How to change placement timer?

[semipr0]

Okay...so I have a very limited field of view and I'm placing a ceiling but I can't get on the roof to place it so I have to do it from the bottom.

 

But I have a 50 second building limit so almost 2/3rds of that time is spent hitting page up and then I have to hurry....is it straight? Am I in the right place? OH GOD JUST HIT SPACE BAR HURRY.....FUCK ITS FUCKING CROOKED!

 

Yeah...can I please adjust my servers building timer? Cause this is driving me and my players insane. We have so many Leaning Towers of Horrible going on cause we can't place items accurately with the 50 second time limit AND the field of view limitations we're dealing with.

 

So yeah....any help?

Its in dayz_code\actions\player_build.sqf

if(_counter >= 50) exitWith {

Copy

dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf
dayz_code\actions\player_build.sqf

to a folder in your mission.pbo. (I named it "custom")

 

init.sqf

 

progressLoadingScreen 0.4;

- call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions

+ call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions

progressLoadingScreen 0.5;

 

compiles.sqf

- player_build = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\player_build.sqf";

+ player_build = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\player_build.sqf";

Thank you for the fast response. I'm definitely going to fix that on my next restart cause its driving me insane.

would it be possible to change it from a timer that runs constantly to a timer that kicks in if you are not moving the object?

 

e.g when pressing pgup the timer does not work, you pause and the timer starts, you press pgup again and the timer stops.

I +1 Mathewjknott's suggestion and I'd like to ask that a REMOVE buildable option be added, so you can remove something if it doesn't look right after placing it.. Maybe just for the life of your current character.  There was some code on here to do it, but for some reason it didn't work on my server..  :(

I always thought the timer was only used to limit the range of whatever you are building. What I mean is if there was no timer or it would only start counting if you move you could build floors and stuff high in the air without any connection to other parts.. just my opinion what else is the point of the timer, it could just go forever until you hit escape :p
