How do you create two Markers from a players position at a different distance away!

[avibird 1 153]

I am working on dynamic base building mission/script using the ARMA2 compositions I have no issue when using only one composition that will spawn at the players current location using the set marker command in a SQF. My issues is I want to use two different compositions at the same dynamic base BUT I can't get the compositions to spawn at a small distance away from each other or get two different markers down using the same SQF to call the script during the mission.

The first Hqd2 works fine but the second one will not show up.

	player sideChat "Requesting British Outpost to build in our Area Of Operations";
sleep 2;
PAPABEAR=[West,"HQ"]; 
PAPABEAR SideChat "Roger that, Sparrow 2 will be operational soon";
sleep 5;

hqd2 = createMarker ["hqd2", position player];
hqd2 setMarkerType "Select";
hqd2 setMarkerText "Sparrow 2";
hqd2 setMarkerColor "ColorBlue";
hqd2 = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (position player);
hqd2 = "SmokeShellOrange" createVehicle (position player);


hqd3 = createMarker ["hqd3", position player,25];
hqd3 setMarkerType "Headquarters";
hqd3 setMarkerText "new base location";
hqd3 setMarkerColor "ColorRED";
hqd3 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player,25);
hqd3 = "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player,25);

This is what I use to call the compositions.

hq2d = createVehicle ["Land_radar", [(getpos hq2) select 0,(getpos hq2) select 1,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
deleteVehicle hq2;
sleep 3;

hq2sb = [getPos hq2d, random 360, "cityBase04"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

hq3sb = [getPos hq3d, random 360, "cityBase03"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

I can only get the first one to spawn any help would be great!

[Harzach 2511]

At first glance, a couple of formatting issues. You need to use getMarkerPos, not getPos, the getMarkerPos part needs to be in parentheses, and marker names need to be in quotes:

hq2sb = [(getMarkerPos "hq2d"), random 360, "cityBase04"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

hq3sb = [(getMarkerPos "hq3d"), random 360, "cityBase03"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

Not sure what's going on here:

hq2d = createVehicle ["Land_radar", [(getpos hq2) select 0,(getpos hq2) select 1,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
deleteVehicle hq2;

hqd2 is already defined (it's the name of one of your markers). Also, where is hq2 defined?

@Harzach hey thank you for your reply. First the formatting issues of not using getMarkerPos is not a major problem the script works fine. if I am using only one marker at a time. I will switch it out if you say it is not the proper formatting Syntax (:

Not sure what's going on here:

PHP Code:

hq2d = createVehicle ["Land_radar", [(getpos hq2) select 0,(getpos hq2) select 1,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

deleteVehicle hq2;

hqd2 is already defined (it's the name of one of your markers). Also, where is hq2 defined?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

The hq2 is a part of the scripts that allows the player to call for the FOB to be build during the mission. Actually you are using two SQF's to call/build the FOB's. The first part calls the marker and adds a action menu to an object that allows the player to call in various support units from the base the second SQF builds the base using the compositions. Hope you understand what I am saying.

Let me restated How can I call a marker position not using the players exact location.

I want the marker to be placed down like 25 meters away from the player. I have attempted to use the

[(player ModelToWorld [0,+25,0]), 0]

and

[ position player, 25];

This is the first part that calls the marker on the map

I just need a way to add a marker X meters away from the players location when he calls for the marker location dynamically during the mission. Can this be done?

Edited March 19, 2014 by AVIBIRD 1

[Harzach 2511]

You simply can't getPos/setPos a marker - you must use getMarkerPos/setMarkerPos.

Do you want the marker created 25 meters away in a specific direction? The direction the player is facing? A random direction?

//_markDir = ###; 					//script-defined
//_markDir = getDir player;  		 //direction player is facing
//_markDir = (0 + (random 359));  	//random direction

//use only one of the above!

