INSTALLATION! Chocolat consists in only two files:

File 1) code that goes on fn_selfActions.sqf

The Self Action code: place this code on the bottom of your custom fn_selfActions.sqf file.

//CHOCOLAT TOOLS SELF ACTION VARIABLES
if (isNil "s_don_nearveh_a" || isNil "s_don_nearveh_b" || isNil "s_don_nearveh_onoff") then {
    s_don_nearveh_a = -1;
    s_don_nearveh_b = -1;
    s_don_nearveh_onoff = 0;
};
//CHOCOLAT TOOLS ON
if (s_don_nearveh_a < 0 && s_don_nearveh_onoff == 0) then {
    s_don_nearveh_a = player addaction[("<t color=""#0044aa"">" + ("Turn On Chocolat Tools [ON]") +"</t>"),"custom\nearveh.sqf","",5,false,true,"", ""];
};
//CHOCOLAT TOOLS OFF
if (s_don_nearveh_b < 0 && s_don_nearveh_onoff == 1) then {
    s_don_nearveh_b = player addaction[("<t color=""#0044aa"">" + ("Turn Off Chocolat Tools [OFF]") +"</t>"),"custom\nearveh.sqf","",5,false,true,"", ""];
};

and where is the sense in that?

[Donnovan]

The main goal is to show vehicles in map, but not show then all. So it will show only a x percentage of it, in a r radius from player. This percentage and radius can be set by the server admin.

 

Other simple features, that make me call it Tools (along with others i could inplement later, or players can ask for), are:

 

- See player on map.

 

- Player Steps: You can see your evolution along the map, like the "line over map" in movies. If you turn off/on the Tool, the steps are reseted.

 

By the way, i'm missing the real sense of it until i get servers using it. As a matter of fact, i can always help others on their scripts other than doing my ones.

nice work (if you wrote this) but i feel like i saw this somewhere before, with diffrent var names ...

 

the problem with this is you have to allow local markers for all players ... not the best idea tbh and most likely wont work with some antihacks

[Donnovan]

You can make further analisys and transform your feel in something else. Post any find here.

 

Really? What antihacks have problem with local marks?

Really? What antihacks have problem with local marks?

 

really? ... lol ... all

 

if you allow local markers you are basicly allowing esp for players

[Donnovan]

Can you please explain it better?

[TheVampire]

Can you please explain it better?

 

Local markers of course mean that the local player can view the local markers set on them.

Hackers like to keep things local as setting an ESP that everyone on the server can see makes it obvious that there is a player hacking.

For this reason, most anti-hacks attempt to prevent local markers.

 

Showing a percentage of new vehicles marked on the map to everyone might be a better idea, if some antihacks do interfere.

[Donnovan]

Thankyou for the help.

 

Do they hackers modify the local copy of the mission file and avoid the server to know that?

[Donnovan]

S.T.E.P.S on the oven.

[Donnovan]

Thankyou for the help on Local Marks.

Since i'm opening a server with a more hard core feel, and with less vehicle, i will rework this script.

But use it's feature will have a cost.
