Source code

nice script )

Nice work. It would be nice if you could include source code, because C++ scripts can be quite harmful / malicious. It's not a requirement, though.

Suggestion:

Instead of UIMessageAll / ChatMessageAll, you can simply use UIMessage / ChatMessage and pass zero as ID parameter
(https://www.vaultmp.com/showwiki.php?title=UIMessage)

Or even nicer for ChatMessage, you can use

Code cpp:

Chat << "This message goes to all players";
Player player(playerID);
player << "This message goes to player with playerID";

Also, you don't have to define callbacks you don't use. If you define them, vaultmp will call them. So for performance reasons, you may want to comment them out / delete them.

Thanks for suggestion
Version 0.1.3:

• New commands
• More server settings

You are using SetActorBaseRace and SetActorBaseSex in OnPlayerRequestGame - that won't have any effect. That is because race / sex are tied to the base model used by the player, which is determined only after OnPlayerRequestGame (because that is the return value of it - if you return zero base, vaultmp will automatically choose an unused base model).

Note that all changes to base models are permanent (while the server is running). That is, if some player changes race to X and leaves the server, somebody else joins and gets the base which was used by the previous player, he will have race X.

To avoid this, you can manage base models yourself and for example reserve certain base models for players. This can be done by controlling the return value of OnPlayerRequestGame

If you do this, you should make sure that every player gets a unique base (by returning zero, vaultmp will make sure this is the case). Else several players will share some attributes (i.e. base values, race and sex - everything which has 'Base' in function name indicates that it is a base effect).

I had set zero as base in On PlayerRequestGame and move SetActorBaseRace and SetActorBaseSex into OnSpawn and it's work fine
Thanks for help
