safe zone + player protection and objectsMapper questions.

1. I am using a "safe zone" script to prevent TK'ing at base AND trying to protect players from AI that may wonder in the base. However this script is not working anymore. Ideas?

Am using basic trigger with blufor present and this as condition;

{if(side _x == independent) || (side _x == east) then {_x setDamage ((damage _x) + 0.1)};} forEach thisList;

18:04:54 Error in expression <_x == independent) || (side _x == east) then {_x setDamage ((damage _x) + 0.1)};>
18:04:54   Error position: <then {_x setDamage ((damage _x) + 0.1)};>
18:04:54   Error then: Type Bool, expected if

2. attempting to spawn this to _officer1 but keeps coming back with generic error;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (>
17:51:45   Error position: <[(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (>
17:51:45   Error Generic error in expression

1. try:

if ( (side _x == independent) || (side _x == east) ) then...........

I'm wondering the lack of extra brackets around the condition is stuffing it up

this && ({side _x isEqualTo EAST || side _x isEqualTo INDEPENDENT} count thisList > 0)

Your set damage portion would go in onAct:

{_x setDamage ((damage _x) + 0.1)} forEach thisList;

1. Solved. Thanks again JShock.

Anyone have ideas for #2. I tried removing the 0 = and still dumb generic error.

2. attempting to spawn this to _officer1 but keeps coming back with generic error;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (>
17:51:45   Error position: <[(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (>
17:51:45   Error Generic error in expression

That means that _officer1 is not defined. If you have a unit in the editor named "officer1" then remove the underscore in the script. Else, define the variable before using it.

Here is the script. :confused:

// spawn target
_off = createGroup EAST;
_officer1 = _off createUnit ["O_officer_F",[((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 150), getmarkerpos "side_area" select 1,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_officer1 setUnitPos "middle";
_officer1 setDir 45;
_officer2 = _off createUnit ["O_G_officer_F",[((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 154), getmarkerpos "side_area" select 1,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_officer2 setUnitPos "middle";
_officer2 setDir 90;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

Try putting the same parenthesis structure around the "y" position like you have with the "x" position when spawning the unit:

getmarkerpos "side_area" select 1

((getmarkerpos "side_area") select 1)

No luck! this error is crazy! or may be I am!

ok, since this is not my skill set. I am wondering if I could try another method to this madness. I will try this when I get home, just like other opinions.

The below link says:

"_this select 0: position of the template - Array [X, Y, Z]"

So I am to presume that I could do something similar to 

[((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 150), ((getmarkerpos "side_area") select 1),0]

BUT for this

0 = [((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 150), ((getmarkerpos "side_area") select 1),0], random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper

What does your Rebelcamp1.sqf look like? I have setup my own composition and used your script only changing the composition file contents for my own at it works without errors.

The code i used as shown in one of your previous posts.

// spawn target
_off = createGroup EAST;
_officer1 = _off createUnit ["O_officer_F",[((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 150), getmarkerpos "side_area" select 1,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_officer1 setUnitPos "middle";
_officer1 setDir 45;
_officer2 = _off createUnit ["O_G_officer_F",[((getmarkerpos "side_area" select 0) + 154), getmarkerpos "side_area" select 1,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_officer2 setUnitPos "middle";
_officer2 setDir 90;

0 = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

that's interesting, I wonder, to my knowledge (memory banks) it doesn't have anything crazy. I will try another composition. Thanks for this information.

Remove the "_Rebelcamp1 =". I think that's the problem.

Or return it:

The objectsMapper function returns an array of the spawned objects so that should be pretty simple :D.

Ok, I am already using a garbage cleaner script AND 

// remove mans/vehicles/air/static "optional"
sleep 30;
{if (!(isplayer _x)) then {deleteVehicle _x;};} foreach nearestobjects [_sidepos,[
   "air","StaticWeapon","Landvehicle"
   ],2000]; 
sleep 10;
{if (!(isplayer _x)) then {deleteVehicle _x;};} foreach nearestobjects [_sidepos,[
   "man"
   ],2000]; 

sleep 5;

Could you point me in the direction of what else I may need to depose of these compositions?

Or could I just add more to the above array to include those empty objects?

What I was getting at was more of this:

_compositionSpawnedObjects = [(getPos _officer1), random(359), call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "compositions\Rebelcamp1.sqf"))] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

//after task completed or whatever

{
   deleteVehicle _x;
} forEach _compositionSpawnedObjects;
