__________________________________________________________________________

All known bugs are now fixed.  I've also reworked a lot of the code.  I've decided to stick with the attachTo method, because it is more efficient than setting/getting variables on everything (houses AND spawned furniture) with how I clean up the furniture upon deactivation.  I still have a lot of work to do.  I've updated the To Do List, so you'll know what to expect in the future.

 

Thanks and enjoy!

This is amazing! Thanks for your great and hard work, and thanks for sharing this!!! Will definitely use this on my server. How will this work in missions where clutter has already been placed manually in some points by the mission maker? I always put some stuff in the military metal structures, so if players raid them they seem a little more realistic. Or will you only do town houses? Anyway. Great stuff, can't wait to see this working on Tanoa.

[phronk 895]

Thanks; the script currently only spawns furniture within residential buildings from Altis, Malden, and Stratis.  I'm still adding furniture for more houses, including Tanoa (Not yet included).  Abandoned houses, industrial buildings, and military structures are planned.  The upcoming version of the script will allow you to blacklist houses within defined markers, blacklist houses within specific defined locations, and blacklist houses with their classnames defined in the CFG.sqf

[oy of mid-world 10]

Wow, this sounds really well thought out. Looking forward to this!

[zonekiller 174]

Nice script great idea Thanks

Thanks and enjoy!

[DÄZ 56]

you do a gods job, thanks for adding what's missing in arma

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4206]

Great News!!!!

 

Thanks for the update !

Merry Christmas!

[Devastator_cm 434]

Really good idea to implement! Thanks for your effort.

 

Did anybody run the script in dedi with >25  people? Is there any performance issues?

[Tankbuster 1733]

Great work and most of it done placing objects by hand. A labour of love.

 

I'll be using this in the next build of my mission, for sure.

Phronk's Furniture v0.5

[beno_83au 1362]

@phronk

I'm getting an error sometimes to do with _bucket being undefined:

17:39:10 Error in expression < 85;_chair1 attachTo[_h,[9,1.5,1.31]];_bucket attachTo[_h,[10.06,1.2,1.06]];_>
17:39:10   Error position: <_bucket attachTo[_h,[10.06,1.2,1.06]];_>
17:39:10   Error Undefined variable in expression: _bucket
17:39:10 File D:\Users\beno_\Documents\Arma 3\missions\MDCS-Urban.Altis\core\PF\A3\h1_4.sqf, line 58

It so far has only happened when I setPos into a high density area (i.e. towns/cities). I've been running with PF_Chance=100, and there's a fair amount of FPS-lag when it's about to happen too. Just thought it'd be worth mentioning.

 

Edit:

So, rather than being lazy I had a quick look, and it seems that h1_4.sqf is missing the line:

private _bucket=createSimpleObject["Land_Bucket_F",[0,0,0]];

 

[phronk 895]

Thank you.  The bug is now fixed in the next version, 0.6.  I'll try to update the script this week before I ship my PC out.

[johnnyboy 3741]

Hey @Phronk, I'm also getting an error (I'm applying your script to a Tonoa mission).  My player location is in the town of Lami near the Aeroport de Tanoa. Maybe its the bug you just fixed for upcoming release .6?   Happy New Year bro!

private _H=_this select 0;

private _bed=createSimpleObje>
 9:54:38   Error position: <select 0;

[phronk 895]

Yeah, _this select 0 should be _this instead.  Thanks!

[johnnyboy 3741]

Hey Phronk, I bet you are totally sick of manually furnishing buildings...but if you're still at it, you might consider adding the plank (Land_Plank_01_8m_F) inside the industrial shed (Land_i_Shed_Ind_F) like below.  This gives players walkable ramp access to the window above the office for sneaky observation, sniping, etc.  No hurry, and no worries if you're not interested...  Happy New Year buddy!

[phronk 895]

I'll see what I can do. 

[Sparker 184]

That's an amazing project!

I like how much effort you've put into these interiors. They look great!

 

If you don't mind, a question just for my own curiosity, why are you using triggers to detect player presense? What benefit do they give for solving the 'player presense' problem compared to a scripted solution?

[lordfrith 401]

@phronk love this script good sir, much needed for every mission now!

 

i did have a small problem in a mission that involved moving a scripted helo about: the last two lines of "PF\f\PF.sqf"

 

Quote

private _pad=(_b nearObjects["Land_HelipadEmpty_F",2])select 0;
if(!simulationEnabled _pad)then{{deleteVehicle _x}forEach attachedObjects _pad;deleteVehicle _pad;};}];

 

deletes all invisible heli pads near player, including any spawned by other scripts or placed in eden by the player.

 

i was going to add an array "LFkeepPads = ["pad1","pad2","pad3"];" and add a check against that to your script as extra condition before deleting

 

just thought i'd mention it!

[JohnKalo 657]

So this sounded like a really cool script but trying it out caused me not to use it. Because:

 

1.]Visiting a town's location in Malden and returning back without leaving the town made the placed furniture change. The shop used to have laptops and then the owner started selling plants 

2.]Seeing the shop from a distance meant no furniture. Coming in closer made furniture appear.

3.]Some furniture were floating out of buildings. Even the shop sometimes had the laptops stuck into walls along with the office desks.

4.]Vehicles that used to be in garages stopped being there once you returned back to their previous location.

 

Is this just me or are these known issues because reading the thread's posts didn't show any such issue to be known.

Hope this script does work eventually because you would really save editors a lot of time.

 

Mods used which might cause an issue: CBA, ASR AI3

All tests were made via the Eden editor. I was trying to implement it in a WIP mission of mine but no luck sadly.

 

 

 

[phronk 895]

@Sparker The triggers are created on the server and are local to it -- they aren't global. I could use a scripted method, but this works well enough. I can also use inArea with it, which you can't do with a scripted method. I create markers on top of the triggers anyway (Mostly for debugging), but the triggers don't seem to harm anything. I heard that all triggers which loop (Repeatedly) run on a different thread and all run fine, whereas using tons of waitUntils starts to hinder the scheduling of scripts.

 

@lordfrith Yeah, it was only a matter of time until people figured that part out. I might work on setting variables for all the helipads, but I would like to keep this as smooth as possible. No variable checking means it'll run faster because it's not checking for additional stuff mid-process, but the downside is potential inconveniences like the one you mentioned. I'll add it to my list of stuff to look into, but no promises I'll actually add a fix or workaround.

 

@JohnKalo I'll answer each issue as they were brought up:

1. Each house randomizes the furniture when the trigger is activated and the results are not cached, for performance reasons. I am working on a possible option to enable caching, though.
2. This is a result of a recent optimization I added to the script; when the furniture is spawned, they are hidden globally. The furniture is revealed locally to players near the furniture and will not be rehidden once revealed. I will try to turn this into a toggleable feature.
3. This is an Arma bug that BI needs to fix: setDir is not executing globally. The only way I can possibly fix this is if I remoteExec "setDir", but that'll be a lot slower than if BI just fixed it. It'll also be a little tedious to go back into every script and rewrite that part, which I might do, just to prove the point.
4. This is part of answer #1.

 

Performance is the #1 thing people piss and moan about with Arma 3 and it's partially because of ambitious/excessive scripts in the missions/mods. It's important to know how to compromise and make sacrifices for smoother performance. My script is already ambitious enough and a bit excessive as is. But, I'll try to address the issues you brought up, unless they hinder performance too much.
