Hi chisel,
Here are two missions that I have made for FMission. You are welcome to them.
Death Wish

The loot example in this template has 2 loadouts to choose from, you can add as many as you want. The more you add the more
variety you will have.
Each addition will use a block like this:
[
["DMR","NVGoggles","Binocular_Vector"],
["20Rnd_762x51_DMR","20Rnd_762x51_DMR","20Rnd_762x51_DMR","ItemSodaMdew","ItemSodaR4z0r","ItemAntibiotic"],
["DZ_Backpack_EP1"]
], <---- The , is NOT needed on last loot block, see example below where the , is only used to separate the
first block from the second block. There is no , at the end of the second block as it is the last block in
the list.

I'm glad it helped. The survivor companions add another dynamic to the game. I like it.
-
Didn't know you could direct them to drive/fly...cool stuff :)
Yep, I use the tilde key "~" to bring up the commands. Then order them to get in the vehicle by pointing at it with the cursor (gun) and selecting "Get In [vehicle]". I get in last and let the AI take the driver/pilot/gunner seats. Bring up the map to the general area for your destination location and move the map cursor to your destination point. Next, highlight the "Move There" option with the scroll wheel and hit enter. You should be on your way. If you are in a helicopter the pilot doesn't land it when you arrive. It hovers over that destination point. If you want to land there, select the "Disembark" option from the command menu. The pilot will land there and get out after landing.
-
I did some testing with the Survivor AI. They can drive (somewhat reckless) and they can fly. I recruited one AI to fly, then we flew up to the NEAF and picked up two more AI. I rode in the back of the Blackhawk to observe on the way back to my base. The door gunners were active firing off a burst here and there and the pilot keeps it low and fast. This reminds me of Daizy (single player mod) in a MP environment. I'm going to try an AI mission with them later today. This mod is really cool. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here. Persistent AI? Buy units at a trader? Custom units, etc.
-
I got SC working this morning. Lots of fun! It looks like aimbot carnage up at the NWAF. LOL
:)
-
I'm going to try to clean up the loose ends this morning. I ran out of time to get it finished when I had to leave for work yesterday. Will do gopostal. I've been meaning to stop by your TS and say hi anyways. Did you resolve the BE kick when you dismiss an AI survivor? I think it was waypoint restriction #0 or something like that.
From playing some ArmA2 and ArmA3, the AI seem a little difficult to manage at first, but it got easier. I like some of the possibilities with this mod. Even if I can use them as pack mules to help clean up the loot at mission sites it will be helpful. It can't hurt to have them lay down some cover fire.
-
Okay thanks for your help fr1nk!
-
I want the survivors to kill zeds. This part of the OP is a little confusing:
Now if you want the zeds to be killed by the survivors you will need to create a custom zombie_generate.sqf file and
add a single line to it near the very end of the script, there are plenty of examples of how to edit your compiles script to point to a new file
This is the compiles.sqf line you need to make point to your new file
zombie_generate = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\zombie_generate.sqf";Do I need to create an additional zombie_generate.sqf file? My compiles.sqf file already has this line of code:
zombie_generate = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\zombie_generate.sqf";
I edited the original zombie_generate.sqf file. The only thing that I have changed is this:
At the bottom of zombie_generate.sqf right above
//Start behavior
_id = [_position,_agent] execFSM "\z\AddOns\dayz_code\system\zombie_agent.fsm";
add this
_agent addRating -1000000; -
Installed, works on 1042 Epoch. Getting BE kicks on "Dismiss", need to finish working through fixing those tonight but on a quick test this seems to run as intended. Nice work OP.
I got the BE kick when I used "Dismiss" unit. Other than that it looks good. I want the Zeds to be killed by the survivors, so I'll add that last bit of code tomorrow.
-
Is this mod designed to work on the Chernarus map? I recall reading a post in the thread regarding Survivor AI spawn points at Gorka and Klen. It looks really interesting. I'm going to install it tonight and check it out. Thanks!
-
Wouldn't God mode prevent the user from being overburdened?

