English Invisible backpack for medics and cops

[Mathis]

Welcome to this tutorial that will allow you to add invisible backpacks.
This tutorial is a response to an help request from Skyrise.​

Go in your mission/core/functions/fn_playerSkins.sqf, and search it :

case west {

(so that the cops have an invisible bag)
and/or​

case independent {

(so that medics have an invisible bag)​

Then, below the "case" you wanted, add this :

if ((backpack player) == "ClassnameBackpack") then {
     [player] remoteExecCall ["life_fnc_setbackpacktexture",0];
};

Create a file fn_setBackpackTexture.sqf into your core/civilian, and add this in the file :

_player = param [0,objNull,[objNull]];
if (isNull _player) exitWith {};

(unitbackpack _player) hideObject true;

And then, in Functions.hpp, find the "Civilian" class, and under :

file = "core\civilian";

Add on the line below :

class setBackpackTexture {};

And finally, look for this in the CfgRemoteExec.hpp :

/* Functions for everyone */

And add this below :

F(life_fnc_setbackpacktexture,ANYONE)

There you go, quick as lightning !

Is there a way to automatically reload the skins? Since I have the invisible backpack for civi in crafting, it is not displayed as invisible until after the relog

I'm not sure if it's the best way to do that, but you can try to add at the end of your core/init.sqf :

[] spawn {
    while {true} do {
        uiSleep 60;
        [] call life_fnc_playerSkins;
    };
};

It will refresh the skins every 60 seconds

Thank you, that worked!

the backpack for civilians is still visible to other players! Can I change it so that the backpack for other players no longer sees the backpack of a civilian?

It works for cops and medics

Yes, you can do that in the "case civilian" also :

Then, below the "case" you wanted, add this :

if ((backpack player) == "ClassnameBackpack") then {
[player] remoteExecCall ["life_fnc_setbackpacktexture",0];
};
