	if (!(_model in AllPlayers)) then {
	 _model = ["Rocker4_DZ","Priest_DZ","Functionary1_EP1_DZ","GUE_Commander_DZ","Ins_Soldier_GL_DZ","Haris_Press_EP1_DZ","Pilot_EP1_DZ",
	 "RU_Policeman_DZ","Soldier_TL_PMC_DZ","Soldier_Sniper_PMC_DZ","Soldier_Bodyguard_AA12_PMC_DZ","Drake_Light_DZ","CZ_Special_Forces_GL_DES_EP1_DZ",

	 "GUE_Soldier_Sniper_DZ","GUE_Soldier_Crew_DZ","GUE_Soldier_CO_DZ","GUE_Soldier_2_DZ"] select floor random 24;
	};
} else {
	_isInfected =	_primary select 3;
	_model =		_primary select 4;
	_hiveVer =		_primary select 5;
	
	if (isNil "_model") then {
	 _model = ["Rocker4_DZ","Priest_DZ","Functionary1_EP1_DZ","GUE_Commander_DZ","Ins_Soldier_GL_DZ","Haris_Press_EP1_DZ","Pilot_EP1_DZ",
	 "RU_Policeman_DZ","Soldier_TL_PMC_DZ","Soldier_Sniper_PMC_DZ","Soldier_Bodyguard_AA12_PMC_DZ","Drake_Light_DZ","CZ_Special_Forces_GL_DES_EP1_DZ",

	 "GUE_Soldier_Sniper_DZ","GUE_Soldier_Crew_DZ","GUE_Soldier_CO_DZ","GUE_Soldier_2_DZ"] select floor random 24;
	} else {
		if (_model == "") then {
	 _model = ["Rocker4_DZ","Priest_DZ","Functionary1_EP1_DZ","GUE_Commander_DZ","Ins_Soldier_GL_DZ","Haris_Press_EP1_DZ","Pilot_EP1_DZ",

Not really sparrow, i was trying to get a default skin set up as a loadout earlier, and I couldn't find anything much on it then either

Though if you figure it out, or someone else does, let me plzz

ive played arround with it for DayZ-celle a while ago and the problem was. that the player skin was reset again after picking a gender at the gender selection screen.

example: https://github.com/JoSchaap/DayZ-Private-master/commit/786ec0e39f9824f7ddba338e77daa413d6a57b43

For dayz Celle this resulted in either needing to disable the gender selection screen completely, or sticking with those 2 default skins :)

Axe Cop · December 5, 2013

try this: file "dayz_code\system\player_monitor.fsm", line 1419:

_model = dayz_selectGender;

that is the place where the model (skin) is changed after your chose a gender... well i think it is i was just looking through the files for 1 minute :)

sparrow8332 · January 7, 2014

still no luck :-( changed player_monitor.fsm and server_playerLogin.sqf and still spawn in with the survivor skin

Shouldn't that be:

dayz_selectGender = _model;

_model should be populated from server_playerLogin.sqf..

EDIT: My line numbers are different, am looking a little bit before, in Gender Selection... (Line #1355)..

Axe Cop · January 7, 2014

@axeman: look at the date my post was made before Epoch 1.0.3.1 so the line numbers might be different :D

anyway the mode is set on the client in "Parse Login" state:

_model		= _msg select 6;

but if you spawn fresh it will be overwritten after you've choosen a gender with

_model = dayz_selectGender;

dayz_selectGender is just the variable from the gender dialog, so either "Survivor2_DZ" as male or "SurvivorW2_DZ" as female.

at last the skin will be set in the state "Phase One":

_model call player_switchModel;

if you change the model there it should be used, and not the survivor skin.

if you open the player_monitor.fsm with the FSM editor it looks like this (in case you don't know what I am talking about):

Hi Axe Cop

I tried a whole night to change the start skin, your instructions too...

But now, i spawn as an invisible model. Only if you go to 3rd person and move the mouse down, i see my chest (it looks like a soldier skin or something) but i used "Rocker1_DZ" instead of Survivor2_DZ.

I changed all _model = Survivor2_DZ into _model = ""Rocker1_DZ"", i removed the Gender_Selection with FSM Editor and i changed the line _model call player_switchmodel line into _model = ""Rocker1_DZ"".

Rocker1_DZ i used just for testing, my goal is Random Start Skins.

What does "_model = _msg select 6;" mean ?

Do you have any ideas what i do wrong ?

(Epoch 1.0.4.2a)

Can u help me please ?

Axe Cop · May 12, 2014

Hi sparky,

"_model = _msg select 6;" just sets the model from the "_msg" array. I don't know what model class is in there or where it comes form without looking further into that :D

but as far as I see from your text you did something wrong, your can't remove the line

_model call player_switchmodel;

that actually changes the model so you need to call it no matter what skin you use (or you will be invisible)!

I don't know if you skin name is valid, but lets assume it is you can call it like this:

"Rocker1_DZ" call player_switchmodel;

or

_model = "Rocker1_DZ";
_model  call player_switchmodel;

hope that hepls.

Sp4rkY · May 12, 2014

Thx for answering.

I will try it now and can report you if i have any success...

But i have one further question of understanding:

If i change _model functions in the player_monitor.fsm, which effect this will take for the server_playerLogin.sqf ?

Do i have to change the server_playerLogin.sqf the same way like i do in the fsm file or doesnt it matter ? :)

Sp4rkY · May 12, 2014

i think i´m at the right way....

MattL · June 22, 2014

just released and looking through the tags...This does exactly what you want, I think :)
