Topolka Dam and Beyond

[Clayman 20]

Ever asked yourself what's the purpose of a dam that does..... nothing?

Don't want to see dirty coal powerplants anymore and looking for nice, clean power?

Then this might help a little bit:

Topolka Dam with animated water effects, sound and funky lights!

Description:

Adds water and sound effects aswell as a small river with rapids to the Topolka Dam on Chernarus.

Available as Addon Version or Script Version.

Addon Version

Required Addons:

• Comunity Base Addons
  

Usage:

The script automaticly checks if the player or a camera object is near the dam. So normally you don't have to do anything.

However, there are several global variables to modify different parameters of the effects.

Open / Close Gates:

To open / close any of the gates at any time in your mission set these global variables to true (open) or false (closed):

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate1

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate2

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate3

Turn Nightlights On / Off:

You can turn the nightlights on / off at any time during your mission by setting this global variable to true (lights on) or false (lights off):

CLAY_TopolkaDam_lights

Change Color / Brightness of the nightlights:

The nightlight objects can be addressed via

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light1

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light2

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light3

Use these with the setLightColor, setLightAmbient and setLightBrightness commands.

e.g.

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light1 setLightBrightness 0;
CLAY_TopolkaDam_light2 setLightColor [0,0,1];
CLAY_TopolkaDam_light3 setLightAmbient [1,0,0];

To check if the script has initialized (for whatever you might need this) check the variable

CLAY_TopolkaDam_initDone

e.g.

waitUntil {!(isNil "CLAY_TopolkaDam_initDone")};
waitUntil {CLAY_TopolkaDam_initDone};
Hint "WOW! Look at those awesome effects!";

Script Version

Required Addons:

• Mapfact Editor Upgrade V1.0 (MAP_EU.pbo)
  

Usage:

Copy the description.ext, CLAY_TopolkaDamEffects.sqf, CLAY_TopolkaDamSound.sqf and the folder sound to your mission folder.

(NOTE: The included init.sqf is just an example. In this demo mission it does nothing. It's just to show you how to pass additional parameters to the script.)

To use the script, simply place the following code into an unit's init line, a trigger or a script:

nul = [] execVM "CLAY_TopolkaDamEffects.sqf";

To deactivate the script and remove all created objects (river, rocks etc.) use:

CLAY_TopolkaDamFX = false;

You can place a trigger around the Topolka Dam area, which starts the script whenever the player is near

and quits the script once he leaves the area:

Size a/b: 500 / 800 (or whatever you want!)
Activation: Everybody OR side of player (e.g. BLUFOR) OR group the trigger to the player // Repeat
On Activation: nul = [] execVM "CLAY_TopolkaDamEffects.sqf";
Deactivation: CLAY_TopolkaDamFX = false;

(See included Demo mission!)

Advanced:

You can pass several parameters to the script:

[<enable lights? | bool>, [<nightlight color gate 1 | Array - RGB>, <nightlight color gate 2 | Array - RGB>, <nightlight color gate 3 | Array - RGB>], <1st gate open? | bool>, <2nd gate open? | bool>, <3rd gate open? | bool>] execVM ...

enable lights? - Is the dam illuminated at night (true / false)

nightlight color gate 1 / 2 / 3 - Color of the lights can be set for each of the three gates. If lights are not enabled you must at least pass empty arrays! Format is [R, G, B].

1st / 2nd / 3rd gate open? - Each of the three gates can be opend / closed independently. (true / false)

examples:

nul = [true, [[0,1,0], [0,0,1], [1,0,0]], true, true, true] execVM "CLAY_TopolkaDamEffects.sqf";

nul = [false, [[], [], []], true, false, false] execVM "CLAY_TopolkaDamEffects.sqf";

Open / Close Gates:

To open / close any of the gates at any time in your mission set these global variables to true (open) or false (closed):

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate1

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate2

CLAY_TopolkaDam_gate3

Turn Nightlights On / Off:

You can turn the nightlights on / off at any time during your mission by setting this global variable to true (lights on) or false (lights off):

CLAY_TopolkaDam_lights

Change Color / Brightness of the nightlights:

The nightlight objects can be addressed via

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light1

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light2

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light3

Use these with the setLightColor, setLightAmbient and setLightBrightness commands.

e.g.

CLAY_TopolkaDam_light1 setLightBrightness 0;
CLAY_TopolkaDam_light2 setLightColor [0,0,1];
CLAY_TopolkaDam_light3 setLightAmbient [1,0,0];

Known Bugs:

• Overlaping water tiles sometimes look weird
  
• The end of the river looks quite provisional (well, it IS provisional^^) because the terrain isn't suited for anything better
  

NOTE: Make sure to either use only the Addon Version OR the Script Version.

Using both at the same time will most likely cause problems.

