I am creating some IED's objects and need to add the following to the Init , is this correct ? create Objects.. blar blar blar _ied setVehicleInit "null= [this,100] execVM "scripts\InitIED.sqf"; processInitCommands;

Many thanks Great Script , very happy now !

OK now and again I am getting the following message " UPS group all dead or surrender" Then i get now more AI spawning ?

OK trying to mod Insurgency Mission to my needs , anyone know how I can spawn at a certain location at the start for players and Mobile ? as i would like to start at a bases that i have build rather than at a random location. Thanks

is there a way to to spawn players and Mobile in a certain location at the start , instead of a random location ? as i would like to start at a main base Thanks

Very nice !

For some reason dropbox just opens the file , weird , but i can see the scripts and it looks like you are using your script not the one i posted ?

Yep that would work , there would be a lot going off !

This works in MP & on Dedi Add this to SILVIE Module BIS_silvie_mainscope setvariable ["vehicleInit",{[_this] execVM "carbomb.sqf";_this lock false}]; then carbomb.sqf _object = _this select 0; _value = random 100; //Change 30 to what ever you like test with 100 ! if (_value < 30) then { _blowup = false; while {alive _object} do { // include vehicles _targetArray = nearestObjects [(getPos _object), ["MAN", "LandVehicle"], 10]; if ((count _targetArray) > 0) then { { if (str(side _x) == "WEST") then { _blowup = true; }; } forEach _targetArray; }; if (_blowup) then { //HINT "CAR BOMB....."; if (isServer) then { [nil, nil, rHINT, "CAR BOMB...TAKE COVER"] call RE; }; // player commandChat "CAR BOMB....." ; sleep 5; _boom = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (position _object); } else { sleep 10; // change to tweak wait time before checks }; }; };

Sorry to bump but still having no joy , and would appreciate any help

I am selecting a random Town but I need it to not be near to my marker i.e "Respawn_west" so approx 1200 away How can i do that ? _towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL player, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital","StrongPoint"], 15000]; _pos = position (_towns select (floor (random (count _towns))));

_towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL player, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital","StrongPoint"], 15000]; _myTown = mhq_safe; /// object at start position _minDistanceFrom = 1200; _filtered = []; { if (_x distance _myTown > _minDistanceFrom) { _filtered set [count _filtered, _x]; }; } forEach _towns; _pos= position _filtered select (floor (random (count _filtered)));

Getting an error but cannot work out why ? Error in expression <_x distance _myTown > _minDistanceFrom) { _filtered set [count _filtered, _x]; }> Error position: <{ _filtered set [count _filtered, _x]; }> Error Missing ;

Without your code it is hard for anyone to help ! however I use this for vehicles - written by SHK works for JIP & on Dedi and after respawn - is awesome as it even changes the color if the vehicle is damaged and shows a timer until respawn. you could try that ? SHK_vehicleMarker.sqf // nul = [this] execvm "SHK_vehicleMarker.sqf"; // nul = [Vehicle,MarkerIconType,MarkerColor,WreckTimer] execvm "SHK_vehicleMarker.sqf"; if !isdedicated then { if (isnil "SHK_fnc_VehMrk_showHint") then { SHK_fnc_VehMrk_showHint = { hint parseText format["<t align='center'>Vehicle Lost</t><br/><br/><t color='#3366FF'><img size='4' image='%2'/></t><br/><t color='#FFCC33'>%1</t>", getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeOf _this >> "displayName"), getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeOf _this >> "picture") ]; }; }; if (isnil "SHK_eh_VehMrk_showHint") then { SHK_eh_VehMrk_showHint = ""; "SHK_eh_VehMrk_showHint" addpublicvariableeventhandler { (_this select 1) call SHK_fnc_VehMrk_showHint; }; }; }; if !isserver exitwith {}; private ["_veh","_typ","_col","_tmr","_pos","_txt","_str"," _mrk","_dmg","_crw","_man","_wrc","_tim"]; _veh = _this select 0; _typ = if (count _this > 1) then {_this select 1} else {"mil_dot"}; _col = if (count _this > 2) then {_this select 2} else {"ColorOrange"}; _tmr = if (count _this > 3) then {_this select 3} else {180}; _veh setvariable ["SHK_VehMrkWrecked",false]; _pos = getpos _veh; _str = format ["SHK_VehicleMarker_%1%2%3",typeof _veh,(_pos select 0),(_pos select 1)]; _mrk = createmarker [_str,_pos]; _mrk setmarkeralpha 0; _mrk setmarkershape "ICON"; _mrk setmarkertype _typ; _mrk setmarkercolor _col; while {sleep 2.345; true} do { if (isnull _veh) exitwith {}; if (count crew _veh > 0) exitwith {}; if (damage _veh > 0.8) exitwith {}; }; while {sleep 0.567; !isnull _veh} do { _mrk setmarkerpos (getpos _veh); _dmg = damage _veh; _crw = crew _veh; if (count _crw > 0) then { _man = _crw select (count _crw - 1); _txt = _man getvariable ["SHK_VehMrkGrp",str group _man]; } else { _txt = ""; }; if (_dmg <= 0.2) then { _mrk setmarkeralpha 1 }; if (_dmg > 0.2) then { _mrk setmarkeralpha 0.5 }; if (_dmg > 0.8) then { _mrk setmarkercolor "ColorBlack"; _txt = format ["%1 (Wrecked)",_txt]; _wrc = _veh getvariable ["SHK_VehMrkWrecked",false]; if _wrc then { _tim = _tmr - (time - (_veh getvariable "SHK_VehMrkWreckTime")); private ["_h","_m","_s"]; _h = floor(_tim / 3600); _m = floor((_tim/60)-(_h*60)); _s = floor(_tim mod 60); _txt = format ["%1 %2:%3:%4",_txt, if (_h < 10) then {format ["0%1",_h]} else {_h}, if (_m < 10) then {format ["0%1",_m]} else {_m}, if (_s < 10) then {format ["0%1",_s]} else {_s} ]; } else { _veh setvariable ["SHK_VehMrkWrecked",true]; _veh setvariable ["SHK_VehMrkWreckTime",time]; SHK_eh_VehMrk_showHint = _veh; publicvariable "SHK_eh_VehMrk_showHint"; if !isdedicated then { _veh call SHK_fnc_VehMrk_showHint; }; }; }; _mrk setmarkertext _txt; }; deletemarker _mrk; Also works with tophes vehicle respawn as Iceman recommended

