tortuosit 486 Posted October 15, 2016 i cannot seem to figure out how to get all spawned dac groups to converge on one spot? here is my master zone: fun=["z1",[1,0,0],[2,2,10,1],[],[],[],[0,0,0,0,1]] spawn DAC_Zone and here are my other zones for an example: fun=["z5",[1,0,0],[2,2,10,1],[],[],[],[0,0,0,1,1]] spawn DAC_Zone what do i have to change to get all my zones to attack my position on the map? this is a wave attack mission on a base. You have to force them to leave their spawning zone. Last arg in second array = 0 instead of 1.fun=["z1",[1,0,0],[2,2,10,0],[],[],[],[0,0,0,0,1]] spawn DAC_Zone You need to offer them zones where they can go. -> You can make the other zones as waypoint zones only, i.e. no spawns in there, like: fun=["z5",[1,0,0],[20],[],[],[],[0,0,0,1,1]] spawn DAC_Zone BTW, related: I wrote a script for myself where a zone follows the player, you can put the code into editor modules. It's nice for helicopter aproaching player sometimes... comment "zone, [sizemin, sizemax], [changeMinutes,sizeFactor,sizeFactorAfterMinutes], [probDo, probOff, probWayOff(if Off)]"; 0 = [z4, [1500, 2500], [5, 0.5, 30], [0.9, 0.6, 0.3]] spawn { private ["_pos","_dir","_dist","_overland", "_min", "_max", "_size1", "_size2", "_sleep", "_factor", "_currentFactor", "_shrinkTime"]; tortdoit = true; _sleep = (_this select 2 select 0) * 60; _shrinkTime = (_this select 2 select 2) * 60; _factor = 1 - (_this select 2 select 1); sleep (random [0.75 * _sleep, _sleep, _sleep]); _min = _this select 1 select 0; _max = _this select 1 select 1; if (_min == 0) then {_min = 0.05 * worldsize}; if (_max == 0) then {_max = 0.1 * worldsize}; while{tortdoit} do { _overland=false; _pos = position player; if((random 1)<(_this select 3 select 0)) then { _currentFactor = 1 - _factor*((time min _shrinkTime)/_shrinkTime); _size1 = (_min + random(_max - _min)) * _currentFactor; _size2 = (_min + random(_max - _min)) * _currentFactor; if((random 1)<(_this select 3 select 1)) then { if((random 1)>(_this select 3 select 2)) then { _dir = random 360; _dist = random [0,_min,_max]; _pos = [(_pos select 0) + cos _dir * _dist, (_pos select 1) - sin _dir * _dist, 0]; } else { while {!_overland} do { _pos = [random worldsize, random worldsize, 0]; _overland = !(_pos isFlatEmpty [-1, -1, -1, -1, 0, false] isEqualTo []); sleep 0.02; }; }; } else { _pos = position player; }; [_this select 0, _pos, [_size1, _size2, random 360],0,0,0] call DAC_fChangeZone; }; sleep (random [0.75 * _sleep, _sleep, 2 * _sleep]); }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortuosit 486 Posted October 19, 2016 I'm having a hard time with creation and changing of zone mid mission. DAC is loaded via mod and of course dac_intern is placed.1. I have placed a game logic, which basically does this mid game, creation of zone: _zoneDetails = ["z1",[1,0,0],[5,1,100,20],[],[],[],[0,0,0,0]]; [_pos, _size1, _size2, 0, random 360, _zoneDetails] call DAC_fNewZone; - Nothing happens if I did not spawn another zone via a trigger in editor before. Also, my script does not continue, like as if the call DAC_fnewzone does not return...2. If I spawned a zone before, it is also able to create one mid game. So after it created the above z1 zone midgame, I cannot change the z1 zone by any means. It always complains: Error dac_change_zone: No valid zone. [z1, _pos, [_size1, _size2, random 360],0,0,0] call DAC_fChangeZone; z1 (object?) and "z1" string may be a thing here, but I think I tried all possibilities.Any ideas?

