Mission Bounds.

[AppleDrink 10]

i have been looking all over the internet and all over this forum to find out a way to create a mission bounds that when a player goes out of it hes is presented with a message and the trigger has a timeout of 10 seconds before it kills him.

Maybe you should take a look in Mr Murrays Editing Guide. Should also work for ArmA 2.

Try this: http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=442&game=ArmA

Written for ArmA but should still work in ArmA2

awsome thanks, i have notices there is a module called Zone restriction

but unfortunalty i have been unable to locate any information on this mod

has anyone successfully used this module

I think the zone restrictions are more for selecting areas on the map where you dont want things like civilians or animals etc to spawn if you are usig such modules.

I tried the link that norrin posted.

I simply made a trigger set to anybody and repeatedly. Then simply

this exec "boundary.sqf"

That didn't work. Then I tried

player exec "boundary.sqf"

Which worked, kinda. I hear the dialogue popup, but nothing shows up. Also, I didn't die. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Secondary to that, I want this for an MP mission to be set off by anyone. How exactly can I make that possible? Is using

player exec "boundary.sqf"

sufficient for MP? I don't know much of anything about MP editing.

Hmm I remember making something like this for a friend. Only with the difference, that when you left the combat area and guided missile fired from a nearby silo would take you down. ^^ Was rather funny to watch.

@PiNs, I havent had a chance to try this in ArmA2 so I can't guarantee its working but for a full description of how to set up the script read here: http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=30324.msg207909#msg207909

If the script is in sqf format, it should be started with execVM instead of exec.

Thank you very much norrin, appreciated. While I have gotten the script to work just fine, I ran into a problem I cant seem to figure out.

If the marker is small it is pretty precise. But when I make it huge to what I need 4000x8000 or somewhere along there, it triggers way before you are in the marked zone. I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening or how to fix it. Any ideas?

Edit:

Did some messing around, still have the problem. But just wanted to give a more precise answer.

Rectangle

Axis a:4000 Axis b:10000 Angle:45

And this happens at approx. 1800m-2000m away from the marker itself.

Its been along time since I looked at this but I seem to remember that the script may not like markers placed on angles other than 0 and 90 degrees so with this in mind can you create a couple of smaller markers that run the script, which cover the area in question. When I get a chance I'll take a look but I'm a bit snowed under just at the moment so I'm not sure when I can get to it.

This made sense to me since when I first tried the script it ran fine on a regular square marker. Only once I tilted it did I get the problem. So, tried it out, and works great now. Guess ill just use two markers no big deal. Thanks a lot man.
