IEDs not exploding and ZEUS mine marker problem

[dlegion 98]

hi there!
i'm trying to get IEDs exploding (its theyr job afterall), but seems there's no way for me!
i tried passing on them with tanks, APC, cars, even on foot. tried passing near them, tried shooting them...and finally they exploded.
what i'm doing wrong ?
they should explode if a vehicle is near or ...?
thansk for any info on that !

what kind of IED's?

[dlegion 98]

i tried small and big, urban variant and dig-in variant

[dlegion 98]

i'm right now in the editor....apers mines works (when i walk on them they explode), thinked "small" was for infantry and "big" for vehicles, bu cant trig any of them on foot or on vehicles!
 

[sarogahtyp 1108]

idk bout it. what are the classnames?

 

[dlegion 98]

ModuleExplosive_IEDUrbanBig_F      (IED big)
ModuleExplosive_IEDUrbanSmall_F   (IED small)

I think u need a trigger and just do

_bomb setdamage 1

with it

[dlegion 98]

ahhh ..tragic! was hoping to use them as autonomous ground mines.....place triggers will degrade performance, right ?

[sarogahtyp 1108]

I think not more as a mine would do...
triggers are mostly performance friendly.

i can use AT mines and apers (they work), but the problem is this ridicolous marker that shows up for all players.....really nosense.

Sets given mine as known to the side.

but how to set as unknown?

 

EDIT:

just create and not revealing?

[dlegion 98]

good idea! i try !

[pierremgi 4900]

Arf! sorry, doesn't work as reveal. Too bad! But you can play with the difficulty settings on server.

 

Btw, if you hide the mine, you'll detect it later and it exploses as well.

[dlegion 98]

ah ok, but i fear its a problem about zeus. seems that mines placed after start by zeus get that nosense "minefield" marker....damned BI.

[dlegion 98]

this link explain better the problem....
well ok , thanks guys !

[sarogahtyp 1108]

last post is interesting. maybe u could write a script which deletes that mine markers.

the other interesting thing is bout the post which suggested to create mines with opfor zeus...

[dlegion 98]

about Opfor Zeus...i have no idea how do it. in fact my mines are randomly created by a script, not by zeus, in a bubble around players (500m min, to 100m max)
yep, the code of Austin (a bit edited) is this:

if (isServer) then {
uiSleep 1;
while{true} do
{
	{
		_prefix = [_x,0,16] call BIS_fnc_trimString;
		if(_prefix == "bis_fnc_drawminef") then
		{
			deleteMarker _x;
		};
		//hint format ["marker prefix:%1",_prefix];
	} foreach allMapMarkers;
	sleep 1;
};
};

..and i can confirm it works!
EDITED: corrected the code

[sarogahtyp 1108]

while{true} do
{
 	_mine_markers = allMapMarkers select { !(_x find "bis_fnc_drawminef" isEqualTo -1) };
 
	{ deleteMarker _x } count _mine_markers;

	sleep 5;
};

pleasee... can you explain it to me? i wish to understand !

EDIT:
(just for the sake of understanding...because i discovered that just the infantry mines create this stupid marker, and keeps creating it at a ridicolous fast rate, so to keep them off players map you need to use some low value like "sleep 0.1"...and i really dont want to !)

[sarogahtyp 1108]

allMapMarkers - is an array of strings with all marker names in it

array1 = array2 select {condition} - selects all elements of array2 for which the condition is true and assigns it to array1

index = string1 find string2  - if string2 is part of string1 then find returns the index where string2 starts inside of string1. if string2 is not part of string1 then it just returns -1

therefore this:

(_x find "bis_fnc_drawminef" isEqualTo -1)

checks if "bis_fnc_drawminef" is not part of _x

 

but man just read the wiki then I don't have to type what is there ...

[dlegion 98]

thanks for the explanation man :)

sarogahtyp script is fine. But you seems to say that markers are back again and again. Perhaps Arma/Zeus engine. I'm not familiar with Zeus but I remarked a bunch of commands along with curator. So, perhaps someone has a better solution for this case, with removeCuratorEditableObjects     or else.

Perhaps, you should mention ZEUS in your title for that.

good idea, i edit the topic name!
thanks man !