tortuosit 486 Posted October 19, 2016 OK, I made it working, but it is necessary to spawn at least a deactivated waypoint zone via the normal trigger mechanism. This is how I spawn a zone, which creates infantry and follows player... more or less. 0 = [[1,0,0], [round(5 + random 2),1,100,20], [], [], [], [0,0,0,0]] spawn { private _zoneMinSize = 2000; private _zoneMaxSize = 4000; private _sleepMinutes = 5; private _shrinkTimeMinutes = 60; private _shrinkFactor = 1; private _zoneChangeProb = 0.95; private _zoneOffProb = 0.5; private _zoneWayOffProb = 0.1; if (_zoneMinSize == 0) then {_zoneMinSize = 0.05 * worldsize}; if (_zoneMaxSize == 0) then {_zoneMaxSize = 0.1 * worldsize}; private ["_pos","_dir","_dist","_overland", "_size1", "_size2", "_currentFactor"]; private _zoneDetails = ["fzone47", _this select 0, _this select 1, _this select 2, _this select 3, _this select 4, _this select 5]; sleep (random [30, 30, 90]); _shrinkFactor = 1 - _shrinkFactor; private _init = true; tortdoit = true; waituntil {alive player}; while{tortdoit} do { _overland=false; _pos = position player; if((random 1) < _zoneChangeProb) then { _currentFactor = 1 - _shrinkFactor *((time min (60*_shrinkTimeMinutes))/(60*_shrinkTimeMinutes)); _size1 = (_zoneMinSize + random(_zoneMaxSize - _zoneMinSize)) * _currentFactor; _size2 = (_zoneMinSize + random(_zoneMaxSize - _zoneMinSize)) * _currentFactor; if((random 1) < _zoneOffProb) then { if (((random 1) > _zoneWayOffProb) || _init) then { if ((random 1) < 0.45) then { _dir = random 360; } else { _dir = ([0,0,0] getdir (getCameraViewDirection player)); }; _dist = random [0, _zoneMinSize, _zoneMaxSize]; _pos = [(_pos select 0) + cos _dir * _dist, (_pos select 1) - sin _dir * _dist, 0]; } else { while {!_overland} do { _pos = [random worldsize, random worldsize, 0]; _overland = !(_pos isFlatEmpty [-1, -1, -1, -1, 0, false] isEqualTo []); sleep 0.02; }; }; } else { _pos = position player; }; if (_init) then { _init = false; [_pos, _size1, _size2, 0, random 360, _zoneDetails] call DAC_fNewZone; } else { [fzone47, _pos, [_size1, _size2, random 360],0,0,0] call DAC_fChangeZone; }; }; sleep (random [_sleepMinutes * 45, _sleepMinutes * 60, _sleepMinutes * 75]); }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you will activate this option (true), so you can make the DAC initializing by the DAC Logic only. This option is needed only if you want to become DAC zones created while a running mission, or if you want to generate objects only. Silola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortuosit 486 Posted October 20, 2016 DAC_Direct_Start = true; works Now I am having another problem. I have markers turned on. Let's say 9 groups spawn. Very quickly, groups disappear again...

I think u can use 1-10 ... so for example "DAC_Marker = 3" or "DAC_Marker = 5" With some settings u can see marker for each unit and not only for each group. The group reduce function don't delete the leader of the group, so maybe u make any other mistake. One reason could be, if the "_setJoin" Value (within DAC_Config_Behaviour) is to high, some groups will join other groups and then the old group is deleted ... incl. the respective marker. The same can happen if u create many small DAC groups (2-3 units per group, for example), then the probability is very high that the small groups joins larger groups. I think that's your problem. Try to disable this function by setting this value to 0 >>>> _setJoin = 0; The DAC readme says: This parameter determines, from which groupsize a group dissolves and joins the nearest group. This behavior can lead to a respawn of a new group when a camp is available. Silola 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neviothr 102 Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Yes. I posted the solution here in this thread in September, some array thing in config.cpp, please look, I am on a smartphone. But you have to depbo yourself. Maybe Silola should have a look. Thanks, you'll look for your post. Edit: Found it, thanks again! The DAC mod throws an error message at mission start, in latest DEV build... something like "[] - config.bin\cfgpatches\dacSource: Not an array"... Not exactly sure if it's solved, but I think so. I removed name = "DAC_Source.pbo"; mail = "silola@freenet.de";from dac_source.pbo\config.cpp and now the error is gone... Maybe some attribute is not working any more... And for Silola: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgPatches Edit #2: Tortuosit's solution didn't work, what did, though, is changing the CfgPatches section inside config.cpp to look like so: class CfgPatches { class DAC_Source { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F"}; requiredVersion = 0.1; author = "Silola"; }; }; I think the problem was with the author line.

tortuosit 486 Posted October 29, 2016 Yeah, can't remember what I changed, because I changed another mod as well; one had multiple authors, which did not work. Here in DAC the cfgpatches in config.cpp I use is like this: class CfgPatches { class DAC_Source { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; name = "DAC_Source.pbo"; mail = "silola@freenet.de"; requiredAddons[]= { "A3_Data_F","A3_Misc_F","A3_Structures_F","A3_Plants_F_Bush","A3_Roads_F","A3_Rocks_F","A3_Signs_F", "A3_Soft_F","A3_Structures_F_Wrecks","A3_Structures_F_Mil","A3_Structures_F_Ind","A3_Structures_F_Households" }; requiredVersion=0.1; versionStr = "3.1"; versionAr[] = {3,1}; author = "Silola"; }; }; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
