_hasmags = (({_x == "2000Rnd_762x51_M134"} count (magazines player)) >= 2); The reason it wasn't working was because you were performing the same check twice without editing the player's inventory in between checks. So if they only had 1 item the first check would return true, they would keep the item, then the second check would also return true. The code I provided here will work just fine for you.
 
EDIT: Sandbird's suggestion is the way to go, but note there is a tiny oversight in there-
if (_mgQTY == 2 and _isalb) then { Should ideally be-
if (_mgQTY >= 2 and _isalb) then { Else, player's with more than 2 mags on them will not get the option which isn't logical.

Do it like this:
 
_isalb = cursorTarget isKindOf "AH6J_EP1_DZE"; _mgQTY = {_x == "2000Rnd_762x51_M134"} count magazines player; if (_mgQTY == 2 and  _isalb) then {     if (s_player_litl < 0) then {         s_player_litl = player addAction ["add M134 ammo x2","custom\littlebird.sqf",cursorTarget, 0, false, true, "",""];     }; } else {         player removeAction s_player_litl;         s_player_litl = -1; }; Dont forget to add : s_player_litl = -1;   in your variables.sqf
And also "_isalb","_mgQTY"  at the top of your fn_selfactions.sqf inside the private declaration

Any way to make it so you can add ammo to this bird from your gear like all the other DZE heli and trucks?  I do not want them to be permanently armed like the DZ version, but I want it to be a viable weapon on my servers arsenal.

I wrote a virtual garage system for our servers :)  I will think about releasing it but it is not finished yet and it uses extDB.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teIyjZK0qhc&list=UUBL3yQOfqF66ijA8CP6jpCg

I have been playing Epoch for about 3 months and I have never had a tame dog or seen anyone with one. So I thought rather than chasing after one with some raw meat, I would do it the easy way.
I had no idea how the dogs worked so I just looked at the Epoch files and throw this basic script together. I am sure that it is not perfect and it has only been used for a very short time on my test server.
I was intending to create some custom scripts for the dog to give it some actual purpose. But I don't really have the time at the moment.
I did create a little script which made the dog bark every 5 seconds if there was another player or zombie within 100m. But I am sure that there are better uses for the dog.
You could have a dog spawn when the player spawns or let players buy a dog. There is a dog kennel in the editor.
On my test server I was just spawning the dog with a bar of gold.
The script will probably need a bit of tweaking if you are going to put it on a live server.

Script.

I like the idea so I just tried this and it worked
you could easily change sound to another existing sound 
or a little harder to a custom sound
copy from dayz_code player_unlockVault.sqf
in compiles.sqf change
player_unlockVault = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\player_unlockVault.sqf"; in player_unlockVault.sqf
line 71
change the "tentpack" to another existing sound like  combo_unlock
 
change this line 
[player,"tentpack",0,false] call dayz_zombieSpeak; //change to this [player,"combo_unlock",0,false] call dayz_zombieSpeak; //change "tentpack" to any existing sound combo_unlock.ogg is a quick sound playsound "metalGates"; // add your custom sound here sleep 5; or  use a custom sound add it to description.ext
 
 
class CfgSounds { sounds[] ={metalGates}; class metalGates { name = "metalGates"; sound[] = {sounds\metalGates.ogg,0.3,1}; titles[] = {}; }; }; //[player,"tentpack",0,false] call dayz_zombieSpeak; playsound "metalGates"; call dayz_zombieSpeak; I will try to explain better if you need me too
 
you can find all the existing sounds  look for 
dayz_sfx.pbo
 
 
you could also try something like this from dayz_code/compile/player_packTent.sqf
 
I "THINK" this would allow other players to hear the sound effect
_dis=20; _sfx = "tentpack";  //change this to whatever sfx you like... [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak; [player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;

Download a tool called ASG and use that addon it puts objects into categories

you mean like this one ???
 

 
I believe this was sandbirds work... not sure if he ever released it or if it was only on his servers...
he also has a great keychain script
 
have not seen either released ;(

Always when locking a vault I'm thinking how ridiculous it is to have this zipper sound.
So my vault is locked pulling a zip all around? :rolleyes:
 
So the question is, if it's possible to change the sound to something other.
Steel slamming door would be awesome! :)

This is another kind of Vehicle Locator.

