Project Zomboid player indexing & shop support

[RtRFinch]

Cant send shop packages to players ingame

We tested this on a Project Zomboid Build 41.78.21 server (Steam branch legacy41) managed through GSA.

What worked:

• Sending RCON commands through GSA.
• The "players" command returned the connected player's in-game username.
• Giving items with additem. We tested food, medical supplies, tools, ammunition and a generator. The player confirmed receiving the items.
• Spawning a station wagon with:
  addvehicle "Base.CarStationWagon" "RTRFinch"
  The server returned "Vehicle spawned", and the player confirmed that the car appeared. Vehicle keys and condition were not verified.

What did not work:

• GSA did not capture a Project Zomboid character, even while the player was connected.
• Checkout still failed with "required a game server".

The successful deliveries were direct RCON tests through GSA, not completed shop purchases.

So RCON delivery works, but character capture and buyer-to-character mapping are still missing for an automatic shop workflow.

Hi, thanks for the info. We discussed this on Discord.

Could you please provide links to docs where I can find the available commands available for this game? That should help speed things up.

Thanks, but that wasn't really what I was asking :)

I dont have a PZ server atm, can you run player command and show me the output?

[RtRFinch]

ah misunderstand, thats all

command
players

Players connected (1):
-RTRFinch

{
"data": {
"command_response": "Players connected (1): \n-RTRFinch\n"
}
}

looking at that output, it's not showing any ID's. So without any ID's there isnt much we can do with it. We need ID's in order to connect the dots

You have to choose a name before joining, and each name is unique per server. If there were a linking command, you could use it to assign yourself an ID and link it to your name. But by default, I haven't seen a Steam ID or anything like that anywhere. :(
