Help cleaning up parachutes from HALO spawns with new beta version. ..

[DangerRuss]

So I run halo respawns on my server, but because of the new arma beta version, The parachutes don't delete once the player lands. This causes hundreds of parachutes to be floating around the map.. you should see Balota.. anyways I can't seem to find any information on how to get the server to clean these up. This is literally the only issue I'm having with the new beta. The only suggestions I've received so far are to roll back to the previous beta but that's not really an option for me. So does anyone have a way I can fix this? It would be much appreciated. For the record I'm running Overwatch if that matters. Thanks!

Teleport the parachute to debug zone and set damage to 1. But really switch back to the old version :P

[DangerRuss]

Could you be very specific on how to do that please? I have absolutely no idea how. Thanks man

I know i know but Rolling back isn't an option really my server will become a ghost town overnight. If this is the only problem I'm having then it's not worth killing my server.

[peipo118]

I run two full servers, i announced the rollback properly and put a guide on the website on how to do it, and it is still full :P

But well to do this i would have to be home and check the spawn function exactly, will do that shortly.

Basically you make

_object setPos [0,0,0];

_object setDamage 1;

Where your _object is the parachute used by the Halo function...

Gonna have a look when i get home :)

[DangerRuss]

I don't have a steady regular player base. I rely almost entirely on randoms.

You might have to really dumb this down for me as this is a bit out of my league man. I do follow directions very well though :) Thanks for any help you can provide man

Post your halo drop script and we will modify it for you.

[Halvhjearne]

Post your halo drop script and we will modify it for you.

 

nvm his halo script, you wont get the entity from that anyways ... most likely best sollution will be a serverside while loop, checking for empty parachutes with an interval.

 

not to mention the fact that the new beta has problems deleteing ... hence the teleporting to debug and setdamage

[BetterDeadThanZed]

This is a bug with Arma 2 beta 112555 and is the main reason I haven't updated my servers. The server cleanup doesn't work.

[peipo118]

Allright the place you are looking for is dayz_code/compile/BIS_fnc/fn_halo.sqf

 

That is the function handling it all..

Then in line 16 replace the deletevehicle thingy with what i posted above.

 

Finally place the file into your mission folder and redress the call to it in your custom compiles.sqf

 

That should work, but betterdead is right, the entire cleanup process is not working atm so you might get problems from that

[DangerRuss]

Alright when I get home from work I'll have a look at this and give it a shot. I don't mind teleporting them out to debug as they don't really cause lag on the server. It's just insane when there's 100+ empty parachutes around. They have also on occasion collided with and killed players, which is actually kind of funny but yea.. Thanks gentlemen, I really would be lost if it wasn't for this awesome community and all the help that had been provided over the last year or so.

I wonder if infiSTAR could modify his "fix server fps" to delete these. I do use that from time to time and it does appear to be deleting objects.

A loop is probably best, bit if the code he is using is spawning in an empty parachute and putting the player in it, it's an easy fix for that aspect.

 

Since he is talking about when they spawn in, I thought he may have a custom script for it.

[DangerRuss]

I believe I followed user TorturedChunk's fix and followed option numbe 2. I can't be 100% sure since Im not in front of my files but here it is.

http://opendayz.net/threads/halo-jump-on-spawn-tutorial.9344/page-4#post-42865

 

to save you the trouble this is at the bottom of the init.sqf. I can't download and paste the actual HALO script(s) from my phone sorry I know the init isnt much help. But the first page of that link should be the files. When I get home I'll paste mine.

MC_BIS_halo_spawn = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "fixes\haloInit.sqf";
private["_mkr"];
_mkr = "spawn" + str(round(random 4));
if (!isDedicated) then {
    [] spawn {
        waitUntil { !isNil ("dayz_Totalzedscheck") and
!(player getVariable ["humanity",0] > 5000 and
typeOf player == "Survivor2_DZ") and
!(player getVariable ["humanity",0] < -2000 and
(typeOf player == "Survivor2_DZ" or
typeOf player == "SurvivorW2_DZ") ) and
!(player getVariable ["humanity",0] > 0 and
(typeOf player == "Bandit1_DZ" or
typeOf player == "BanditW1_DZ") )
};
 
        if (dayzPlayerLogin2 select 2) then
        {
            _pos = position player;
            _mkr setMarkerPos [_pos select 0, _pos select 1];
            player spawn MC_BIS_halo_spawn;
        };
    };
};

I wonder if infiSTAR could modify his "fix server fps" to delete these. I do use that from time to time and it does appear to be deleting objects.

