How do I create a safe zone?

[Cryonic. 2]

I am creating a multiplayer mission and I do not want players or vehicles to take damage in their deployment area. I have already tried creating a trigger and including "player allowDamage false;" and "player allowDamage true;" but it doesn't work very well. I have very little experience in scripting so if you can help me, please be detailed in your explanation. Thanks!

I tried your script but it didnt work.

[sarogahtyp 1104]

I did not write a script for it. I just showed u that google has much different solutions for it. crawl them and u should find somethin working or just post a code which u tried and maybe we can help. but without anything?

[Cryonic. 2]

This code makes it so all players and vehicles in the area take no damage and it works.

But, I still need a few things from it.

1. I'd like the code to only affect players of a single side in the area. (i.e. Bluefor or Opfor)

2.I need a second safe zone in the script for Opfor.

Thanks.

0 = [] spawn { 
    while{true} do { 
        { 
            if(_x distance (getMarkerPos "bluefor_safe_zone") < 200) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true}; 
        } forEach allUnits + vehicles; 
        sleep 1; 
    }; 
};

not tested but should do it

0 = [] spawn { 
    while{true} do { 
        { 
            if(_x distance (getMarkerPos "bluefor_safe_zone") < 200) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true};
			true
        } count (allUnits + vehicles) select {side _x isEqualTo west}; 

        { 
            if(_x distance (getMarkerPos "opfor_safe_zone") < 200) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true};
			true
        } count (allUnits + vehicles) select {side _x isEqualTo east}; 

        sleep (3 + random 3); 
    }; 
};

 

but this is not a good solution for performance reasons. much better would be to create two triggers, each for one sides safezone

I tried triggers before but they wouldn't always work. I'm trying your script now. Thanks!

Results:

Bluefor:

     player is not invincible

     vehicles are invincible

Opfor:

     player is not invincible

     vehicles are not invincible

 

What trigger info should I use?

[sarogahtyp 1104]

okay. did not read it carefully.

 

0 = [] spawn { 
    while{true} do { 
		 _justPlayers = (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F") select {alive _x};
        { 
            if(_x distance (getMarkerPos "bluefor_safe_zone") < 200) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true};
			true
        } count (allUnits + vehicles + _justPlayers) select {side _x isEqualTo west}; 

        { 
            if(_x distance (getMarkerPos "opfor_safe_zone") < 200) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true};
			true
        } count (allUnits + vehicles + _justPlayers) select {side _x isEqualTo east}; 

        sleep (3 + random 3); 
    }; 
};

did u notice that u need a second marker for opfors safezone? its called opfor_safe_zone

alive check for plyrs added

[Cryonic. 2]

Yes, I placed a marker labeled opfor_safe_zone.

I'm getting an error when I spawn in, but I don't know how to send you the pic.

[sarogahtyp 1104]

copy the error directly from .rpt file.

[Cryonic. 2]

I think this is it

   Error position: <select {side _x isEqualTo west}; 

[Cryonic. 2]

Error in expression <ue};
true
} count (allUnits + vehicles) select {side _x isEqualTo west}; 

{ 
if>
 2:41:58   Error position: <select {side _x isEqualTo west}; 

{

did you test this script ?: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30691

 

Edit :

So you want in your script to protect :

- All players and all empty vehicles ?

[Cryonic. 2]

I want it to protect players of a specific side and their vehicles.
