multiplayer [Release] PAC: Playable Area Control script

[thy_ 131]

🙂

PAC is a script for ARMA 3 that provides a full solution to control the map limits for players in multiplayer (Coop, PvP, TvT), preventing players from leaving the mission area.

 

Creation concept: to be super easy to implement and customize, compatible with any mainstream mod, and functional for all types of servers: coop missions, PvP, and TvT.

 

How to install / Documentation: https://github.com/aldolammel/Arma-3-Playable-Area-Control-Script/blob/main/_PAC_Script_Documentation.pdf

 

What to expect from PAC script:

 

• No dependencies from other mods or scripts;

• PAC functions are in server's side (run once), but the checking (looping) is on the client's side;

• Easy installation: the playable area is defined by one named trigger added on the Eden Editor;

• The editor has the option to allow or not air vehicles (including drones and parachuters) to be tolerated when outside the playable area and on air;

• The editor has the option to allow or not minimum speed restriction if there's air-tolerance out of the playable area;

• The editor has the option to allow or not to notify the player about rules if they break some;

• Full documentation available.
