Client Locker Usage Guide 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:

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:

[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:

missionNamespace setVariable ["forge_locker_alpha", _lockerObject, true];
