Sleep & Vehicle Spawn

[Liamsmith 1]

Hi, so i`m making an script where you press a button,eg f2, to spawn an vehicle. I was looking for help as you can easily spam it and blow the vehicles up. Also, i`m going to have multiple vehicles that will be able spawn and so if one vehicle spawns give it a delay before a different one is.  Would be great if you died you had no delay and could spawn in a vehicle straight away.

 

Vehicle_Spawn.sqf

 

0 = [] spawn {
    waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
    (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
    if(_this select 1 == 0x3C) 
    then {
    createVehicle ["O_MRAP_02_F",player getPos [15,getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    };
}];
};

 

Something Like This For The End Result

 

0 = [] spawn {
    waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
    (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
    if(_this select 1 == 0x3C) 
    then {
    createVehicle ["O_MRAP_02_F",player getPos [15,getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    };
}];
};

0 = [] spawn {
    waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
    (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
    if(_this select 1 == 0x3C) 
    then {
    createVehicle ["O_MRAP_02_F",player getPos [15,getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    };
}];
};

---------------------------

Update when i spawn in the ifrits 2 spawn so they blow up.

Replace "CAN_COLLIDE" with "NONE", or any of the other options depending on your needs. Have a look at the alternative syntax - createVehicle - and look at what is said about "CAN_COLLIDE".

Out of interest how could i pause the script so the vehicle is spam spawn and lags everyone out. Thanks

Doubt you will get an answer to that, since it disrupts gameplay.

 

Cheers

is there any work around?

[beno_83au 1369]

Do you mean you want to avoid people spamming the script? Because your question translates as you wanting to lag everyone out.

Yes, is there anyway to rework the script so you can only spawn a vehicle once every life time or anything just to stop spamming it.

You could restrict it to only allow spawning once every n seconds, but a better approach would be to allow spawning only if the player is a certain distance away from the last spawned vehicle.

Something like this:

 

0 = [] spawn {
    waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
    (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {

	_lastVehPos = player getVariable ["TAG_fnc_lastSpawnedVehPos",[0,0,0]];

    if(_this select 1 == 0x3C AND player distance _lastVehPos > 15) 
    then {
    _veh = createVehicle ["O_MRAP_02_F",player getPos [15,getDir player], [], 0, "NONE"];
	player setVariable ["TAG_fnc_lastSpawnedVehPos",getposATL _veh];
    };
}];
};

}];
};

When i spawn in vehicles 2 spawn instead of 1. The anitspam is perfect now.
