Protection zone with a trigger

[reapertitanium 11]

Hi everyone,

 

I've tried, by many ways, to make a protection zone. It means a zone where players don't take damage and the projectiles, like bullets and grenades, disappears. I want to make it activated by a trigger.

 

Do you have a suggestions ? Or maybe a code completly prepared. :)

 

Thanks a lot.

Use GrenadeStop.sqf, you can find it everywhere on google by searching for more than a few seconds.

I challenge you to try and make it yourself. 

here is some starters:

FiredNear (event handler)

or

HandleDamage (Event Handler)

 

there is many different ways I could see this being done.

I like challenges but i'm very not a good programmer. I can do some lines by my self but not more. ^^"

I have got a little problem with the GrenadeStop script. When i tried it, the game say there's a problem with the ligne 27. I've 3 safe zones, each got proper radius. Can you help ?

 

Spoiler

The code : if ({(_this select 0) distance getMarkerPos (_x select 0) < _x select 1} count SAFETY_ZONES > 0) then

3 areas? Let's say triggers or markers

Something like:

player addEventHandler ["firedman",
  {
    _plyr = _this select 0;
    _projectile = _this select 6;
    if (_plyr inArea "marker1" or _plyr inArea trigger1) then {
      deleteVehicle _projectile;
      hintC "Don't fire inside the base!"
    }
}];

      deleteVehicle _projectile;

Yes, it's 3 triggers. ^^

And is your code made for vehicle or players and vehicles ?

You should put up your code and then people can make suggestions based on what you have tried.

Yeap but i've tried with triggers in first after i'd search for scripts. ^^"

So, players on foot or in vehicles.

Just adjust the condition to your three triggers. Place this code in init.sqf or even any trigger, activated of course.

This code doesn't prevent a shot by a unit inside the area, just preventing players firing when in the area.

 

You can adapt this for a sanctuary:
 

0= [] spawn {
  while {true} do {
   sleep 2;
   {
     if !(_x getVariable ["MGIttd",false]) then {
       _x setVariable ["MGIttd",true];
       _x addEventHandler ["firedman", 
        { 
          _shooter = _this select 0; 
          _projectile = _this select 6;
          _target = if (isplayer _shooter) then [{cursorTarget},{ assignedTarget _shooter}];
          call {
            if (_projectile inArea trigger1 or _projectile inArea trigger2 or _projectile inArea trigger3) exitWith {
              deleteVehicle _projectile;
              if (isPlayer _shooter) then {
                "Don't fire inside the base!" remoteExec ["hintC",_shooter]
              }
            };
            if (_target inArea trigger1 or _target inArea trigger2 or _target inArea trigger3) exitWith {
              deleteVehicle _projectile;
              if (isPlayer _shooter) then {
                "Don't fire inside the base!" remoteExec ["hintC",_shooter]
              }
            };
            [_shooter,_projectile] spawn {
              params ["_shooter","_projectile"];
              waitUntil {_projectile inArea trigger1 or _projectile inarea trigger2 or _projectile inArea trigger3 or isnull _projectile};
              if (!isNull _projectile) then {
                deleteVehicle _projectile;
                if (isPlayer _shooter) then {
                  "Don't fire inside the base!" remoteExec ["hintC",_shooter]
                }
              };
            };
          };  
       }]
      }
    } forEach allUnits;
  }
};

With this code, even a sniper or an artillery shooting from a remote position, to units inside the bases (triggers areas), can't hurt anybody.

As the projectile is delete crossing the area, don't expect firing at an enemy at the opposite location of you through the base.

Unless you absolutely must have a trigger script, I hope this helps

"ProtectionZone_F" createVehicle [4456, 5640, 0];

How do i make this script work on a dedicated server ? sir       its the best safe zone script i have tested <3

If placed in init.sqf, this should work on dedi. Did you experience some difficulties? Don't forget to adapt your triggers and name them in editor and in script (here: trigger1, trigger2, trigger3).

[JIMMI DEE BILLY BOB 2]

 

I want to be honest and say I do not know what I'm doing. Your script is the only one I use without a longer guide, so I had to ask you, otherwise I would hit the wall with my project. I'm newbie here, but I've noticed that you add help to almost all threads I have seen here .... And I am very grateful for your answer ... thank you...

Your script works great, but it does not stop MLRS, but it's okay, it's to OP anyway :D

 

I use 6 safe zones and they all work well, you've described everything so well in this thread, so it was quite easy to get to work. I just dont understand server side, that's my problem :D

 

 

 

[pierremgi 4737]

init.sqf runs for server and clients in any case. there is no trouble to add some EH like firedMan on a server. On dedicated, there is no player, so this EH will not fire from this PC but will fire on clients.

 

For MLRS, sometimes the EH returns a null object for the fired rocket. Especially when on 1st muzzle (default one, shortest range, firing against close base) . I didn't test all situation but I'm rather sure that fired object changes when in flight (deployed fins or else). Then the former object is already deleted (and replaced) before entering the area. I don't have a solution for that at this time.

 

I'm not sure you can make a scenario for MP if you don't have any skill about MP editing/scripting. Have a look at forum. There are plenty of useful hints.

I've made one, I'll just figure out how to make it run optimally on a dedicated server ... it takes a long time to learn something as complex as scripts ...
