[Release] - A Plot for life v2.5. Keep your buildables on death. Take plot ownership

[cen]

I've got 2.5 version working with Snapping/Precise Build/Vector Build/Door Management but I have to add myself to the plot pole first to build, even if I place it.

 

Is there a way we can have it "automatically" add the person who places the plot pole so they can build right away?

[SchwEde]

sure thing, just add the code to your player_build_publish.sqf

Something like

if (Plotpole) then {
Add the player to the inventory of this plot
};

Do not understand :D

[SchwEde]

something like this:

(not tested!)

if (_tmpbuilt isKindOf "Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ") then {
	_tmpbuilt setVariable ["plotfriends", [player], true];
	PVDZE_veh_Update = [_tmpbuilt,"gear"];
	publicVariableServer "PVDZE_veh_Update";
	if (isServer) then {
				PVDZE_veh_Update call server_updateObject;
	};
};

must be placed after (the part without setting a code)

publicVariableServer "PVDZE_obj_Publish";

im starting to merge all that too cen

 

when it came to plot management and editing player_build, player_upgrade, player_downgrad

 

ive only edit fn_check_owner to this

// Check Ownership by RimBlock (http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/user/12612-rimblock/)
 
private ["_player","_object","_playerUID","_ObjectOwner","_owner","_friendlies","_friendly","_return"];
 
_player = _this select 0;
_Object = _this select 1;
_Owner = false;
_friendly = false;
 
_playerUID = [_player] call FNC_GetPlayerUID;
_ObjectOwner = _object getVariable ["ownerPUID","0"];
_friendlies = _nearestPole getVariable ["plotfriends",[]];
_fuid  = [];
{
      _friendUID = _x select 0;
      _fuid  =  _fuid  + [_friendUID];
} forEach _friendlies;
_builder  = getPlayerUID player;
// check if friendly to owner
if(_builder in _fuid) then {
    _canBuildOnPlot = true;
};
 
//_friendlies = _player getVariable ["friendlyTo",[]];
 
if (_playerUID == _ObjectOwner) then {
_owner = true;
};
 
/*if (_ObjectOwner in _friendlies) then {
_friendly = true;
};*/
 
_return = [_owner, _friendly];
_return

 

i kept this and owner does not need to be in friends list of plot management

if (_playerUID == _ObjectOwner) then {
_owner = true;
};

im still testing thou....

Well, Myself and the staff have been fighting with this for a while now,

We have merged the files and continue to get an error (Spoiler) the Client RPT goes full retard.

Problem(s) as follow

   No Upgrading - "Plot pole with in 30m" Pole must be removed and replaced

   Unlock Safe (No Option)

 

We have installed :

   P4L

   Precision Build

   Vector

   ZSC

 

Everything Else Is just gravy and has no issues. This is Seriously impeding our progress

Any Complete Answers are very welcome.

i think you are missing the dze_aplotforlife variable on your init.sqf...

try

DZE_APlotForLife = true;

[RimBlock]

Would agree.

 

The key error seems to be 

Error Undefined variable in expression: dze_aplotforlife

To be fair, whilst the install instructions do say

*** Turn on options ***


Turn on A plot for Life (check ownership against SteamID).
DZE_APlotforLife = true;

They do not say where.

 

Put the options lines in the init.sqf file in the mpmissions\[mapname]\ folder or add them to the variables.sqf file.

 

I will amend the instructions when I get a chance this week,

They Say if you place enough apes with typewriters in a room, they will eventually type the constitution.

The same can now be said for a Dayz Overpoch Server.

 

I will flog the staff until moral improves (and not the happy flogging kind either)

 

Problem Solved, Thanks Gents o/

[SmokeyBR]

ya rimblock i ran into the same issue when installing, at first i didnt care to put the variable on init.sqf because i figured it was in variables.sqf, then i came up with the same errors took a second look at variables.sqf and noticed these variables were not in `variables.sqf`

DZE_APlotForLife = true;
DZE_modularBuild = true;

didnt know if you meant it to leave like that

 

Edit:

also could you explain what exactly helperDetach does ? if its not a bother, i took a look at the code but couldnt figure it out. it helps with manual selection when above water ?

[theduke]

server owners that have several scripts already implemented, should know how to do this already ...

I would really like to be born with your knowledge.  People have to start somewhere.  Even if i had your brain maybe id be a bit smarter, but then again my EGO would blow up.

