cheers mate worked

ok so i done that and still it did not spawn i even tried removing the custom antenna and just using the original bis camp script that i modified my one from and still it did not spawn it must be to do with how i am trying to spawn it.

taliban_camp.sqf private ["_objs"]; _objs = [ ["Land_A_tent",[-2.33594,1.51538,0.0048542],48.5307,1,0], ["Land_Fire",[-3.51001,-2.67993,-0.000789642],17.7859,1,0], ["Land_A_tent",[-6.37085,1.0791,0.00257874],298.934,1,0], ["Land_A_tent",[-7.28345,-1.84814,0.00243378],276.064,1,0], ["Land_CamoNet_EAST",[-8.08618,-0.0556641,0.00974464],280.621,1,0], ["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,this addeventhandler ["killed", { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable "Target1_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"This Camp can no longer communicate with other insurgents"] call RE;}]] ]; _objs the only reason i need the antenns to have a variable is so when it is destroyed i can end that task. I think its correct i also tried this ["Land_Antenna",[-6.35962,-4.99707,0.00752831],235.023,1,0,[color="#FF0000"]"[/color]this addeventhandler ["killed", { Target1_active = 0;publicvariable "Target1_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"ThisCamp can no longer communicate with other insurgents"] call RE;}][color="#FF0000"];"[/color]] but it diddnt work keep getting missing ] error

yeah just found them lol but i do as the instructions here " http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dynamic_Object_Compositions " say and i get no positions in my rpt ---------- Post added at 21:57 ---------- Previous post was at 21:50 ---------- on my map i have a unit placed in the middle of the camp i want to make a composition in his init i have null = [getpos this,200] execVM "objectGrabber.sqf";

I have searched everywhere and found no working links so ill ask here does any 1 have a download link or can share the code in here for the objectGrabber & objectMapper scripts I need to make some custom compositions cheers guys

hi guys im after some help in improving my spawn positions script at the moment i am using this _gamelogic = center; _towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL _gamelogic, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; _RandomTownPosition = position (_towns select (floor (random (count _towns)))); _camp1_marker = createMarker ["camp1",_RandomTownPosition]; the problem is it spawn sexactly where it is meant to on the name but how can i add some random distances from this namew and random direction using this _dis = random 80; _ang = random 360; _dx = sin(_ang)*_dis; _dy = cos(_ang)*_dis; _pos = [((getpos ????) select 0) + _dx, ((getpos ????) select 1) + _dy, 0]; // or this /////////// _dist = random 300; _dir = random 360; _pos = [((getPos ????) select 0) + (sin _dir) * _dist, ((getPos ????) select 1) + (cos _dir) * _dist, 0]; so in short use the select location class with some random direction and dis from the selected location class ---------- Post added at 21:39 ---------- Previous post was at 21:17 ---------- or even more ideal would be to use this _dist = random 300; _dir = random 360; _pos = [((getPos center) select 0) + (sin _dir) * _dist, ((getPos center) select 1) + (cos _dir) * _dist, 0]; but have it check to not spawn in water or buildings also with the distance have a minimum of 300 and a max of 1000 is that possible

lol yeah its driving me made mate. ---------- Post added at 22:42 ---------- Previous post was at 22:40 ---------- ill try that cuel cheers mate. ---------- Post added at 22:50 ---------- Previous post was at 22:42 ---------- that actually works better then the find best places but i did notice that every now and then even no i set the dis to 2000 that they do spawn f the map like at 5000 ---------- Post added at 23:02 ---------- Previous post was at 22:50 ---------- nevermind that was my fualt lol that works great cuel thanks mate. ---------- Post added at 23:22 ---------- Previous post was at 23:02 ---------- cuel how would i also tell it to check for rocks i.e big bloody rocks lol like how you have "House" i searched the command ---- nearestObjects----- but found nothing regarding the House

ok so i got it working with this _pos = center; _radius = random 2000; _exp = "(1 + meadow) * (1 - sea) * (1 - houses)"; _prec = 10; _bestplace = selectBestPlaces [_pos,_radius,_exp,_prec,1]; _spot = _bestplace select 0; _spot2 = _spot select 0; _camp1_marker = createMarker ["camp1",_spot2]; _camp1_marker setMarkerType "mil_dot"; but now i wonder how can i put in direction random and minimum radius ---------- Post added at 22:28 ---------- Previous post was at 22:26 ---------- cheers marker, im using hells kitchen so only the name places work oh and there is 2 flat areas lol ;( but that function looks pretty danm good and handy to keep

yeah i have used that script in the past there was a reason i diddnt want to use it this time just cant remember what lol ill get back to that answer ---------- Post added at 22:08 ---------- Previous post was at 22:03 ---------- thats right im spawning camps and shk is awsome but it still allows spawning on buildings ---------- Post added at 22:09 ---------- Previous post was at 22:08 ---------- so say i was to go your way with fnc_randomPos = { private ["_marker", "_pos", "_dist", "_dir"]; _marker = _this; _pos = getMarkerPos _marker; _dist = random 300; _dir = random 360; _pos = [(_pos select 0) + (sin _dir) * _dist, (_pos select 1) + (cos _dir) * _dist, 0]; _marker setMarkerPos _pos; }; how can i add to check for water and buildings

