[RELEASE] Vehicle Key Changer - For making Masterkey - V 1.4 (Updated 06/15/2014)

[OtterNas3]

Just finished it and thought someone could like it...

• You have many, many (many, ...) Vehicles?
• You have many, many (many, ...) different Keys?
• Already need to attach a list with Key = Vehicle to your Monitor to keep track of em?
• Need 30 minutes to start driving because you dont have such a list?
• Frustrated?

ALL OVER!
 
This little script allows you and the Players on your Server to copy Vehicles, that you got the Key for, to another Key that's in your Inventory!
 
Example:
Car 1: Red Skoda - Red Key (1234)
Car 2: Green Skoda - Green Key (4321)
 
You need a Keymakers Kit!
Put both keys in your Inventory, look at the Car 1 and select "Change Vehicle Key" from the action menu.
 
You get a list with all Keys in your Inventory, to select from a menu. In this case the list would just be one: Green Key (4321)
Not in the list is the Key for Car 1, so no Red Key (1234)
 
Select the new Key you want to put the car on and: voila!
 
You can throw away the unneeded Red Key (1234)
The Old vehicle Key gets added to your Backpack
Car 1 & Car 2 are both now on the Green Key (4321)
 
You can allow players to "Claim" Vehicles that are dynamic spawned on the Map and does not yet need a Key.
This is a option you can turn On/Off!
You can set a price for claiming vehicles also.
 
THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER INCLUDE MISSIONVEHICLES THAT ARE NOT SPAWNED CORRECTLY!
IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO CLAIM MISSIONVEHICLES, TELL THE MISSION DEVELOPER TO SETUP HIS SPAWNCODE FOR VEHICLES TO A CORRECT WAY!
 
Changelog 1.4
I changed some functions and implemented some small fixes mentioned by other users in this Thread.
Specially for just bought vehicles and the "get not saved after driving" thing.
This should also fix the duping for some of you, i never had it yet and cant reproduce. just made the call a bit different now.
 
 
If it doesnt work as it should, gimme a shout.
 
And for people that think this Mod is a total mess. Dont use it?
It works on my Server for a loooooooooooooong time now without any errors!

5. repbo MPMissions\YOURMISSIONNAME\
- upload it to your server -
 
6. unpbo @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server.pbo
 
7 copy server_updateObject.sqf from your unziped VehicleKeyChanger_v1.4.zip to @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\compile\  and overwrite the existing one. (This just adds a function for this mod nothing else changed)
If you already have a custom server_updateObjects.sqf you need to compare my file with yours and make the changes yourself!
 
8. repbo @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\
- upload it to your server -
 
9 copy this file to your Servers BattlEye filters folder:
publicvariableval.txt
 
FYI: INFISTAR AdminCheat, ummm sorry meant AntiCheat, users!
Cause he uses his own BE filter files should not copy paste this file over your existing one, else you will get kicked for all the cool nice admin functions that comes with your Infistar! You need to do the change yourself if you get kicked for anything regarding this script.
I dont had and will not have a look at Infistar's BE files to sort things out!
 
10. Restart your server
11. Enjoy it and cleanup your vaults!
 
12. DONT LOOSE YOUR MASTERKEY! :rolleyes:
 
 
-- Additional Information ---
 
For InfiStar AdminCheat (ummm sorry meant AntiCheat...) users:

adding "#USER:_keyMenu" in the ALLOWED CMDMenus list (_cMenu=) as cen said is all you need to make this work properly :)

 
 
Have fun with it!

This sounds cool. Any chance of a video showing how it works?

[calamity]

I cant get this to work.

do I need anything more than 2 cars and the keys to get this working ?

init.sqf.........

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions my compiles in root

 

compiles............ 

fnc_usec_selfActions = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\fn_selfActions.sqf";

 

fn_selfActions.sqf............. changed "custom\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf", this is where I put it.