_markDist = 25;
_distX = round(_markDist * sin _markDir);
_distY = round(_markDist * cos _markDir);
deleteMarker "hq2d";
hqd2 = createMarker ["hq2d", [(getPos player select 0) + _distX, (getPos player select 1) + _distY, 0]];

Tested and working. I added a deleteMarker so that the script can be run multiple times if needed.

[avibird 1 153]

Hey sorry I am still a little lost!

I attempted to use this

hqd2 = createMarker ["hqd2", position player];

hqd2 setMarkerType "Select";

hqd2 setMarkerText "Sparrow 2";

hqd2 setMarkerColor "ColorBlue";

hqd2 = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (position player);

hqd2 = "SmokeShellOrange" createVehicle (position player);

_markDist = 40;

_distX = round(_markDist * cos _markDir);

_distY = round(_markDist * sin _markDir);

hqd3 = createMarker [(getPos player select 0) + _distX, (getPos player select 1) + _distY, 0];

hqd3 setMarkerType "Select";

hqd3 setMarkerText "new marker 2";

hqd3 setMarkerColor "ColorRED";

hqd3 = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (position player);

hqd3 = "SmokeShellOrange" createVehicle (position player);

My first marker gets placed down but no second marker noted on the map! the script works fine but I need a second marker to be able to have a second composition spawn when the base is build using this

hq2sb = [getPos hq2d, random 360, "cityBase04"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

hq3sb = [getPos hq3d, random 360, "cityBase03"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

help lol

[Harzach 2511]

Which option are you using for markDir? Note that I made some corrections since I first posted that code.

If you want it where the player is facing:

hqd2 = createMarker ["hqd2", position player];
hqd2 setMarkerType "Select";
hqd2 setMarkerText "Sparrow 2";
hqd2 setMarkerColor "ColorBlue";
hqd2 = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (position player);
hqd2 = "SmokeShellOrange" createVehicle (position player);

_markDir = getDir player;
_markDist = 40;
_distX = round(_markDist * sin _markDir);
_distY = round(_markDist * cos _markDir);

hqd3 = createMarker ["hqd3", [(getPos player select 0) + _distX, (getPos player select 1) + _distY, 0]];  
hqd3 setMarkerType "Select";
hqd3 setMarkerText "new marker 2";
hqd3 setMarkerColor "ColorRED";
hqd3 = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (position player);
hqd3 = "SmokeShellOrange" createVehicle (position player);

Also, you have to use getMarkerPos and marker names in quotes for these to work, else your compositions will spawn at [0,0,0]:

hq2sb = [getMarkerPos "hqd2", random 360, "cityBase04"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf "));

hq3sb = [getMarkerPos "hqd3", random 360, "cityBase03"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf "));

Some confusion there regarding naming - just cleaned some things up.

Hey Harzach I want to thank you for your replies and help on this road block. My issue of spawning two compositions while using my dynamic base building/support script/mission is solved. It was quite simple.

hq2d = createVehicle ["FlagCarrierWhite_EP1", [(getpos hq2) select 0,(getpos hq2) select 1,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

deleteVehicle hq2;

sleep 3;

hq2sb = [getPos hq2d, random 0, "CityBase02_EP1"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

hq3sb = [position Player, 20, "CityBase04_EP1"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

The first composition will get Spawned at the hq2d object which is the hq2 marker location from the first SQF that is called by the player.

The second composition will get Spawned 20 meters away from the first composition which will make a good size FOB for the players.

The hq2d object will have a menu attached to it that will allow the player to spawn various support units and other base objects.

Having two markers placed down on the map was never the main focus it was getting the two compositions to spawn at slightly different locations from the same SQF to make one big fortification for the FOB. My issues was the two compositions would spawn on each other with my attempts. Now if I want to spawn three compositions to make a very large fortification dynamically I see no other way but to use different markers locations to spawn them into the mission.However three is just to big giving the fact it will take up to much terrain and it would be hard during a dynamic mission to find that much flat area always were you would need to build the FOB's.

