J. Schmidt 10 Posted January 27, 2014 @[EVO] Dan That'll be great, for I'm still unable to get the MHQ script to work, I can spawn the vehicle, but everytime I respawn it doesn't respawn me at the vehicle, it respawns me at base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[evo] dan 79 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Try this: private ["_marker", "_veh"]; while {true} do { if (alive _veh) then { _marker = createMarker ["respawn_west", position _veh]; "respawn_west" setMarkerPos position _veh; hint format ["%1", getPosATL _veh]; }; if (!alive _veh) exitWith { "respawn_west" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "respawn_base"; }; sleep 0.5; }; And tell me what it returns in the hint. Also, do you have a respawn_west marker already on the map? If you do, don't try create another one in this script because you will confuse the poor thing. Use something like respawn_west1, as that should work. The game should then pick it up. Edited January 27, 2014 by [EVO] Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J. Schmidt 10 Posted January 27, 2014 @[EVO] Dan the MHQ script still isn't working, and I'm not getting any hints in return. This is getting kind of frustrating, is it not working because the player needs to have an action to set their respawn at the mhq? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[evo] dan 79 Posted January 27, 2014 So the hint isn't showing up for you? Is it giving you an error related to the code in your rpt file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[evo] dan 79 Posted January 28, 2014 Its not getting _veh passed to it as an argument is the problem. Try this: private ["_marker", "_veh"]; _veh = _this select 0; while {true} do { if (alive _veh) then { _marker = createMarker ["respawn_west", position _veh]; "respawn_west" setMarkerPos position _veh; hint format ["%1", getPosATL _veh]; }; if (!alive _veh) exitWith { "respawn_west" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "respawn_base"; }; sleep 0.5; }; And see what happens, if it doesn't work, repost the rpt.

J. Schmidt 10 Posted January 28, 2014 @[EVO] Dan I'll test that tomorrow when I get back on my main computer, I hope this fixes it, and for the "addAction" do I still need to have it scripted the way you told me before and do I need to put in the "_vehType = _this select 3 select 0" like KevsnoTrev suggests? I know if I keep the "addAction" scripted like you said before, I had to put in the suggestion KevsnoTrev said in order for the vehicle to spawn again.

[evo] dan 79 Posted January 28, 2014 Heres my example from something I wrote a few weeks back: _tar = _this select 3 select 0; _Veh = _this select 3 select 1; removeAllActions _tar; removeAllActions _Veh; _tar attachTo [_Veh, [0,0,0]]; _VehAction = _Veh addAction ["Unload","[[_this,'Logistics\Detach.sqf'],'BIS_fnc_execVM',true,true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP",[_Veh,_tar]]; The bottom line is how you would set it up for executing it, the arguments pass on, so yes he is right.

copper2010 1 Posted January 30, 2014 @KevsnoTrev Your script works great! Thanks a lot! Well, all the basics are in place at this point, I think it is time for a small closed alpha. Here are a few things I need before releasing an open beta. The resource system I mentioned early, alternately, a timer can be put on the action when you select it so that you cannot select it for a certain time (e.x. If I spawn an ATV, I won't be able to spawn on for another 5 minutes). I'm sure that would be much simpler then the resource system. On the flipside, it really takes out a lot of the tactics of capturing certain areas to get their resource benefits. Annnd, yea, that's all I can think of right now. The mission is actually coming along very smoothly, so cool to see everything come together! Again, thank you everyone for helping me out, none of this would've happened had you just ignored this, and I've learnt a great deal about scripting that will defiantly benefit future missions!