//Vehicle Key Changer START

    if (speed player <= 1 && !isEngineOn _cursorTarget && (_typeOfCursorTarget == "Car" || _typeOfCursorTarget == "Air" || _typeOfCursorTarget == "Ship")) then {

        if (_ownerID != "0") then {

            _temp_keysDisplayName = [];

            {

                if (configName(inheritsFrom(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _x)) in _key_colors) then {

                    _ownerKeyId = getNumber(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _x >> "keyid");

                    _keyName = getText(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _x >> "displayName");

                    _tempPlayerKeysNames set [count _tempPlayerKeysNames,_keyName];

                };

            } forEach _itemsPlayer;

            if (_ownerID in _temp_keys && (count _temp_keys) > 1) then {

                _carKeyName = (_temp_keys_names select (parseNumber _ownerID));

                _tempPlayerKeys = _temp_keys - [_ownerID];

                _tempPlayerKeysNames = _tempPlayerKeysNames - [_carKeyName];

                if (s_player_copyToKey < 0) then {

                    s_player_copyToKey = player addAction [("<t color="#0000FF"">" + ("Change Vehicle Key") + "</t>"),"custom\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf",[_cursorTarget, _tempPlayerKeys, _ownerID, _tempPlayerKeysNames, _carKeyName],-1,false,false,"","];

                };

            } else {

                player removeAction s_player_copyToKey;

                s_player_copyToKey = -1;

            };

        } else {

            player removeAction s_player_copyToKey;

            s_player_copyToKey = -1;

        };

    } else {

        player removeAction s_player_copyToKey;

        s_player_copyToKey = -1;

    };

    // Vehicle Key Changer END

Sorry i was out for lunch when i found the failure and it seems my mobile did not made the change complete to the post.

Looks like you copied before i made the change to the code for the fn_selfActions.sqf

 

 

change this line:

    if (speed player <= 1 && !isEngineOn _cursorTarget && (_typeOfCursorTarget == "Car" || _typeOfCursorTarget == "Air" || _typeOfCursorTarget == "Ship")) then {

to this:

    if (speed player <= 1 && !isEngineOn _cursorTarget && (_cursorTarget isKindOf "Car" || _cursorTarget isKindOf "Air" || _cursorTarget isKindOf == "Ship")) then {

And you just need the one Car you wanna change to a new Key. You need the Key to change it to and the Key it is actually on.

Both have to be in your Inventory (Toolbelt), not in your Backpack.

I just installed this, however I added the key makers kit as a requirement.

 

here are my first 4 lines, the rest is the same.

//Vehicle Key changer script
	if("ItemKeyKit" in _itemsPlayer) then {
	      hasItemKeyKit = true;
        }
	if (speed player <= 1 && hasItemKeyKit && !isEngineOn _cursorTarget && (_cursorTarget isKindOf "Car" || _cursorTarget isKindOf "Air" || _cursorTarget isKindOf == "Ship")) then {

edit for typo

Good idea with the Keykit, never thought about it :P

 

You could do this with a oneliner also:

_hasKeyKit = "ItemKeyKit" in _itemsPlayer;
if (speed player <= 1 && _hasKeyKit && !isEngineOn _cursorTarget && (_cursorTarget isKindOf "Car" || _cursorTarget isKindOf "Air" || _cursorTarget isKindOf == "Ship")) then {

updated my first post with it, thanks for the idea!

[RRP47]

Does this work for just 2 vehicles, or will it work for an entire fleet?  :D

Your welcome, and thanks for your code, I have been wanting this for a while myself.  I'm just starting coding in Arma so I don't take on large project yet, but I am learning every day and I can usually adapt things to suit my needs.

 

You may want to add the criteria of having the kit to your first post aswell. people will install it and it won't work because they don't have the kit.  Then instead of reading down to the 5th post, they will spam this topic with "it doesn't work".

[Black Stormy]

anyone got this working? been looking for a keyring script for a long time but im hesistant to install anything that requires me to debug the code myself.

