spawning custom composition not working

[hogmason 2]

so i am trying to spawn a custom compostition but its not working this is what i have tried

campp = ["taliban_camp", random 360, getMarkerPos "test"] execVM "HOG_scripts\HOG_camps\taliban_camp.sqf";

just in case this is the composition

private ["_objs"];
_objs =
[
["Land_A_tent",[-2.33594,1.51538,0.0048542],48.5307,1,0],
["Land_Fire",[-3.51001,-2.67993,-0.000789642],17.7859,1,0],
["Land_A_tent",[-6.37085,1.0791,0.00257874],298.934,1,0],
["Land_A_tent",[-7.28345,-1.84814,0.00243378],276.064,1,0],
["Land_CamoNet_EAST",[-8.08618,-0.0556641,0.00974464],280.621,1,0],
["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,this addeventhandler ["killed", { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable "Target1_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"This Camp can no longer communicate with other insurgents"] call RE;}]]
];

_objs

Is that land antenna line correct? Is adding all that code actually used as part of the objectmapper script? What's the code for taliban_camp.sqf?

[hogmason 2]

taliban_camp.sqf

private ["_objs"];
_objs =
[
["Land_A_tent",[-2.33594,1.51538,0.0048542],48.5307,1,0],
["Land_Fire",[-3.51001,-2.67993,-0.000789642],17.7859,1,0],
["Land_A_tent",[-6.37085,1.0791,0.00257874],298.934,1,0],
["Land_A_tent",[-7.28345,-1.84814,0.00243378],276.064,1,0],
["Land_CamoNet_EAST",[-8.08618,-0.0556641,0.00974464],280.621,1,0],
["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,this addeventhandler ["killed", { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable "Target1_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"This Camp can no longer communicate with other insurgents"] call RE;}]]
];

_objs

the only reason i need the antenns to have a variable is so when it is destroyed i can end that task.

I think its correct i also tried this

["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,[color="#FF0000"]"[/color]this addeventhandler ["killed", { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable "Target1_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"ThisCamp can no longer communicate with other insurgents"] call RE;}][color="#FF0000"];"[/color]]

but it diddnt work keep getting missing ] error

Assuming that value will even be used you'd want the quotes like this:

["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,"this addeventhandler [[color="#FF0000"]'[/color]killed[color="#FF0000"]'[/color], { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable [color="#FF0000"]'[/color]Target1_active[color="#FF0000"]'[/color]; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,[color="#FF0000"]'[/color]This Camp can no longer communicate with other insurgents[color="#FF0000"]'[/color]] call RE}]"]

ok so i done that and still it did not spawn i even tried removing the custom antenna and just using the original bis camp script that i modified my one from and still it did not spawn it must be to do with how i am trying to spawn it.

[kylania 568]

I can't get custom compositions to work at all. The wiki instructions are just plain wrong or outdated. The link to the files you need is a 404. Using the ones from ArmA2 doesn't work at all, with meaningless or missing errors. All the debug stuff uses a non-functional method of logging errors. Sorry.

Turns out the wiki instructions were built using customized versions of the grabber and mapper scripts and the link to them was dead. This has now been fixed. :)

[panther42 52]

hogmason, you're not even using the objectmapper.sqf to place them...

i actually just worked that out lol but its still not working when i do this

placed objectMapper.sqf inside of HOG_scripts\HOG_camps\

and i have taliban_camp.sqf in the same folder and in the main folder where the init.sqf is

then i use to spawn it

campp = ["taliban_camp",getDir center,getMarkerPos "test"] execVM "HOG_scripts\HOG_camps\objectMapper.sqf";

but nothing no error no camp nothing lol

[kylania 568]

Found it! The Wiki uses these custom grabber/mapper scripts.

If you use those it works to spawn the comps and the init field thing works properly as well!

[panther42 52]

try placing your custom composition(taliban_camp.sqf) in a folder called "compositions", without the quotes of course

and use the link kylania posted :D