[evo] dan 79 Posted February 1, 2014 3) How to put a timer on addAction menus. The last thing we want is a team spamming helicopters, so I need some why to limit the when people spawn. This can be local and/or serverside. For this, you will want to remove the action temporarily once the helicopter has been spawned, you can do this in the script that you use to spawn the vehicle. Then, after a time delay, you can re add it to the place you want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copper2010 1 Posted February 2, 2014 @Gamer222 This would be better discussed in a private conversation, feel free to PM me if you need any help with respawns :) @Dan Thanks! I'll see what I can do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copper2010 1 Posted February 6, 2014 Ok, I'm back after a few days. I can't seem to find any "deleteAction" command on the wiki could you possibly give an example on how I would disable the action for a time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevsNoTrev 44 Posted February 6, 2014 Hi copper, use the condition part of the addaction if you have a global variable set to true when the action is allowed then you can change it to false when the 'timer' runs. Like this. this addaction ["Name of Action","Scripttorun.sqf",[],5,true,true,"","AllowAction"] This action will only show if AllowAction variable is true. This method is easier than adding and removing actions. You can set allowaction to true in the init.sqf, this will allow it to be seen at the start of the mission, or whenever you want it to be able to be used. Then just put allowaction = false at the top of your script. then at the end have a sleep of the time limit you want and then set allowaction = true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copper2010 1 Posted February 7, 2014 Hm, ok, so the allowaction = false is defiantly working, cause I can't see the options anymore, but either it is counting down the timer at the start of the mission, or I did something wrong in the init.sqf, either way something is wrong XD. Here are all the scripts involved spawnvehicleact.sqf I'm testing the timer on the quadbike first, ignore the other lines for now. set allowaction = false sleep 50 set allowaction = true private ["_box"]; _box = _this select 0; _box addAction ["Spawn Quadbike", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "quadbikeb",true,true,"","AllowAction"]; _box addAction ["Spawn AMV-7 Marshall", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "ltankb"]; _box addAction ["Spawn IFV-6c Panther", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "apcb"]; _box addAction ["Spawn M2A1 Slammer", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "htankb"]; init.sqf Everything below the set allowaction = true is for the respawn inventory, I don't think that is an issue. set allowaction = true [west, "WEST1"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [west, "WEST2"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [west, "WEST3"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [west, "WEST4"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [west, "WEST5"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [east, "EAST1"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [east, "EAST2"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [east, "EAST3"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [east, "EAST4"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; [east, "EAST5"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevsNoTrev 44 Posted February 7, 2014 Try these changes: I also realised you need to publicvariable the allowaction as it needs to update across all clients. Or one person will be locked out for 50 seconds and the rest of the players will be able to call in vehicles. selectVehicleAct.sqf // Add this to init box of object: null = [this] execVM "scripts\selectVehicleAct.sqf"; private ["_obj"]; _obj = _this select 0; _box addAction ["Spawn Quadbike", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "quadbikeb",true,true,"","AllowAction"]; _box addAction ["Spawn AMV-7 Marshall", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "ltankb"]; _box addAction ["Spawn IFV-6c Panther", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "apcb"]; _box addAction ["Spawn M2A1 Slammer", "vehicleSpawn.sqf", "htankb"]; selectVehicle.sqf private ["_unit", "_vehType", "_veh"]; AllowAction= false;publicvariable "AllowAction"; _unit = _this select 1; _vehType = _this select 3; sleep 0.001; waitUntil {!isNull _unit}; waitUntil {alive _unit}; switch (_vehType) do { case "Quadbike": { _veh = "B_Quadbike_01_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "vspawn"); cutText ["", "BLACK", 0.3]; sleep 1; _unit moveInDriver _veh; _unit assignAsDriver _veh; cutText ["", "BLACK IN", 5]; }; case "AMV-7 Marshall": { _veh = "B_APC_Wheeled_01_cannon_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "vspawn"); [[[_veh],"scripts\mhqRespawn.sqf"], "BIS_fnc_execVM", false, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; cutText ["", "BLACK", 0.3]; sleep 1; _unit moveInDriver _veh; _unit assignAsDriver _veh; cutText ["", "BLACK IN", 5]; }; case "IFV-6c Panther": { _veh = "B_APC_Tracked_01_rcws_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "vspawn"); cutText ["", "BLACK", 0.3]; sleep 1; _unit moveInDriver _veh; _unit assignAsDriver _veh; cutText ["", "BLACK IN", 5]; }; case "M2A1 Slammer": { _veh = "B_MBT_01_cannon_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "vspawn"); cutText ["", "BLACK", 0.3]; sleep 1; _unit moveInDriver _veh; _unit assignAsDriver _veh; cutText ["", "BLACK IN", 5]; }; }; sleep 50; AllowAction= true;publicvariable "AllowAction"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevsNoTrev 44 Posted February 7, 2014 you will need to put Allowaction = true; publicvariable "allowaction"; into your init.sqf to initialise the variable for use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copper2010 1 Posted February 8, 2014 Phew, ok, so after a couple of hours of tweaking the script, I found that, for some reason, the priority is required for the script to work. The only thing I need now is to have each menu individualized, basically have it so that the Quad is spawnable every 20 seconds, the APC every 300, etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
