Setpos position?

[Norbak 10]

Can anyone tell me how to make something like this...(but working, not this):

_pos = player1;

_pos = player2;

_pos = player3;

object1 = setpos position player1;

object1 = setpos position player2;

object1 = setpos position player3;

only on a file like? :

Object1 = setpos position [player1,player2,player3]; //object at position p1 p2 p3 at same time??

thank you

Better to just describe what you want to happen. It seems that you want to create new objects at, or move existing objects to, multiple positions.

Let's suppose you have three objects (object1, object2, and object3), and three players (player1, player2, and player3). To move each object to its respective player (1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3), you want something like this:

private ["_object","_player"];

_object = [object1, object2, object3];
_player = [player1, player2, player3];

for "_i" from 0 to 2 do {
(_object select _i) setPos position (_player select _i);
};

Not tested. Also keep in mind that this moves the object to the player's exact position - you might want to offset it a little bit to avoid collision issues.

If you want to create new objects instead, you want something like this:

private ["_player","_name","_object"];

_player = [player1, player2, player3];

for "_i" from 0 to 1 do {
_name = "object" + str(_i + 1);		
   _object = "OBJECT_CLASS_NAME" createVehicle position (_player select _i);
_object setVehicleVarName _name;
};

Again, not tested. I think it might also be considered best practice to use createVehicle array instead of plain old createVehicle.

It's hard to say. I'd love to make the LK nuke script working on MP and so another players could see the nuke explosion and the rest of the effects.

It's insane. I'm very frustrated.

[Harzach 2518]

OK, that's entirely different, and involves multiplayer coding. I'm not familiar with the script you mention, and I am certainly no MP coding expert. Or any kind of coding expert, for that matter.

Place an ammo box on the map and name it box1. Give the box a placement radius of 500 meters.

Place a soldier on the map and name him blue1.

In the init of the soldier write this...........blue1 setpos (getpos box1);

When you start the mission the box will start in a 500m radius - and the soldier will always start standing on the box.

==============================================================================

In your case you seem to want to place the soldier and have the box start where the soldier is. In which case you reverse the order of the code:

box1 setpos (getpos blue1);

The LK Nuke seems to work fine in MP, as it is included in GITS Evolution and other MP missions. Maybe grab GITS Evo and see how they accomplished it?

[Norbak 10]

That's a nice idea. I'll give a look. Thanks man.

Damn. I can't open that .PBO with PBO View.

[Harzach 2518]

Use CPBO or Eliteness.

[Norbak 10]

They don't work for me :/

[Harzach 2518]

Something wrong on your end, then. Check your PMs.

[Norbak 10]

That nuke in GITS doesn't work for me.

LK really does in MP but only Radzone with Radiation marker, not the nuke,ash and envi effects.

[Harzach 2518]

You need to sort through everything in the "nuke" folder for all items that need to be defined elsewhere - for example, CfgSounds in description.ext. Alternately, look through all init/description/defines/etc files for anything pertaining to LK Nuke effects. It isn't going to be easy.

[Norbak 10]

Ok. Changing markers is easy. Createmarkerlocal => createmarker. It's done. Now everybody can see te radiation zone with MP damage.

Sounds are easy aswell. I used SAY command at every player,so they can hear the sound when it explodes. Another way could be place the SAY3D at the point of explotion but the noise isn't that heavy,especially from 1000 meters away...

Nuke ,envi and ash is harder.
