Spawngear setup in init.c - DayZ Server

[RoxberrySWE 0]

Hello! I have been trying to figure out how to setup the spawngear for my server, and have watched multiple videos, read countless tutorials on how to set it up. But I seem to always do something wrong because it just wont work.

I was wondering (and hoping to be able to take the lazy route) if someone just could help me write the proper text to put into init.c?
The things I want as spawnloot can be found in the picture posted in this thread.

Thanks on before hand / Rox

So, here's an example for you:

class CustomMission: MissionServer
{
    void SetRandomHealth(EntityAI itemEnt)
    {
        int rndHlt = Math.RandomInt(40,100);
        itemEnt.SetHealth("","",rndHlt);
    }
 
    override PlayerBase CreateCharacter(PlayerIdentity identity, vector pos, ParamsReadContext ctx, string characterName)
    {
        Entity playerEnt;
        playerEnt = GetGame().CreatePlayer(identity, characterName, pos, 0, "NONE");
        Class.CastTo(m_player, playerEnt);
 
        GetGame().SelectPlayer(identity, m_player);
 
        return m_player;
    }
 
    override void StartingEquipSetup(PlayerBase player, bool clothesChosen)
    {
 
        EntityAI itemEnt;
        ItemBase itemBs;
 
          player.RemoveAllItems();
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Rag");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
        itemBs.SetQuantity(2);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("TShirt_Red");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Jeans_Grey");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Sneakers_Green");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("SpaghettiCan");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
    }
};

 

All you have to do is add more itemEnt and itemBs lines if you want more items, but there has to be enough inventory slots on your character to hold all the stuff you want.

So in your case, start with the backpack and then add the other things and you should be good.

So this what I´ve head problems with. I have done this so many times but it only brakes. Where do I add a backpack tho? Just in the list there.

And also, do I HAVE to have the "Rag" line?

You just add and delete as you like.  So, if you wanted no rags and a backpack plus the rest of what I listed, then it would look like this:

 

class CustomMission: MissionServer
{
    void SetRandomHealth(EntityAI itemEnt)
    {
        int rndHlt = Math.RandomInt(40,100);
        itemEnt.SetHealth("","",rndHlt);
    }
 
    override PlayerBase CreateCharacter(PlayerIdentity identity, vector pos, ParamsReadContext ctx, string characterName)
    {
        Entity playerEnt;
        playerEnt = GetGame().CreatePlayer(identity, characterName, pos, 0, "NONE");
        Class.CastTo(m_player, playerEnt);
 
        GetGame().SelectPlayer(identity, m_player);
 
        return m_player;
    }
 
    override void StartingEquipSetup(PlayerBase player, bool clothesChosen)
    {
 
        EntityAI itemEnt;
        ItemBase itemBs;
 
          player.RemoveAllItems();
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("MountainBag_Blue");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);

        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("TShirt_Red");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Jeans_Grey");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Sneakers_Green");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
        itemEnt = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("SpaghettiCan");
        itemBs = ItemBase.Cast(itemEnt);
 
    }
};

 

I picked a random bag here -- you'd need to look through the types.xml file for the precise names to put here.

Ok, thank you very much. I will try this. I will let you know if I f*ck it up or not =P

Added the code you wrote, exactly as you wrote it. Got a compile error (picture)

This is why I cant follow tutorials. They are ALWAYS wrong in some way, a line in the wrong place or a . , ; : missing or in the wrong place. That´s why I asked for someone that maybe could write a finished init.c file with the spawngear I showed in the initial post. Because I have followed tutorials, videos and so on HUNDREDS of times, but there is ALWAYS something wrong. I will paste the whole init.c file here so maybe someone can see exactly what is wrong with it now.

And now it starts without any errors. But the character do NOT spawn with the gear that is set in the init.c file. I have reset all player files (db and spawnpoint), reset everything. But still it is not spawning with the right gear.

I am using the Expansion mod tho, can that have anything to do with it?

Most likely, yes.  I am not using that mod and I believe it changes quite a lot of things.  The example I gave you is from my Deer Isle server that is up and running, but doesn't use Expansion mod.

[RoxberrySWE 0]

Hmm... Ok. I guess I´ll have to some more investigation then.

[Dutchay 3]

Hi Roxberry,

The expansion mod has a build-in spawn gear feature. 

Head over to "YOURSERVERFILE\ServerProfile\ExpansionMod\Settings\SpawnSettings.json"
In this file you can change the gear and items people spawn with. Make sure you put the items under the correct category, else you wont spawn with said item.
The expansion mod guys have setup a wiki btw, here you can see many tutorials on things you can change within their mod. https://github.com/salutesh/DayZ-Expansion-Scripts/wiki

Let me know if you run into anymore trouble!
Kind regards,
Dutchy

[setman 1]

Do you still need to use the #include "$CurrentDir:\\mpmissions\\Expansion.ChernarusPlus\\expansion\\ExpansionObjectSpawnTools.c" ?

It is not included in the new Expansion files.

Thanks in advance
