Feature Request - spawnGearPresetFiles linked cfgPLayerSpawnPoint.xml spawn group.
Feedback, UrgentPublic

Description

Hey guys.
Requesting this feature to give some visibility and not to confuse it as a bug.

With 1.23 it'll be possible via config files to set spawn gear on any platform & to set spawn groups for player spawn points.
From a player gameplay perspective spawning with a certain preset would affect their character background.
The same could be said about their spawn point as they enter a server.
Given how those 2 new configs are going to work, would be possible to request a parameter to tie a specific spawn group to a specific spawnGearPresetFiles ?

Example:
from cfgPLayerSpawnPoints.xml, where the spawn group is configured, server owners can already (1.23) do something of this sort, but nothing can be done to give someone spawning close to a police station the specific police preset

<group name="PoliceSpawnPoint" lifetime="240" counter="-1">
    <pos x="3559" z="2429" />
    <pos x="6622" z="2600" />
    <pos x="6197" z="2931" />
    <pos x="10474" z="2265" />
    <pos x="12053" z="3620" />
    <pos x="12069" z="9075" />
    <pos x="12948" z="10174" />
    <pos x="13851" z="13230" />
</group>

which could be implemented as a parameter (spawnGroup or anything similar) in the spawnGearPresetFiles as such

{
    "spawnWeight": 1,
    "name": "Police Preset",
    "spawnGroup": "PoliceSpawnPoint",
    "characterTypes": ["SurvivorF_Judy", "SurvivorM_Lewis"],
    "attachmentSlotItemSets": [],
    "discreteUnsortedItemSets": []
}

or the other way around by calling a spawnGearPresetFiles parameter in the spawn group xml.

Please consider this, it would make way more sense for a player spawning with police gear to spawn close to a police station, while another with patient gear for example to spawn close to an hospital.

I like this idea. It would also be great if you could select character presets from a dialog when entering the server. I'm sure RP and PVP server owners would find it useful.

This is a great idea and would help with keeping dayz the imersive experience it's supposed to be !

Would allow for so many exciting opportunities, would love to see this.

This would be a nice addition.

This is a great idea, could be used in many ways to implement RP or PVE gamers spawning into the game, police near police station as The author stated, maybe a hunting/survivalist kit for northern or inland spawns, a semi military kit for cities, and a more survivable kit allowing for new players (still learning) to actually enjoy learning the game, to concentrate on survival, instead of growing bored, just repeatedly dying. Great idea!
