loot spawner [RELEASE] Sarogahtyps Simple Loot Spawner - SSLS V-1.2

[sarogahtyp 1108]

Sarogahtyps Simple Loot Spawner - SSLS V-1.2

Spawns weapons, items and bags in buildings near to alive players maybe inside a trigger area or marker area.

 

Deletes stuff if players are not close enough anymore.
The script doesnt care about any trigger preferences except the trigger area.
Soft delayed item spawning to prevent performance impact.

 

Script reads your missions config files and should spawn loot of your mods (e.g. CUP weapons, Etc.) as well

 

DOWNLOAD V-1.2

 

DOWNLOAD V-1.1

 

Usage:

 

initServer.sqf

fnc_spawn_loot = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "SSLSv1-1.sqf";
_d = [] call fnc_spawn_loot;

you are able to stop the loot spawning script at any time by

SSLS_script_switch_off = true;

 

If you set up high spawn chances (see top of script) and have a high player count on your server then I recommend to make trigger or marker areas for spawning to get the needed performance.

But if you do not encounter performance issues then spawning loot everywhere near players should be okay.

 

Tweakable features (can be found on top of the script):

//***** EDIT BELOW TO ADJUST MAIN BEHAVIOR

SSLS_script_switch_off = false;  //if you want to stop spawning loot then set this to true at any time in your mission

_spawn_chance = 100; // (L) The chance to spawn loot inside of a specific house.

_use_bohemia_classes = true; // for spawning bohemia created stuff set this to true
_use_mod_classes = true; //// for spawning stuff from loaded mods set this to true
_debug = false;  //information about number of places where items were spawned or deleted

// if you have performance issues then consider introducing spawning areas (_trigger_array) before changing following values!
_spawn_interval = 1.5; // (H) desired runtime for the main loop. time which is not needed will be used for soft spawning or a break.

Changelog 1.1 (download)

-fixed a major bug which showed an error message during spawning

-added feature to enable/disable Mod/Bohemia classes spawning

-huge performance optimizations (shorter arrays, better smooth spawning and other stuff)

 

Changelog 1.0 (download)

-added script

[accuracythruvolume 547]

This script is really nice!  My only suggestion is could you add an option to load just BIS items, Load BIS items plus mods (basically your default), and load just mod items no BIS ones

[sarogahtyp 1108]

@accuracythruvolume thx for ur reply.

first: within the next few days Ill release a new version with huge performance improvements (10 times faster I guess).

second: your wish is noted and Ill try to realize it soon.

Description:
Spawns weapons, items and bags in buildings near to alive players maybe inside a trigger area or marker area.
Deletes stuff if players are not close enough anymore.
The script doesnt care about any trigger preferences except the trigger area.
Main while loop runs every 8-12 seconds.
Soft delayed item spawning to prevent performance impact.

How to adjust/use the script: 
_trigger_array   -> contains the names of triggers in which area loot should spawn.

_spawn_chance  ->  The chance to spawn loot on a specific house position. If the same house is the closest building to 

_item_chance -> chance to spawn an item insteadinstead of a weapon

_bag_chance -> chance to spawn a bag instead of a item

_max_magazines -> the maximum of magazines spawned in an itembox. 

_house_distance -> houses inside of this radius of a player will spawn loot

_exclude_loot -> you can add classnames there and those stuff will never spawn

_exclusive_loot -> add classnames here and nothing else will be spawned

_debug -> if true then u get hints about places were stuff was spawned or deleted and how many spawn places are active

This is a very very very cool script and a incredible nice addition to any mission!

 

Thank you @sarogahtyp!

[Tigerlover 0]

How to install it?

I copy into Arma 3 main folder, but nothing happened in mission. 

[sarogahtyp 1108]

u have to build a mission with it...

scripts are working in missions only and not by adding them to armas root folder.

[Tigerlover 0]

Thanks you.

[Tyl3r99 41]

Will try this out thank you! 

Quick question: the whitelist option if I put all the classnames I want. Will it auto detect which is a launcher which a gun etc and follow the setting for the probability values for each class 

For example if I list 3 guns, 2 uniform objects, 1 backpack. Will it know which is what 

 

[Tyl3r99 41]

or do i have to put individual classes in these arrays? 
https://prnt.sc/uche4w

Edit: I am struggling to get this to work the custom way. 
I have put a simple trigger with a radius area and named it loot in the variable name

the whitelist option if I put all the classnames I want. Will it auto detect which is a launcher which a gun etc and follow the setting for the probability values for each class 

Yes.

