Spawn car with script

[silente13 11]

Hello! I have a problem i'm trying to spawn a car with a script. I think that the script is right cause is too easy, so my problem is: How can i spawn a vehicle with that script? I thought I'd press 'space' on a soldier and the car on a spawn point. Is it possible? Someone can help me?

Add this in your player's init box :

this addaction ["Spawn  vehicle", "spawn.sqf"];

And create a sqf file named spawn.sqf in the mission folder. Put this in it :

hint "Spawning a vehicle ...";
sleep 2;

"B_G_Offroad_01_F" createVehicle position player; // creates the vehicle on player's location

hint "Vehicle spawned near you";
sleep 2;
hint "";

Last two lines are kinda useless. Hint will anyway disappear after few seconds.

Yeah you're right ;)

Correct, but for some, like myself at times, I don't like to have a hint on my screen for an extended period of time, so I do clear the screen as exampled above.

Plus, that doesn't do anything bad to the code, might as well leave it...

Only change I would make to it, as with most of my old projects and such, I couldn't have the suspension, or it needed to move onto the next piece of code after the hint without waiting for the hint to complete, so I would spawn it in:

_fnc_timedHint =
{
	params ["_hint","_time"];
	hint _hint;
	sleep _time;
	hint "";
};

["Spawning a vehicle ...",2] spawn _fnc_timedHint;

"B_G_Offroad_01_F" createVehicle position player;

["Vehicle spawned near you",2] spawn _fnc_timedHint;

Thanks for the trick ;)

Yeh I know, I've always wondered why hint and hintSilent don't accept a parameter which defines the time it's showed. Time for a ticket ;)

Thank you guys! And if want spawn a care in a marker? I will not write 'position player', but ' createVehicle in 'name marker' right? And if i want load some weapon or other? Thanks!

markerPos "markerName" or getMarkerPos "markerName" both the same

[silente13 11]

markerPos "markerName" or getMarkerPos "markerName" both the same

 

Ok thank you very much, and if i want load in car some weapon or else?

Not tested, might as well not work ...

_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Offroad_01_F", getMarkerPos "markerName"]; 
_veh call compile format ["%1=_this select 0","vehicle1"];

clearWeaponCargoGlobal vehicle1; // clears all weapons
clearMagazineCargoGlobal vehicle1; // clears all mags
vehicle1 addWeaponCargoGlobal ["hgun_Rook40_F", 1]; // adds a gun

-EDITED-

[HaydenS 3]

_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Offroad_01_F", getMarkerPos "markerName"] 
_veh call compile format ["%1=_this select 0","vehicle1"];

clearWeaponCargoGlobal vehicle1; // clears all weapons
clearMagazineCargoGlobal vehicle1; // clears all mags
vehicle1 addWeaponCargoGlobal "hgun_Rook40_F"; // adds a gun

 

From what I can tell, that looks like it should work. Just don't forget a ';' after the first line :)

 

EDIT: Actually you may have to define the amount to add as well. Like this:

vehicle1 addWeaponCargoGlobal ["hgun_Rook40_F", 1];

Haven't tested either so i'm not sure.

missing ; at end of first line. It also won't work as it needs five elements  and only two provided.

If it did work I'm not sure _this is correct shouldn't it be _veh  but that isn't an array so no need for select 0.

 

I think there is some confusion between the two methods of spawning.

 

 

first there is this.

_veh = "B_G_Offroad_01_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "markerName");
_veh setVehicleVarName "vehicle1";// this is what may show on the screen it does not have to be the actual name of the vehicle.
missionNamespace setVariable ["vehicle1", _veh, true];// this would be the actual physical name of the vehicle and can be use directly (vehicle1 setdamage 1)

Second method

_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Offroad_01_F",getMarkerPos "markerName",[], 0, "none"];
_veh setVehicleVarName "vehicle1";
missionNamespace setVariable ["vehicle1", _veh, true];

If you want to create multiple vehicles using the same name as the base you will need to increment the name.

   for "_i" from 1 to 4 step 1 do {
    _name = format["vehicle%1", _i];// increments the vehicle name by 1 so vehicles will be named vehicle1,vehicle2 ect.
    _veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Offroad_01_F",getMarkerPos "markerName",[], 0, "none"];
    _veh setVehicleVarName _name;
    missionNamespace setVariable [_name, _veh, true];
};

And unless you need to reference each vehicle globally after creation there is no need to name it, just use the local variable "_veh" as your reference to the vehicle.

_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Offroad_01_F", getMarkerPos "markerName"];
clearWeaponCargoGlobal _veh;
clearMagazineCargoGlobal _veh;
_veh addWeaponCargoGlobal "hgun_Rook40_F";