ok so bit of a tricky one just wondering if some one knows how i go about getting a script to run only when the enemy East AI can see a player. The reason attempting to do a artillery script that will drop artillery on a players position when in contact with the enemy. I know there is arty scripts out there but they all require artillery battery's on the map. I have the artillery working just need to figure out how to call the script on a players position

cheers mate looking now

ok so i am spawning dynamic patrols and am trying to create some dynamic waypoints out of randomly spawned markers placed in an array but i am failing this is what i have got markers and waypoints are in red waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; sleep 10; _veh_patrol_grp = createGroup east; _veh_patrol_center = createCenter east; [color="#FF0000"] _MARKER_array = []; for "_i" from 0 to 50 do { _gamelogic = center; _towns1 = nearestLocations [getPosATL _gamelogic, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; _RandomPosition3 = position (_towns1 select (floor (random (count _towns1)))); _marker = createmarkerLocal [format ["mrk%1",random 999999], _RandomPosition3]; _MARKER_array set[(count _MARKER_array), _marker]; };[/color] for "_i" from 0 to 20 do { _veh_patrol_type = ["T72_TK_EP1","T55_TK_EP1","V3S_TK_EP1","V3S_TK_EP1","V3S_TK_EP1","V3S_Open_TK_EP1","V3S_Open_TK_EP1","V3S_Open_TK_EP1","V3S_Open_TK_EP1","V3S_TK_EP1","BRDM2_ATGM_TK_EP1","M113_TK_EP1","UAZ_AGS30_TK_EP1","LandRover_MG_TK_EP1","UAZ_AGS30_TK_EP1","BRDM2_ATGM_TK_EP1","LandRover_SPG9_TK_EP1"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _veh_patrol_gamelogic = center; _veh_patrol_towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL _veh_patrol_gamelogic, ["Hill","ViewPoint","StrongpointArea"], 25000]; // or "NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital" _veh_patrol_RandomPosition = position (_veh_patrol_towns select (floor (random (count _veh_patrol_towns)))); _spawn = [(_veh_patrol_RandomPosition), random 290, _veh_patrol_type, _veh_patrol_grp] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; //_veh_patrol_vehicle = createVehicle [_veh_patrol_type, _veh_patrol_RandomPosition, [], 0, "NONE"]; _veh_patrol_vehicle = (_spawn select 0); //_veh_patrol_vehicle setDir random 290; //_spawned = (_spawn select 1); //_veh_patrol_vehicle setVehicleInit "[""killed"",{null = this execVM 'common\newAA.sqf';}]"; //processInitCommands; [color="#FF0000"] _selectwp = (_MARKER_array select _i); _wp = _veh_patrol_grp addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos _selectwp), 0]; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointType "MOVE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointCompletionRadius 30; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setwaypointCombatMode "BLUE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointFormation "FILE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; _selectwp = (_MARKER_array select _i); _wp2 = _veh_patrol_grp addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos _selectwp), 1]; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointType "CYCLE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointCompletionRadius 30; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setwaypointCombatMode "BLUE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointFormation "FILE"; [_veh_patrol_grp,_i] setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";[/color] _cargoNum = _veh_patrol_vehicle emptyPositions "cargo"; if (_cargoNum > 0) then { _fillSlots = round (random _cargoNum); _pos = _veh_patrol_RandomPosition; _locGr = _pos findEmptyPosition [10, 100]; sleep .2; if (_locGr select 0 > 0)then { _cargo = [_locGr, East, _cargoNum,[],[],[],[],[_fillSlots,.5]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; sleep .2; {_x moveInCargo _veh_patrol_vehicle;} forEach units _cargo; }; }; if (HOG_debug) then { [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"Spawning IED + Debug ON."] call RE; sleep 0.2; _handle = [_veh_patrol_vehicle,"ptl","ColorOrange","mil_dot"] spawn TOD_debug_mkrs_fnc; }; sleep 0.5; };

sadly panther that is great but it spawns to many units / vehicles per spawn so every time it runs throught the spawn loop i get way to many units / vehicles spawned is there a way to set it to only spawn 1 vehicle per group with only all the cargo positions filled. The only reason this is important is i wanted to populate the map with patrols and only spawning 1 vehicle with the cargo seats filled allows me to have a bigger spread of patrols around the map. Hope that makes sense ;) but tell you what it was a great idea and i really appreciated the help ;)

thanks man im looking throught it now

panther, AWSOME cant wait mate thank you very much. oooohhhhhh the anticipation ;) p.s hope her team wins

