Admin Impound Vehicle via button

[Steel_Dragon 30]

Hi i am running Altis Life v5.0.0.0

I am setting up my admin menu with buttons so the admins have access to functions fast.

 

I am looking for a way for the admins to impound a Vehicle via the button.

Impound rather than destroy as the players will lose their vehicles.

 

I have a button setup in my admin menu.

 

Thank you

Hello @Steel_Dragon.

 

I'm not familiar with Altis Life but I will try to help if I can.

What have you got so far?

Hi thanks for the reply - This is what i have tried calling from a button

- deletevehicle cursortarget (This deletes the vehicle - but i would like it to impound instead)

-  i have tried to call the fn_impound from the button (but im guessing that there are police checks involved)

- I have tried - this [Impound vehicle, deleteVehicle car1];

none of these really work i would like to make some thing from this script below but i keep breaking it - 

 

#include "..\..\script_macros.hpp"

Button - 

        class impoundVehicle : Life_RscButtonMenu {
            idc = 2918;
            text = "Impound";
            onButtonClick = "[] call life_fnc_adminImpoundAction";
            x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY
            w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.035 * safezoneH;
        };

 

Thanks

added button code

[Steel_Dragon 30]

Trying to think outside the box - in the actionkeyhandler.sqf  where the cops get the cop menu on win key i added this (admin check) for the admins - 

 

//If target is a player then check if we can use the cop menu.
if (isPlayer _curObject && _curObject isKindOf "CAManBase") then {
    if ((_curObject getVariable ["restrained",false]) && !dialog && playerSide isEqualTo west || (FETCH_CONST(life_adminlevel) > 1)) then {
        [_curObject] call life_fnc_copInteractionMenu;
    };

        if ((!(_curObject getVariable ["restrained",false])) && !dialog && playerSide isEqualTo civilian) then {
        [_curObject] call life_fnc_copInteractionMenu;
    };

 

If i can give the admins the cop interaction menu - the admins have access to - Impound, restrain and a few other features.

As I don't have the whole mission I can't test anything.

I have found a Life Framework by the same author but I don't know if you have a more up to date version.

Try looking at the vehicle and in the debug console use:

[cursorObject] call TON_fnc_impoundAction;	//	TON_fnc, or whatever tag the functions are using.

 

Anything happen?

[Steel_Dragon 30]

in the admin_menu.hpp added this to the button to try and avoid the playerSide isEqualTo west check in the actionkeyhandler.sqf - it just closes the dialog - 

 

        class impoundVehicle : Life_RscButtonMenu {
            idc = 2918;
            text = "Impound";
            onButtonClick = "[] call life_fnc_copInteractionMenu; closeDialog 0;";
            x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY
            w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.035 * safezoneH;
        };

        };

Why are you trying to bypass the playerSide isEqualTo west check? Are you not BLUFOR?

Try this:

        class impoundVehicle: Life_RscButtonMenu {
            idc = 2918;
            text = "Impound";
            onButtonClick = "[this] call life_fnc_impoundAction; closeDialog 0;";
            x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY
            w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.035 * safezoneH;
        };

Do you have a link to the mission you are using?

i'll give it a go now, thanks (I'm using - V5.0.0. - https://github.com/AsYetUntitled/Framework

[Steel_Dragon 30]

ok i used [cursorObject] call Life_fnc_impoundAction;

and the vehicle disappeared and returned to my garage, this is exactly what im looking for... i'll try it with the button

 

class impoundVehicle: Life_RscButtonMenu

{

idc = 2918; text = "Impound";

onButtonClick = "[cursorObject] call Life_fnc_impoundAction;";

x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;

y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY

w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;

h = 0.035 * safezoneH;

};

 

would it be as above?

i am trying to give the cop interaction menu to the admins also - this would save having alot of buttons in the admin menu

It would give the admin - Restrain, Impound and all the other cop menu items

[Steel_Dragon 30]

class impoundVehicle: Life_RscButtonMenu

{

idc = 2918; text = "Impound";

onButtonClick = "[cursorObject] call Life_fnc_impoundAction;";

x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;

y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY

w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;

h = 0.035 * safezoneH;

};

 

works thank you very much for your guidance....

Ah, right.
I'm not too familiar with dialogs... I could never really get my head around them.

 

From what I understand, you need to create a new button for to open the cop interaction.

[Steel_Dragon 30]

Yes i was just using the impound button to test it.

 

        class interactiveMenu : Life_RscButtonMenu {
            idc = 2918;
            text = "Menu";
            onButtonClick = "[this] call life_fnc_copInteractionMenu; closeDialog 0;";
            x = 0.54125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.715 * safezoneH + safezoneY
            w = 0.0680 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.035 * safezoneH;
        };

 

testing this one atm
