Need a fix: teleporter script disrupting objects

[Bitchmaker 10]

Hi. I have created a multiplayer coop mission that uses many teleporters to simulate entering and leaving underground bunkers.  The teleporters work fine except for the fact that when characters use them and arrive in a room with many objects (such as furniture, monitor screens, supplies, etc.), those objects immediately fly all over the room in a giant disordered mess.  The players do not actually come in contact with the objects; their arrival into the room seems to be the cause (even objects 20 meters away will be disrupted).  All of the objects in question have 'enable simulation' and 'enable damage' unchecked. I have no idea why this is happening.  Anyone have a clue?

Not sure if it matters, but the teleport script I am using runs in the init of a bunker object and looks like this: 

this addAction ["Exit the Habitat", {  
(_this select 1) setPos (getMarkerPos "entrance1");  
}];

Thanks!!

Added info: using Zeus to teleport players into the rooms also causes the objects to be disrupted.  Evidently, it's not just the script.

Any time I place decorative objects or objects with any possibility of being "accidentally" moved/knocked over, I lock them in place.

 

Place a game logic/invisible helipad/whatever anywhere you want. This is just an immovable object that no one will ever see. Name it - I generally name it "anchor_01". 

 

As you place new objects, paste this snippet in their init field :

[this, anchor_01] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative; 

No more chaos!

Harzach, that's amazing!  I've never heard of this function before.  Thanks so much for the info.  I'll edit the mission tonite and let you know how it works out.

 Harzach, Im getting the following error message:

'...anchor_01] call  BIS_fnc_attachToRelative|#|; }'
Error Missing ;

Any ideas why (gonna go out on a limb and say I did something wrong 🙂  )?

Not your fault, it's the forum copy/paste bug. Best practice is to type things out yourself, or at least do a quick check by re-pasting any code into a code block here to see if there are any corrupted characters, see here:

 

Any red dots indicate a corrupted character.

Harzach, this fixed the problem. My mission is now chaos free! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

No surprise, don't know a function that didn't receive his treatment,  heh.

Good work, he did.