im the best just starting, but i think the secound code needs to be wrapped in if isserver then { }; so only the dedi runs the script and not every player. surely that would be cousing issues also i think as you are spawning weapons on players you might need the waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; like i said i am not sure im only just starting to get a grasp on things, but thats where i would start. something like private ["_unit","_distance","_mag","_wep"]; [color="#FF0000"]waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; if isserver then {[/color] _unit = _this select 0; _distance = _this select 1; _mag = ""; _wep = ""; _targetsArray = nearestObjects [_unit, ["Man"], _distance]; { if ((side _x == CIVILIAN)and( alive _x)) then { _weaponType = ceil (random 3); switch (_weaponType) do { case 1: { _mag = "6Rnd_45ACP"; _wep = "revolver_EP1";}; // Revolver case 2: { _mag = "30Rnd_9x19_UZI"; _wep = "UZI_EP1";}; // UZI case 3: { _mag = "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov"; _wep = "Makarov";}; // Makarov }; [_x] JoinSilent Striker; _x setskill 0.6; _x reveal _unit; _x addMagazine _mag; _x addMagazine _mag; _x addWeapon _wep; _x selectWeapon _wep; _x doTarget _unit; _x SetBehaviour "Careless"; _x SetUnitPos "Up"; _x SetSpeedMode "Full"; _x SetCombatMode "Red"; _x doFire _unit; }; } forEach _targetsArray; [color="#FF0000"]};[/color]

yeah thats what im thinking Mikie ;)

think i might just add it to the units as they spawn cheers guys

na my idea was to just dynamically create 2 waypoints that the patrols will travel to and from. so each patrol will travell between there own seperate waypoints untill killed. i used 50 so i could be sure they all get different ones and spread around the map.

HOG Debug v1.0 This is a little nifty script that i made with the help from the community members on the Bis Forums, This little script will create a marker on any dynamically spawned unit / vehicle / object and will follow its target and give its direction. These markers are easily customised to the users need. Once the markers target is killed the marker will be deleted. USAGE. in your description.ext class Params { class HOGdebug { title = "Debug Y/N:"; values[] = {0,1}; texts[] = {"No","Yes"}; default = 0; }; }; Place in your init.sqf if(isNil "paramsArray") then{paramsArray = [1];}; // this is for in the editor if((paramsArray select 2) == 1) then {Hog_Debug = true;}; // this is for a server if((paramsArray select 2) == 0) then {Hog_Debug = false;}; // this is for a server HOG_debug_mkrs_fnc = compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "HOG_Debug.sqf"); Now to use the debug on any unit / vehicle / object just add the below code to the bottom of your script if (HOG_debug) then { [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"YOUR TEXT HERE + Debug ON."] call RE; //<<<<========change the sgt to your players name so you can recieve hints in the group comms channel sleep 0.2; [object,"txt","Color","type"] spawn TOD_debug_mkrs_fnc; //<<<<======== this is explained below }; Now the [object,"txt","Color","type"] part is object = this is the unit / object /whatever you need the marker to spawn on txt = this is the marker text that will be seen on the map Colour = the colour you need the marker to be type = the type of marker to create. now this is the code just create a sqf file named HOG_Debug.sqf and place //HOGdebug Script by =Mason= //creates moving markers on all units that call this script. _HOGdebugUNITS = _this select 0; _HOGdebugTEXT = _this select 1; _HOGdebugCOLOUR = _this select 2; _HOGdebugTYPE = _this select 3; _mkrName = Format ["mkr_%1",_HOGdebugUNITS]; if (HOG_debug) then { _DEBUGmarker = createMarker [_mkrName,getPos _HOGdebugUNITS]; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerType _HOGdebugTYPE; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerColor _HOGdebugCOLOUR; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerText _HOGdebugTEXT; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerDir (direction _HOGdebugUNITS); while {alive _HOGdebugUNITS} do { _DEBUGmarker setMarkerPos getPosATL _HOGdebugUNITS; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerDir (direction _HOGdebugUNITS); sleep 0.5; }; deleteMarker _DEBUGmarker; }; thanks to all who helped me out. ;) Now i hope this will help others.

man i thought it was going to be that easy but when i tried i failed had it in the wrong pos lol cheers mate.

hi i have made my self a little debug script to help me in editing dynamic things this works great however i have no idea how to delete the markers once the attached unit / object is no longer alive. the debug script is called by if (HOG_debug) then { [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"Spawning IED + Debug ON."] call RE; sleep 0.2; _handle = [_ied,"IED","ColorGreen","mil_dot"] spawn TOD_debug_mkrs_fnc; }; and this is the code _HOGdebugUNITS = _this select 0; _HOGdebugTEXT = _this select 1; _HOGdebugCOLOUR = _this select 2; _HOGdebugTYPE = _this select 3; _mkrName = Format ["mkr_%1",_HOGdebugUNITS]; if (HOG_debug) then { _DEBUGmarker = createMarker [_mkrName,getPos _HOGdebugUNITS]; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerType _HOGdebugTYPE; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerColor _HOGdebugCOLOUR; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerText _HOGdebugTEXT; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerDir (direction _HOGdebugUNITS); while {alive _HOGdebugUNITS} do { _DEBUGmarker setMarkerPos getPosATL _HOGdebugUNITS; _DEBUGmarker setMarkerDir (direction _HOGdebugUNITS); sleep 0.5; }; }; so how can i delete these markers
