2. How to add a Custom texture respawnable uniform on players or units

For Player :

initPlayerlocal.sqf

[] execVM "GF_Custom_Uniform\GF_Custom_Uniform_init.sqf";

create a folder ex :

GF_Custom_Uniform

inside the GF_Custom_Uniform:

GF_Custom_Uniform_init.sqf

[] execVM "GF_Custom_Uniform\GF_Uniform_Prisoner\GF_Uniform_Prisoner.sqf";
//	or	#include "GF_Uniform_Prisoner\GF_Uniform_Prisoner.sqf";

create a folder ex :

GF_Uniform_Prisoner

inside the GF_Uniform_Prisoner:

GF_Uniform_Prisoner.sqf

GF_Uniform_Prisoner = {

_Unit = _this select 0;

removeUniform _Unit;
_Unit forceAddUniform "U_C_WorkerCoveralls";
[_Unit,[0,"GF_Custom_Uniform\GF_Uniform_Prisoner\GF_Uniform_Prisoner.paa"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture",0,true];


_Unit addEventHandler ["Respawn", {
	params ["_Unit", "_corpse"];
	removeUniform _Unit;
	_Unit forceAddUniform "U_C_WorkerCoveralls";
	[_Unit,[0,"GF_Custom_Uniform\GF_Uniform_Prisoner\GF_Uniform_Prisoner.paa"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture",0,true];
}];
};

[player] spawn GF_Uniform_Prisoner;

GF_Uniform_Prisoner.paa or .jpg

-.paa is always prefered.

Ravage Zed Detector

This script "converts" the mine detector into a basic zed detector.

Player must have a mine detector in their inventory, bring up the Zed Detection HUD by pressing the "[" or "]" keys. (or whatever keybinds you have for the Custom Info Panels)

zedDetector.sqf

Spoiler


//zedDetector.sqf
if(!isDedicated) then {
	private _mineClass = "DemoCharge_Remote_Ammo";
	CMD_run = true;
	private _nearObjects = [];

	while { CMD_run } do {
		private _newObjects = (player nearEntities [["zombie"], 50]);

		{ 
			private _mine = _x getVariable ["CMD_attachedMine", objNull];
			deleteVehicle _mine;
			_x setVariable ["CMD_attachedMine", nil];
		} forEach (_nearObjects-_newObjects);
		
		_nearObjects = _newObjects;

		{
			if( !(player isEqualTo _x) && (vehicle _x isEqualTo _x) ) then {
				private _mine = _x getVariable ["CMD_attachedMine", objNull];
				if(abs speed _x >= 3) then {
					if(isNull _mine) then {
						_mine = _mineClass createVehicleLocal getPos _x;
						_mine attachTo [_x, [0,0,0]];
						_mine hideObject true;
						_x setVariable ["CMD_attachedMine", _mine];
						if(group _x isEqualTo group player) then {
							playerSide revealMine _mine;
						};
					};
				} else {
					if(!isNull _mine) then {
						detach _mine;
						deleteVehicle _mine;
					};
				};
			};
		} forEach _nearObjects;

4. How to create a trigger that counts the number of zombies in its radius and spawns a new horde if there are too few

Is it possible to have a trigger that counts the number of zombies in its radius and spawns a new horde if there are too few?

Where I'm going with this is, I've been putting hordes in cities. It's a great effect, but eventually they get depleted, particularly if an AI vehicle patrol comes by.

I haven't looked, but I bet the module is already calling a function, so I could have a trigger that does the same thing. What I'm unsure about is counting the existing ones.

Thanks.

I'll see what I can do for another update, meanwhile yes, you can do this with a repeatable trigger :
condition check (set it to "any player, present" with a short timer) :
this && (({_x inArea thisTrigger} count (entities [["zombie"], [], false, true])) < 5)
onActivation :
[_pos, _type, _fastNum, _hordeSize, _hordeRadius, _triggerRadius, _hordeBehaviour, _z_uniforms] spawn rvg_fnc_horde_spawn;
Params :
_pos = spawn pos, you can use "position thistrigger"
_hordeType = possible values are "Runners", "Walkers" and "Both"
_crawlersFactor = percentage of bolter zombies
_hordeSize = number of zeds
_hordeRadius = how far zeds spawn from _pos
_triggerRadius = player distance check before zed spawns
_hordeBehaviour = True or False. If true, spawns a group of zombie units instead of agents. False is recommended
_uniforms = Array of uniforms for this horde, or empty string

I usually also add a zombie safe zone (so the AI aren't constantly shooting zombies near their base). Is there a way to add the safe zone within trigger code rather than putting down the safe zone system?

You can create a zedBlacklist zone via a trigger...

