[RELEASE] Carepackages

[MattL]

you can add random quantities easy. 

 

I had this issue only on 112555 and could only replicate it on that beta patch. 

 

see above

 

That'd be extremely hard as you would have to populate a list of players and have it show on some sort of menu...The carepackage part, or at least the booby trap part of it, would not be hard at all but the menu would be where I wouldn't be able to help. I could probably add a random chance to spawn a grenade or other large explosive shell when the player who called it comes near it

on that last part, maybe a seperate carepackage that has 'better loot' but has a chance to explode? 

[MattL]

is it possible to stop the parachute from floating away from the called position? dont want the loot landing in the sea/treetops/bear cave...

You would have to disable the animation, which I believe would prevent it from actually falling without some other additional code

[MattL]

Here is a edited version of the regular script that includes the disabling of the chute's simulation (I let the chute run for a couple seconds then do it so it gets the velocity properly) if anyone would mind testing it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfhj261531ugy59/testpackage.sqf

 

EDIT 1 : there is a high chance of this not working, but I don't have a server to test it on anymore so input from the community on whether or not this works (and if it doesnt, the specific errors you encounter) would be lovely!

 

EDIT 2 : Sorry for the spam all of a sudden, just got home from vacation :D

Hi. i test testpackage.sqf. Not work form me:(

Just spawn box on ground:) Not use parachute. For call I use script mudzereili:

if (!isDedicated) then {
DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS = DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS + [["ItemBriefCase100oz","Call Drop Now","execVM 'addons\calldrop\testpackage.sqf';"]];
};

Box spawn before me and blue smock on ground ;) And timer next spawn not work two :(

 Is the chute spawning? Any errors in the rpt? 

[tarvin]

are you using the normal version or the test version I just put up? Is the chute spawning? Any errors in the rpt? 

on normal version - carepackage.sqf paradrop good but not take any item on box :(

on test version all good take but box just spawn on ground 

 

i test it both nowl ->

 

if (!isDedicated) then {

// DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS = DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS + [["ItemBriefCase100oz","Call Drop Now","execVM 'addons\calldrop\testpackage.sqf';"]];

DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS = DZE_CLICK_ACTIONS + [["ItemBriefCase100oz","Call Drop Now","execVM 'addons\calldrop\carepackage.sqf';"]];

};

 

 

And i see another code for paradrop on UKR forum:

Autor create loot box or vehicle and use logic: 

Create parachute on player pos -> atach box, -> atach flaer, -> box para-down through ground ->clear box. -> create second box in coord first box down. ->fill loot second box -> profit. And attach second flaer when box down please :)

I need to know of the errors in the arma2oaserver.rpt with testpackage.sqf and also what beta you're running.

[tarvin]

dayzepoch 1.5.0.1 betapath 112555 i use infistar and battleye but i off both on test.

 

my RPT : carepackage.sqf (in start this post)

->>>  3:28:34 "Deleting object ParachuteMediumEast with invalid ID at pos [7846.08,11370.4,0.0256805]"

 

my RPT : testpackage.sqf (on last version)

clear

 

 

switch off or remove the connection infistar or battleeye had no impact on the result is not, nor logs.

112555 is the cause of the vast majority of your issues with these scripts. Please update to 125548 or anything more recent than 112555. 

[tarvin]

112555 last path on non steam version 80% players use dayz comander for play dayzepoch not use steam:) . And on steam path 125548  scrip not work two :) 

[MattL]

125548 is stable. I have many server owner friends who use it and have very popular servers. 112555 is a legitimate broken patch, and is known to be broken. DayZ Commander *SHOULD* be updated soon, but until then players with playwithsix and who are smart enough to use a .bat file can still join the server.

[Magz]

on that last part, maybe a seperate carepackage that has 'better loot' but has a chance to explode? 

 

Matt, I was thinking not to actually call it directly for the person via a menu, but instead to call a deliberate explosive care package while you're near the person so they see it come down thinking you called it for yourself. The player calling it of course wouldn't interact with it, but the player(s) close by would, then BOOM!

 

Is it possible to call a carepackage somewhere via the map. For example, I'm on the coast (just died) a friend of mine is in our base. That friend pulls some briefs from my safe and calls a care package which opens the map and he chooses where to drop it on the coast for me. I run to it and proceed? I honestly don't know if that's possible, but your scripts make me think a lot of the time that anythings possible and if anyone would know if it can be done, you would.

that probably is possible actually.

[MattL]

no longer relevant

[choppra]

ill test this tonight and let you know

[MattL]

also going to be working on the onMapClick thing that MagZ was looking for 

[choppra]

so i just tested it out.. spawns nice and it looks great but i cant remove anything from the crate.  Any idea why?

 

I am running BEC and Infistar.

I'm gonna guess that you are running 112555. This has been addressed a couple of times before, on this post. 112555 is a broken patch.

 

also, you might have to turn the hacked box check off.

[choppra]

Ah, my mistake.  Didnt package my pbo after change.  Testing now.  Love the fact that the smoke launches - it will give your position away.

[choppra]

hey, so i'm running 125548 on 1.0.5.1 with the same issue.  You stated you have people running this on 125548, correct?  (i may have misread).

[MattL]

I ran this on my test server with no problems accessing the gear and taking items out of it, on 1051, 125548

[choppra]

ok, might be doing something wrong.  I'll back track and check.

 

Could it be Infistar?  I've never added anything yet to whitelist so i may have done that incorrectly.

in the ahconfig check that the hacked box check is turned off. I know for a fact that specific function will cause issues

This is going to be awesome!

[MattL]

This is going to be awesome!

probably have it out for you tomorrow night.
