title: "Client Locker Usage Guide"
description: "The client locker addon manages personal locker display state, local locker container behavior, and virtual arsenal unlock state."
---
## Repositories
`forge_client_locker_fnc_initRepository` creates `GVAR(LockerRepository)`.
`forge_client_locker_fnc_initVARepository` creates `GVAR(VARepository)`.
Initialize locker state:
```sqf
GVAR(LockerRepository) call ["init", []];
GVAR(VARepository) call ["init", []];
```
## Locker Container Flow
The repository searches mission namespace variables whose names contain
`locker` and refer to objects. For each server/mission locker object, it creates
a local `Box_NATO_Equip_F` at the same position and attaches container event
handlers.
On container open:
- the local container is cleared
- cached locker items are inserted into the container
- over-capacity warnings are emitted when the item count is above 25
On container close:
- cargo, nested container items, and weapon attachments are read back
- the new locker map is sent to the server with the override request
- the local repository cache is updated
## Virtual Arsenal Flow
The virtual arsenal repository creates a local `FORGE_Locker_Box` and requests
virtual arsenal unlocks from the server.
As sync data arrives, it applies unlocks through ACE Arsenal:
| Data key | Client behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `items` | Add virtual items. |
| `weapons` | Add virtual weapons. |
| `magazines` | Add virtual magazines. |
| `backpacks` | Add virtual backpacks. |
The actor menu opens the virtual locker with:
```sqf
[FORGE_Locker_Box, player, false] spawn ace_arsenal_fnc_openBox;
```
## Server Events
The client repository sends requests for:
- locker initialization
- locker save
- locker override after container close
- virtual arsenal initialization
- virtual arsenal save
The server locker addon and extension own the saved locker and virtual arsenal
state.
## Mission Setup
Mission locker objects must be placed into `missionNamespace` with a variable
name containing `locker`. The client creates local interactive containers from
those authoritative mission objects.
Example:
```sqf
missionNamespace setVariable ["forge_locker_alpha", _lockerObject, true];
```
