Too hard for me...but thank you. :)

 

No worries, got you covered.

 

Let's say you want to spawn some anomalies, in my case I put them near a freedom base.

Place down some hidden markers, let's call them "freedom_anomaly_electra_1", "freedom_anomaly_electra_2", "freedom_anomaly_electra_3" etc

 

Place down a trigger, size is of your choosing.

Type: None

Activation: Any Player

Activation Type: Present

Tick Repeatable

Tick Server only

 

Put this in the activation field (set the higher number to the number of your markers)

freedomAnomaly = [];
for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {
	freedomAnomaly pushBack ([getMarkerPos ("freedom_anomaly_electra_" + str(_i))] call anomaly_fnc_createElectra);
};

Put this in the deactivation field

[freedomAnomaly] call anomaly_fnc_deleteAnomalies;

Nice! Thx mate! :)

The Armaholic mirror has been updated with the new version:

 

STALKER like anomalies v1.5

[Ellman 9]

Can't tell if I'm being stupid, but I've tried to place down some anomaly markers according to what they need to be called:

Spoiler

[getMarkerPos "Springboard"] call anomaly_fnc_createSpringboard;
[getMarkerPos "Electra"] call anomaly_fnc_createElectra;
[getMarkerPos "Burner"] call anomaly_fnc_createBurner;
[getMarkerPos "Meatgrinder"] call anomaly_fnc_createMeatgrinder;
[getMarkerPos "Teleport_1",1] call anomaly_fnc_createTeleport;
[getMarkerPos "Teleport_2",1] call anomaly_fnc_createTeleport;

 

I've also made sure that it calls them in the init.sqf and I've transferred over the "sounds" & the "scripts" folder into my mission folder. 

I'm using empty markers to ensure that players won't be able to see the locations on the map, but no matter what I try the anomalies does not show up when previewing the mission in SP.

 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Edit: I have tried the way with the trigger like you said above, but not even that works. (And yes I'm running CBA and even ACE3)

Do you also execute this "[] call anomaly_fnc_init" ? If that does not help then check if you also added these parts to your description.ext.

class CfgFunctions {
  createShortcuts = 1;
  #include "scripts\funcs.hpp"
};

class CfgSounds {
	sounds[] = {};
    #include "sounds\sounds.hpp"
};

If you did not, add this to your description.ext and reload the mission into the editor.

Hello.

Thx @diwako for help with triggers,work perfectly.

But...on my local server anomaly dmg works good...on dedicated (IP machine) NOT...why? :(

 

Thx.

I noticed that I were missing the CfgFunctions, after adding it, it still does not work.

I really don't get what I'm doing wrong at this point.

 

I even get a "error" for a missing file when it clearly exists:

Spoiler

 

My init.sqf file:

Spoiler

My Description.ext:

Spoiler

 

I can't figure out if another script is causing this one to not work.

Thx for the responses :)

That error is really weird. have you tried restarting the game? The init.sqf and description.ext look fine. you sure you have put them into the right mission folder?

Are you running the latest version? The only anomaly that has lights to it is the electra one.

Restarted my game multiple times, did ensure that I had the folder "scripts" in the mission.

I'm starting to question if another script is cancelling it out.

@diwako hello.

Are you here? :) 

Have little trouble with 2 things.

 

1.Elektra still does not damage.

2.After death character lost anomaly detector.

 

All is on multiplayer,dedicated server (remote hosted server)

 

Thank you.

Hey, sorry for disappearing for a bit. As I mentioned some weeks before I was going to be away for a bit. Now I am back home and can work on this again. That said, I am taking a look once I find the time.

[diwako 400]

Turns out I got sidetracked hard. Tho I managed to update the scripts a bit.

 

Script updated to v1.6

Changelog:

-Added function to create a randomized anomaly field. (it uses CBA_fnc_randPosArea as its core, so read up on their documentation)
-Added Debug variable which will create markers where anomalies have been created if it is set to true
-Added light when a burner anomaly has been activated
-Fixed delete function not deleting everything
-Hopefully fixed electra anomaly effects bug

Media:

 

Usage of new function:

The new function is "anomaly_fnc_createAnomalyField". Which will take up to 5 arguments.

_posParams - array containing parameters for the location function

_springboard - how many anomalies of the type springboard should be created (default: 0)

_burner - how many anomalies of the type burner should be created (default: 0)

_electra - how many anomalies of the type electra should be created (default: 0)

_meatgrinder - how many anomalies of the type meatgrinder should be created (default: 0)

 

The function will return all newly created anomalies in an array.

 

Example:

[[getpos player, 50, 50, 0, false],5,5,5,5] call anomaly_fnc_createAnomalyField;

GOOD JOB! Thanks.

 

Where put this - [[getpos player, 50, 50, 0, false],5,5,5,5] call anomaly_fnc_createAnomalyField;  ? To init?

[bombajack 11]

..i have trouble run it on my Exile mod server...i have Namalsk map and anomalies not worked..dont know why :/ 

[bombajack 11]

Here is my RPT.

 

Error in expression < 25;

[getMarkerPos "Springboard"] call anomaly_fnc_createSpringboard;
[getMarke>
 1:01:20   Error position: <anomaly_fnc_createSpringboard;
[getMarke>
 1:01:20   Error Undefined variable in expression: anomaly_fnc_createspringboard

Make sure you include funcs.hpp in your CfgFunctions in description.ext. Otherwise all the functions are undefined.

initServer is best. Tho you should replace "getpos player" obviously ;)
