerCoins,_BankCoins];

If you want to give the player (so coins are on the body) 5k coins, add this line before it:

if (_newPlayer) then {_characterCoins = 5000};

If you want to give the player 5k coins into their bank, add this line instead:

if (_newPlayer) then {_bankCoins = 5000};

I have already added money to new players, but I want to add a starter pack with building

[Relentless]

Something like a crate in their inventory with building supplies?

[Ghostman]

no spawn box with building

1-open your  server_playersetup.spf

find this line:

PVCDZ_plr_Login2 = [_worldspace,_state];

replace by:

PVCDZ_plr_Login2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot];

save, and repack your pbo.

2-At bottom of init.sqf paste:

startkit = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "startkit.sqf";
waitUntil {!isNil ("PVDZ_plr_LoginRecord")};
if (PVCDZ_plr_Login2 select 2) then
{
    player spawn startkit;
};

I'm sorry for the late reply but unfortunately this script does not work

[Ghostman]

in server_playersetup.spf

PVCDZ_plr_Login2 = [[0,respawn_west_original],_state,_worldspace,_randomSpot,([_randomSpot,_playerID] call spawn_config)];

and sarver can't run 119 sec server to start .....

well now i see youre using ESSV3... this change the things

[Ghostman]

yes i am using essv3, but your script spawn box only for new players on scroll mouse or near player when they spawn on ground?

Expand  

for fresh spawns.. they die.. they have a crate.  If they log out and relog again then dsnt have a crate.

Why you just not use the loadout and config class from ESSV3?

[Ghostman]

I already know what this is script Instead of a box you can set a vehicle

Now looking for script  you can only one times spawn box. I saw it on another server

[juandayz]

the one that i give you works, but with out essv3 im using it... but you need change the part in init cuz select 2 is not _randSpot if u use ESsv3

im fixing other thing.. when i fininish gonna install essv3 and give a try with this

[Ghostman]

no problem and thx for your help

What about somehow tying the starter kit somehow to the player Id once they have claimed it. I was just testing this out and I relogged on my test server and now I don't have the option.

This way if we can somehow tie it to the player ID, they can at least come back later if they haven't found a spot yet to claim the kit.

I do this on my server using extDB, on player login I run a query to see if the player has gotten their start kit yet, if not I addaction for the starterkit script.