 

He did!

Is this modifying an existing section of the haloinit.sqf or am I creating a new section near the bottom for this?

excellent I will check for an update, although this only allows me to delete parachutes when Im on. Still better than nothing! Thanks!

make a new file and add that into it, then exceVM whateveryoucalledthefile.sqf right above this line:

This seems to have done the trick man. I appreciate it as always.

im glad you could test it, i didnt have the time to do it myself, and i dont intend to use the new bata patch before i absolutely have to or there is an update for this mess.

 

try this to save some resources on the server:

if(isServer)then{
	//start timer, time before script starts ... could be adjusted, 600 might be overkill
	sleep 600;
	[] spawn {
		while {true} do {
			{
				if(count (crew _x) < 1 and _x distance [0,0,0] > 250)then{
					//comment this log out, when it seems to work
					diag_log format["ANTIPARA: '%1' '%2' - (%3) %4",typeOf _x,_x,mapGridPosition _x,getPos _x];
					_x setPos [0,0,0];
					_x setDamage 1;
					deleteVehicle _x;
				};
			}forEach (entities "ParachuteWest");
			//more time here, the longer inbetween cleanup cycles but will save server resources
			//less time will clean faster, but might have impact on server performance
			sleep (5 + (random 15));
		};
	};
};

[DangerRuss]

ah yea I spoke too soon on that first one man. I think the antihack is blocking the script. It deletes my parachute just fine but no one elses. Any idea how I'd whitelist it, assuming thats the issue?

 

Edit- also, Im using the latest version infiSTAR sent me and the fix server fps does not seem to be deleting parachutes as someone said earlier.

 

When I go to delete one of the parachutes manually its parachuteC if that makes any difference

Edit- also, Im using the latest version infiSTAR sent me and the fix server fps does not seem to be deleting parachutes as someone said earlier.

 

When I go to delete one of the parachutes manually its parachuteC if that makes any difference

 

ill change it to check for both types, but im cautious about using parachutebase, cause it will delete my airdrop parachutes aswell, since they dont have any passengers

 

meanwhile try change this:

}forEach (entities "ParachuteWest");

to this:

}forEach (entities "ParachuteC");

try this:

if(isServer)then{
	//start timer, time before script starts ... could be adjusted
	sleep 300;
	[] spawn {
		while {true} do {
			_allPWest = (entities "ParachuteWest");
			if(count _allPWest < 0)then{
				{
					if(count (crew _x) < 1 and _x distance [0,0,0] > 250)then{
						//comment this log out, when it seems to work
						diag_log format["ANTIPARA: '%1' '%2' - (%3) %4",typeOf _x,_x,mapGridPosition _x,getPos _x];
						_x setPos [0,0,0];
						_x setDamage 1;
						deleteVehicle _x;
					};
				}forEach _allPWest;
			};
			_allPC = (entities "ParachuteC");
			if(count _allPC < 0)then{
				{
					if(count (crew _x) < 1 and _x distance [0,0,0] > 250)then{
						//comment this log out, when it seems to work
						diag_log format["ANTIPARA: '%1' '%2' - (%3) %4",typeOf _x,_x,mapGridPosition _x,getPos _x];
						_x setPos [0,0,0];
						_x setDamage 1;
						deleteVehicle _x;
					};
				}forEach _allPC;
			};
			//more time here, the longer inbetween cleanup cycles but will save server resources
			//less time will clean faster, but might have impact on server performance
			sleep (5 + (random 15));
		};
	};
};

No joy, same problem as the last one I believe. Deletes my parachute, no one elses.

how do you execute the script?
