wingnutwn 10 Posted March 14, 2021 I'm trying to create _x barracks, make them destructible and set markers on them. I can make the barracks and save the positions in an array, I can't seem to make markers on them (only 1 is creating) and they buildings are not destructible. So any of you real coders want to write up some code I would sure appreciate it so I can learn how to do it, if its even possible. Maybe I'm trying to do too much in one "for "_i" from 1 to _numwnbarracks do {"? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4879 Posted March 14, 2021 Usually, it's better to provide your code. This way, people can help you on error or bad scripting. Here, we can't guess how do you create your barracks, on which position, which map, which mod, when... Help for being helped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4879 Posted March 15, 2021 Your script should start with the marker creation... I can't see createMarker. You probably added it in editor (empty one) then work it with this script..; If your marker exists in editor, it's useless to change the type, brush, dir, color.... You just have to play with alpha (transparency) . set it to 0 in editor and >0 when you want to see it on map. missionNamespace setVariable ["wn_barracks_pos",[]]; is same as: wn_barracks_pos = []; wn_barracks = _numwnbarracks; ???? you just set it [] so from where come _numwnbarracks ??? If not defined (here) it's subject to error. That's for starting. So your code, as is, is inconsistent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnutwn 10 Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks Pierre, and I love you addons! So I got the code to work and do what I want it to do. wn_barracks = _numwnbarracks; for "_i" from 1 to _numwnbarracks do { _wn_b_marker = format ['Bunker_%1',_i]; _loc = [_ESSAreaMkr, 50] call ESS_fnc_findSafePos; _marker = createMarker [_wn_b_marker,_loc]; _wn_b_marker setMarkerType "mil_objective";_wn_b_marker setMarkerText "Barracks";_wn_b_marker setMarkerAlpha 0.4;_wn_b_marker setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; wn_barracks_pos append _loc; _wn_barracks = createVehicle [selectRandom _temparraywnbarracks,_loc]; _wngrpb = createGroup [east, true]; _wngrpb1 = _wngrpb createUnit [selectRandom _temparrayUn, _loc, [], 0, "FORM"]; _wngrpb1 moveingunner _wn_barracks; }; Now I need to figure out how to make the _wn_barracks = createVehicle [selectRandom _temparraywnbarracks,_loc]; which are to bag_bunkers to be destroyable. Then I can figure out how to do a !alive bag_bunker count thing. Anyways thanks for looking at it, and if you have any ideas on how to set the attributes in the above scope to make them destroyable please let me know. I'm thinking I need to give them each a variable just like the markers so I can "check them"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4879 Posted March 15, 2021 wn_barracks = _numwnbarracks; . this line seems to me useless, except if you need wn_barraks inside some other code (sqf, different scope...) Be sure _numwnbaraks is OK, by a hint from debug console : hint str _numwnbaraks should return an array of .... for "_i" from 1 to _numwnbarracks do { _wn_b_marker = format ['Bunker_%1',_i]; _loc = [_ESSAreaMkr, 50] call ESS_fnc_findSafePos; _marker = createMarker [_wn_b_marker,_loc]; _wn_b_marker setMarkerType "mil_objective";_wn_b_marker setMarkerText "Barracks";_wn_b_marker setMarkerAlpha 0.4;_wn_b_marker setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; wn_barracks_pos append _loc; _wn_barracks = createVehicle [selectRandom _temparraywnbarracks,_loc]; _wngrpb = createGroup [east, true]; _wngrpb1 = _wngrpb createUnit [selectRandom _temparrayUn, _loc, [], 0, "FORM"]; _wngrpb1 moveingunner _wn_barracks; } For From To code starts at 0 and ends at total -1 elements, as any array is indexed from 0 to last element (count array -1) There are too many things to note in your bit of code. So, let's say your are spawning some bag bunker... (which class? we don't know anything about _temparraywnbarracks). Why are you scripting : _wngrpb1 moveingunner _wn_barracks; ???? _wn_barraks is an array, not a vehicle! Well, I think this code is not yours and you don't have any clue of what you're doing. I'm not sure of what you want with your bag bunkers but some objects don't have a destroyed (ruin/wreck) model. So, make them destructible just means hiding them... if you know how to decide they are destroyed. Your project is far too much imprecise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnutwn 10 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Harsh, I like it. Yeah I'm old and teaching myself at least I just learned that I can setpos of _wngrpb1 to _loc rather then moveingunner from this and I should hint my variables. I'll get there maybe someday - maybe.

I wanted to make barracks which I'm using " _wnbarracks_type = ["Land_BagBunker_01_large_green_F", "Land_BagBunker_Large_F"];" code pulling from another script to randomly pick one or the other and placing it on a random position. Ultimately when the barracks is destroyed it would give you points. Good talk and thanks for the motivation! Edited March 17, 2021 by wingnutwn Maybe I should have given more information.

pierremgi 4879 Posted March 17, 2021 Spoiler use spoiler please (the eye in the edit bar) The good news is that you can inflict damage on your bunkers... even if you'll never see the difference. I suggest you to apply this code on any bunker (blow it up with charges): <anyBunkerVariable> addEventHandler ["handleDamage", { params ["_bunker", "", "_damage","","","","_instigator"]; if (_damage > 0.86) then { format ["%1 has destroyed a %2",name _instigator, getText (configOf _bunker / "displayName")] remoteExec ["hint"]; _bunker hideObjectGlobal TRUE}; _damage }]; Run it on server. As test, for any edited bunker, replace <anyBunkerVariable> by this and write the code in init field of the object. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