No. Don't touch anything below this line:  //***** EDIT ABOVE TO ADJUST MAIN BEHAVIOR

Edit: I am struggling to get this to work the custom way. 

your custom loot array has to look like this. tested and working:

_exclusive_loot = 
[
           "launch_NLAW_F",
            "SmokeShell",
            "ACE_M84",
            "11Rnd_45ACP_Mag",
            "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855A1_Stanag",
            "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855A1_Stanag_Tracer_Red",
            "20Rnd_762x51_Mag",
            "ACE_20Rnd_762x51_Mag_Tracer",
            "rhsusf_acc_aac_762sdn6_silencer",
            "HandGrenade",
            "rhs_weap_M136",
            "CUP_30Rnd_9x19_MP5",
            "CUP_1Rnd_HE_M203",
            "CUP_1Rnd_HEDP_M203",
            "CUP_smg_MP5SD6",
            "CUP_smg_MP5A5_flashlight",
            "CUP_smg_MP5A5",
            "CUP_hgun_Glock17_blk",
            "CUP_17Rnd_9x19_glock17",
            "launch_RPG7_F",
            "RPG7_F",
            "CUP_arifle_G36C",
            "CUP_30Rnd_556x45_G36",
            "rhs_weap_m4a1_carryhandle_m203",
            "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk262_PMAG",
            "sgun_HunterShotgun_01_F",
            "ACE_2Rnd_12Gauge_Pellets_No0_Buck",
            "2Rnd_12Gauge_Pellets",
            "ACE_2Rnd_12Gauge_Pellets_No1_Buck",
            "CUP_arifle_HK417_20",
            "CUP_20Rnd_762x51_HK417"

];

you have to set up the trigger array like this, just with your own trigger names. tested and working:

_trigger_array = [trigger1, trigger2];

How to install it?

I copy into Arma 3 main folder, but nothing happened in mission.

All of you:
1. You have to copy the file SSLSv1-1.sqf into your missions root folder.

2. Create a initServer.sqf file in missions root folder and copy/paste this lines into it:

private _dummy = execVM "SSLSv1-1.sqf";

3. Save the file!

4. Adjust the parameters in the header of the script file (SSLSv1-1.sqf). These are well documented (imo) there.

5. After starting the mission it could take upto 1 minute until the spawning starts. In debug mode you can see the debug hints after spawning loop is started.

 

 

New release with huge improvements is probably coming up within next few hours/days/weeks...

SSLS Version 1.2 Release

 

Fixes:

- not all possible items (like ace medical items) were spawned - fixed

- Soft Spawning delays were too long sometimes - fixed

- magazines were spawned even if they were on blacklist or not on whitelist - fixed

 

New Features and Changes:

-  rewrote complete config reading

- introduced a _no_spawn_area_array where you are able to define areas as triggers or markers where spawning will never occur

- introduced more loot categories (pistols, assault rifles, long rifles, short rifles, launchers, backpacks, weapon bags (for statics), dress items, weapon attachments, basic items (map, gps, ace medical, food etc.), misc items)

- introduced ability to adjust number of magazines spawning for each weapon category

- introduced ability to spawn all weapons stripped from their default attachments

- changed the weired spawning chance adjustment into a spawn percentage (or weight) adjustment where you are able to set a chance for each single category now

- added warnings in .rpt file and on screen in debug mode if some items are not available due to wrong settings

- added warnings in .rpt file and on screen in debug mode if performance is to low to guarantee Soft-Spawning for lag prevention

 

Additional Notes:

 

The new spawn categories dress items, weapon attachments, basic items (map, gps, ace medical, food etc.) and misc items are created by a complex filter system which will not filter as sharp as categories are named.

It could be the case that some uniforms ( or something else) is not in category dress items but in basic items or similar behaviour. This is due to a filtering by occurance of phrases in classnames of the items or their parents.

I guess I know a better solution now but sometimes you want to deliver instead of fiddeling around again.

Also this filter system has to do very much work on initializing phase of this script. Therefore it can take up to a minute after mission start until spawning begins.

 

triggers/markers which are set up in _no_spawn_area_array have a higher priority than those in _spawn_area_array. This means if you have a no spawn trigger/marker inside a spawn trigger/marker then no items will spawn in the no spawn area but items will spawn in the surrounding spawn area.

Sounds good but is not entirely true. Just make your no spawn areas somewhat bigger then you think 😉

 

I will change first post when I feel like it.

 

Have fun!

Hi guys. I have a problem with the loot inside the houses. When I walk in and see the loot, I can't take it. It seems like they become simple objects on the map and I can't take them, the option to take them does not appear. Please I need any suggestions. Thank you.

How can I hide the hint for me and other players from seeing this?          

[Myla Pingarelli 0]

could this be done in a singleplayer environment? like the init.sqf and not the initServer.sqf?

Of course.  In single player, your machine is the server.