Following is a heavily commented mission I pulled from my custom stuff. It should go a long way to help server admins create their own missions. It's really not that hard if you can follow some basic ideas of map location and logic flow.
// This is meant as an example script and should not be used in your mission folder.
//It's main use it to explain all the different sections and what to change depending on
//what you want to do. If you have further questions please don't hesitate to drop me a
//line. My email is [email protected]
//This mission is meant to be used on the Napf map and so will not work right on any other.
//Let's begin, shall we?
// This is the variable declaration section. These are the vars used in the following code. You MUST
//declare your variables here for them to replicate properly from server to client. Mostly you won't
//need to edit anything in this.
private ["_playerPresent","_cleanmission","_currenttime","_starttime","_missiontimeout","_vehname","_veh","_position","_vehclass","_vehdir","_objPosition"];
// This sets the class name used for the _vehclass variable.
_vehclass = "UH1H_DZE";
// Here the vehname is declared depending on what you set the vehclass above as

To be honest it all became a bit much and I turned it off. Too much shooting and craziness considering the amount of missions and patrols I run on the server.
Good point.

Running an Epoch server you see players come and go. When they leave the server for good, their base remains on the map. I was an admin for an Epoch server prior to getting my own. One of our tasks was to do a base clean up every 2 weeks or so. We would spawn in Vodniks, Attack Helis and use satchel charges to bring down bases.
Today I used the Base Destruction option in the Admin Tools for the first time. Set the Center, Set the Radius, Show the Dome and finally Destroy everything inside the Dome. The vacant base was cleared in less than 5 minutes. Freaking great! I love these tools!
:)

I hope you get that sorted Charlatan. The need to travel out to B.S.I by boat adds a certain charm to the experience.
-
Hey Foamy,
Any chance of getting those code blocks that you talked about? I would like to continue creating missions.
Thanks!
-
Would it be possible to use customSpawns.sqf to spawn in both friendly and enemy AI? One thing I like about SARGE AI is when you spawn in on your server there is already a battle going on between the opposing factions of AI. It just oozes ambience when spawning into a war zone and it gives you the feeling that you are just a small part of the bigger picture. If it can be done, I'll spawn in some opposing factions nearby my base.
-
Sad that its not compatible with DZAI, I really wish to use it with it.
I'm currently running DZAI air patrols/vehicle patrols along with the WAI missions on my Napf server. It seems to work fine as far as I can tell. The missions spawn in and the air and land patrols go about their business.
-
I really like Wicked AI. The way it works, the config, etc. Nice job Markk311!
Thanks!
:)
-
I may try this for something new. Do the clients need to do anything special or is it all handled server side?
Thanks!
:)

I nearly had a similar accident using delete. I put up light poles on the 4 corners of my barn that I use for a base. With the lights inside and the lights outside, it was way too bright. So I decided to delete the light poles outside. The first pole was no problem. The second pole, the cursor saw my barn rather than the light pole. It was working on deleting my base and I quickly moved to save it. I pay really close attention to the delete message for this function. You have 5 seconds or so to react if you change your mind.
-
I use a warehouse for a base of operations on one of my servers. Can I use the 3D Editor to place objects in a room? I would like to add some chairs, a table, crates, etc. so the office area is not so sterile looking and has the appearance of being lived in. Can it be done?
-
I'm curious. How big are those ogg files? Does it add significantly to the load time?
-
No. You place units in the 3D editor and save it as a mission. Then, you can get the coordinates from that mission file for the AI system you are using to place static AI units.
This worked great and it looks like the quickest way to get multiple coordinates on the map. Thanks again!
DB Query to remove unused vehicles from the map?
in Scripting
Posted
I would like to run a query to periodically remove unused vehicles from the map. It doesn't matter if they are locked or not, but I don't want to delete vehicles that belong to active players. So for example, if a vehicle has not been used for more than 14 days it would be deleted. Mostly, I'm looking for a quick solution to clear all of the older map spawned vehicles.
