[Release] Mining 1.2 Updated 08/06/2014

[Vindomire]

After watching a video for city life and seeing a bunch of people mining in a barn i thought... i like that. The current node system is ok... but people dont generally want to search around for them. I decided to add 2 Mining node areas and mark them on the map to encourage a bit of PVP in 2 more areas.

What this does:
If you have a Toolbox and a Sledge, you go to where the nodes are and if your 15m from the activiation object you get a start mining option. The script will then loop on a 10 second timer collecting iron ore, silver ore, gold ore, and rarely gems. Since my server uses gems as a higher currency this would be the draw to these sites. It will loop until your inventory is full then you start it all over again.
 
Installation:
 
1) Download https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14198394/mining.zip and unzip into your mission pbo/custom directory
 
2) Add to init.sqf:     [] execVM 'custom\mining\init.sqf';     //Added for Mining in the if (!isDedicated) then { section
 
3) OPTIONAL to add map markers
    Add to class markers in mission.sqm and replace # with proper incremented number and increase the items=# by 2:

		class Item#
		{
			position[]={ 3893.9448, 0, 11426.449};
                        name="Mine1";
                        text="Mining Node";
                        type="mil_dot";
                        colorName="ColorBlack";
		};
		class Item#
		{
			position[]={ 13273.093, 0, 6099.0747};
                        name="Mine2";
                        text="Mining Node";
                        type="mil_dot";
                        colorName="ColorBlack";
		};

4) Download https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14198394/mining.sqf and place it in whatever folder you put your custom map additions in the server pbo
 
5) add to the end of init\server_functions in server pbo:

	//Mining Nodes
	[] execVM "z\addons\dayz_server\<CUSTOM FOLDER NAME>\mining.sqf";

6) to stop undefined variable errors in the RPT add to your custom variables.sqf inside dayz_resetSelfActions = {:

	s_player_mining = -1;
	s_player_mine = -1;

DONE!
 
From that point you should just have to go to the giant rock tower and mine. The rock tower is just for looks since i didnt want people to be able to mine at them all i put an object(BeltBuckle_DZE) in the middle to trigger the start mining scroll option. So to add more just put the belt buckle somewhere and drop a rock tower over top of it.
 
This is the first script i have made for release so hopefully the install instructions are good. :)
 

Version 1.1 Uploaded 08/04/2014 (download and replace your mining\init.sqf and mining\start.sqf):

• New requirement to have sledgehammer as primary weapon
• animation changed to swinging animation
• Moving cancels mining as well as the stop mining option (now properly removes the stop mining option and readds start mining)
• Notification when you enter mining range with instructions on how to mine added
• inventory max changed to 20 (hopefully it is more accurate)
• ore percentages changed and where gems are calculated moved. Less gems then before but more consistant numbers.
• small code optimizations

Version 1.2 Uploaded 08/06/2014 (download and replace your mining\init.sqf and mining\start.sqf):

• Proper inventory full check, no more overflow
• Various notification handling changes
• Ability to get the start mining with a sledge in inventory but you are told it must be equipped to mine
• Check to make sure the sledge is the current weapon selected
• check to make sure your looking at the rockwall. Cancels mining if you look away
• closes inventory if opened
• minor little formatting and undefined variable fixes

*** Special Thanks to hogscraper for the animation change, sledge as primary(including fix), movement cancellation, proper inventory handling, close inventory and change to the notification handling.

 

Known Issue (removed for all new downloads):

Sometimes it wont let you mine when looking at the rock (works for me on my server after about 3 mining tries then isnt a problem everr again). To disable the rockwall cursor check delete from start.init:

if (!(_cursorTarget isKindOf "MAP_R2_RockTower")) exitWith {
isMining = false;
systemChat("Must look at what your Mining.");
};

i suppose i could try to make a video, computer is so crappy fraps might bog it down hahah i will put up some puush screens if i can get it working...

[Vindomire]

video added

[Mystic Joker]

looks very good 

[Vindomire]

im not using sensors.... im checking near objects for a beltbuckle object inside the rock tower.

[hogscraper]

Sounds like a really cool idea. Would go really well with my new crafting system that is based on gemstones. I think I might add those nodes to some high pvp areas and see what happens:)

[hogscraper]

Not sure if you're interested but I wanted this to have a little more tension where I intend to use it. I also wanted it to be a little more realistic so I changed two things up in the version I am using.

I added a check in your init.sqf to see if the player is wielding the sledge, and if so, that sets _hasSledge=true

_currentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
if (_currentWeapon == "MeleeSledge") then {
_hasSledge=true;
};

I changed the start.sqf so that the player has to have the sledge equipped and it uses the melee swinging option. It also allows the player to run away from the area and cancels out the mining if he does.

