Holster script (ACCEPTED)
« on: 25 Sep 2007, 20:16:55 »
General information

Looking for a method to enable the player to conceal weapons? Look no further, with this method - consisting of three script files, you will be able to do just that!

Check the readme and demo mission for more information.

Update: version 1.01 released!

Update: version 1.02 released!

Update: version 1.03 released!

I'm glad you didn't allow AK-74 swallowing with this script, since you limited it to hiding pistols. Hmm, though it would have been fun to create a spray of vomit particles ;P

Instead of having an array of pistol classes, check that the weapon inherits from PistolCore, using the method I explained in another thread. This will allow the script to holster any pistol from any addon.

Hi Cheetah.  Cool script.  This will be useful.

I think I solved the issue of having to select the weapon again before you can fire, by adding SelectWeapon command to this line of code:

Code: [Select]
if ((isHolster select 2) != 0) then { _unit addWeapon _saveWeapon; _unit selectWeapon _saveWeapon; };

Try it out.

Hey johnnyboy, sounds good!

Going to start rescripting it now to prevent the use of multiple scriptfiles. Should make it even easier to use  ::)

Alright, new version attached.

Only one file required to make it work now. Other info is in the readme.

@Spooner,

Next up: checking if the config file can be used to get pistol classes.

EDIT: can't find a way to use the config file.. so it is ready for release.

Couldn't make it easier than this - just use something like:
Code: [Select]
_gun = "M9";
if ([_gun] call isPistol) then...

This is the function:
Code: [Select]
isPistol =
{
_unknownWeaponClass = _this select 0;

_unknownConfig = configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _unknownWeaponClass;
_pistolConfig = configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "PistolCore";

_isPistol = false;
while {isClass _unknownConfig} do
{
    if (_unknownConfig == _pistolConfig) exitWith
    {
        _isPistol = true;
    };

    _unknownConfig = inheritsFrom _unknownConfig;
};

_isPistol; // Return.
};

Nice script but in some situations there's a little problem. (that can be solved with a timer or so)
Unholster the weapon, kill one soldier, holster the weapon before the second soldeir can see you and you will be captive again.

Anyway, nice script  :)

Ahh well, that has more to do with a simple 'show-how-to-implement-it' ;).

There are a lot more and better ways to do it, as you say you can cheat now.