Thanks If i want to use a marker would I have to use getmarkerpos ? _myTown =getmarkerpos "respawn_west"; or an object _myTown = objectName

testing on a dedi , will give that a try thanks Yep that done the JOB !

This will do what you need, just change the _dis to what distance you are looking for _dis = 250; _ang = random 360; _dx = sin(_ang)*_dis; _dy = cos(_ang)*_dis; _positionToSpawnIn = [((getmarkerpos "yourmakername") select 0) + _dx, ((getmarkerpos "yourmarkername") select 1) + _dy, 0]; _upsgrp1 = [1,_positionToSpawnIn,1,["yourmarkername","spawned","showmarker","delete:",120]] execVM "SCRIPTS\UPSMON\MON_SPAWN.SQF";

WOW now that is an answer !!! All sorted out works a treat !

I have a timer that I am using that Ends the mission when it runs out however, If they finish it before the times runs out I need to know how long they took , how would I be able to work that out ? If they finish before the timer runs out i execute "timerout.sqf" that simply displays stats using Titletext, so i need to pass the remaining time to that , just not sure how ? ////run from SERVER not client as using marker///// _hour = 2; _minute = 30; _second = 0 ; while {true} do { if (_second == 0 AND (_minute > 0 OR _hour > 0)) then { _second = 59; if (_minute > 0) then { _minute = _minute - 1; } else { if (_hour > 0) then { _hour = _hour - 1; _minute = 59; }; }; } else { _second = _second - 1; }; "Time_left" setMarkerText format["Timeleft = %1 : %2 : %3",_hour, _minute,_second]; sleep 1; if (_hour == 0 and _minute == 0 and _second == 0) THEN { ////END mission and show Scores as no time left no need to work out time taken //// []execVM "timerout.sqf"; }; };

I am trying to make a marker for Just EAST to see on the Map but it does not show and i get no error ? (its spawns in the crate No problem) _ammobox = createVehicle ["GuerillaCacheBox",getmarkerpos "marker_clear", [], 0, "NONE"]; if ((side player) == EAST) then { _markerstr = createMarkerLocal["Ammo Crate",getpos _ammobox]; _markerstr setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON"; _markerstr setMarkerTypeLocal "DOT"; };

Having an issue with battle eye for some reason - running on Linux and getting this it is a new install, all works apart from Battle eye and RCON any help would be much appreciated ! .rpt 13:26:37 Dedicated host created. 13:26:38 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.170) 13:26:38 Host identity created.

OK so this should work should it not ??? or am i missing something ? as I still do not get any Marker for EAST ? if (isserver) then { _towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL player, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital","StrongPoint"], 20000];

Well i never knew that I presumed if it was on the server they would also be able to see & reference it ! So I cannot use a Variable "_Pilot" would i have to change all my code to TAG_Pilot to PV it ? i.e ? _grp = createGroup WEST; _pilot = _grp createUnit ["US_Soldier_Pilot_EP1", _pos, [], 0, "FORM"]; _pilot setCaptive true; _pilot setHit ["hands",1]; _pilot setHit ["head_hit",0.4]; _pilot setHit ["body",0.5]; _pilot playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon"; _pilot disableAI "MOVE"; _pilot disableAI "ANIM"; _pilot setVehicleInit "this addaction ['Capture', 'scripts\capture.sqf', [],1,false,true,'','((side _this) == west)'];"; processInitCommands; publicVariable "_pilot"; if ((side player) == EAST) then { waitUntil {!isNil "_pilot"}; _markerstr = createMarkerLocal["Pilot",getPos _pilot]; _markerstr setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON"; _markerstr setMarkerTypeLocal "DOT"; _markerstr setMarkerTextLocal "Pilot Location"; }; or would that not work ?

Hmmm this is strange as it still will not work on Dedi server, we get no markers still ? if (isserver) then { My code I need to spawn etc.. on server }; if ((side player) == EAST) then { _markerstr = createMarkerLocal["Pilot",getpos _pilot]; _markerstr setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON"; _markerstr setMarkerTypeLocal "DOT"; _markerstr setMarkerTextLocal "Pilot Location"; }; if (isserver) then { My code I need to spawn etc.. on server };

I need away to make only Bluefor be able to shoot my pilot ( it would be by mistake ), as i do not want any Playable EAST to shoot him as it is mission over if they do so need a way to stop it. _grp = createGroup WEST; _pilot = _grp createUnit ["US_Soldier_Pilot_EP1", _pos, [], 0, "FORM"]; _pilot setCaptive true; _pilot setHit ["hands",1]; _pilot setHit ["head_hit",0.4]; _pilot setHit ["body",0.5]; _pilot playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon"; _pilot disableAI "MOVE"; _pilot disableAI "ANIM"; _pilot setVehicleInit "this addaction ['Capture', 'scripts\capture.sqf', [],1,false,true,'','((side _this) == west)']"; processInitCommands; removeAllWeapons _pilot;
