Disable loot spawn in plotpole/safezone areas

[Achmed]

On my server I have safe trader zones and also clear zombies from the plot pole area. To stop abuse of this i also want to stop loot from spawning in safezones and plot pole areas.

 

I can disable pick up of loot in the safe zone script but this also prevents loot from being picked up thats dropped. Ideally what im after is a way to stop it spawning all together in a safezone/plot pole area,

 

anyone know if its possible and if so how?

Anyone?

In player_spawncheck.sqf find this section (should be around line 107-110):

if(_canLoot) then {

		_dis = _x distance player;

		//Loot
		if ((_dis < 120) && (_dis > 30) && !_inVehicle) then {
			_looted = (_x getVariable ["looted",-0.1]);
			_cleared = (_x getVariable ["cleared",true]);
			_dateNow = (DateToNumber date);
			_age = (_dateNow - _looted) * 525948;
			//diag_log ("SPAWN LOOT: " + _type + " Building is " + str(_age) + " old" );
			if ((_age > DZE_LootSpawnTimer) && (!_cleared)) then {
				_nearByObj = nearestObjects [(getPosATL _x), ["WeaponHolder","WeaponHolderBase"],((sizeOf _type)+5)];
				{deleteVehicle _x} count _nearByObj;
				_x setVariable ["cleared",true,true];
				_x setVariable ["looted",_dateNow,true];
			};
			if ((_age > DZE_LootSpawnTimer) && (_cleared)) then {
				//Register
				_x setVariable ["looted",_dateNow,true];
				//cleanup
				_x call building_spawnLoot;
			};
		};

Then add under

if (_canloot) then

this:

_nearbyPole = (getPos _x) nearestObject  "Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ";
    if (isNull _nearbyPole) then {

This should prevent the loot spawn for plot poles, for safezones too i think i should be "Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ","Info_board_EP1" but i dont know it 100%.

 

Here is a default edited player_spawncheck.sqf http://pastebin.com/XNddFfWU

thanks ill give it a try.

 

how is the distance set that it covers as from what i can see it just checks if you are near the plotpole?

[Achmed]

not sure why as no error message but every time i had this active i could not log in and got stuck on the loading screen

You could try to use mine: http://pastebin.com/ZNNpmPCR. I didn't test it but it should work. It checks if plotpole is nearby and if player is in tradercity. If you still have problems post your RPT log.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

does it go in player spawn check or do I call it from the init?

Just replace everything in player_spawncheck.sqf.

StiflersM0M, I tried your code and it does seem to prevent loot from spawning within plot pole range, but doesn't prevent loot from spawning in traders. Any chance you can tell me what to do to prevent loot from spawning within trader safe zones?