Script adds a right-click option to an vehicle key in the gear menu.

The script searches for the vehicle belonging to this key in a near range and marks the vehicle (via sign/light) if found.

If not found in the near range a full map search will be done and if then found a map marker will show where the vehicle is located.
 
Everything is configurable and well documented.
 
The video shows how it works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhUoLVYeAK8


The script ( vehicle_pointer.sqf ):




 
Create a file vehicle_pointer.sqf with the content above and place it somewhere in your mission.
 
 
New: The script - Masterkey version ( vehicle_pointer_mk.sqf ):
 
This is a version which works with 1:n relations between key and car(s) (so, 1 master key for several vehicles). If you do not use the Mayterkey mod use the normal vehicle_pointer.sqf.
(As for this version the searches for vehicles cannot be stopped after already finding one (as there could be more for this key) the search always goes over all vehicles available which could cause some longer runtimes the more vehicles are on the map!)
 



 
Create a file vehicle_pointer_mk.sqf with the content above and place it somewhere in your mission. In ui_selectSlot.sqf you set the path to this script.
 
 
ui_selectSlot.sqf (custom):
 



 
This needs to be added into ui_selectSlot.sqf (you need to make that custom). The path pointing to the script needs to be adjusted!!
If you do not already have any other right click option scripts (or Macas right clickt options method) it would be pasted below:
_array = getArray (_config >> "output"); _outputClass = _array select 0; _outputType = _array select 1; _name = getText (configFile >> _outputType >> _outputClass >> "displayName"); _compile = format["_id = ['%2',%3] %1;",_script,_item,_array]; }; _menu ctrlSetText format[_type,_name]; _menu ctrlSetEventHandler ["ButtonClick",_compile]; }; and above this:
_pos set [3,_height]; //hint format["Obj: %1 \nHeight: %2\nPos: %3",_item,_height,_grpPos]; _group ctrlShow true; ctrlSetFocus _group; If you have other right click content already in ui_selectSlot.sqf then copy it below Maca's right click option (if available) and above other one(s) like Remote Vehicle Door Opener.
 
 
Let me know for any battleye restrictions to add this here. I got no kicks while testing, so you may have different files.
And any feedback is also always welcome.
 
There is an bug with createVehicleLocal for some objects which might spam your RPT log:
https://dev.withsix.com/issues/25648

if your meaning the Bike deploy script then check player_deploy.sqf around Line 382 / 392

The trick is in getting the pieces to connect together properly.
 
I have these working on my server.  Not sure any other server has these working

I need another opinion from everyone:

I have added an action menu to the tool for players (this is optional so don't worry, if you don't want it just turn it off). The menu allows the users to contact an admin for help, this puts them in a help queue that the admin can then view and teleport or remove players from the help queue. This will help with some serious chat spam annoyances many admins face.
 
The opinion I need here is should I upgrade this further or leave it as it is?
 
I had an idea to create a dll file that will allow players to give a 300 word description of their issue and save it to a text file on the server (incase an admin is not online). Any online admin can open the help queue gui and select a player name to see the ticket information and choose to teleport, delete, or send a message. This isn't necessary, but I feel it could be useful for some people. The real question I am having is if anyone would find this upgrade useful.

Hello everyone,
 
I created a module to lookup the database ObjectID number for vehicles and constructed objects. I have a new Overpoch server with the Single Currency addon installed. The traders are configured using static files instead of the database. So adding the new Overwatch vehicles that spawn in the world to the traders used to require a lot of manual work to identify the variant of the vehicle. Used to have to ask people to go stand by it, and compare worldspace coordinates between the player and vehicles. It would literally take 5-10 minutes of work just to identify one vehicle in the database, just so I could see it's name and add it to the trader menu. With this tool it takes all of 5 seconds.
 
[uPDATE 24/10/2014]
This tool now looks up the Classname of the object and display's it in addition to the database ID and display name. New file attached to post. Will update the screenshots tonight.
 
