EpochEvents Supply Drop

[LimpNoodle]

Hi guys,

 

Are the Supply Drops added in 1.0.2.2 working currently? (running 1.0.2.3)

 

In the init.sqf you have this:

 

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"]];

 

According to that it is suppose to run the supply_drop.sqf 15 minutes past the hour? I have also looked at the file itself and there is a marker in there. I don't see any supply drops on the server though.

 

Any help here maybe?

 

TY

Uncomment this line in supply_drop.sqf

//diag_log(format["CRASHSPAWNER: Spawning '%1' with loot table '%2' NOW! (%3) at: %4", _crashName, _lootTable, time, str(_position)]);

 

Then check your RPT log.

[LimpNoodle]

Thanks. I've done that for the next restart and keep and eye on it

@Snowmobil

 

Ok did that and they are spawning thx! Had to go check the coords in my editor and then go there in game because there was no marker. They are suppose to spawn with map markers right? or do I need to fix another thing for that?

[LimpNoodle]

Ok nevermind. Sorted it and also added an announcement in the middle of the screen :D

I am not getting the announcements nor a map marker. any idea where to look?

[ChesterCheetoz]

Nor am I.

Uncomment this line in supply_drop.sqf

//diag_log(format["CRASHSPAWNER: Spawning '%1' with loot table '%2' NOW! (%3) at: %4", _crashName, _lootTable, time, str(_position)]);

 

Then check your RPT log.

Is that all I am required to Do, Uncomment That line And Supply Drops Will Function On my server? Help or advice Would be greatly appreciated Thanks,

Uncommenting that line will only show if they spawn in your server RPT log.

Okay Thanks Man, Do you know How I would be able to Add map Marker's So players Can Identify The location of the Spawns? Any Information Would Be Great

Thanks.

well supply drops are most likely like Heli crashes, They don't show up on map with markers, u have to find them, but you can look in this topic and u might find something that u can fit in there :P

What am I supposed to look for in the RPT btw?

[LimpNoodle]

You can always add map markers with something like this (edit supply_drop.sqf)

	_position = [getMarkerPos _spawnMarker,0,_spawnRadius,10,0,2000,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
+	 // above only creates a marker, not a map marker, this should fix it but might need to look at markersize, and may need to delete after set wait time. Code by Limp & Spike
+	_mapmarker = createMarker ["mapmarker", _position];
+	_mapmarker setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
+	_mapmarker setMarkerType "Flag";
+	_mapmarker setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
+	_mapmarker setMarkerSize [100, 100];
+	mapmarker = _mapmarker;
	
+	[nil,nil,rTitleText,"Supply drop inbound!", "PLAIN",6] call RE;

	diag_log(format["CRASHSPAWNER: Spawning '%1' with loot table '%2' NOW! (%3) at: %4", _crashName, _lootTable, time, str(_position)]); // Comment this out to not show on RPT

Hope that helps

Where in the supply_drop.sqf would I add this code?

Right under the following part

 

_position = [getMarkerPos _spawnMarker,0,_spawnRadius,10,0,2000,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

 

You add the + parts, but not the +'s themselves

You mention in this code "may need to delete after set wait time".  How would I do that?

 

Thanks!

What are the PLUS + signs for?????? Nothing else in my file has a plus sign in it.
