So for player 1 i will need to add a name to player 1, and same for player 2 for the code to specify whos to spawn and to whom correct? Then for player 2 there the newpos is where player 1 will spawn at a random marker of course and then once hes spawn player 2 will be "moved" or spawned to that same marker as player 1 or is player 2 spawned at same time as in you and your buddy both start or appear at the same spot?

If so then it should just run through the init in sequence, setting the first player to random marker x, then moving player 2 beside him, then player 3 and so on. and as Vandeanson pointed out only run this once (or from 1 player). It may need tweaked depending on mission set up but the commands should be right ;) also if you have more than 2 players then you would want to change the offset in "modelToWorld [1,-2,0];" for each extra player so they don't all spawn IN each other (freaky) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damsous 329 Posted March 10, 2018 4 hours ago, Gunter Severloh said: Hey guys a question, Working on a coop mission for my server for ravage, now what im trying to do is have it where 2 or more players spawn together at a random location when the mission starts. This is what i use for 1 player currently, i have the following code in the player's init box: this setpos (getMarkerPos (selectRandom ["m1","m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6", "m7", "m8", "m9","m10", "m11", "m12","m13","m14", "m15", "m16", "m17","m18","m19", "m20", "m21", "m22", "m23", "m24", "m25", "m26", "m27", "m28", "m29","m30","m31","m32","m33","m34","m35"])); Each m stands for marker, and the number is just the number of the marker, i have 35 of them. So i have 35 markers spaced, and spread out all over the map, and when the mission starts the player will spawn at any of the markers but just one marker, so again question is how do i do the same thing but for 2 or more players, spawning them together at the same marker? Lastly after both players have spawned i want all the markers in the code to be deleted as currently when i spawn and have a map i see all the markers on the map, can anyone clear this up for me on how to do these 2 things? Or you can do something like this its tinkering but that should work Use this init only for player1 this setpos (getMarkerPos (selectRandom ["m1","m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6", "m7", "m8", "m9","m10", "m11", "m12","m13","m14", "m15", "m16", "m17","m18","m19", "m20", "m21", "m22", "m23", "m24", "m25", "m26", "m27", "m28", "m29","m30","m31","m32","m33","m34","m35"])); and create and stick an empty marker on player1 in the player1 init. (p1 is player1 variable name) and for the other player use only "mp1" as starting location, like this every player will spawn on player1 and it will be JIP compatible if some player are late.... so the init line of your player1 (the hero) should be like this : this setpos (getMarkerPos (selectRandom ["m1","m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6", "m7", "m8", "m9","m10", "m11", "m12","m13","m14", "m15", "m16", "m17","m18","m19", "m20", "m21", "m22", "m23", "m24", "m25", "m26", "m27", "m28", "m29","m30","m31","m32","m33","m34","m35"])); this = createMarker ["mp1", [500,500]]; "mp1" setMarkerType "mil_warning"; [] spawn { while{not isnull p1} do {"mp1" setmarkerpos getpos p1; sleep 1;}; }; So i use mil_warning for see the marker, if everything work just replace this line : "mp1" setMarkerType "mil_warning"; by "mp1" setMarkerType "Empty"; 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should be able to use the Empty Marker so they don't show on the map but player can still spawn at the locations. Also you probably already know this but by right clicking the marker you can choose random start position and sync it to whatever you want 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbojones 2 Posted March 11, 2018 It was previously mentioned that the ravage bandit camp script doesn't work right, ainjust stand there and do not engage on dedicated server. Looks like the vehicle patrols are doing the same thing. Does anyone know if this was broken by an ArmA issue or asomething with Ravage? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works np, thanks guys for your help! Now another question is, is an idea i have to make this starting spawn a little more interesting then just randomly appearing in the middle of nowhere, i want to give the player a small story so that when they (the player and another or more) do spawn it gives them a reason. Heres what i have in mind basically same as is, but the player and (friend if you will) spawn wherever in a vehicle out of gas, So the question is how do i spawn the player as the driver, with his buddy in the vehicle randomly like before? From the Ravage wiki seen on this page here ----> http://ravage.wikia.com/wiki/Tools_for_Mission_Makers I had updated and added more details to the Bandit Camps in terms of how to set it up. A question i had for the ingame aspect of itself is, can we add an actual tent/buildings, ammo box, sleeping bags etc or something to spice that up a little as its just a handful of bandits standing around a fire currently? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should note something. All of my sandbox missions are MP... but not exactly set up specifically for dedicated servers. They are set up for players to locally host games for their friends to play. There are no friendly roaming AI's in my missions. It's exclusively hostile in the world. The only way you have a friendly, is if you are playing with an actual person. I have never ran Ravage on a dedicated server, so that could be a reason why I'm not having the same experience as others. @damsous I have seen AI vehicle patrols run into objects in the road like wrecked vehicles, etc. This causes the AI to stop sometimes on the road. However... while playing my Rambo: First Blood on Tanoa mission (using Ravage) just the other day on Tanoa I had an AI with a 50 cal on the back of a truck drive and chase me down a hill into a valley. I ran into the jungle to hide and the AI fired into the jungle at me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaijk 1 Posted March 12, 2018 Hello, I liked this mod but it doesent seem to work anymore for me. I used to play it 1 year ago. Now, with the latest version, and everything re-installed, i got this problem: zombies cant attack the player. They run towards you, swing once (doing no damage) and then stops and do nothing. Im pretty sure i have the latest version of arma, i updated everything through steam; and i run the 152 version of ravage. Other mods works fine, like rayan zombies, and the rest of the ravage mod, ai and loot, seems to work fine. Any help? Thanks in advance. (Sorry if this question has been asked before, but now the thread is 294 pages long and i cant read it all, if someone can point me in the right direction i would be thankful aswell). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4036 Posted March 12, 2018 Welcome to Bis forums and Ravage thread ninjaijk! From what i've been reading on the thread in the past week since the latest update this might be a new bug but cant say yet til Haleks looks into it confirms and or we get more people confirming the same issue. All i can tell you is just make sure you are running Ravage with CBA_A3 and keep an eye on the thread and wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans(z) 56 Posted March 14, 2018 Hi, how AI Ravage car patrol should work? For me it only stay at one place and doesn't move till someone shoot guner or gunner spots me and starts chasing me. All this action happens only with initiation from my side, they don't patrol by default. Another suggestion: after some time in game map is overpopulated with cars, it would be nice to have some limitation like car patrol should spawn only if in radius e.g. 1km is not another active car patrol. I think that despawning system doesn't work for carpatrols.... dead bodies are still there even if I go to opposite side of Map and go back. I don't have bad experience with zombies stops attacking so this work for me. BTW for mission makers: If you want to add some special weapons https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=973548592&searchtext= That crossbow is awesome!!!
