Hello everyone,
Just a little tip i thought i would show you here to keep your mission files extremely small when having to use new compiles.sqf and then other self action scripts.
Instead of using scripts that already exist inside the game, why not overload them (so to speak...)
Example (Remove parts from vehicles):
Files Required with tip: 2
(The mod itself, the custom script i will show you soon)
Files Required the "normal way": 3
(The mod itself, compiles.sqf and fn self actions sqf's).
Okay yes, two files is not that much of an improvement over three files, however this is a massive saving in mission file size.
This can be done for so many function calls inside dayz.
Example Self Actions File
Example player Spawn Check File
This example shows how easy it is to change the loot spawning options without having to take up lots more mission file size by having to give your clients the whole file.
This tiny file changes so much.
p.s.
I'm not that great with explaining things, sorry - if you have any questions please ask and i will do my best to help
