Hi everyone, 

Been trying to get this to work tonight and i've been having no luck. 

 

Basically I would like to be able to create an arena or a town, called in via .sqf 

that can only be manually called in by an admin. 

 

We use epoch admin tools on our server, 

 

my admintools  main

  Reveal hidden contents

 

and for spawnarena.sqf  I am using a NEAF addition (i believe i found this on opendayz) to test. 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Menus all load fine, I try to execute the script. and nothing happens at all. 

 

how do i do this?

this needs to be executed serverside, if you want to trigger it you will have to do it using a publicvariable or something.

 

you could try it like this:

in your init.sqf in the if(isServer) then Area add:

"SpawnArea" addPublicVariableEventHandler { [] execVM "spawnarea.sqf" }; //spawnarea needs to be located in the mission file, you could also call it like the traders are called through the dayz_server.pbo

and add a areaspawn.sqf to your admin tools which includes:

SpawnArea = true;
publicVariableServer "SpawnArea";

you maybe also have to edit your publicvariable.txt and add at the end of your first uncommented line:

!="SpawnArea"

But all in all this is a wild guess and i dont really know if this will work ^^

thank you, i'll give that a try. 

 

I thought it might have been because of the first line.

So i tried changing the first line of spawnarena.sqf to be  

if (!isServer) then {

didn't work either, then it was 2am. so I gave up for the night. 

I'll try creating some PV's tonight when i get home from work. 

 

thank you for the tip.

Menus all load fine, I try to execute the script. and nothing happens at all. 

 

how do i do this? 

 

just remove the if(isServer and its closing bracket, and it will spawn from your admin menu.

But all in all this is a wild guess and i dont really know if this will work ^^

 

this is unneeded ... the main reason that if is there, is so every client is not executing it and creating a set of buildings for each player logging in ... but since its not executed for each clients, its ok.

 

potentially you could make a script that creates this exact area anywhere and just set positions and direction acording to where your admin player is currently placed.

would be rather easy actually ...

So somewhat similar to the placement of objects in DZMS/WAI

 

eg. 

_box = createVehicle ["RUBasicWeaponsBox",[(_position select 0) + 25,(_position select 1) + 15,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

 

and _position would use my current position. I like this idea a lot. certainly would allow for things to be a lot more dynamic.

 

Can't wait to go home and try this out. thanks halvhjearne.

 

 

*edit* got it to work,  was a little more involved than first anticipated. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 

i've been able to create a couple of cool event type scenarios. wouldn't have been possible without your help. 

 

cheers :)