You keep saying the You simply can't getPos/setPos a marker - you must use getMarkerPos/setMarkerPos.

But you really can. My script works fine using it my way however YOUR WAY is most likely more efficient and I will change the code lines that you have provided to me (:

I again thank you for your time and help. I have one more questions and major problem. I have the coin interface attached to an object that gets spawned inside the FOB's all works fine but after the player moves the FOB's to a new location the coin menu will not show up anymore. I can get the coin interface menu attached to a player and after death it will show up again but not an object ie flag pole. Do you have any clue why. I know the coin interface was never completed finished by BOHEMIA like the HC. I don't know if that is a bug or not for ARMA2/OA. Avibird. My mission is a domination/warfare/insurgency type mission hybrid that can be played COOP or P vs P.

[Harzach 2511]

Happy to help where I can!

I'd be very interested to see your finished scripts, so as to determine what is actually happening there with getPos and markers. It literally should not work, so something else must be going on.

As for the COIN module, I have never really messed around with the default BIS modules much, so I don't know how they behave or what their properties as objects are. From what I do understand, it must be synchronized to a player/players. Hopefully someone can chime in on that...

[Jigsor 175]

Couldn't you just use an offset such as:

_posOk = [getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 0,getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 1,0];
_posOkOffset = [getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 0, (getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 1) - 20,0];

Though I'm not sure that would work. As I always use a logic like invisible helipad for getPos object when placing compositions.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

As for finding a large and clear enough area you can use isFlatEmpty

_candidate_fnc = {
_goodPos = nil;
_dis = 4500;
_cooX = (getPos makemarker select 0);
_cooY = (getPos makemarker select 1);
_wheX = random (_dis*2)-_dis;
_wheY = random (_dis*2)-_dis;
_TskmarkerRandomPos = [_cooX+_wheX,_cooY+_wheY,0];
_newPos = _TskmarkerRandomPos isFlatEmpty [20,50,0.7,2,0,false,player]; //isFlatEmpty when given position _newPos should return a flat and empty area close by if it can. If it cannot it returns an empty variable presumably. You may want to alter the values inside the square brackets.
while {(count _newPos) < 1} do {//Loop the following code so long as isFlatEmpty cannot find a valid position near the current _TskmarkerRandomPos.
	_newPos = _TskmarkerRandomPos isFlatEmpty [27,384,0.7,2,0,false,player];
	//hint "searching suitable pos for checkpoint";
	sleep 2.4;
};
_marker2 = createMarkerLocal ["checkpointmkr", _newPos];
_marker2 setMarkerShapeLocal "ELLIPSE";
"checkpointmkr" setMarkerSizeLocal [1, 1];
"checkpointmkr" setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON";
"checkpointmkr" setMarkerTypeLocal "EMPTY";

_sudoNewPos = [ getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 0, ( getMarkerPos "checkpointmkr" select 1)];

_goodPos = _sudoNewPos;

//deleteMarkerLocal "checkpointmkr";	
};

while {sleep 0.2; isNil "_goodPos"} do 
{
call _candidate_fnc;
sleep 2.4;
};

Just change the first parameter of isFlatEmpty from 20 to however large an area you need.

makemarker is a invisible helipad located in the center of the map.

This will search up to 4500 meters away from that logic.

@Harzach I have been working on this script/misson for a long time! I no clue what I am doing when it comes down to any real scripting a lot of trial and error on my part lol but the mission is shaping up very well I must say. If you ever want to help test play and see what I going on just look for my host server Avibird-PC

@Jigsor the compositions are not placed down via editor the FOB's can be build any where the commanders want dynamically during the mission.

[Jigsor 175]

Right, I understand how the compositions are made via script. I was referring to an central object used as a logic placed on the map in the editor.

Here is an example of a working script I have That does exactly what you are trying to do. Its in my mission Over_The_Reich

Its got some extra stuff in there as this is actually a script for an objective. It basically spawns a Checkpoint composition on a road and detects when its vehicles are destroyed.