]; 

player addEventHandler ["Take",{

and inside you can add your code , for example :


//A3\Missions_F_EPA\data\sounds\combat_deafness
playSound"combat_deafness";

[] spawn 
{		
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectEnable true;   
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [20];   
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 0;     
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [0.0];  
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 12;  		
};	

sleep 3.5;
cutText ["","BLACK FADED",2];

titleText ["<t color='#ff0000' size='6'>You are Dead!</t>", "PLAIN", -1, true, true];

10. How to make Ravage zombies drop items when killed:

I used GF Drop Loot script as a base , heavily edited it & removed gear , weapons , grenades and attachments drops from it , since I wanted zeds to drop only basic items (i.e Ravage mod items).
I've put this code in to the Killed EH , inside the Ravage Ambient Zombies module (screenshot attached) placed in my mission:

Spoiler


_Systemchat_Debug_Enabled						= false;			
_12_Drop_Items							= true;         

_unit = _this select 0;
			
_Ravage_items = selectRandom [		
			
			"rvg_plasticBottleEmpty",
			"rvg_canteenEmpty",
			"rvg_hose",
			"rvg_sleepingBag_Blue", 
			"rvg_foldedTent",
			"rvg_rustyCan",
			"rvg_Geiger",
			"rvg_canisterFuel_Empty",
			"rvg_toolkit",
			"rvg_tire",
			
			"rvg_money", 
			"rvg_notepad", 
			"rvg_docFolder",
			"rvg_canOpener",
			"rvg_guttingKnife", 
			"rvg_matches",
			"rvg_plasticBottle",
			"rvg_plasticBottlePurified", 
			"rvg_spirit", 
			"rvg_franta",
			"rvg_beans", 
			"rvg_bacon", 
			"rvg_milk", 
			"rvg_rice",
			"rvg_antiRad",
			"rvg_purificationTablets",						
			
			"rvg_money", 
			"rvg_notepad", 
			"rvg_docFolder",
			"rvg_canOpener",
			"rvg_guttingKnife", 
			"rvg_matches",
			"rvg_plasticBottle",
			"rvg_plasticBottlePurified", 
			"rvg_spirit", 
			"rvg_franta",
			"rvg_beans", 
			"rvg_bacon", 
			"rvg_milk", 
			"rvg_rice",
			"rvg_antiRad",
			"rvg_purificationTablets",
			
			
			"Mask_M40_OD",
			"Mask_M40",
			"Mask_M50"
			];
			
_addItemCargoGlobal_Array_1 = selectRandom [	

	_Ravage_items
];	


if (_12_Drop_Items) then {	

if (_Systemchat_Debug_Enabled) then {

};
	
						
_Drop_Items_Amount =   1;
_Drop_Items = "WeaponHolderSimulated" createVehicle (getpos _unit); 

_Drop_Items addItemCargoGlobal [_addItemCargoGlobal_Array_1, _Drop_Items_Amount];
			
};

Yes I know you can make it better , delete irrelevant stuff, but it was made as a quick solution and a pilot zombies loot drop script. Just wanted to try the basic way and use Killed EH without calling for script from init. I tried to make it work this way, cause the original way was not working for me on Exilemod integrated live server.

Additional things I would love to add/see:
- Make it so not every zombie drops loot , only x% of the time.
- Make specific items have higher chance of drop then the others.
- Find a way of making the items appear under the body or as inventory of the dead zed (vanilla way) and not as a dropped item (sometimes feets away from the body).

All credits to @GEORGE FLOROS GR for his easy to understand script.

Hello there chernaruski !

Thanks for sharing this code !

First you can add a possibility chance by adding in your code :

//________________    add _possibility    ________________

_possibility            = random 10 < 3;

if (_possibility) then {
	<code>
	};

Use the code above with multiple arrays with the certain possibility chance .

It is possible to do this , but i didn't do that because , as i checked , the most of the times you can't see the dropped item , but you can also instead add the code from the script to add in the inventory of the unit , the items ( uniform - vest - bags )

I don't remember to be honest if it's working this with ravage zombies though.

It probably will.

# in case you check it , please confirm this !

Thanks !

Code optimization:

Fellow scripters,

If you are like me and have no coding background, then you might to end up with a project that you have been putting together for months maybe years. Learning to code in the process.

It is time to review your old code!

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Code_Optimisation

I read through the article and already noticed quite a lot of things that I did wrong or could be optimized in my VA mod, maybe this will help you too.

If you are not as messy as I am, you might have familiarized yourself with above prior to releasing a mod - good for you:)!

Cheers

13. Check if player kills members of his own side, CIVS or certain animals and make him a renegade for that:

This is based off a solution that Grumpy Old Man posted here in BIS forums. I altered it for my purposes which are to punish the player for killing each of the three entity groups and regarding the animals I tested it with the warefarethai mod cows.

