We spawn "swimming in the ground" with a very high percentage.

[blueman]

We spawn "swimming in the ground" very consistently.

Only occasionally spawning above ground.

 

If we are admin, and have admin tools, we can teleport out of it, but otherwise,
we just swim around in the dirt for ever.

 

What could be causing this?

 

Scripts we are using:

R3F Tow

Snap Build

Elevator

Trade From Vehicle

 

Thanks in advance.

 

:unsure:

first spawn positions are located in water somewhere thats why, you would need to change all survivor coordinates in mission.sqm to a lone island or something ^^

[blueman]

Ok. I'll look into that. Not sure how to change that though.

However, it's not on "first spawn".

 

I log off the game, above ground, and when I log back into the game, I'm swimming in dirt.
Same spot I logged out at, only "in the ground treading water".

everytime you connect to the server you spawn at these sea locations and then get teleported by the server to your last location....

 

look in mission.sqm and look for:

	class Groups
	{
		items=2;
		class Item0
		{
			side="WEST";
			class Vehicles
			{
				items=100;
				class Item0
				{
					position[]={126.2492,0.69394171,157.38708};
					azimut=-17.0839;
					id=11;
					side="WEST";
					vehicle="Survivor1_DZ";
					player="PLAY CDG";
					skill=0.60000002;
					init="this enableSimulation false;this allowDammage false;this disableAI 'FSM';this disableAI 'ANIM';this disableAI 'MOVE';";
				};
.
.
.

and so on, there are 100 slots you would have to change the coordinates ^^

[blueman]

First, thanks for trying to help me, I really appreciate it.

 

Now, if you'll pardon my ignorance, are you suggesting I change
all the "position" coords to some "land" coords?

 

Seems like the problem is that, as you say it teleports me to the last location,
it seems to think my "last location" is several feet below ground from where I logged out.

 

I say this, because, when I log back in, I am where I was last time I logged out, only several feet lower.

 

Will what you suggest fix that?

[Guest]

i think so, you could try it with altering the first 5 coordinates and try to respawn severaltimes using the first 5 slots of your server .. its not the height which causes you to spawn swimming its the animation of the body

[Bigdaddy73]

This happens to me almost every time I log in. I'm not sure if its the correct way and you are probably looking for a more permanent fix, but I have found the easiest way for me is to log out near a vehicle and when I log back in "swimming on land" I just get in the vehicle and it fixes me every time.

 

I've been told I can die doing this, but it has not happened yet.

Tbh you can die with everything you do in dayz.

Tried not spawning on shore?

mission folder/init.sqf

 

spawnShoremode = 0; // Default = 1 (on shore)

 

Never had this problem on Napf, or changed any default coords :/

[Defay]

This happens to me too sometimes but when I press the movement keys it teleports me to the ground and everything works from then. 

Do just you happen to have this problem or other people as well?

[cikez]

My players are also reporting this issue sometimes.. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It seems to only happen when they log back in after disconnecting. Meaning they are not a fresh spawn. This issue is happening on Chernarus though.

[Bob_the_K]

I'm getting the same thing on the Taviana map.  WaTTe, not all 100 locations can be in the water though.  I haven't actually checked out where each of those coords really are.  A task I'd rather not do if I don't have to.  I am seeing the same thing as blueman.  It's when I log out somewhere and then log back in, not on a fresh spawn.   I'm lower and swimming in the ground.

 

Has anyone actually found a fix for this?

[Bob_the_K]

Thanks!  I've put it in and been working on scripts all afternoon logging in and out to test.   So far no swimming in the ground any more!

[ViseVersa]

I'm sorry to say that and i'm sorry, that my reply is coming so late, but:

You could have just used "playActionNow" or "playMoveNow" after the player logged in. That will solve the Problem map independeny.

 

 

 

[Airwaves Man]

@ViseVersa Did you check that? Where did you put the "playActionNow" ?

[Airwaves Man]

@ebaydayz Im not sure where to put the code lines.

 

[Liquid84]

@ebaydayz still does it for 1.0.6 Overpoch Tavi Origina 1.7.9.5. Ill try to apply the old school fix

[Liquid84]

At the time I had not made any changes to the switchmodel.sqf. All modified files would be coming directly from 1.0.6 server/client files. I'll continue to find the source. Just keep getting sidetracked with applying other mods. lol.

[Liquid84]

@ebaydayz By chance, will you be updating the ESSV2 to work with 1.0.6?

[Cubitron]

Vannila Epoch on Napf , i swim into the ground after spawn :-)

[Liquid84]

@ebaydayz Ill test it today. Ill get two others to help me to grab grids faster (Tavi)

[Liquid84]

It happens when ever a player logs in, or respawns. I've had to relog  to fix it. 

[Cubitron]

90% Log and Relog are swimming,little move with mouse and everything work. Sry dont have coords, now my server are not longer Vanilla :-)

[Liquid84]

So far so good, @ebaydayz

[Cubitron]

works great now
