You will likely want to add those to your custom variables for undefined variable errors in the RPT

Works Great. Been testing all morning with various objects and seems very well done. There is a bit of a learning curve to manipulate them (buildables) to your liking, but overall a HUGE step in the right direction for base building. I was even able to build cinder roofs! 

 

Keep up the good work!

PS, Had no problems with the latest version of infistar.

Are you using any other mod that uses the worldspace array? Sounds like the worldspace array is like this...

 

[30.61,[8289.48,2503.63,0],"string"]

 

A simple fix would be to do the following:

 

Find the following line in server_monitor.sqf file in the systems folder of the server.pbo 

if (count _worldspace >= 2) then{

Replace that whole if statement with the following.

		if (count _worldspace >= 2) then
		{
			if(count _worldspace == 3) then{
				_vector = _worldspace select 2;
				if(typename _vector == "ARRAY")then{
					if(count _vector == 2)then{
						if(((count (_vector select 0)) == 3) && ((count (_vector select 1)) == 3))then{
							_vecExists = true;
						};
					};

				};

			};
			_dir = _worldspace select 0;
			if (count (_worldspace select 1) == 3) then {
				_pos = _worldspace select 1;
				_wsDone = true;
			}
		};

What did you add to fn_selfActions.sqf? I already have a custom one due to the currency system on my server.

 

Not much actually, just two lines.

 

Around line 632 on a fresh copy:

s_player_upgrade_build = player addAction [format[localize "STR_EPOCH_ACTIONS_UPGRADE",_text], "custom\player_upgrade.sqf",_cursorTarget, -1, false, true, "",""];

Around line 650 on a fresh copy:

s_player_downgrade_build = player addAction [format[localize "STR_EPOCH_ACTIONS_REMLOCK",_text], "custom\player_buildingDowngrade.sqf",_cursorTarget, -2, false, true, "",""];

Basically a file path change.  :)

Great addition to Raymix's Snap Building! One thing I'd suggest is adding support for RimBlock's plot for life as that uses the same entry in the worldspace array, maybe add a config variable like "BV_PlotForLifeInstalled = true" then move the worldspace entry over by one, just a suggestion anyhow. Creates so many base building possibilities it's great!

 

If you added support it would look like this:

[[<dir>, <position>], <player uid>, <vector>]

I am hoping Striker's addition and Rimblock's PfL will make their way into official epoch as toggleable options from init.sqf for an "ultimate compatibility" between these mods if I may, lol. I mean.. lets keep them mission file sizes low, right?  :ph34r:

This. As far as I'm aware RimBlock's P4L is making it's way into Official Epoch but won't make it until 1.0.6.

Arg I really want this.. but I don't want to give up geeks admin build. It is awesome for building stuff for admin events. Lets you set them up super fast. Is there any way to add geeks admin build to this?

 

I was having similar thoughts, so I decided to edit some files. 

 

I used diffmerge to compare the files and copied the appropriate parts across

 

player_build.sqf (THIS ONE DOESNT WORK PROPERLY!!!!) - PROPER WORKING VERSION DOWN BELOW

  Reveal hidden contents

 

player_upgrade.sqf (working fine) 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

this works with all my right click extra buildables, geeks admin build, p4l, vectors, and snap pro

 

Now, for me i've got this working pretty much fine. i've just noticed that metal floors don't like to be saved with vectors. they reset to being flat on restart. 

is this a common issue? or is this due to the changes ive made to get things working with my customised files?

 

everything else i've built on my test server is fine. and saves correctly. 

the worldspace doesn't appear to be getting updated in my sql db for floors like it is with everything else

 

example below: 

ObjectUID;Instance;Classname;Datestamp;LastUpdated;CharacterID;Worldspace;Inventory;Hitpoints;Fuel;Damage
1985044584080;11;CinderWall_DZ;2014-08-09 13:17:07;2014-08-09 13:17:07;660;[353.354,[1984.97,4458.41,0.039],"76561198035522330",[[-0.116,0.993,0],[-0.702,-0.082,0.707]]];[];[];0.00000;0.00000

ObjectUID;Instance;Classname;Datestamp;LastUpdated;CharacterID;Worldspace;Inventory;Hitpoints;Fuel;Damage
19830445542983;11;MetalFloor_DZ;2014-08-09 13:20:41;2014-08-09 13:20:41;660;[83.337,[1983.03,4455.39,2.86],"76561198035522330"];[];[];0.00000;0.00000

edit* im just going through my player_build.sqf again and have noticed some of my PVDZE_obj_Publish = lines have omitted the _vector part.  i'll re-add and see how it goes 

edit2* i updated player_build.sqf to include the _vector lines... lo and behold it all works. it was me who stuffed up (no surprises there haha) 

 

updated player_build.sqf  (working with vectors, snap-pro, plot 4 life, geeks admin build + extra right click buildables)

this one functions properly. it is based off prymary's

  Reveal hidden contents 

ObjectUID;Instance;Classname;Datestamp;LastUpdated;CharacterID;Worldspace;Inventory;Hitpoints;Fuel;Damage
198104448612142;11;MetalFloor_DZ;2014-08-09 14:18:49;2014-08-09 14:18:49;660;[265.291,[1980.96,4448.6,1.151],"76561198035522330",[[-0.705,-0.058,0.707],[0.705,0.058,0.707]]];[];[];0.00000;0.00000

Vectors now saving to the database with metal floors! yay
