Lost Kits function within framework

[lawman]

I'm trying to understand the process by which kits are assigned to units using the framework, but got
stuck 'following the breadcrumbs'.

As far as I can see, the first thing executed is from the .init of the unit:

Code: Select all

["",this] call f_fnc_assignGear;

Only i can't seem to find the function anywhere in the framework.
No file i've examined contains the function f_fnc_assignGear, although there is a file f\assignGear

the way that that is written I would expect it to be a variable stored within a file somewhere, but the only reference to it I can find
is contained within remoteExec.hpp, in which nothing much actually happens:

Code: Select all

class f_fnc_assignGear { allowedTargets=0; };				// f_assignGear_AI.sqf

Thanks

You don't need to touch the f folder.
You need the "mission/loadout" folder.
Place your loadout.sqf file from the scripts folder in the loadout folder and in the "assignedLoadouts.sqf"

Code: Select all

if (_side == "west") then {
	#include "LOADOUTFILEHERE.sqf";
};

Replace 'LOADOUTFILEHERE' with the name of the loadout file

Edit the loadout file to make it your own

You missed the part where I learn something.

I understand that part...what I'm getting at is how is assignedLoadouts.sqf called?
I can see it referenced in the file fn_assignGear.sqf, but that then begs the question how is fn_assignGear.sqf called?
Because, correct me if I'm wrong, but ["",this] call f_fnc_assignGear would not result in fn_assignGear being processed.

Or if it does, i'm not understanding how.

Thanks

From my understanding...
Called from the players init.

Code: Select all

["",this] call f_fnc_assignGear; 

which passes to

Code: Select all

f\assignGear\fn_assignGear.sqf

Which has (on line 138)

Code: Select all

#include "..\..\mission\loadout\assignedLoadouts.sqf";

If somethings in
assignedLoadouts.sqf
it will load the units with that gear, if not the
fn_assignGear.sqf
gives them default gear

hope this helps.

Line 138 in "f/assignGear.sqf"

Code: Select all

#include "..\..\mission\loadout\assignedLoadouts.sqf";

f\common\functions.hpp registers all the core functions including assignGear. Some are set to automatically run at game start (to save calling them in the init.sqf).

That complies the code and allows it to run against the unit when called.

Perfect, thank you 26!
This is what I wasn't understanding.

I'd seen it before but not really known what I was searching for when trying to learn about it.
Good to finally know how to do it
