@haleks a couple of requests for the new version if not too late?

1) A blackmark area for vehicles to spawn.
2) Potential for boats/helicopters to spawn.

I know Haleks listed how to do it on an earlier page in this thread, but how exactly do you make it so that you randomly spawn in multiplayer? Specifically how do you make it so that you "wake up" from a randomly generated car crash?

You should put down some wrecks or locked vehicles manually and place the spawn/respawn points next tho them - easiest way to achieve what you want. Next you should use this code: player switchmove "Acts_UnconsciousStandUp_Part1" . Run it from onPlayerRespawn.sqf or something. You can also google up some blur effect if you want.

At the moment I just have a few spawn points down that have a 50% chance of spawning, but I wish I could make it so the spawn is completely random.

Personally i use SHK Pos, so i never respawn on the same location. I think with scripting you could get what you want by creating wrecks when a player respawns and either removing after X minutes or by checking distance between player and wreck so it would disappear when its out of visibility (maybe?)

Ah ok, thanks. Does seem simple enough. Now, what about "probability of presence"? For some reason, it doesn't work on BLUFOR units I have placed down in my mission; the BLUFOR units always spawn, no matter what. For the record, the units in question are set to "playable".

[FireWalker 329]

I think for playable units, you can check "disableAI" box in the settings.

 

Or, alternatively:

 

disabledAI = 1;    in your description.ext file

 

And should fix the problem, although I don't think the probability of presence slider will work, but they won't spawn. I'm really not sure that the probability slider works at all for playable units.

That's it.

 

I have never tried using PoP on playable units, so i never encountered such a problem. At least we know that it doesn't work with playable units.

Found a bug just now,

I don't know if it is Arma or Ravage, but i killed a zombie while he was climbing a ladder and when i climbed down i died, i could hear a zombie hitting sound, but only once, then i saw that other zombies that tried to climb up/down also died. The same happened yesterday.

[FireWalker 329]

Stupid undead zombies...   

 

Actually, I've had that happen in staircases on Chernarus also. Fire station to be exact.

It's a shame that it doesn't work on playable units, but thanks regardless.

@ArteyFlo

 

What exactly are you trying to do?  Not have playable units spawn as AI, or just have them spawn as AI randomly?

[UnDeaD. 82]

I've got 2 questions:

 

1.

Is there any way to restrict the loot spawn module to spawn loot in an area?

I'm using Xcinos' Oil Rig and Sea Fortress, but loot seems to bug through the floor + eat FPS.

 

2.

I'm pretty sure this was asked a few times before, but how do i put traders manually? I mean what code should i use? I would like to put them in the locations mentioned above.

[FireWalker 329]

this setVariable ["istrader", selectRandom ["rvg_supplies_s", "rvg_arms_s"], true];

 

 

I believe all you have to do is place the code above in the units init. You can remove the select random portion if needed.

 

You may also add:     disableAI "move";     to the init also.

 

If I have this wrong, I'm certain someone else will chime in. I'm not at home right now.

 

 

For general supplies: this setVariable ["isTrader", "rvg_supplies_s", true]

 

For weapons and ammo: this setVariable ["isTrader", "rvg_arms_s", true]

 

You can also search this thread for   "  isTrader  "

Fast response, many thanks! 

Gonna try it soon.

 

Edit1: Doesn't seem to work, searched the topic and everywhere is written like you said. Strange..

Tried with and without the Ravage modules placed down, but no action is appearing..

Edit2: Seems like it works with selectrandom

Edit3: Managed to get it working

 

One more thing!

 

(haven't used traders till now) Where can i see my money? 

Edit4: Nevermind, figured it out 

[nelo_riot 8]

@haleks I want to extend your shop system to make actual merchants on foot selling a variety of stuff GUI included strictly for ravage.

Can I use your Buy/Sell/SellMenu/BuyMenu sqf's to be a foundation for this?

It would be more for personal use within the clan but if you want to use it, or want it open to the public its fine by me :)

With your blessing I will name it 'Ravage Merchant Extension' all credits will go to you.

[haleks 8212]

@nelo_riot : no problem mate; I'll be glad to see what you come up with. ;)

[nelo_riot 8]

@haleks Thanks!

May need to pm you with some questions over time, hope that not is not a problem ;)

@Haleks WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[FireWalker 329]

@Haleks,

 

Awesom update!!

 

Otherwise, I totally keep forgetting to ask you about Tanoa:  I never see any damn bunny rabbits on that map. Is that the map itself? Or Ravage?

 

Thanks for the update,

Fire

Come to think of it, i've never seen any rabbits on Tanoa either, the map configs are still in EBO format so unable to check to be 100% certain.

Adding rabbits to Tanoa is fairly easy to do if there is appetite for them.

 

Thanks for the update haleks!! 

 

[FireWalker 329]

Lol, Yeah eveytime I play, I'm like where are all the damn rabbits. Food isn't the easiest thing to come by in my mission. Then I think to myself that I really need to script in a bunny population, then I forget after I'm done playing...  lather, rinse, repeat.

[EO 11277]

I think it's fair to say most end-users don't have the luxury of using/adding scripts for extra content, much better to produce a mod, even better to add it to Ravage.
