Epoch Buildables - How to make Indestructible

[ToejaM]

Does anyone know where to edit the code to make objects spawned in indestructible, specifically buildables.

 

I imagine a isKindOf "name","name" string will be needed.

 

Or perhaps someone knows where vaults are given their immunity unless thats coded before spawning through the database.

 

Any help appreciated.

I don't, sorry.

It'd be interesting if the 1.02 feature where you have to periodically maintain your buildables to avoid them disappearing could be altered so you're instead maintaining their "indestructability".

Unrealisitc to make something indestructible, almost like hax! Survival cost is the key you need to maintain and do cleanup and upkeep on your base, if you do this it will make is less realistic! 

[austinrmartin]

By the way i play on CPC server if you make indestructible stuff, i will leave 

[ToejaM]

If you want to discuss it use our forums, however all current bases are already indestructible as are safes. This trend will continue.

I would assume the destructible aspect of the bases will be based in the fn_selfactions.sqf file, where the option to remove objects are. As for the time-decay, you may want to scavenge through server_cleanup.fsm in your server.pbo. Those are my guesses.

A dirty work-around would be to set the damage (assuming the objects get a damage value set) and the date-stamp to fresh values every object update via SQL.

One way to do this (according to the wiki):

CREATE EVENT preventCleanup
    ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY
    COMMENT 'prevents all cleanup by setting datestamp to current'
    DO
        UPDATE `object_data` SET `Datestamp`=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 'Damage'=0 WHERE `ObjectUID` <> 0 AND `CharacterID` <> 0 AND ( (`Inventory` IS NULL) OR (`Inventory` = '[]') )

I have not tested any of the above, these are just recommendations.

I would be interested in an answer to this as well, at the moment I'm holding off with the base building mod until I see what the devs have planned. I've not found anything obvious as of yet. 

 

Austin I suggest you and all the "realism" cronys stop talking about "realism" and join the real world. You know, the one where not everyone can maintain a Blackhawk helicopter let alone fly it. Where a 4 cyclinder Lada engine from 1949 fits any helicopter or car. Where you can hump 4 24 foot long rotor blades and the assembly with gearbox weighing a total of roughly 2 tons in your arms or a backpack.

The main reason the developers are not supporting Base Building 1.2 and anyone asking for help with it is due to the fact that it is third-party software. Do what you want on your own server, but don't force it upon the devs.

And don't spam fanboi statements in every single thread where the mod is mentioned. Read what has been posted. 

 

Speaking of damage settings, would it not be possible to alter the armour settings of the various pieces, thus making almost impervious? I do remember seeing an armour value in one of the files I was browsing yesterday. Can't remember which one unfortunately. 

[ToejaM]

Anyone had any luck on this yet?

 

Think it might have to go down to a script executed on server start to godmode the buildings.

 

The cinderwalls get taken out by 3 satchel charges and even though they're expensive on my server, many groups have a lot of them.

 

You can also run down wooden walls with a lada lol.. so all the time creating it, taken down by someone who buys/finds a rubbish car. Though cinderwalls dont go down even with a vodnik going at 150 so thats a good start but would still like them all to be indestructible before I even think about changing the base building mod.

Like mentioned previously, find the solution if you want it so badly.

That file was this I believe: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/cfgVehicles.hpp

The buildings with DestructNo appear to describe the obvious, too.

I put this in. I"m assuming it's working. If I decide I don't want this anymore, how do I cancel it in my database?

[-CJ-]

I've tried to add this event my I need to turn on the scheduler in the database. Can somebody tell me how to do this.

 

Once the scheduler is running, do you just copy and paste the info into the New Event section?

You can make any object receive no damage that is spawned through server monitor with this _object setVehicleInit "this addEventHandler [""HandleDamage"",{}]";

I haven't messed with the new server monitor yet or the Epoch one but this should point you in the right direction. I used to do this on ammo boxes I spawned in with the database.

What you need to do is intercept the _object when the server_monitor spawns it in and add the event handler.

 

Here is an example. Note this is really old code so things look a lot different now. Just started back up with DayZ :)

                //Create it
                _object = createVehicle [_type, _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
                _object setVariable ["lastUpdate",time];
                if (_ownerID == "0") then {_object setVariable ["ObjectID", str(_idKey), true];} else {_object setVariable ["ObjectUID", str(_idKey),true];}; //_object setVariable ["ObjectID", _idKey, true];
                _object setVariable ["CharacterID", _ownerID, true];
                
                clearWeaponCargoGlobal  _object;
                clearMagazineCargoGlobal  _object;
                if (_object isKindOf "AN2_DZ") then {
                
                    _object addWeapon "M240_veh";
                    _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                    _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                    _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                    _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                };                
                
                if (_object isKindOf "TentStorage") then {
                    _pos set [2,0];
                    _object setpos _pos;
                    _object addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled",{_this call vehicle_handleServerKilled;}];
                };
                if (_object isKindOf "USBasicAmmunitionBox") then {
                    _object setVehicleInit "this addEventHandler [""HandleDamage"",{}]";
                    processInitCommands;
                };

So I'm assuming he's not wanting to share his way of doing it (or he's really busy). Anyone else have the fix so we can all enjoy this?

I like how you ignore my post because it requires you to make it work. Look up my posts on OpenDayz and read the topics about server_moniter and make it work.

[-CJ-]

Excuse me if i ignore your way of doing it and wait on someone who has it working in operation on their server.

Spawn the item into the game with script and apply

_object addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];

that will  overwrite the built in damage handler. Similar method to post from Markk311.

 

That is how I make my bus and driver invulnerable..
