Is this Possible?!

[Pro_Speedy]

Hello,

 

I am wandering if this would be possible: 

 

To have a wasteland type map system, i will provide a picture it will be easier to show what i would like :D

 

 

VERY ROUGH SKETCH!!!

 

But i hope you guys understand the concept would this be possible to have an area on the map marked and change if there is a player in the area?

 

Thanks in Advanced!

I get what you're saying and I know what you're talking about, but why would you want this in Dayz?

You may think it's not a good idea but me and my players think it is a good idea.

 

Because it probably will promote PvP and is a better system than having 'players near' on debug monitor tbh

If you have any idea how to do this i would really appreciate it

 

Thanks

It's what your community wants and what you want I guess...

 

If I where you I would see if you could look through the wasteland files and find something in their.

You could maybe create a sensor for the areas in description.ext like in the safezones (You are now entering safezone abc).

And if the sensor triggers you execute a script which counts up or down a public variable. If the variable is > or < x then change the custom marker you have there. Something like that could be working I guess.

I am no expert.. If anyone or yourself could make me a template for something like this or get it working i will appreciate it. Might be able to send a small $5 :D

 

Thanks for the help

For the marker:

 

//Cherno

_marker = createMarker ["_Cherno", [Position]];

_marker setMarkerColor "Colorblack";

_marker setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";

_marker setMarkerBrush "Solid";

_marker setMarkerSize [300,300];

marker = _Cherno;

 

Not tested, give me a call if it works. Play around a bit with the MarkerSize, since it won't be enough for Cherno.

I'm a total noob i wouldn't know how to do this tbh. I know it would be related to Mission.sqm but that's all

 

Thanks

Bump?

I guess nobody who does not also want this would invest hours to script, test, script, test,...until that works just to present you a working code on the tablet ;)

And being a noob does not hurt...what hurts is taking the time to read a lot and learn scripting with trial & error. If you don't want that or don't have the time I'm afraid you need to wait until someone also find this interesting enough.

Thanks for this i knew it would be easily portable from Wasteland!

 

Would this work no problem w/ InfiSTAR before everyone starts getting banned?

 

Thanks a lot EbayNOOB!!

[Pro_Speedy]

Well i already get awful server performance (any suggestions with that pls tell me) 

 

I would say stick with server side

 

Thanks alot for this will test on my next restart <3

[Pro_Speedy]

Ok, it works kind of. I wasn't sure where to put the text in the variables i put it near the top.

 

The red circles show sometimes on the map but no grey markers show (not for me at least)

 

Thanks Again!
