[Released] Phronk's Furniture Script

[Tankbuster 1746]

Modeltoworld is the way forward, here, I think.

[HazJ 1289]

I agree with @Tankbuster but if you really want to use attachTo command, I recommend detaching the objects once they are in place.

[Tankbuster 1746]

Good call. Do they stay put when you do that?

I believe so. I don't think you can even knock them over, as they are created with createSimpleObject command.

[Tankbuster 1746]

Cool. I know that attached objects have no collision geometry when thet are attached.

If I'm honest, it shouldn't be too hard for phronk to convert this script to modeltoworld as it uses the same coordinate system that attachto does.

[phronk 898]

Yeah, I'll do some tests to make sure the conversion is faster (performance) and functions the same.  Also, I don't detach the objects because they stay attached in space when the object they're attachedTo (Land_HelipadEmpty_F) is deleted.  Haven't noticed any issues for not detaching.

[HazJ 1289]

@phronk - When you destroy a building, the furniture stays as it was. Would it be possible for you to add a option to delete furniture for destroyed buildings and remove from array so it doesn't get re-added again on activation?

[HazJ 1289]

Nice, @Tankbuster! Wasn't aware of that.

It's a mission eh, so hopefully it's cheap on the cpu

Yes, you can use to make the furniture disappear (deleted or hidden) but no way to have something interesting in other ways.

For example, detach is a waste of code in any case.

Even with a modelToWorld placed, not attached objects, this kind of problem still persists.

[phronk 898]

I've been hesitant about adding a BuildingChanged missionEventHandler because I'm not sure how heavy that'd be on the mission.  I'm going to add it to at least experiment with its performance impact (If any) probably soon.  I also intend to try out @HazJ's method of "attaching" the objects, to see if that's more optimal for this sorta thing.  Also, it has been exactly 5 years since I first played the Arma series!  What better time to release an update?!

5 years?   Rookie.  

[HazJ 1289]

I used to play OFP back in the day! Only the campaigns though... Victor Troska, do you know anything about this? I'm sorry i don't.

[HazJ 1289]

@phronk - I've noticed the building may not spawn again with furniture in again after leaving and coming back in the town. Not a big deal though. Would be nice to have an option to load the same again or have option to set variable on a specific building. I think someone suggested this already in the thread.

[phronk 898]

@HazJ Just tested it and the town repopulates houses with furniture when returning to the town/trigger.  I think what you meant is that the script doesn't cache which house has furniture and what layout it's using; I really don't want to store variables for all buildings.  That'd make this heavier than it needs to be, it's just for cosmetics, really.  If you want, you can disable the randomization so all houses have furniture by replacing the PF.sqf with this:

private _WS=worldSize;
PF_WN=worldName;
private _towns=nearestLocations[[0,0,0],["NameCity","NameCityCapital","NameLocal","NameVillage"],_WS];

_check=nearestObjects[getMarkerPos _m,["House_F"],250];
if(count _check<1)then{deleteMarker _m;};

private _t=createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getMarkerPos _m,false];

}forEach _towns;

 

 

[HazJ 1289]

Yeah, I meant that. That is why I said maybe an option for specific buildings that can be set by the mission maker.

Hello,
Do you think it's possible to use your script in multiplayer?

[Bosh__ 1]

@phronk Hi Phronk, great work as always! I don’t know if it’s possible but have you thought about adding graffiti/posters to the outside of some buildings?

[phronk 898]

@ricoarma Works in singleplayer, multiplayer client-hosted, and dedicated servers.

 

@Bosh__ Thank you; I have thought about adding graffiti to the abandoned buildings, but there's not really a lot of options.  I might add it in the future.

@phronk thanks a lot for your answer.
I still have two more questions:
1 *  How to disable the text that appears at the bottom of the screen that activates or deactivates the trigger?
2 * Why in the file CFG.sqf: when I change to False line 23, nothing happens?
 

PF_Dbug=TRUE;            // TRUE enables debug mode, FALSE disables it

thanks

That's odd. Are you sure you saved it and restarted the mission? @phronk - This one doesn't check if PF_Dbug to be true:

systemChat""Not blacklisted..."";

Also, how come you use double quotes? Is it just to show them in the chat? Never mind! I just saw/realised why haha.

[Blackheart_Six 283]

I'm getting this error randomly. Imagine it's when it call h2b_1 file. Don't see it anywhere else. Saw this in .2 as well. 

 

15:20:26 Error in expression <180;

Fixed.  I'll update the script when more changes are included.
