This is a heavily modified version of the overlay from the script "Radiation - DEMO" made by ALIAS. The script is intended for use with multiplayer missions. With minor modification the script will work with singleplayer.
When a player respawns the player object is changed to new one, this esentially renderes scripts for overlay useless in mulitplayer. To overcome this, the script uses a Respawn Handler created in the unit_init.sqf. When a player respawns the handler invokes the gasmask.sqf with arguments pointing to the current player object.
Edit gasmask.sqf and change line 4 to the equipment you want to trigger the overlay.
In the below example the equipment is set to G_Balaclava_blk
protection = "G_Balaclava_blk";
Change line 28 from (goggles _unit isEqualTo protection) to (headgear _unit isEqualTo protection) if the item which you want is located in a different slot, like headgear.
- If you wish to use the Arma 3 Contact DLC cbrn gear, keep in mind that the unit (cbrn_specialist) spawns with "G_AirPurifyingRespirator_01_nofilter_F" and later respawns with "G_AirPurifyingRespirator_01_F".
- If you whish to change the default sounds provided with this script, you can find free samples here https://freesound.org/home/. Audacity can be used to edit the sound according to your needs and exported to .ogg format.
- gasmask.sqf compiled to memory and lodaded from there instead of reading from disk each time.
- Custom overlays
- Custom sounds for equip/uneqip & breathing.
- Multiplayer compatible
- Compatible with respawns
- Gas mask overlay will remain after respawn until the player equips and then unequips the "Gas mask"
- Remove the overlay effect after respawn
- Optimize the code to have less impact on the client
- Create a singleplayer version of this script
- gasmask.sqf and unit_init.sqf had functions with the same name "fnc_overlay". This essentially froze the script, keep that in mind if you modify this script.
