redarmy 420 Posted October 22, 2015 Ok let me best try to explain this, because the question is harder to explain than the awnser im guessing.Im searching the forums but as said i dont know what to ask to describe the effect im looking for. It should be simple so if anyone can help out,appreciated. I am creating a simple tent/fire/table/chair and a group of AI with BIS function task defend. I want all these objects and units to spawn on the map BUT with a random placement radius.So if in the editor i spawn them on Molos runway in Altis and set a placement radius of 2000M they might end up spawning in Molos town...the problem is i want them to spawn together as i set them down in the editor,such as the chair next to the fire...temt behind that etc.. Im guessing its like grouping them together but obviosly not that simple. Anyone know how to achieve this effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted October 22, 2015 Having made your set of objects in the editor, you would define one of them as the "keystone" and then log the relative position and the classnames of all the other objects to the rpt file. From this you can then extract the data from the rpt and create an nested array of all the objects, both their classname and relative position. In your script you then setpos your "keystone" object to the relative position. You then createvehicle the rest of the objects to their relative position from the "keystone". Here is code I use this system on to create a copies of a scenario. You should be able to extract the relevant info from it. // AUTHOR : Terox (terox_@hotmail.com) // MP MACHINE : SERVER // Called from : PV eventhandler // Called using : _a spawn Tx_RNG_fActivate_Units // Time Called : Via addaction on switch 3 // Description : Creates units in randonly selected places relative to the keystone // Allows for creating the alpha range and then copy pasting, so that unit placement in other ranges is relative to their keystone // COMMENTS : This is a scenario, players find a friendly wounded unit, what do they do private ["_keystone", "_doors", "_keystoneDIR", "_u", "_uARR", "_MaxU", "_leaderPosARR", "_uPosARR", "_getUARR", "_ARR", "_casPOS", "_classWU", "_uPos"," _grp", "_uDIR", "_uStance", "_u", "_side","_classCO", "_classSL", "_classMG", "_classAT", "_classGR", "_classRF", "_classSN", "_classARR", "_counter"]; _keystone = _this select 0; _doors = _this select 2; _keystoneDIR = getdir _keystone; _u = objnull; _uARR = []; _MaxU = 6; _leaderPosARR = []; _uPosARR = []; _getUARR = _keystone getvariable "UnitARR"; if !(Isnil "_getUARR")then { {if !(Isnull _x)then{deletevehicle _x}}foreach _getUARR; }; // Array of Relative unit positions to the keystone _ARR = [ [ [-15.9551,206.377,-0.739075], 164.35 , "DOWN" ], [ [-12.8203,207.795,-0.739075], 166.148 , "DOWN" ], [ [-5.27148,205.031,-0.739075], 163.435 , "DOWN" ], [ [60.6621,205.158,-0.739075] , 189.433 , "DOWN" ], [ [63.5313,207.637,-0.739075] , 189.739 , "DOWN" ], [ [68.1113,207.059,-0.739075] , 190.525 , "DOWN" ], [ [70.8965,205.238,-0.739075] , 189.582 , "DOWN" ], [ [55.2695,270.979,-0.739075] , 181.371 , "DOWN" ], [ [52.418,272.703,-0.739075] , 185.177 , "DOWN" ], [ [47.6582,273.379,-0.739075] , 179.751 , "DOWN" ], [ [44.8633,271.148,-0.739075] , 184.007 , "DOWN" ], [ [11.8496,270.162,-0.739075] , 176.534 , "DOWN" ], [ [4.23047,272.811,-0.739075] , 172.511 , "DOWN" ], [ [1.38672,270.613,-0.739075] , 171.18 , "DOWN" ], [ [22.5586,304.834,-0.739075] , 175.801 , "DOWN" ], [ [25.5137,307.453,-0.739075] , 177.988 , "DOWN" ], [ [28.6016,309.412,-0.739075] , 180.249 , "DOWN" ], [ [34.5586,305.094,-0.739075] , 180.988 , "DOWN" ] ]; _CasPos =[ [29.5586,15.8164,-0.739075] , 339.653 , "MIDDLE" ]; _classWU = ["B_Soldier_TL_F" ,"BLUFOR" , "RIFLEMAN" ]; ///////////////////////////////////////////////// ///// CREATE THE SCENARIO CASUALTY ///// ///////////////////////////////////////////////// _grp = createGroup WEST; _Upos = _keystone modeltoWorld (_CasPos select 0); _UDir = _keystoneDIR + (_CasPos select 1); _UStance= _CasPos select 2; _u = [_grp, _classWU, [_Upos, _UDir, _UStance], "NONE","STOP"]call Tx_RNG_fCreateUnit; waituntil {!

Joe98 90 Posted October 22, 2015 Place a table on the map and name it table1 Use various methods so that the table always starts at a random location. Place a chair on the map and name it chair1 You want the chair to ALWAYS be 5 meters to the north of the table chair1 setPos [(getPos table1 select 0) +0, (getPos table1 select 1) +5]; You want the chair to ALWAYS be 5 meters to the south of the table chair1 setPos [(getPos table1 select 0) +0, (getPos table1 select 1) -5]; You want the chair to ALWAYS be 5 meters to the east of the table chair1 setPos [(getPos table1 select 0) +5, (getPos table1 select 1) +0]; You want the chair to ALWAYS be 5 meters to the west of the table chair1 setPos [(getPos table1 select 0) -5, (getPos table1 select 1) +0]; . .

redarmy 420 Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks for input mate,all ya...i found this great script from jshock( i realise i said i didnt want scripts) but this one is very easy to understand and impliment.And you can set up compositions of F.O.B's or anything you like with simply a few game logics heres the thread,near the end read the script and instructions.Its from Arma2 made by Jshock i beleive but it works here. https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/101205-moving-multiple-objectsunits-to-random-locations/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 512 Posted October 22, 2015 Defintely not mine :P. I had used the same function tag as Shuko in my earlier days, but soon realized it and I've tried to steer away from it (via JSHK instead of SHK). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
