Trigger Safe Zone?

[frankiie 10]

Im working on a PVP map and I'm wanting each base to not get spawn killd, is there a way to create a safe zone, where no bullets can come in go out from a trigger?

I researched much, but can't find anything really. Anything is helpful!

have a look on armaholic for a script called grenadestop - it stops bullets to I think.

it works on a marker name and a distance to that marker.

Do you know what you need to name the marker and such?

The author didn't seem to post much info, unless im missing something.

try this one from invade and annex - its based on the one by Bake found on armaholic

/*
   GrenadeStop v0.8 for ArmA 3 Alpha by Bake (tweaked slightly by Rarek)

   DESCRIPTION:
   Stops players from throwing grenades in safety zones.

   INSTALLATION:
   Move grenadeStop.sqf to your mission's folder. Then add the
   following line to your init.sqf file (create one if necessary):
   execVM "grenadeStop.sqf";

   CONFIGURATION:
   Edit the #defines below.
*/

#define SAFETY_ZONES    [["respawn_west", 20],["RESPAWN_Guer",20],["respawn-east",15]] // Syntax: [["marker1", radius1], ["marker2", radius2], ...]
#define MESSAGE "Firing/Grenades Disable this close to Spawn!"

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};
waitUntil {!isNull player};

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
   if ({(_this select 0) distance getMarkerPos (_x select 0) < _x select 1} count SAFETY_ZONES > 0) then
   {
       deleteVehicle (_this select 6);
       titleText [MESSAGE, "PLAIN", 3];
   };
}];

under safety zones you can put you marker names and distances in there.

hope that helps.

put in your init.sqf file

 execVM "Grenadestop.sqf";

Alright, so I put the grenadestop.sqf AND the init.sqf in my mission file. I didn't really modify anything in the grenadestop.sqf, because I really don't get scripts too much yet, and it could be telling me to change something but I just pass it. lol, but I set two markers one named Marker1 and other marker2. I put the radius's at like 10 but when I spawn with a opfor dude starts to shoot at me nothing happens. well I just die. . What do you think am doing wrong here? :(

Correct.

try adjusting the distance a little. I also can't be sure if this stops the AI shooting. it might take some tweaking but for TvT it works well.

hmm, ok I was doing something wrong. lol I didn't set down the respawn_west & east markers. how it works. :D

Thanks man

[KevsNoTrev 44]

didnt work

This script is for players and when a player gets in a vehicle

vehicle player != player

So it needs to be adapted to include a vehicle. the only issue is that this will need to be added to all vehicles. that is fine unless you spawn vehicles and they can be driven/flown back to base.

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};
_veh = _this;

if (_veh != "WeaponHolderSimulated") then {

_veh addEventHandler ["Fired", {
   if ({(_this select 0) distance getMarkerPos (_x select 0) < _x select 1} count SAFETY_ZONES > 0) then    {
       deleteVehicle (_this select 6);
       titleText [MESSAGE, "PLAIN", 3];
   };
}];
}; 

Call in init.sqf by using

player execvm "GrenadeStop.sqf";
{
_x execVM "GrenadeStop.sqf"} foreach vehicles;}

NOTE: UNTESTED - just thought of it and heading out.
