FIX WALL HACK

 

edit init.sqf

 

 

 

Also, I fixed so that you don't get teleported to the other side of the car when towing because it can be used for bugging in to buildings.

 

and add repair sound:

	[player,20,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies; // Alert nearby zombies
	[1,1] call dayz_HungerThirst; // Use some hunger and thirst to perform the action
	[player,"repair",0,false,10] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
	// Attach the player to the tow truck temporarily for safety so that they aren't accidentally hit by the vehicle when it gets attached
	/*
	player attachTo [_towTruck, 
		[
			(boundingBox _towTruck select 1 select 0),
			(boundingBox _towTruck select 0 select 1) + 1,
			(boundingBox _towTruck select 0 select 2) - (boundingBox player select 0 select 2) + _offsetZ
		]
	];
	*/

	//player setDir 270;
	//player setPos (getPos player);
	player playActionNow "Medic"; // Force the animation

This is awesome @F507DMT. Can you please fork the repo (https://github.com/matt-d-rat/mf-tow/fork) and open a pull request to my repo with your changes so that I can include them into the next official release. When I get a chance (sorry for being quiet recently... lots of personal stuff going on in my life at the moment) I will also assist in trying to find a fix for your fix :-)

Done! https://github.com/F507DMT/mf-tow

Need help whitch addEventHandler

 

ideas:

1. Speed limit if u tow! some like this code:

_veh   = vehicle player;
_reduc = 1.0050;
_aaa = true;
while {_aaa} do
{
_veh setvelocity [((velocity _veh) select 0)/_reduc, ((velocity _veh) select 1)/_reduc, ((velocity _veh) select 2)];
sleep 0.05;


};

 

 

2. chouse what car i want Tow

Awesome, can you issue the pull request from your fork onto my repo so I can approve it into the official release.

 

I like these ideas, I thought about how we could emulate an objects mass and effect the speed of the towing vehicle. Needs exploring, but certainly if more people contribute to the project things will get released quicker. Thanks for contribution.

[Incar]

v1.1.2

• Fixed bug which allowed players to enter towed vehicles, allowing them to ghost through walls to gain access to modular bases.
• Added a check to interupt the attaching of the tow if a player enters the vehicle during the attachment phase.

 

Just curious how that works. I've installed v1.1.2 but am still able to enter a vehicle once it's attached for towing. Does it kick them out of the vehicle if you start driving or am I doing something wrong?

 

Edit: Ok after reading through all the pages I see vehicles are suppose to lock once towed, seems they aren't locking for me so I'm gonna go over everything I've done to ensure I didn't miss something.

 

Edit 2: Everything looks right, but for some reason vehicles just don't lock once towed.

 

On another note, curious where I can find what vehicles are defined by...

{_array = ["Motorcycle","Car"];};

Just doesn't seem right I can attach a ural to the back of a hilux, unless that's another bug I'm encountering.

[F507DMT]

@matt_d_rat u cnow why addEventHandler work jast for me? i want add Event Handler to car! 

if we fix this, i easy can do speed limit

Hi,

first i want to congratulate you for your hard work.

But i have a problem and would like to know if someone else has it.

Sometimes (1 per 10 or 20 times) when i untow a vehicule it returns its initial position (where i attached it), so i dont know if i've made a mistake during the install or if any conflict....

If anyone has this problem too i would be happy not to be alone,

thx for an eventually answer and have a good day.

[F507DMT]

yes, there is! 

Needs to be fixed! 

@matt_d_rat, I think I need to do a double untow

[Eddizzle909]

Would putting this "DZE_teleport = [99999,99999,99999,99999,99999];" in the inti.sqf help with the vehicles teleporting back to the position where they were first hook on for towing??

[blueman]

Does this script do air lift also?

Just towing. If you want to do something similar for lift, I think this might be handy. I haven't tried it out yet though so can't be 100%.

ALWAYS get in the vehicle you want to tow and start engine, shut down engine, get out, attach to towing vehicle.

This happens because the position for the vehicle hasnt been updated yet in the database and towing it doesnt updated the location in the db for that vehicle, so if you untow it *poof* back at its starting point.

If you don't mind me asking... What's fixed in it?

I'm still trying to understand why vehicles don't lock for me once towed.

[Eddizzle909]

so i followed the intructions to the letter for this and made it so vehicles cant tow locked vehicles and everything is working fine  ..   but when i UNLOCK and LOCKABLE vehicle  and try to tow it it still wont let me tow it....  do i need to change something to keep locked vehicles to not be towed.... but unlocked vehicles could be towed??

[F507DMT]

many many many other fix, its like new addon))

but this bag not fix yet,

[dagg929]

Is the version on the front page still contain these glitches? The changelog says it fixes the ghosting, etc.

 

??

[Guest]

i think i have a solution for the "vehicle do not save position after tow" problem, but i havent tested it yet.

 

just insert

	PVDZE_veh_Update = [_vehicle,"all"];
	publicVariableServer "PVDZE_veh_Update";

in your tow_DetachTow.sqf after the line:

			_vehicle setvelocity [0,0,1];

Nice!
