Trying to get Virtual Garage Spawner to work

[André Krauß 0]

Hey,

 

with the introduction of Tanks DLC i tried to make a Virtual Garage Vehicle spawner that lets me configure addons and camo. This post was very helpful and custom spawning worked great. But i got one remaining problem: Spawned vehicles are invincible. I cannot for the live of me find a way in the wiki as to how to reference to the just spawned vehicle and set allowdamage to true. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, that helped somewhat.

I got it to atleast make the vehicle damagable with the following script, partially from your link.

 

_pos = player getPos [30,getDir player]; 
_spawner = createVehicle [ "Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE" ];  

["Open",[ true, _spawner ]] call BIS_fnc_garage;
{_x allowDamage true;} forEach nearestObjects [_pos, [], 5];

 

Here the problem is that, if you change the vehicle you want to spawn in the garage, it doesn't work anymore so i would need to initialize {_x allowDamage true;} forEach nearestObjects [_pos, [], 5]; after the garage is closed.

So i tried it with this eventhandler:
 

[ missionNamespace, "garageClosed", 
{
	{_x allowDamage true;} forEach nearestObjects [_pos, [], 5];
}]; 
call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

 

Which unfortunately produces an error.

Hello there André Krauß !

 

Just for the story this should be like :

[this,[
    "<t size=""1.2"" font=""RobotoCondensedBold"" color=""#FF9933"">" + "Open Spawner",
    {
        params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];
		Spawner_pos = [getPos _target, 1, 100, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
		BIS_fnc_garage_center = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", Spawner_pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; 
		[missionNamespace, "garageClosed",{
			{_x allowDamage true;}forEach nearestObjects [Spawner_pos, [], 5];
		}]call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;
		["Open",true] call BIS_fnc_garage;
    },[], 1.5,true,true,"","true",8,false,"",""
]]remoteExec["addAction"];

 

I noticed also someones who have create a spawner from the garage :

Not tested that much , but seems to be working :

 

//	in the init
GF_VSpawner = {

	_nearestObjects = BIS_fnc_garage_center nearEntities [["Car","Tank","Ship","Air"], 1];
	{deletevehicle _x}forEach _nearestObjects;
	_Object = selectrandom _nearestObjects;
	_typeOf = typeOf _Object;
	_createVehicle = createVehicle [_typeOf, GF_VSpawner_pos, [], 0, "None"];
};


[missionNamespace, "garageClosed",{
	[]call GF_VSpawner;
}]call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;


/*

		GF_VSpawner_pos = [getPos _target, 1, 100, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

Working with mods + extras :

 

this is from @CUP mod :

[Jnr4817 215]

Do I set an object that spawns the vehicle or is it just an addaction?

 

Does it work on the USS Freedom?

Hello there Jnr4817 !

 

You need to add this in an object ( or a man ) and it's not tested in USS Freedom , though even if it doesn't , it can be fixed.

Would you like to give it a try ?!

[Jnr4817 215]

Ok,

 

Tested with CUP and MELB and RHS.

 

The multiple aircraft options that CUP has for example, the UH-60M has several different variations. These are not spawned with any weapons if you use the garage and hide and unhide certain things, like the ESSS-4x weapons pylons.

 

The spot, the spawner pics is random. It would not work on the USS Freedom, always defaulted to the ground on land somewhere.

 

Some vehicles, like the CH-53 Stallion would spawn with wheels below ground.

 

Here is the fn_spawnVehicle functions VVS uses to spawn stuff on ground and USS Freedom at the spot you choose, usually marker. I have modified a little to add certain scripts to the spawning vehicle and make it spawn on the freedom with the help of several others, troubleshooting.

I forgot to answer ,

this is because i have fix this to find an empty spawn position , not a certain one, though as said this can change.

[Jnr4817 215]

You did help me, I went back and looked at the credits.sqf and I listed you.

 

Thanks
