How to bypass character creation (Multiplayer)

[Colin]

Hi there,

 

First off, long time player, I haven't posted in a very long time and i've never bothered with modding really.... (which I plan to start, I come from a modding Arma 3 etc), so greetings to everyone!

 

My question and first plan is.... is it possible to bypass the character creation, obtain the survivor object and programmatically assign traits etc?

 

Kind Regards,

As for bypass character creation I don't know how to do that but I think you can set player traits programmatically.

 

-- OnCreatePlayer might needs to be hooked to attempt this
-- https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/OnCreatePlayer

-- First, I haven't try it yet
-- Second, make sure you attempt this on server side for anti-cheat measure.
-- Third, based on the dev's update logs.. Player seems to be able to use their local save so it might be modified. Save their original data in server for simple anti-cheat check
-- You might also need to synchronize the data to the targeted player or all players

-- Need to grab a player instance to do this
-- Get traits
local traits = player:getCharacterTraits()

-- Set true to activate the trait, false to remove it from the player
traits:set("Marksman", true)

-- Done

I had a feeling there would be no way to bypass it, I guess bypassing character creation needs to be a feature request

 

Thank you

You can bypass it actually. I already had a look at it. Find 'ISPlayerStatsUI.lua' inside 'game/media/lua/client/ISUI'. It also has information on how to programmatically assign traits and how to send those data on player creation. Try extend the 'ISPlayerStatsUI:setVisible' function. You can probably prevent character creation UI from being displayed by doing that. Look for the right function if it didn't.

Oh, great will check it out, thanks

No problem.

 

And I missed one more folder.

'game_folder/media/lua/client/ISUI/PlayerStats'

 

Good luck.
