Spawning bushes with createSimpleObject

[razerhoriizon 10]

Hey there !
I saw that the command 'createSimpleObject' is used only on scripts, or i didn't see that one out of scripts so, i just wonder if it was possible to just put them onto a game logic or on a trigger ? and how can i do that ?
For example, the bush/plant that i want to add is "a3\plants_f\Bush\b_Thistle_Thorn_Green.p3d"

Sorry for that question btw i'm really noob onto scripting but i just wanna add some bushes at a place
Thanks for reading

Further advice, I'd try a using a different bush, that particular one in your example is broken.

It seems to work for me:

_posit = player getPos [20, getdir player];

_bush = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Bush\b_Thistle_Thorn_Green.p3d",(AGLToASL _posit) vectorAdd [0,0,0.3]];

But in which module or init i need to put that ?

[pierremgi 4851]

you can place it in initServer.sqf

or in init.sqf with a server condition :

if (isServer) then {

  _bushPositions = < your array of positions here>;

  { _bush = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Bush\b_Thistle_Thorn_Green.p3d",(AGLToASL _x) vectorAdd [0,0,0.3]] } forEach _bushPositions;

};

Hi Pierremgi, is possible to replace the player position with random position in a marker area?

[pierremgi 4851]

You can randomize a position from any reference like

getpos player

getMarkerPos "yourMarker"

then, something like:

 _posit = getMarkerPos "yourmarker" getPos [markerRadius * random sqrt 1, random 360];

 

Note: the random sqrt 1 factor is a mean for linear distribution from center to border. If not, you have more chance for a point near center (density at random in circle area when called by distance/azimuth)

Note: markerRadius can be found by (markerArea "yourMarker" #0)  if a circle.

 

For ellipse or rectangle, you can add condition and loop til the point is inside the area:

private _greatAxis = (markerSize "yourMarker" #0) max (markerSize "yourMarker" #1);
private "_posit";
while {_posit = getMarkerPos "yourmarker" getPos [_greatAxis * random sqrt 1, random 360]; !(_posit inArea "yourMarker")} do {};
_posit;

Clear, thanks!
