humanity traders, you'll have to have a custom fn_selfActions and add in

Code:

            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "superhero") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < 50000);
            };

above line 758 like so

Code:

            _humanity = player getVariable ["humanity",0];
            _traderMenu = call compile format["menu_%1;",_traderType];

            // diag_log ("TRADER = " + str(_traderMenu));
          
            _low_high = "low";
            _humanity_logic = false;
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "friendly") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < -5000);
            };
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hostile") then {
                _low_high = "high";
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity > -5000);
            };
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hero") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < 5000);
            };
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "superhero") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < 50000);
            };
            if(_humanity_logic) then {
                _cancel = player addAction [format[localize "STR_EPOCH_ACTIONS_HUMANITY",_low_high], "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\trade_cancel.sqf",["na"], 0, true, false, "",""];
                s_player_parts set [count s_player_parts,_cancel];
            } else {

and then follow a usual tutorial on creating a trader, and everywhere it asks you to put a neutral, hostile, friendly, or hero (usually in the DB and server_traders.sqf in the mission pbo) replace it with superhero.

EDIT: this is untested, but it should work. If it doesn't you'll just have to play around with some values

and for every other trader you would do the same thing, but skip the fn_selfActions crap. Just follow the usual trader install tutorials and make sure you use the right TIDS and such. It's really simple to do. http://opendayz.net/threads/tutorial-epoch-creating-a-new-trader.19593/ I added in two gem / medical traders last night in about 10 minutes.

You obviously messed something up. Don't just stop because you can't figure it out. Push on. There should be some errors in your arma2oaserver.rpt. Post them. We will fix whats wrong.

Pastebin your fn_selfactions and server_traders.sqf

FallingSheep · Jun 17, 2014

ok this is straight from here ( http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/970-custom-trader-cities/ ) just cleaned it up for you

This is how i do it so its not the best way

but it works!

1. create anew file and call it customtrader.sqf and paste this into it

Code:

_unit_13001 = objNull;if(true)then{
  _this = createAgent ["RU_Damsel5",[2550.658,8326.5928,2.3534577],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _unit_13001 = _this;
  _this setDir 114.59087;
  _this setVehicleInit "this allowDammage false; this disableAI 'FSM'; this disableAI 'MOVE'; this disableAI 'AUTOTARGET'; this disableAI 'TARGET'; this setBehaviour 'CARELESS'; this forceSpeed 0;  ";
  _this setUnitAbility 0.60000002;
_this allowDammage false; _this disableAI 'FSM'; _this disableAI 'MOVE'; _this disableAI 'AUTOTARGET'; _this disableAI 'TARGET'; _this setBehaviour 'CARELESS'; _this forceSpeed 0;_this enableSimulation false;};

now change RU_Damsel5 to the skin you want your trader to have (dont use one already in use!)
change 2550.658,8326.5928,2.3534577 to the loaction you want the trader to spawn.

save the file in your root MPMission folder (where your init.sqf is)
2. open server_trader.sqf and addthis to the bottom of it

// Gem Trader
menu_RU_Damsel5 =[[["Gems",900]],[],"neutral"];
(code tags ruined the color so i just put it as normal text)

make sure you include menu_ also change RU_Damsel5 to the skin you used in step 1
900 is the unique trader id

now at the top of server_traders add into the array add this to the start of the traders array

Code:

"RU_Damsel5",

so it looks like this

Code:

serverTraders =["RU_Damsel5","SOMESKIN",more code];

save

3. now you need to import somethings into your DB so use the below SQL code to import your new trader

Code:

REPLACE INTO `server_traders`(`id`,`classname`,`instance`,`status`,`static`,`desc`) VALUES (900,'RU_Damsel5',11,'friendly', NULL,'Gem Trader');

900 must match the trader id from step 2
Gem Trader is the traders description, you can put what ever you want here
11 is your instance id ( 11 is epoch chernarus id )

now we need to give the trader something to sell!

4. again you need to import this into your DB

Code:

REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (9999,'["ItemRuby",1]',1000,'[9,"ItemGoldBar",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar",1]',0,900,'trade_items');

9999 is a uniquie id make sure its not already used
ItemRuby is the name of the item you want the trader to buy/sell
9,"ItemGoldBar" is the buy price is this case it is 9 goldbars
5,"ItemGoldBar" is the sell price in this case it is 5 gold bars
900 must match the trader id from step 2

here is theSQL to import all the GEMS for the example above

Code:

REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (9999,'["ItemRuby",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10000,'["ItemTopaz",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10001,'["ItemObsidian",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10002,'["ItemSapphire",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10003,'["ItemAmethyst",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10004,'["ItemEmerald",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');
REPLACE INTO `traders_data`(`id`,`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES (10005,'["ItemCitrine",1]',250,'[9,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]','[5,"ItemGoldBar10oz",1]',0,900,'trade_items');

4. last but not least we need to call our customtrader.sqf to spawn the trader
open your init.sqf and at the bottom add this line

Code:

[] execVM "customtrader.sqf";

thats it your trader should be good to go!

Ok .. database traders all well and good but what about cfgTraders based traders ?? do u even need to add items into db for them ??
And How would u specify humanity of 20k for super hero ??

ShootingBlanks · Feb 18, 2015

cfgtraders do not use the database, hence the name cfg based traders .

I am assuming the "superhero" question doesnt mean the code below:
if (player getvariable["humanity",0] > 20,000) then {
is_superhero = true;
};

But what you mean is make the trader only trade with super hero's. THAT is in your fn_selfactions and it looks like you would add in a super_hero option

Code:

if (_isMan && !_isPZombie && _traderType in serverTraders) then {
       
        if (s_player_parts_crtl < 0) then {

            // get humanity
            _humanity = player getVariable ["humanity",0];
            _traderMenu = call compile format["menu_%1;",_traderType];

            // diag_log ("TRADER = " + str(_traderMenu));
           
            _low_high = "low";
            _humanity_logic = false;
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "friendly") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < -5000);
            };
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hostile") then {
                _low_high = "high";
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity > -5000);
            };
            if((_traderMenu select 2) == "hero") then {
                _humanity_logic = (_humanity < 5000);
            };
            if(_humanity_logic) then {