 

Only if everyone was smart like you...

too bad you arent even smart enough to realize this is a 2 months old post ... lol

[sixgunzx2]

question....redid one of my servers...database wipe - NO other mods,,,plot4life works til server restart - then the plot needs to be uprooted and placed again - cycle starts over...no rpt errors

once laid down player can die 10 times and plot4life works....server restarts then have to start over ? any ideas .... never had this issue in the past  THANKS

 

 

 

sry posted this on plot management...

Server_updateObject.sqf

You messed up something in there, check the steps again and see if the playerUID is in the Worldspace of the pole

[EzYDuziT]

I'm getting this 

 

ErrorMessage: File mpmissions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\custom\snap_pro\snappoints.hpp, line 401: .SnapBuilding: Member already defined.

[mole]

I have this error: Error in expression <then

{

_dir = _worldspace select 0;

if (count (_worldspace select 1) == 3) then >

 2:33:36   Error position: <count (_worldspace select 1) == 3) then >

 2:33:36   Error count: Type String, expected Array,Config entry

 2:33:36 File custom\system\server_monitor.sqf, line 105

 

This is a test server so I am not adding anything new. If I wipe the object_data table the server will restart fine, but as soon as I build anything and restart the server I get the above error.  I am not importing anything from an old server, just simply building something new.  

 

My installed scripts are A Plot for Life 2.5 which includes Precise Base Building and Snap-Pro.  I also have Vectors installed.   

This is an example of what an object in world space looks like:

["355.169647","10999.567383,17277.123047,1.0469246]","76561197960443125",[[-0.084,0.996,0],[0,0,1]]]

 

I really need help with this as I have been digging for an answer and can't find one.

In an effort to insure there could be no conflicts with my above problem. I stripped my server down to no mods except for the ones listed above, and after the redo I get the same error and problem!  The server runs fine with just A Plot for Life, but breaks after I add Vectors and build something then restart the server.  The only things in the object_data table are the items I build for testing.  I am sure I am not the only person that has run into this problem!

[Buck0]

So it works fine with default plotpole files but when you change them and add vectors it breaks?

The problem isnt this script, its your installation of the next script

There are some posts from the author about the version of p4l you can use with vector. Have you checked that? You can only go up to 2.35 I think from memory.

Also, I use precise with vector and installed that at the same time. So, my advice is if you are on the correct version of p4l, try adding precise and see if that fixes it.

Good luck man.

[mole]

I finally figured it out and will write it here so others like me might avoid long hours of pulling hair.  The problem was in the server_monitor.sqf.  When installing vectors after installing A Plot for Life 2.5 the directions in vectors states:

"Start by opening your **server_monitor.sqf**(Remove anything done from P4L installation) which is located in the system folder and find the following code block"

 

The problem with this statement is there is code that was put in by A Plot for Life that is needed: 

 

if ((typeName (_worldspace select 0)) == "STRING") then {

    _worldspace set [0, call compile (_worldspace select 0)];

    _worldspace set [1, call compile (_worldspace select 1)];};

 

It should look like this: 

_pos = [0,0,0];

_wsDone = false;

if (count _worldspace >= 2) then

{

     if ((typeName (_worldspace select 0)) == "STRING") then {

         _worldspace set [0, call compile (_worldspace select 0)];

         _worldspace set [1, call compile (_worldspace select 1)];

     };

     _dir = _worldspace select 0;

     if (count (_worldspace select 1) == 3) then {

          _pos = _worldspace select 1;

          _wsDone = true;

     }

};

So it should not be said to disregard everything done by A Plot for Life, because if you do that part of the code will be left out and you will get the error I described above.  If you use the server_monitor.sqf file provided by A Plot for Life then be careful when you see the instructions: 

 

Once that is complete, find this next line:

```

_object setVariable ["ObjectID", _idKey, true];

```

And place the following after it:

```

_object setVariable ["ownerPUID", _ownerPUID, true];

```

 

That line is already in the script so if you are not paying attention you will apply the same line twice.

Why to install this do I have to replace all my files that I have already edited to add other mods to my server? Is there a tutorial on how to edit my current files so I don't have to reinstall all my other mods?

[SchwEde]

compare and merge them :)

How come nobody gets the option to unlock their safes? Nobody can get access to their safes unless I open them with admin powers.

[ReDBaroN]

How come nobody gets the option to unlock their safes? Nobody can get access to their safes unless I open them with admin powers.

if it's working correctly they don't need to enter codes anymore as the safe code is saved to their character ID. If they don't get the option to just open it then I guess you have something messed up.
