adding money

Bah, didn't work for me. Oh well! Glad you're happy. :)

lol i tried it again and it didnt work, before when i shot the guy in the car it worked but i couldnt salvage one of the 3 guys standing around and this time around i blew up the tank before the guys got out but i could still salvage the tank :) its all good, its like you cant always find stuff worth salvaging :)

[Deg 10]

So i was tinkering around a bit and thought there would be alot of useful stuff to salvage on the empty side, like woodpiles, iron pipes and such, so to start off why not try and use some of the empty side Wrecks to salvage, so in the addsalvage.sqf i put, case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "UralWreck"): {_amount = 20;}; and in the init line of the wreck i put, UralWreck addAction ["Salvage","addSalvage.sqf"]; i named the wreck "UralWreck" i tried it out and sure enough it worked :). Now if i wanted to have a bunch of ural wrecks scattered around my map instead of naming them all wreck1,2 and so on, would i need to put an addaction for the ural wrecks in my init.sqf ?

[kylania 568]

You shouldn't have to do anything with the init lines as long as UralWreck is the correct classType of that wreck object. (For OA it might be UralWrack_EP1 maybe?)

But yeah, try it with that extra line in the init.sqf like you have and see if it works. I'm stupid busy at work right now, so can't really test, but give it a shot and I'll take a look tonight. :)

[Deg 10]

Great thanks, i just wasnt to sure if thats what i needed to do, ill give it a shot :)

[Deg 10]

I got busy earlier, so i just tried it out now with the extra line but didnt work, did i put UralWreck addAction ["Salvage","addSalvage.sqf"];in the right place? im still trying to figure it out though :)

You want to change it in addSalvage.sqf:

private["_amount"];

_salvagedItem = _this select 0;

switch (true) do {
case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "UralWreck"): {_amount = 10;};
case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "Tank"): {_amount = 200;};
case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "LandVehicle"): {_amount = 100;};
case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "Man"): {_amount = 15;};
default {_amount = 0};
};

deleteVehicle _salvagedItem;
myMoney = myMoney + _amount;
Call Compile Format["PublicVariable ""myMoney"";"];

_name = getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeOf _salvagedItem >> "displayName");
hint format["Earned: %1 for salvaging %2 - [%3]",_amount, _name, myMoney];

For the UralWrecks you'll probably want to do something like nearestObjects to assign the addAction to them.

Yup thats how i had it in the addsalvage.sqf :),ok checking out nearestObjects on biki, thanks again.

[Deg 10]

I made a bit of progress, i left the UralWreck addAction as it is in the init.sqf and put down a couple UralWrecks in the editor and put,

this addAction ["Salvage","addSalvage.sqf"];

in their init lines and i could salvage them all its a little victory but ill take it :)

[Deg 10]

I actually didnt need that extra UralWreck addAction in my init.sqf,as long as i have ''this addAction ["Salvage","addSalvage.sqf"];'' in my Wrecks init lines and the ''case (_salvagedItem isKindOf "UralWreck"): {_amount = 10;};'' in my addSalvage.sqf im all good. :)

[Deg 10]

I have another little question id like to ask. I was thinking its kind of unrealistic for the player to walk up to a wreck or whatever it is and salvage it, i happened to see the salvage truck in the editor and it made me think of this. Would it be possible to have it so the player can only salvage when he is in the truck or just out side it ? Would i need to do something along the lines of, if player is in truck x then salvage ? i hope this makes sense :)

[kylania 568]

Put this as your URALWreck addAction. It will check that a salvage truck is within 50m of the wreck before letting it salvage.

this addAction ["Salvage","addSalvage.sqf",[],1,false,true,"","alive (nearestObject [_target, ""MtvrSalvage_DES_EP1""])"];

One thing to be aware of this though, the classnames for the US OA Salvage and Supply trucks are backwards. If you put down "Supply Truck [uS]" the class you're putting down is MtvrSalvage_DES_EP1. if you put down "Salvage Truck [uS]" the class you're putting down is MtvrSupply_DES_EP1. So if you wanted the truck with the covered back use "Salvage" and if you want the one with repair like stuff in it, use "Supply" even though those are backwards.

You only way to do it while the player is in the truck is to add the action to the salvage truck and check for Ural Wrecks near it.

[Deg 10]

Thanks alot Kylania :) ya i noticed that while i was looking at armaHolic for the name of the supply truck also where i found Land_Misc_IronPipes_EP1 among other objects. Ill give it a try after i walk my Dog :) Thanks again
