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];
