[Fixed] Animated Crash Spawner 1051

[f3cuk]

Yeah that would be awesome. I'll add them to the OP when done :)

Nice script. How can I adjust the loot that spawns on the actual heli crashes? Also how can I reduce the radius of the map marker? Thanks.

[PryMary]

Yeah no problem :)

 

 

 

I'll do you some once i've done Origins for PryMary

 

*Edit*

 

I might as well do all maps, people can always change them if they don't like them and at least then F3cuk can say his scripts supports all maps.

I love you guys & this forum... Everyone is so helpful :) *2 x thumbs up*

Hi Link. You can change the loot table to whatever kind of loot you want to spawn. If you look at the top portion of the script you'll notice different aircraft actually have different types of loot.

To change the size of the marker change _markerRadius (Note: Make sure its always a higher number then _exploRange.). Setting a _exploRange lower then 250 is not advised cause sometime the helicopter wont get close enough to the area to actually trigger the explosion. When that happens it will keep flying circles around the waypoint and only crash when taken down or no fuel.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

If you guys used the Epoch Hive Tools, you could click on the map and get the coordinates that way. Much easier than messing with the editor.

[f3cuk]

Ah lol. I actually have that installed but didn't think of it xD

Ok cool. Another question is, I notice that heli's that get looted by players have their markers left on the map and they dont dissappear until restart. How can I remove markers that get added after a certain period of time, e.g. delete marker 20 minutes after it marks on map or delete after heli has been tempered with by a player.

Hmm. Let me look into that, it should disappear after a certain while.

It actually does not. Try this, haven't tested but this should check if a player is near the crash site and remove the marker if if's the case.

 

Edit: Removed shit code.

[2sugars]

Nice script f3cuk! Thanks for sharing.

 

I get this in rpt after heli explodes.

20:07:59 "_iClass isNil, exiting loot spawn!"

Any ideas, am running overpoch with loot table adjusted accordingly.

 

Thanks in advance

[f3cuk]

Hi 2sugars,

Thanks, but i wanna make it clear that this is not my script. There's a few people that have worked on this, but mainly credits should go to Grafzahl and Finest. I merely did some bugfixes and enhancements.

 

--

Hmm i dont know if all of the used loot tables work for Overpoch. Make sure you got these

• MilitarySpecial
• Hospital
• HeliCrash

If not, change them to tables you do have. If you are unsure please post your loot table file.

[2sugars]

Thanks for quick reply - i'll look into it & post changes

 

Cheers!

 

EDIT

 

Ok just realised I had done a fresh install & not updated loot table to Overwatch weapons etc. I still had

DZE_MissionLootTable = true;

in my init. Removed it & loot spawning now.

 

Thanks for the help!

[BetterDeadThanZed]

F3cuk, could you add the name of the crash to the marker? Ie: UH60 Crash?

[Link]

I tried your edit for removing the map markers after players get within a certain range of them but they are still not being removed from the map

[f3cuk]

I know. Have worked on a new version tonight. Not quite finished, will release a tested version tomorrow.
 

The new version will include

• Marker cleanup after the first person has secured the crashsite;
• Corrected marker placement (it always spawned on pre-defined crash site, even if taken down or crashed somewhere else);
• Added a "Survivors have secured the crash site" message;
• Added vehicle start damage to planes (will cause them to smoke);
• Changed the starting positions for Chernarus (with help of Richie);
• Lowered the speed of planes;
• Lowered the altitude of planes;
• Set the correct facing direction on the crash model;
• Fixed issue where you would sometimes see the pilot bailing and getting deleted as soon as landed.

 

Have not tested this yet. But if anyone wants to try:

Ok i'll test this out, and the new version sounds good. I appreciate your work, thanks :)

[fireplace]

Anyway not to show a marker? Seems a really easy way for people to get high end loot.

[nismo1969]

Line 217 should be this.

_crash = createVehicle [_crashModel,_position, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

 

hope this helps

[f3cuk]

Nope all that does is set the crash model to the pre-defined location instead of the location where the helicopter actually went down..

--

Release 1.3.1

 

Added

• Marker cleanup after the first person has secured the crashsite;
• Added a "Survivors have secured the crash site" message;
• Added vehicle start damage to planes (will cause them to smoke);
• Ability to hide or show marker;
• Ability to hide or show crahsname.

Fixed

• Corrected marker placement (it always spawned on pre-defined crash site, even if taken down or crashed somewhere else);
• Fixed issue where you would sometimes see the pilot bailing and getting deleted as soon as landed;
• Set the correct facing direction on the crash model;
• Crashing into sea stops loot from spawning at the bottom of the ocean, does not display a marker and show a message that the helicopter or plane has crashed into the ocean.

Misc

• Changed the starting positions for Chernarus (with help of Richie);
• Lowered the speed of planes;
• Lowered the altitude of planes;
• Enhanced damage models;
• Enhanced loot tables per vehicle.

@Richie: How far are you with the coordinates for the other maps?

[Richie]

Updated coordinates for Chernarus, further away from the coast as requested :) :

Origins version of Taviana :

Normal version of Taviana 2.0 (Can be used with or instead of Origins Taviana)

 

_heliStart                = [[11558.516, -56.829834],[7787.207, 3972.2046],[2279.2651, 6822.7891],[5548.9434, 8449.1914],[9465.4697, 7223.2925],[17441.467, 5454.5791],[13474.444, 11853.039],[8848.6611, 18823.994],[16224.908, 13310.733],[15171.845, 7629.0879]] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

 

Next up is Origins Taviana, normal Taviana,Napf, Sauerland and Panthera - That should be them all ?

Thanks man, added to OP.

Will be another update tonight. Noticed the markername is not properly showing and planes sometimes crash instantly. Will fix those asap.

I have some problems with the markers. Sometimes markers for heli crashes show with the black mil dot and sometimes they don't, The helicrashes with the black mil dot have their yellow eclipse marker removed when players go close to it, however the black mil dot remains on the map and doesn't get deleted along with the yellow eclipse marker, I think this may need fixing.

 

Also I have noticed at night time that the heli crashes are no longer on fire, why is this? I have the config set as the following;

_spawnFire                = true;                // Spawn Smoke/Fire at the helicrash
_fadeFire                = false;                // Fade the Smoke/Fire overtime

Thanks.

The issues with the markers have been fixed in 1.3.2. The problem you are experiencing with crashes no longer being on fire probably has to do with rain that has put out the fire, i do not know how to counter this (nor do i find it realistic so i will not perue a 'fix' for this), what i did do is make the fire / smoke more intense.

 

I have the yellow marker but no black mil_dot / text.

 

This has been fixed in the latest version.
