Animated Heli Crashes Not Spawning Loot

[Tricks]

Hey guys, I am using animated heli crashes from http://opendayz.net/threads/epoch-animated-heli-crashes.15051/, but they have stopped spawning loot since the SteamID update. Anyone have any thoughts?

Here is an error I am retting in my RPT:

I was hoping someone would share the fix to this same problem here.

I dont think it has anything to do with the steam ID update but rather the latest version of Epoch.  I havn't started using the Steam but right after update cant seam to get it working.

I have exactly the safe , tried a couple of things suggested on here but nothing seems to resolve it

loottable structure has changed ... you need to replace some lines in crashspawner module

    _config =        configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable;
    _itemTypes =    [] + getArray (_config >> "itemType");
    _index =        dayz_CBLBase find toLower(_lootTable);
    _weights =        dayz_CBLChances select _index;
    _cntWeights = count _weights;

with this

    if (DZE_MissionLootTable) then {
        _itemTypes = [] + getArray (missionConfigFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable >> "lootType");
    } else {
        _itemTypes = [] + getArray (configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable >> "lootType");
    };
    _CBLBase = dayz_CBLBase find (toLower(_lootTable));
    _weights = dayz_CBLChances select _CBLBase;
    _cntWeights = count _weights;

and replace this

        _index = floor(random _cntWeights);
        _index = _weights select _index;
        _itemType = _itemTypes select _index;
        [_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;

with this

        _index1 = floor(random _cntWeights);
        _index2 = _weights select _index1;
        _itemType = _itemTypes select _index2;
        [_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;

last step, make sure that following vars are registered as private _index1, _index2 and _itemTypes - look ontop of file and add them or replace the line with this one ...

private["_index1","_index2","_itemTypes","_timeAdjust","_timeToSpawn","_spawnRoll","_crash","_hasAdjustment","_newHeight","_adjustedPos","_useStatic","_crashDamage","_lootRadius","_preWaypoints","_preWaypointPos","_endTime","_startTime","_safetyPoint","_heliStart","_deadBody","_exploRange","_heliModel","_lootPos","_list","_craters","_dummy","_wp2","_wp3","_landingzone","_aigroup","_wp","_helipilot","_crash","_crashwreck","_smokerand","_staticcoords","_pos","_dir","_position","_num","_config","_itemType","_itemChance","_weights","_index","_iArray","_crashModel","_lootTable","_guaranteedLoot","_randomizedLoot","_frequency","_variance","_spawnChance","_spawnMarker","_spawnRadius","_spawnFire","_permanentFire","_crashName"];

hope that helps... cheers

Appreciate the post but its still not spawning loot for me hope this fix works for someone.

Worked!! Thank you so much!!

^^ okay, here is the complete module... tested 12h on map Utes - some changes made - read comments.

 

cheers

[shrapnel]

Thanks jOoPs, That worked to get our loot spawning again :)

[bigbadabing]

Thanks again Joops for sharing seams to be working again.

[Caveman1]

wow. Thanks JOops. This is better than the original. awesome.

 

Would be cool to also add some static AI in there.

[DaBi]

Thanks for this script, but does anyone know how i can delete the craters that spawn in with the wreck?

[jOoPs]

after aircraft-explosion an object called "CraterLong" will be created... it should be possible to remove it. il take an eye on it - this weekend.

 

cheers
