Need help editing a script

rossco5378 · January 30, 2015

Hello,

I have asked on the epochforums but no one seems to want to help me. I'm trying to get a merlin to go from cherno > klen > bash > stary and back to cherno again in a loop sort of like a taxi. I want the heli to land for 1 minute and let people in and out before it takes off again to the next way point. This is for an epoch server.

Server file below:

sleep 3;
};

This script is based off this project "andgregor - dayZ-AI-Bus-Route"

Any help with this whatsoever would be much appreciated!

You say it started as a bus script rather than a helicopter script.

1. Switch back to buses. Have the bus go from A to B then to C and end the script there

2. Once that is working, have the bus go from A to B to C to D to E.

3. Once that is working switch back to a helicopter. Like 1 above, have the helicopter from A to B to C

4. Once that is working like 2 above have the helicopter go from A to B to C to D to E.

Then you can work out exactly where the problem is.

Thanks for the reply. The helis go to the way points fine when the setwaypointType is MOVE but then they don't land. This is the issue. I want them to land, Stay on the ground for 1 minute so players can get in/out and then continue to the next waypoint. I know this is possible because i played on a server a year ago using this exact script. But obviously it was edited.

Any help?

Thanks.

You will need to use the WaypointStatements

wpname  setWaypointStatements ["true", "vehicle this land 'land'"];

that will have it land but then you need to keep it on the ground.

You need to create another waypoint right next to the landing waypoint move type will do and add these lines.

wpname setWaypointStatements ["!isengineon vehicle this", ""];
wpname setWaypointTimeout [60, 60, 60];

when the engine is turned off the timer will start, although if you know who is getting in the chopper you could count the units and only have it take off when they are all on board.

Ok this works fine however now the heli will not start and move to the next defined location

//Load Bus Route
_axWPZ=0;
_axeBusWPIndex = 2;
_axeBusFirstWayPoint = [7262.95,2993.65,_axWPZ];
_axeBusWP = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [_axeBusFirstWayPoint, _axeBusWPradius,_axeBusWPIndex];
_axeBusWP setWaypointStatements ["true", "_axeBus this land 'HeliH'"];
_axeBusRouteWaypoints = [[11509.3,11319.4,_axWPZ],[3999.16,11646,_axWPZ],[6222.05,7808.89,_axWPZ]];

{
_axeBusWPIndex=_axeBusWPIndex+1;
_axeBusWP = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [_axeBusFirstWayPoint, _axeBusWPradius,_axeBusWPIndex];
_axeBusWP setWaypointStatements ["!isengineon _axeBus this", ""];
_axeBusWP setWaypointTimeout [60, 60, 60];
diag_log format ["BUS:Waypoint Added: %2 at %1",_axeBusFirstWayPoint,_axeBusWP];
} forEach _axeBusRouteWaypoints;

//Create Loop Waypoint
_axeBusWP = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [_axeBusFirstWayPoint, _axeBusWPradius,_axeBusWPIndex+1];
_axeBusWP setWaypointType "CYCLE";

Any ideas?

you can't use _axeBus in a wp statement as it's local to the script, did you try it exactly as I wrote it _axeBusWP setWaypointStatements ["!isengineon vehicle this", ""];

Yes, Same issue, It wouldn't take off to the next waypoint.

I suspect it's in the way your using the waypoints, maybe the indexing.

I just made a test mission using editor placed heli and markers for waypoint locations and it works fine. It lands, holds for 60 seconds then takes off.

      _axeBusGroup = _this select 0;

      _axeBusWP0 = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "mk0", 10];
      _axeBusWP0	setWaypointType "move";

       _axeBusWP1 = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "mk1", 10];
_axeBusWP1 setWaypointType "move";
_axeBusWP1 setWaypointStatements ["true", "vehicle this land 'HeliH'"];

_axeBusWP2 = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "mk2", 10];
_axeBusWP2 setWaypointType "move";
_axeBusWP2 setWaypointStatements ["!isengineon vehicle this;", ""];
_axeBusWP2 setWaypointTimeout [60, 60, 60];	

      _axeBusWP3 = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "mk3", 10];
      _axeBusWP3 setWaypointType "move";

      _axeBusWP3 = _axeBusGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "mk4", 10];
      _axeBusWP3 setWaypointType "cycle";

Okay i get where you're coming from but how do i implement this into the script. Could you put this into my code in the post above?

It's a bit beyond my understanding I can't get my head around the indexing that's being used.

Sorry if this is being a bit confusing, What I'm trying to achieve is this:

https://github.com/andgregor/dayZ-AI-Bus-Route

But with a heli.

Maybe this will help ;p

Any help with getting this script converted to work with helis?