To do:

• Add waves moving away from the waterfall(s)
  
• Probably some other stuff I can't remember at the moment
  

Change Log:

V1.2

• Bugs fixed

V1.1

• Fixed placement of some rocks
  
• MAP_EU no longer required for Addon Version
  
• Self-initialising scripts (Addon Version)
  
• New sound for main waterfall
  
• Main waterfall sound only played when at least one gate is open
  
• Added sound to rapids
  
• Water on rapids more random (more natural look)
  
• Added vertical movement to river to simulate waves
  
• Lights have global names to access them in the editor / other scripts
  
• Turn lights on / off at any time
  
• Lights will be deleted at end of script
  

Have fun!

Greetz,

ArmAmazing addon! Love the funky lights

PS: I take the EU is needed for the water tiles, would´nt it be possible to define those in the addon versions config also?

[Binkowski 25]

Amazing! Adds immersion, love it. Downloading now!

[mcpxxl 2]

Cool thing THX a lot

[nikita320106 0]

another one amazing and OMG here)

thanx) very interesting)

[rellikki 7]

Looks very nice, but I think the little water fall looks kinda "linear". Perhaps you could try randomizing the particle sizes a bit there to make it look more natural? Otherwise a nice idea. Adds immersion, indeed. :)

[vasmkd 12]

Looks great, gives it a good look.

Now all we need is some fishing rods in the game and some carp or trout in the water:D

[cm 0]

awesome! Downloading now!

EDIT:

btw if the dam was releasing that much water it would be depleted pretty quicky lol.

[Deadfast 43]

• Find out how to delete lightpoints
  

Just use the usual deleteVehicle :)

Hi i edited your code to add new fill and empty animations to the water and added a new command line to stop the rocks vanishing on exit

Thanks for all the comments. Glad you like it. :)

PS: I take the EU is needed for the water tiles, would´nt it be possible to define those in the addon versions config also?

Yes, you're right. Why didn't I come up with that myself?^^

Going to add it in the next version.

Looks very nice, but I think the little water fall looks kinda "linear". Perhaps you could try randomizing the particle sizes a bit there to make it look more natural? Otherwise a nice idea. Adds immersion, indeed. :)

Good idea. Will give it a try. Thanks.

Just use the usual deleteVehicle :)

Already tried that, but it doesn't work.

Edit:

Hi i edited your code to add new fill and empty animations to the water and added a new command line to stop the rocks vanishing on exit

Thanks armatech. Looks interesting. Will tank a closer look later when I get home from work.

Great I love this addon, does this mean it's possible to create a real river system to chernarus ? because a country without rivers ....

[MehMan 0]

Can anybody youtube this?

[Clayman 20]

Early WiP video. I'll make a new one later (if noone else does^^).

[IAmMarshicus 10]

^ Curse you! I was just making one. Haha, I'll still put it up anyway, my channel needs a new video. =P

[Flarmapoint 2 10]

wow this looks amazing!

is there anyway of just puting the addon in a mod folder, to activate it? im no good with all (init) scripting in the editor lol

[Scrub 0]

Very awesome indeed. Thank you for this, the world is even more rich.

btw if the dam was releasing that much water it would be depleted pretty quicky lol.

(It's supplied by a humongous artisian spring, the secret source of this regions fresh water, lol)

[IAmMarshicus 10]

Okay, here's my video of it.

Sorry for the clicking sounds if they do occur. I think it's because I spilt the clips and didn't put the main dam sound over them all. I would have if I knew how to convert a .WSS to something else.

Already tried that, but it doesn't work.

Finally got home and had the time to look on the script :)

The reason why you can't delete the lightpoints is because they are undefined in the scope you're trying to delete them (local variables only exist for the scope where they are created and its children).

Put this on top of the IF where you create them (line 119):

private ["_light1", "_light2", "_light3"];

Okay, here's my video of it.

You should use showCinemaBorder false to get rid of the annoying black frame on top and bottom of the screen :)

[TimeDeatH 10]

Now we just need to be able to blow it up and have flood animations...lol.

I did, but for some reason that code no long works for me. Goes for the briefing.sqf too...

[manzilla 1]

Damn this is bad ass. Well done.

[alext223 0]

Nice pice of kit mate! Now if only we could blow it up and get the wave.

[Uziyahu--IDF 0]

Maybe the dam has a spring on the other side?

Add particles of white-water moving away from the dam, at least for a little distance beyond the "rapids". Doesn't have to be anything too fancy, just something to add the sensation of motion of the water.

Oops. Thanks Deadfast.

Never understood the meaning of this scope part, but now I think I get it. :D

Well, If someone makes a destroyable dam then I'll try to make a flood wave. ;)

Been trying to add something like that, but couldn't get it to look right yet.

But I'll keep it in mind.
