Vandeanson 1677 Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Dynamic Shipwreck Spawner by Vandeanson After a few weeks people realized that all was lost in Chernarus. With the inland being too dangerous for traveling, many gathered as much supplies as they could, loaded it into their boats and took off into the open sea. Many did not make it through the harsh weather conditions and currents... Nowadays, lucky survivors might still stumble across the rusty remains of such endeavors, washed up along the shores, when wandering along Chernarus coastlines... Showcase Videos: Functions of the script - random selection of wreck placement at any shore (with v. 2.0, it is no longer needed to place markers) - random selection of lootable props to be placed around that markere wreck - the wreck will be deleted after 3600 seconds and the script will loop, starting from scratch How to create, use and Install the script: Step 1 - init.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code -------> [] execVM "shipwreck.sqf"; 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name -----> init.sqf 5. Move the init.sqf to your mission folder. =================================== Note - if you already have an init.sqf then just add the code from 2 to it. Step 2 - shipwreck.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code ------> from the spoiler below 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name ------> shipwreck.sqf 5. Move the shipwreck.sqf to your mission folder. ========================================= NO MARKERS NEED TO BE PLACED! shipwreck.sqf Spoiler //VANDEANSONS DYNAMIC SHIPWRECK SPAWNER //AUGUST 3, 2018 //VERSION 2.0 //DEPENDENCIES: RAVAGE & CBA IF YOU WANT TO USE THE RAVAGE LOOT FUNCTION while {true} do {// THIS LOOPS THE SCRIPT //1.1 SOME DETAILS THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED: _despawnSleepRnd = 3600; // (REFERENCE FOR CODE UNDER ITEM 5)SETS THE TIMER IN SECONDS FOR THE WRECK TO DESPAWN, WILL SELECT A RANDOM NUMBER (E.G. 3600: IT WILL SELECT A RANDOM NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3600) _despawnSleepFix = 1000;// (REFERENCE FOR CODE UNDER ITEM 5)SETS A FIX TIMER IN SECONDS THAT WILL RUN AFTER THE RANDOM TIMER _despanPauseProxy = 300;// (REFERENCE FOR CODE UNDER ITEM 6)SETS A RADIUS AROUND THE WRECKS POSITION.WHEN THE PLAYER IS WITHIN THIS RADIUS, DESPAWNING IS PAUSED _wreckspawnMinRange = 1000; //MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM PLAYER WHERE THE WRECK CAN SPAWN _wreckspawnMaxRange = 3000;//MAXIMUM DISTANCE FROM PLAYER WHERE THE WRECK CAN SPAWN ////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //2.

GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted March 28, 2018 Good Stuff! Congratulation Vandeanson! Very good for survival environments! (... to be honest i had in mind to create a script like this ! It's a Great idea!!!! ) Thanks for this nice script!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonTheRed 15 Posted August 30, 2018 I've tried the latest version on the United Sahrani terrain and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm calling it properly and NOT adding markers and placed my character on the shoreline hoping to see sweet sweet wrecks... Since it detects a safe place and Sahrani beaches have slopes would that be a possible reason? Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since it detects a safe place and Sahrani beaches have slopes would that be a possible reason? Any thoughts? thanks, i will test on the mentioned map, did you alter the script in any way? Note that they spawn quite some distance away from the player. for testing, you could also alter the min max distance, so the wrecks spawn closer: change the minimum to 20 and the max to 70 _wreckspawnMinRange = 1000; //MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM PLAYER WHERE THE WRECK CAN SPAWN _wreckspawnMaxRange = 3000;//MAXIMUM DISTANCE FROM PLAYER WHERE THE WRECK CAN SPAWN else i will check next occasion;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3789 Posted August 30, 2018 I like it...good idea. Why not spawn partially submerged sometimes? Make the player work for his loot sometimes.. :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
