Safezone loop

[schadler17 36]

Basically I'm trying to create a loop for my safezone script. I want it to simply check the distance between the player and a marker on the map, and if its more/less than 250, perform the scripts needed.

 

I had it looping through a trigger before, but I wanted it strictly through a script using a marker instead, just so you can see the area of the safezone.

_safezone = "westSafezone";

waitUntil {(player distance (getMarkerPos _safezone)) < 250} do {

     systemChat "You are in a safezone";

}:

waitUntil {(player distance (getMarkerPos _safezone)) > 250} do {

     systemChat "You are not in a safezone";

}:

Theres more too it of course, already got the system scripted, just need it to be called/looped in a manner thats not gonna consume too much processing power.

Fixed.

 

Pretty easily fixed, here's the end result. Can be called for in each players init or through initPlayerLocal.sqf.

[player] execVM "scripts\safezone.sqf";

// Safezone Script
// Written by Schadler.C

private ["_safeZoneDamageEH", "_safeZoneFiredEH", "_safeZoneVehicleFiredEH", "_safeZoneVehicleDamageEH", "_type", "_projectile", "_projectileName"];

_safeZone = getMarkerPos "westSafeZone";
	
while {true} do {

	waitUntil {_safeZone distance player < 250};
		
		sleep 2;
		hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#FF0000'>SAFEZONE!</t><br/><br/>You have entered the safezone!<br/>Firing your weapon or throwing grenades is prohibited!"];
		player allowDamage false;
		_safeZoneDamageEH = player addEventhandler["HandleDamage",{false}];

Customize the magazine types to the ones you need, Im using RHSUSAF mags.

Script will remove current magazine ammo, grenades, or explosives that the player wants to use after deleting the projectiles to prevent firing/throwing/etc multiple times in safezone.
