Sector Handling via Script - BIS_fnc_moduleSector

[m1ndgames 10]

Hi,

is it possible to create and modify the sectors using only script? The Idea is to have more flexibillity when initializing the Sector locations.

I'm trying it like this, using BIS_fnc_moduleSector:

// Create Tickets
[bLUFOR, 1000] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets;
[OPFOR, 1000] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets;
[iNDEPENDENT, 1000] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets;

// Bleed System
[[bLUFOR,OPFOR,INDEPENDENT], 0.6, 10, 10] call BIS_fnc_bleedTickets;

// Create Sectors
[sector_a] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;
[sector_a,BLUFOR] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;

[sector_b] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;
[sector_b,OPFOR] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;

[sector_c] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;
[sector_c,INDEPENDENT] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;

[sector_d] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;

In the editor i would now link an area to the sector, and add a Trigger to the Area to define the Zone. How can/should i progress using only script?

I couldnt find a way to modify the sectors, so i created a workaround by moving the Trigger to which the Area Module is attached to.

But i have issues with removing a value from an array, error:

20:12:59 Error in expression <m_Sector_B_C = _Random_Template_Sectors - location_blufor;

location_opfor = _R>

20:12:59 Error position: <- location_blufor;

How can/should i progress using only script?

If you read BIS_fnc_moduleSector starting at around line 420 there is a list of variables that the logic retrieves each cycle that you can change. The module also tracks the trigger position. Reading down to about line 800 should give you a good idea what is tracked/re-calculated each cycle.

But i have issues with removing a value from an array, error:

You are going one level to deep i think....

Hi, thanks for your reply! :)

I changed a lot, this is an early (but working) version:

WarZones_Template_Sectors.hpp

_Templates_Sector = [
[
	[23225,18440],[23277,18456],[23265,18405]
],
[
	[23525,21121],[25241,21830],[25433,20342]
]
];

WarZones_Sectors.sqf

// Load Sector Templates
#include "WarZones_Template_Sectors.hpp";

// Get a Random Template from the Array
_Random_Sectors = _Templates_Sector call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

// Shuffle the Sector Positions
_Shuffled_Sectors = _Random_Sectors call BIS_fnc_arrayShuffle;

// BLUFOR Sector
_location_blufor = _Shuffled_Sectors select 0;

// OPFOR Sector
_location_opfor = _Shuffled_Sectors select 1;

// Independent Sector
_location_independent = _Shuffled_Sectors select 2;

// Define x/y
_location_blufor_x = _location_blufor select 0;
_location_blufor_y = _location_blufor select 1;

_location_opfor_x = _location_opfor select 0;
_location_opfor_y = _location_opfor select 1;

_location_independent_x = _location_independent select 0;
_location_independent_y = _location_independent select 1;

// Create Bases
_base_blufor = [_location_blufor_x,_location_blufor_y] execVM "WarZones_Sectors_BLUFOR.sqf";
waitUntil {isNull _base_blufor};

_base_opfor = [_location_opfor_x,_location_opfor_y] execVM "WarZones_Sectors_OPFOR.sqf";
waitUntil {isNull _base_opfor};

_base_independent = [_location_independent_x,_location_independent_y] execVM "WarZones_Sectors_INDEPENDENT.sqf";
waitUntil {isNull _base_independent};
