Restore radio configuration on respawn #1193

Open MildlyInterested opened 2 years ago

MildlyInterested commented 2 years ago

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Having multiple radios on you and then dying resets all radios to their default configuration requiring you to reconfigure all your radios which can be quite tedious if you die often.

Solution you'd like: CBA setting that would allow you to configure what gets restored on respawn. E.g. checkboxes to:

  1. Restore radio channels
  2. Restore PTT keys
  3. Restore Radio Volume
  4. Restore Radio Spatial (Left, Right, Center)

Alternatives you've considered:

  1. Dying less often
  2. Adding functionality through mission scripting.

Additional context: (Working) prototype to restore channel configuration. https://github.com/MildlyInterested/MissionFramework/issues/5

Please implement this, it would be a great feature for units and it would give a peace of mind to the RTOs who can’t catch a break from the grim reaper that their radio channels are squared away

We have no plans of implementing this at this moment. Pull requests are welcome however.

I've got a working script (https://github.com/MildlyInterested/MissionFramework/pull/13/files) but have only done mission scripting up to this point so don't know how to integrate this into a mod. If anyone is willing to help me out on how to get this mod-ready I'm happy to to open a PR here.

Ideally https://github.com/IDI-Systems/acre2/pull/835 would be redone with data framework and this would just use it.

Released as mod, once all the kinks are ironed out happy to open a PR here to include it https://github.com/16AA-Milsim/ACRE-Persistence
