cowboymiller 1 Posted October 14, 2014 Hey guys, having some trouble and thought i would reach out rather than pull my hair out. It may seem simple to some so please refrain from the hating. Im trying to create a Stayzone if you will using scripts. NOT in the mission editor. Where i place a marker, and the players MUST stay with in the marker area. if they venture out of the marker area, a timer is displayed of a given amount that they can return into the marker area with out being hurt or killed. Yes i can easily do this with the mission editor, markers and triggers, however im wanting to make it an exScript instead. THAT is where im having trouble. and yes ive researched it thru and thru and always get pointed back to "use the int line" in the mission editor. NOT what im looking for. Just a little direction in the script department WITH OUT using the editor. Thanks in advance for all the useful info!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted October 14, 2014 Could probably use something with BIS_fnc_triggerToMarker and then just add in all the trigger statements needed for it with setTriggerStatements , setTriggerActivation, and setTriggerArea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kushluk 21 Posted October 14, 2014 If the marker is circular, you can simply check the distance from each player to the center. _markerRadius = 500; while { sleep 1; (player distance (markerPos "MYMARKERNAME")) > _markerRadius } do { hint "CURRENTLY OUT OF BOUNDS"; sleep 1; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboymiller 1 Posted October 14, 2014 Kusluk, i like this idea. i was leaning towards an oval marker BUT never thought of a greater than less than. i can make it round then really dont even need a marker. just a pos. i was using the marker for more of a defined area visually, but i can easly say "say stay on this island" lol. it is MP however, so how could i check it against the player that has moved beyond the dis?

Von Quest 1163 Posted October 14, 2014 Or just use any object as the center. Does not need to be a marker, per se. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you have more context? Several ways to tackle this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboymiller 1 Posted October 14, 2014 Let's say I've ported over the cherno map and want to restrict the players to the skalisty island. I don't want any players leaving the island. Maybe in a prison island setting. Ideally I would love to just place walls all the way around the island. But that's too tedious. Lol. But I don't want them to be able to slip off the island and swim to the main land. Let's pretend im limited on the bis functions I can use as well. Hope that's enough context. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1163 Posted October 14, 2014 Cool. You can copy & paste those walls if you need them. Just do a few, then select them all. Copy/Paste. Select them all again, copy/paste, etc. Also there is spotlight script you can use too. Be kinda cool to have an old spotlight beam on the player trying to make an escape...

cowboymiller 1 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Ill give this a shot, however i am limited on the BIS_fn that i can use. Ill explain later once i get something working. the above script looks good however it is using a lot of the BIS_fns thanks again though!!
