Base Protection Script

Hello everyone,

Im looking for what the topic says. A Base Protection script. I've tried searching and tried using:

_position = anything here to get the position of where you want it (ie getPos vehicle, getMarkerPos shield, etc)
_shield = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (_position);
_shield setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];

I've tried both createVehicleLocal and createVehicle neither of which works for me.

I am unable to get it function on our multiplayer server hosted by NFO. I have gotten it to a point where is spawns the red cylinders but does not make them invisible like the script is designed to do.

Below is my init where the script is called and the script itself

init.sqf

if !isDedicated then { startLoadingScreen ["Loading...","RscLoadScreenCustom"]; };
enableSaving [false, false]; 
waitUntil { isServer || !isNull player }; 
waitUntil { !isNil "BIS_MPF_InitDone" }; 
waitUntil { BIS_MPF_InitDone }; 
#include "config.sqf"
[] execFSM "fsm\vehicledrivercheck.fsm";
_ammo = tfor_ammobox createVehicleLocal getMarkerPos "ammoboxes";
_ammo allowDamage false;
_ammo addAction ["<t color='#668AFF'>Save Loadout</t>", "scripts\saveloadout.sqf",[],-99,false,true,"",""];
[_ammo] execVM "scripts\ammocrate_filler.sqf";
res = [] execVM "scripts\ofpec_lightbulbs.sqf";
// Global Variable Init
curTime				= time;    //mission start time
serverLoadHint      = false;   //server load hint message



if (isServer) then {

//Base protection script
nul0 = [] execVM "ST3_Scripts\grief\base_antishoot.sqf";

// ACE Modules
ace_sys_wounds_enabled = true;							publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_enabled";
ace_sys_wounds_no_rpunish = true;						publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_no_rpunish";
ace_sys_wounds_auto_assist_any = false;					publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_auto_assist_any";
ace_sys_wounds_ai_movement_bloodloss = true;			publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_ai_movement_bloodloss";
ace_sys_wounds_player_movement_bloodloss = true;		publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_player_movement_bloodloss";
ace_sys_wounds_auto_assist = true;						publicVariable "ace_sys_wounds_auto_assist";
if !(player hasWeapon "ACE_Earplugs") then {player addWeapon "ACE_Earplugs";};
};

if (local player) then { call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "initclient.sqf"; }; 
if (isServer) then { call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "initserver.sqf"; };

// Uncomment this line to disable players from manually switching power on and off through the action menu at transformer locations.  True or Nil: enabled.  False: disabled.  Default is enabled.
//AEG_manual = false;

AEG_explode = 4; 

// Comment or delete this line to NOT require a password to logon to the grid control software system.  In the demo on Chernarus a password is required at Elektrozavodsk but NOT at Chernogorsk.
AEG_password = "123456";

// Uncomment the following line to enable the simulation to remain consistent for team switching players in SP and in the editor.
//onTeamSwitch {[_from, _to] execVM "AEG\Scripts\AEG_team.sqf";};

// Debug options for developer only.  Similar code is present in most simulation scripts.
//AEG_DEBUG = true;

I'm sorry to dig this topic up after it's been more than a couple of months, but I am having this same exact problem. For some reason I cannot get this to work on a dedicated server. This is the only thing that protects my base from damage.

protected_zone.sqf

//spawn at markers pzone1 - pzone10
_pzone1 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone1");
_pzone2 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone2");
_pzone3 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone3");
_pzone4 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone4");
_pzone5 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone5");
_pzone6 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone6");
_pzone7 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone7");
_pzone8 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone8");
_pzone9 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone9");
_pzone10 = "ProtectionZone_Ep1" createVehicleLocal (getMarkerPos "pzone10");

//make them invisible to eye
_pzone1 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone2 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone3 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone4 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone5 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone6 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone7 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone8 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone9 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];
_pzone10 setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0,ca)"];

For anybody that does not know what this does exactly, it basically prevents any kind of damage from being done within a 50 meter radius of the object. Placing a bunch inside your base, about 25 meters distance apart, will protect your base from anything from bullets and c4, to artillery and plane crashes. Basically it protects your base from idiots.

I read somewhere that it needs to be run on each client, so what would be the best way to do that?

I haven't been able to test this further, but this is what I am guessing...

init.sqf (wrong?):

if (isServer) then {
null = [] execVM "protected_zone.sqf";
};

init.sqf (would one of these be correct?):

[player] execVM "protected_zone.sqf";


[] execVM "protected_zone.sqf";


execVM "protected_zone.sqf";