[NAIL]

Did you had 2 Keys in your inventory?

The key for the vehicle you wanna change and a Key to move it to?

 

I think i should post it with my script for checking if addAction is needed, i doesnt like this fn_selfActions.sqf for it anyway.

i just had to convert it from my caller to the fn_selfActions.sqf thought would be better, bad idea...

 

 

Gimme 10 minutes and i update my first Post with a package with my caller in it, which definately works...

[OtterNas3]

Updated first post

 

Sorry for the trouble, im not a Pro(grammer) :unsure:

[calamity]

left the fn_selfActions.sqf out in the instructions ??

[cen]

Why are you calling this file from init.sqf

 

    _nil = [] execVM "custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf";

 

When the zip includes VehicleKeyChanger\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf

[calamity]

:huh:  verry confused 

do I still keep the fn_selfactions that used to be in the instructions or  start fresh and only add to init.sqf ?

Yes, I went to my +debug island+ spawned in 2 muzzies and had only their keys in my gear.  Got no option without the keymakers kit.  Added keymakers kit and got the option.  but no key menu.  

 

It may have to do with the infistar AH. one of my clanmates was kicked for attempting it, have to whitelist the add menu action.  I will check it again when i restart server next.  

 

I do rather like having it in fn_selfActions.sqf better, gives me personally more control, and I am pretty sure the problem I have has nothing to do with that, its either the AH or the VehicleKeyChanger.sqf file (probably the AH)

[fullaholes]

Shouldn't this _nil = [] execVM "custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf"; be this instead _nil = [] execVM "custom\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf"; ? :huh:

[OtterNas3]

left the fn_selfActions.sqf out in the instructions ??

No need for the fn_selfActions.sqf anymore its called in the init.sqf

 

 

Why are you calling this file from init.sqf

 

    _nil = [] execVM "custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf";

 

When the zip includes VehicleKeyChanger\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf

 

This is the init line for it, it starts a checker, which checks every 3 seconds for a valid Target, instead all 0.2 seconds like fn_selfActions.sqf does

No need to check it that often, in my opinion

 

So just insert this line in your init.sqf on the mentioned position and youre good to go

You can remove the code from your custom fn_selfActions.sqf

If you did not mady any other change to the fn_selfActions.sqf or compiles.sqf, for another mod, you can change the compiles.sqf call in your init.sqf back to standard

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf";

to

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf";

 

:huh:  verry confused 

do I still keep the fn_selfactions that used to be in the instructions or  start fresh and only add to init.sqf ?

Start fresh and just add this line to your init.sqf

I hope this +debug island+ is not really in the debug zone ^^ i had problems with saving Vehicles there and get variables from vehicles

But cuase your clanmate got kicked im sure it has something todo with whitelist the action.

[OtterNas3]

Shouldn't this _nil = [] execVM "custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf"; be this instead _nil = [] execVM "custom\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf"; ? :huh:

Nope, the custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf is the looper for checking for valid vehicles and if it founds one with all conditions meet it gives you the action menu entry WHICH calls the custom\VehicleKeyChanger\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf

[OtterNas3]

If anyone still has problems with installing or get it running, i could talk to em in teamspeak to help!

 

frino.de:9992

 

Just poke me there

[Guest]

The confusion is being caused because custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf is not in the download.

[fullaholes]

Nope, the custom\vehiclefunctions.sqf is the looper for checking for valid vehicles and if it founds one with all conditions meet it gives you the action menu entry WHICH calls the custom\VehicleKeyChanger\VehicleKeyChanger.sqf

But I don't have a file in my custom folder called vehiclefunctions.sqf so how can it call it or is the vehiclefunctions.sqf file not needed in the custom folder ? Surely it's needed if it's being called in the init.sqf ?

[OtterNas3]

Did you redownloaded it?

just downloaded it and it is inside of it for me?

[RRP47]

this work for only 2 vehicles or can a whole fleet can be changed to the masterkey?
