How do I add new traders?

[Aslan247]

Hi Guys, 

I'm running an Epoch 1.0.6.2 LAN server and wanting to create an aircraft dealer at Balota and add a another banker. All the tutorials I found on-line are from 2013 and it seems that the game folders are all quite different now. 

Can anyone please help?

INSTRUCTIONS TO ADD A CUSTOM TRADER 1.0.6.2 

Well either everybody knows how to add a custom trader and are not talking or nobody on here knows how to do it. 

I figured it out for myself, and I have written down a rough guide for anyone who is also unsure how to do this. 

If you do not understand get in touch, happy to help. Wish this community was a bit more active. 

CUSTOM TRADERS

IN ARMA 2 EDITOR (ALT+E) Select map Chernarus

Create Center Civilian (f10)

Group F2 (create group) 

Unit F1 Default camera

Place Unit on map

Save to file. 

Open file in Documents or wherever your arma save to. (I search for saved filename in windows start menu). 

Copy and paste the civilian name, e.g  WorkWoman1     

Postion e.g [4736.3799, 2559.7131, 0.96454936]

Direction  (All to a new note document) You will need these later. 

Example:

WorkWoman1
4827.79,2291.73,0.00143862
this setDir 30.104355

Open Dayz_server\traders\chernarus11

Insert your info with a trader that is not being used. e.g 

["WorkWoman1",[4736.3799, 2559.7131, 0.96454936],152.11736],
    ["Profiteer4",[11449.5,11341,0],34.5259],
    ["RU_Villager3",[7996.1,2899.08,0.669153],86.8589],

You will pick a civilian unit that is not already being used. And this must be placed in the top section of your 
MPMissions\scripts\traders\servertraders.sqf

serverTraders = "WorkWoman1","RU_Citizen3","Rocker4","Profiteer4", etc

Copy and paste any of the traders hero or bandit. and then edit it by replacing the workers name, position and direction 

Give the trader a name like // Custom Traders //

Decide what your trader will sell by editing the following section: 

[["Attachments",693],["Ammunition",478],["Currency and gems",1100],["Clothes",476], etc

Change your trader status e.g neutral, hostile, hero etc at the bottom 

Thats it in a nutshell. Let me know if you get stuck.