The code goes into init.sqf:

Spoiler

addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled",{

params ["_killed", "_killer", "_instigator"];

if (typeOf _killed isKindOf "CAManBase" AND _killer isequalTo player AND side group _killed isequalTo civilian) exitWith {"MURDERER!!!" HintC ["You have killed an unarmed and peaceful human!"]; player addRating -10000;};

}];

addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled",{

params ["_killed", "_killer", "_instigator"];

if (typeOf _killed isKindOf "CAManBase" AND _killer isequalTo player AND side group _killed isequalTo independent) exitWith {"TRIGGERHAPPY KILLER!!!" HintC ["You have killed a non-hostile Survivor!"]; player addRating -10000;};

}];

addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled",{

params ["_killed", "_killer", "_instigator"];

if (typeOf _killed isKindOf "COREV_Animal_Cow" AND _killer isequalTo player) exitWith {"ANIMAL KILLER!!!" HintC ["You have killed a defenseless farm animal!"]; player addRating -10000;};

}];

Farm animals, especially dairy animals, IMHO would be held in high regard after an apocalypse, therefor the high punishment. But change as you see fit, maybe CIVS hightest punishment, then armed, but friendly survivors a little less and lowest punishment for the barnyard animals.

This is based off a solution that Grumpy Old Man posted here in BIS forums. I altered it for my purposes which are to punish the player for killing each of the three entity groups and regarding the animals I tested it with the warefarethai mod cows.

IMO a player should be penalized only if another player or AI witnessed the killing. So maybe you should ckeck for near humans and check their knowsAbout value and distance to the killer.

Generally you are right; especially in a world without any institutional system of justice, no witnesses means no persecution. In my missions I found, although per chance and unintended, a nice workaround: if the above script is used together with this unarmed takedown script, it goes like this:

a) Use a weapon and receive punishment

b) Use the silent takedown and get away with your crime

But I'll try if I can find an improvement for the "murder" script along the guidelines you suggested. THX for the input! :icon14:

Thanks for listening! Its just an idea. But I think especially in a SP mode, if I'm surviving and want to butcher a goat without being seen, its an immersion breaker to have everyone in the world consider me an enemy later.

I definitely like your silent takedown ideas too.

On a related note, one thing cool about open world games like GTA and Red Dead Redemption, is having some NPC remember you for a witnessed deed later. That is cool, immersive, and impressive when it happens. To implement that, we need to add negative (and positive?) encounters to NPC specific variables (or NPC clan specific variables). So the next time the NPC or his Clan sees you they react: "Get that goat rustler!" or "Need some food? I appreciate your help fighting those bandits.". Etc. I guess what I'm getting at is player reputation with an individual NPC, or reputation with a Clan/Group of NPCs. Easy for me to say, as I'm too busy on other projects to contribute to this...haha.

Oh no, more ideas are coming in dammit! ... I can't stop them...

Real time Wanted Poster: Once player is flagged as a bad guy, create wanted posters by projecting a camera on signs or posters placed here and there. It could be real time by creating a unit, and you set his face, uniform, and headgear to match the player. And set enableSimulation false, and place the unit in front of some generic background. This would have to be an out of the way location, and could even be done 10000 meters up in the air. Point a camera on the poster unit face, and broadcast the camera on any "Poster" Signs placed in game. Text on Poster could be customized real time also with Player Name. These posters can be pre-set up with a generic .paa/.jpg of some character, then replaced later with live camera when Player actively becomes a bad guy.

Wouldn't it be cool to walk into a town and see your face and name on a wanted poster? (Then you would know how I feel every time I go to the post office.)

LOL, I know what u mean! Whenever I get caught at speeding, the photos of me in the car they send me as proof make me look like a really, really badass killer enroute to his next job... :rofl:

@Gill93, funnily enough I toyed with Bomber Boss Zeds for my Sirens mission but ditched the idea, feel free to use the code in the video, obviously it's based on individually named units via triggers...
Condition: s1 distance z1 <10; 

Activation: Bomb="M_PG_AT" createVehicle (getPos z1);

I tested it out and its pretty awesome for how simple it is by chance would you happen to know how to directly add radiation sickness to player directly with same trigger im having trouble figuring that one out thanks 🙂

Not sure how to do that. ^^

But if your following my above video example you could:

add a rad zone trigger,

add a game logic trigger,

the game logic trigger will attach the rad zone to the zed,

when zed is dead the rad zone is spawned giving instant rad sickness to player...

15. How to script a safe zone marker that deletes any unit (besides player) entering it

Here is a different approach and working now as tested with zombies.



GF_SZ_Delete = {

	while {true} do {
		waituntil{uisleep 1;	

			_centerposition = _this select 0;
			_size = _this select 1;

			_nearestobjects = nearestObjects [_centerPosition, ["CAManBase"],_size];

			{
			if (
				//(_x isKindOf "Bandit_Renegade")  
				//or(_x isKindOf "zombie")
				(_x isKindOf "Man") 
				&& !(isPlayer _x)
				)then{
				deleteVehicle _x;
				};
			}forEach _nearestobjects;			
			systemchat"delete";
		};
	};
};


//	use distance ex : 50
//[getmarkerpos "marker_1",50] call GF_SZ_Delete;

//	use the size of the marker
[getmarkerpos "marker_1",getmarkerSize "marker_1" select 0] call GF_SZ_Delete;
