Basic Deploy Menu Integration

[wyqydsyq]

I know it's not implemented as a base EPF feature yet but I was hoping to get some basic integration with the vanilla deploy menu working.

Currently I have this OnCharacterDataLoaded override which combined with overriding the "DEPLOY" button action to call CreateCharacter seems to work perfectly fine upon initial player join:

	override void OnCharacterDataLoaded(EDF_EDbOperationStatusCode statusCode, EPF_CharacterSaveData characterData, Managed context)
	{
		Tuple2<int, string> characterContext = Tuple2<int, string>.Cast(context);
		PrintFormat("PMCW: OnCharacterDataLoaded: Player %1", characterContext.param2);
		if (characterData)
		{
			LoadCharacter(characterContext.param1, characterContext.param2, characterData);
		}
		else
		{
			// deploy menu needs faction set before opening
			PlayerController playerController = GetGame().GetPlayerManager().GetPlayerController(characterContext.param1);
			if (!playerController)
				return;
			
			SCR_PlayerFactionAffiliationComponent fac = SCR_PlayerFactionAffiliationComponent.Cast(playerController.FindComponent(SCR_PlayerFactionAffiliationComponent));
			Faction def = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionByKey("PMC"); // @TODO load faction from persisted state
			PrintFormat("PMCW: OnCharacterDataLoaded: Setting player %1 faction to %2", characterContext.param2, def.GetFactionKey());
			fac.SetFaction(playerController, def);
			
			// assign new player to their own new group, they can invite or join others later
			SCR_PlayerControllerGroupComponent playerControllerGroupComp = SCR_PlayerControllerGroupComponent.GetPlayerControllerComponent(characterContext.param1);
			if (!playerControllerGroupComp)
				return;

			playerControllerGroupComp.RequestCreateGroup(); //requestCreateGroup automatically puts player to the newly created group
			
			SCR_DeployMenuMain.OpenDeployMenu();
		}
	}

But upon player death I am struggling to get the deploy menu to open again, I replaced the call to CreateCharacter in my override of OnPlayerKilled_S:

GetGame().GetCallqueue().Call(SCR_DeployMenuMain.OpenDeployMenu);

But it doesn't open and the player is just left with a black screen after death, nothing obvious from the logs so I'm guessing something is just silently returning out, any ideas what I'm missing here?

This logic does not work. It is executed on the server and will not work in multiplayer.

I ended up finding a work-around by putting the deploy menu call in an RPC method on an entity the local client owns (playercontroller) and calling that from here