//Mining Start

isMining = true;

systemChat("Mining Started");

addOre = (vehicle player);

 

player removeAction s_player_mine;

s_player_mining = -1;

 

//checks player's current weapon and exist with message if they do not have a sledge equipped

//adds eventhandler so that if the player looks away from the rock they break out of the mining action

_currentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;

if (_currentWeapon == "MeleeSledge") then {

 

r_interrupt=false;

 

while {isMining} do {

_inventory = magazines player;

_Mining_Counter=10;

if (count _inventory > 24) exitWith {

isMining = false;

player removeAction s_player_mining;

s_player_mine = -1;

systemChat ("Your inventory is full.");

};

 

[10,10] call dayz_HungerThirst;

 

//set up quick loop that swings the sledge and if player moves it breaks out of the mining action

while {_Mining_Counter>-1} do {

if(r_interrupt) exitWith {isMining=false};

player playActionNow "GestureSwing";

sleep 1;

_Mining_Counter=_Mining_Counter - 1;

};

 

if (isMining) then {

private ["_rand","_randGem"];

_rand = floor(random 100);

 

if (_rand <= 50) then {

addOre addMagazine 'PartOre';

systemChat("Mined 1 iron ore.");

};

 

if (_rand <= 80 && _rand > 50) then {

addOre addMagazine 'PartOreSilver';

systemChat("Mined 1 Silver ore.");

};

 

if (_rand <= 95 && _rand > 80) then {

addOre addMagazine 'PartOreGold';

systemChat("Mined 1 Gold ore.");

};

 

if (_rand <= 100 && _rand > 95) then {

_randGem = floor(random 7);

 

if (_randGem == 0) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemTopaz';

systemChat("Mined 1 Topaz.");

};

if (_randGem == 1) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemObsidian';

systemChat("Mined 1 Obsidian.");

};

if (_randGem == 2) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemSapphire';

systemChat("Mined 1 Sapphire.");

};

if (_randGem == 3) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemAmethyst';

systemChat("Mined 1 Amethyst.");

};

if (_randGem == 4) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemEmerald';

systemChat("Mined 1 Emerald.");

};

if (_randGem == 5) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemCitrine';

systemChat("Mined 1 Citrine.");

};

if (_randGem == 6) then {

addOre addMagazine 'ItemRuby';

systemChat("Mined 1 Ruby.");

};

};

 

} else {

systemChat("Mining Cycle Cancelled");

player removeAction s_player_mining;

s_player_mine = -1;

 

};

};

} else {

systemChat("You must have your Sledgehammer equipped to mine!");

isMining = false;

};

 

[calamity]

This is great! 

where can I find the BeltBuckle_DZE in the editor so I can create my mines for napf ???

[Vindomire]

@calamity its in the objects helper i beleive but can really be any item you want to change the script to or even multiple types _trigger = ["BeltBuckle_DZE"]; is an array.

 

@Hogscraper i wanted to do the swing animation with the sledge but didnt quite know how to do it, so thanks for that. I didnt script in any movement code because the animation kept you locked down however if you got out of range of it SOMEHOW it would still have shut off. Good additions, thanks :) i will play with your addition and make it a next version.

[Vindomire]

Updated to 1.1, Modifications listed at bottom of post. Thanks to hogscraper for the majority of the update.

[Jossy]

This will make a nice addition to our server, can make it spawn in the rocks across different area's of the map as a mission with limited resources :) Great script!

[Tricks]

This is great, always looking for something new!! Can't wait to try it!

[calamity]

thanikz for this

would I add your sledge check like this ???

 

//Mining Actions

_currentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;

if (_currentWeapon == "MeleeSledge") then {

_hasSledge=true;

};

while {true} do {

private ["_pos","_mineNodes","_inRange","_trigger","_hasSledge","_hasToolbox","_inventory"];

[hogscraper]

 

 

Just re-download his mod, my code was already added in when he updated.

[Creep]

You broke the inventory check in your update:

 

the check need to be done in the while case, to prevent unlimited space

[Vindomire]

i will look into creep and re upload

 

When tested it kicks out and says inventory full... the check is in the while loop... The issue is inventory is counted by the 12 magazine slots and the 8 lower magazine slots. So if your lower mag slots is full it will mine 12 ore and say full. HOWEVER if your lower inventory is empty it will mine 20 ore and put the 8 extra ore in buffer....

What map is this for and the markers arent showing up ? on chernarus , any help is appreciated 

[Vindomire]

its for cherarus. you put the markers in and cahnged the #'s to incerement the existing ones? then went to the top and incresed the items number by 2?

gimme a sec i will load TV. My TS3 is sefem.typefrag.com:8800

[Creep]

i will look into creep and re upload

 

When tested it kicks out and says inventory full... the check is in the while loop... The issue is inventory is counted by the 12 magazine slots and the 8 lower magazine slots. So if your lower mag slots is full it will mine 12 ore and say full. HOWEVER if your lower inventory is empty it will mine 20 ore and put the 8 extra ore in buffer....

The problem is the loop itself in that case, it checks the inventory when first starting the loop, but as soon as its started you can mine forever