How does this tool work?
The tool is located inside the Admin menu and is added as a new menu option The player looks at the vehicle/object they want to get the database ObjectID for and selects "Point to Identify" from the Admin Menu section The script looks at whatever is in the player's crosshair and looks up it's display name, ObjectID, and it's Classname. It displays this information on screen as cutText Installation Instructions:
Download the attached "identifyObject.zip" file Extract the "identifyObject.sqf" file from the ZIP Place "identifyObject.sqf" in the "tools" folder inside your Mission file's admintools folder Edit your "AdminToolsMain.sqf" and look for the "AdminMenu" section Find:
["Point to Delete(Perm)",[],"", -5,[["expression",format[_EXECscript1,"DatabaseRemove.sqf"]]],"1","1"], And place the following on a new line below:
["Point to Identify",[],"", -5,[["expression",format[_EXECscript1,"identifyObject.sqf"]]],"1","1"], (OPTIONAL) Repeat Step 5 for the "ModMenu" section if you want your moderators to have this ability
 
 
identifyObject.zip

IN OVERWRITES\clickactions\config.sqf
just add your custom right clicks
you see near bottom
DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS = [
["ItemKnife","gather the Budz","execVM 'custom\hemp.sqf';","true"], ["ItemKiloHemp","smoke the Chronic","execVM 'custom\smokeshit.sqf';","true"]

thankz for that....
just trying to find out of dzms,dzai and WAI  whats spawning roaming AI that roam around and kill my whiny ass playerz
I personally like the constant fear. but I feel it may be scaring away alot of my playerz....
unfortunately only found in dzai to disable them
DZAI_dynAISpawns = false;
 
nothing in wai or dzms to disable them
 
and I always need to find certain words in  folders soo this will help.. thanz for the help.......
now I dont have to open every file to find certain words 

CTRL + F --> Search in files --> Search for: "YOUR SEARCH", Replace with: "Keep blank", Filters: "Keep blank",Folder: The folder where you want to search (DZMS folder).

I think that will be your DZAI , Look in DZAI/init/dzai_config and around line 118 find this DZAI_dynAISpawns = false; if this is set to true then Roaming AI will spawn just turn it off as in false

Give them a location array should do it, here are my old Taviana locations, all in sensible places covering both islands.
 
find on each mission file :

_position = [30] call find_position;  
replace with

Awesome work there. Cant wait for the first release. 
 
How do you always come up with all these ideas? :D
 
Would it also be possible to buy more items with only one animation, e.g. you want to buy cinder blocks ând have the option to buy "50" with only one animation.

I figured out that if you have a custom fn_selfActions.sqf you also need to go in and change the locations for the remove.sqf otherwise it wont work.

has anyone seen a script that would move loot from exploded vehicle to scatter around the ground
 
example....
I'm driving and hit a tree my vehicle explodes, all the loot in its inventory is scattered around the ground .
 

First of all huge thanks to script (and everyone else credited), amazing work.
Another credit goes to Chris for making Infistar AH, it's an invaluable tool and time saver when developing scripts. 
And finally credit also goes to Gaia for releasing Debug Console
 
To install debug console, simply copy/paste PBO into your Arma2OA\expansion\addons folder
Launch your game in SP or in MP (set verifySignatures to 0 in your config)
Press ESC > Enter ... to open console.. as simple as that

To add the owner as default to the doors on placement, edit your Player_Upgrade.sqf
 
Locate this:
player reveal _object; Paste the following code underneath:
_friendUID = getPlayerUID player; _friendName = name  player; _friends = [[_friendUID,_friendName]] ; _object setVariable ["doorfriends", _friends, true]; PVDZE_veh_Update = [_object,"gear"]; publicVariableServer "PVDZE_veh_Update"; PVDZE_veh_Update call server_updateObject; This can be cleaned and i'm looking forward to your complete version Zupa :)

Sorry for the delayed reply, there is 2 variants i have on my github, 1 with Indestructibles for 1.0.5.1 and P4L and one without either mods just the upgrades, if you wish to use just Indestructibles for 1.0.5.1 then use my standalone variant and add in Indestructibles for 1.0.5.1 manually, if you use both additional mods then just swap out your files with mine
