Spawning "Compositions"

[bigshotking 11]

This is the link that bring you directly to where I"m getting the class name of the Compositions.

http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Objects/compositions/

I'm using this code to spawn the compositions:

_comp5 = "firing_range_targets11" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "m6_10");
_comp5 = setDirection 200;

Any ideas whats wrong?

[cobra4v320 27]

There is already a thread on this here.

But here you go:

_newObjs = [getmarkerpos "m6_10",200, "firing_range_targets11"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

[bigshotking 11]

Thank you the help cobra.

And also thanks for the quick reply

[bigshotking 11]

One more quick question, how can I delete this "Compositions" that I have spawned in?

Thanks in advance

-Bigshot

[CarlGustaffa 4]

_newObjs contain a list over all the spawned objects. Loop delete over those perhaps?

[moricky 211]

_newObjs = [getmarkerpos "m6_10",200, "firing_range_targets11"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

Or instead or compiling script every time, you can use BIS_fnc_objectMapper function which does the same.

[bigshotking 11]

So then if I want to delete the comp then would this work?

delete _newobjs;

[twirly 11]

You have to delete the objects that make up _newobjs..... Try this....

{deleteVehicle _x} foreach _newobjs;

[bigshotking 11]

Roger that Thanks for the help!

[demonized 20]

im having major deja vu on this one, but this is also one way of getting rid of an entire composition, well, more of a workaround, but in Arma thats just another way :)

_before = nearestObjects [getmarkerpos "m6_10", [], 100];  // collect all objects in 100 meter radius before comp spawn.
// spawn your composition here.
_after = nearestObjects [getmarkerpos "m6_10", [], 100];  // collect all objects in 100 meter radius after comp spawn.
_compObjects = _after - _before; // fix the list with only comp components, (remove all pre comp list from after comp list)

// when you want to delete the composition:
{deleteVehicle _x} foreach _compObjects;

[bigshotking 11]

Thanks Demonized! :D

[CarlGustaffa 4]

It can be a good idea to put the objectMapper function within the mission itself. That way you can do modifications to it, like treat vehicles specially or fill ammo crates with custom content.

[bigshotking 11]

"ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"

What pbo is that script in?

I can unpbo it and modify the script so that I can put custom content in there.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Well the path says modules\dyno, but I would also have a look in functions.

[bigshotking 11]

OK, I've noticed this in almost ALL of the Compositions...

This:

http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp177/bigshotking/ArmA2OA2011-07-3023-41-56-75.png

In the screen shot that is the error I get almost all the time, only a few of these compositions work.

After Un-Pboing the Modules file, I moved the correct folders to my mission folder. After going through a few of the sqf files I noticed this line missing from almost all of the compositions:

scriptName "DynO\data\scripts\compositions\bunkerMedium03.sqf";

That line was missing in all of the one's that were not working. I added it to the composition I'm trying to fix, yet I still get the error.

This is the script of the actual composition I'm trying to spawn (I added the "scriptname" line to it):

 scriptName "DynO\data\scripts\compositions\heli_park_ru1.sqf";

_objs

This is the script that is calling on the composition:

_comp1 = [getmarkerpos "m11_6",0, "heli_park_ru1"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

Also this is from the config file that relates to the composition that I'm trying to spawn:

 class HeliParking1_RU
{
 displayName = "$STR_DYNO_VEHICLEPARKING";
 side = 0;
 faction = "RU";
 objectScript = "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\compositions\heli_park_ru1.sqf";
 tags[] = {"helicopter","parking","east","ru"};
};

Is there something wrong here? Or am I not allowed to spawn almost any of these compositions?

Thanks in advance

fix

[CarlGustaffa 4]

I don't know, I don't use that method, but rather pretty much like Gaia describes (except on a local copy of that function). The class you refer to I don't think we need to worry too much about, as it's more related to dynamic spawning based on tags, and a bit more complex than "I know what I want".

I'm guessing you actually do use CO and not only OA? OA alone probably will fail if trying to spawn russian stuff.

[bigshotking 11]

Yes I am using CO, is there another way to spawn these compositions that don't want to work?

[bigshotking 11]

Thanks demonized, I'll try it out!

[demonized 20]

btw, here is what i did to collect all the current installed compositions in .rpt

place script in init.sqf and place yourself in center of a map(only if you want to see them), then wait for hint and check .rpt file for all glorious info.

PS: uncomment the _newComp line and place yourself in the lower left corner of the desert map and you can (hold ALT + click)teleport around viewing all different compositions, youll see markers on map with what they are.

// init.sqf

private["_posX", "_posY", "_i", "_cfg", "_count", "_cfgiName", "_markerName", "_cfgiTags"];

sleep 1;

_posX = (getPos player) select 0;
_posY = ((getPos player) select 1) + 50;

// Read Config File
_cfg =(configFile >> "CfgObjectCompositions");
_count = count _cfg;

hintSilent "Starting Composition Generation...";
_myCnt = 0;
for [{_i = 0}, {_i < _count}, {_i = _i + 1}] do
{
_cfgiName = configName (_cfg select _i);
_cfgiTags = getArray ((_cfg select _i) >> "tags");

// Create Marker
_markerName = createMarker["mrk" + _cfgiName, [_posX + (_i%8)*400, _posY + floor(_i/8)*90 + (_i%2)*45]];
_markerName setMarkerShape "ICON";
_markerName setMarkerType "FOB";
_markerName setMarkerText _cfgiName;

// Marker Color
if ("west" in _cfgiTags) then { _markerName setMarkerColor "ColorBlue"; };
if ("east" in _cfgiTags) then { _markerName setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; };
if ("resistance" in _cfgiTags) then { _markerName setMarkerColor "ColorYellow"; };

// Create Composition
//_newComp = [(getMarkerPos _markerName), (markerDir _markerName), _cfgiName] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));
_myCnt = _myCnt + 1;
diag_log format["%1------%2------%3",_myCnt,_cfgiName,_cfgiTags];

};

hintSilent "..done!";

// Teleport with ALT + LMB
onMapSingleClick "
if ((local player) and _alt) then
{
(vehicle player) setPos _pos;
}";

edit, i meant place yourself in lower left corner, not middle.

[mr_centipede 31]

This is the script that is calling on the composition:

_comp1 = [getmarkerpos "m11_6",0, "[b][color="Red"]heli_park_ru1[/color][/b]"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

Also this is from the config file that relates to the composition that I'm trying to spawn:

 class [b][color="red"]HeliParking1_RU[/color][/b] {
 displayName = "$STR_DYNO_VEHICLEPARKING";
 side = 0;
 faction = "RU";
 objectScript = "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\compositions\heli_park_ru1.sqf";
 tags[] = {"helicopter","parking","east","ru"};
};

Is there something wrong here? Or am I not allowed to spawn almost any of these compositions?

Thanks in advance

-Bigshot

I think the BOLDED line are where I think that is wrong... you must call the class name of the composition, not the scriptfile creating the composition

[demonized 20]

Mr_Centipede is totally correct, from my cfgCompositions list i get this:

"46------[b]HeliParking1_RU[/b]------["helicopter","parking","east","ru"]"

the bolded part is what to use with spawning.

[bigshotking 11]

Will try that out right now...

EDIT: Still not working

Edited August 1, 2011 by bigshotking

[demonized 20]

this line works as is:

newComp = [(getPos player), (getDir player), "HeliParking1_RU"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));  

tested.
