Adding small bases / outposts at generated missions

[Da_Hollander 2]

Hello all,

 

As the title says, I'd like to have some help with adding a group of objects that form an outpost at a dynamic mission.

Context: you're in a mission and a randomly spawned mission pops up. I want several objects to spawn at that mission so it can be fortified and what not.

 

To make my question more specific: The objects in the example code are placed well and have certain coordinates + rotations etc. Is there any way to make such 'group' of objects myself and write them in a simular way as the example code? Because the issue is that I have no idea how I could get the 'relative' coordinates of the objects.

 

I hope my question is formed clear enough to understand..

 

I have example code here:

//////////////////////
// -- ADD THIS -- 1 //
//////////////////////
_centerSpawn = _this select 0;
_centerSpawnX = _centerSpawn select 0;
_centerSpawnY = _centerSpawn select 1;
/////////////////
// -- END -- 1 //
/////////////////

_vehicle_0 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
  _this = createVehicle ["Land_MultiMeter_F", [1817.7195, 5623.689, -1.2397766e-005], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _vehicle_0 = _this;
  _this setPos [1817.7195, 5623.689, -1.2397766e-005];
};
///////////////////////
// -- ADD THIS --  2 //
///////////////////////
_centerObj = getPosWorld _vehicle_0; 
_centerX = _centerObj select 0;
_centerY = _centerObj select 1;
deleteVehicle _vehicle_0;
/////////////////
// -- END -- 2 //
/////////////////

Haha I guess the person in the example code had to make sure @ if true

 

Thanks for linking to worldToModel, will check that and see if I can find out how it works.

You could use my c-pack, Josef.moveObjects to move objects and keep there position/ rotation to each other.

Its possible to use as an ordinary function even if you don't won't to use TypeSQF.

I can release it in the forum if your interested.

Cheers, will look into that.

 

Unfortunately I do not know how I can use the worldToModel stuff.. Can't find any examples or tutorials online either. Could anyone explain or link me to an explenation of it?
