Summary
Locks chosen items to the player who picked them up. Anyone else who takes them has them removed.
Description
Stops restricted gear being handed around.
Built for rank-locked and progression servers, where the rank gate only
controls who can TAKE an item from the arsenal — nothing stops that player
walking over and dropping it for someone who hasn't earned it.
This closes that gap. The first player to hold a marked item becomes its
owner. Anyone else who tries to pick it up is refused, and if it reaches
their inventory by any other route it is removed.
HOW IT BEHAVES
- Ownership is claimed on first pickup — arsenal, ground loot or spawn
loadout all count.
- Dropping an item does NOT release it. Leaving it on the ground or in a
crate for a friend gets them nothing.
- Ownership is tied to the player's account, not their session slot, so it
survives disconnects, reconnects and slot changes.
- Dying releases the item so it becomes battlefield salvage and rebinds to
whoever loots it. This can be turned off, so locked gear stays locked
even through death.
- Enforcement is server-authoritative. Nothing is trusted to the client.
- Unmarked items are completely untouched and behave exactly as vanilla.
SETUP
Add the CER_IPL_LockableComponent component to any item prefab you want
locked — night vision, optics, launchers, whatever your ranks gate. That is
the only setup step. Everything else applies automatically with no world
edits, no game mode configuration and no prefab work beyond the items
themselves.
CONFIGURATION
A JSON config is generated on first run, alongside a plain-English readme
explaining every option. Saved changes apply within about 30 seconds — no
server restart.
You can control whether offending items are deleted or simply dropped,
whether death releases ownership, whether AI are included, and the logging
level.
