Animated Ikea truck? Moving marked patrols?

I would like a MOVING truck (maybe with a live updated marker) to move from 1 position to another on the map.  

The objective would be to intercept and shoot the driver (and co-driver) and then grabbing the vehicle with the loot INSIDE.

If vehicle gets destroyed then some loot will spawn around like a chopper crash.

 

I like the idea of a moving marker (saw it in Wasteland) but it could also just be start and end position shown.

 

Both start position and end position should be randomly set.  So players are able to chase the vehicle but as such not knowing where the mission starts.

 

 

I have tried editing the existing animated crash spawner but had no luck.  Anyone willing or wanting to take on this task?  Creating this would result in unlimited variations for server owners.  They will be able to create missions based on this and activating their players even more.  ATV/MC patrols getting chased.  Policecar on its way to apprehend criminals - intercept and protect your friends = loot

 

The possibilities are MANY.

 

Should be run as an Epoch event.

ok, well then lets get back to the old version with waypoints and try to get rid of the errors one by one: if (isServer) then { private["_vehicle","_position","_unitGroup","_waypoint_data","_num

yes it is, but first need to get rid of the errors so the script is working right first, see the RPT log from ryker

The problem is currently the unit creation

 

wasteland (the version that dayz servers used) uses civilian units and adds them into the vehicles

 

the problem behind this is that they wont attack you on their own, since survivors and units would be on the same faction.

Iam trying to sort this out using opfor, but I want to have a look into the wicked AI unitcreation first.

 

The overall scripts is basically the same as in Wasteland, just using random locations to go instead of the Mission and town markers

ah Cmon ^^, put all your brains together, look at some excisting scripts and try to make it boys ^^.

 

it's pretty doable if not saing easy ^^.

 

Some tips i can give u just by head. 

  • Busscript on the coastline
  • Vehicle patrol script (DZAI i think).
  • DZAI updating of mission marker to keep track of the truck :)
  • Add EAST characters in the truck. 
  • Add timer to delete the convoy after x minuts

as far as the convoy timer... not quite what im looking for. If you noticed the brown marker in the pic from an earlier post, that is the target destination. Once the AI got there, they parked, got out, and patrolled the area.

 

Any tips for that? 0=]

Guess you could enhance it to suit your needs :) All the code is there to suit your needs.

Sweet, is this going into compiles for a new type of static mission? Just curious since it has no completion indicator that i can tell, just log msgs for rpt 

Or am i retarded and its already in 2.2.0 v3 (what im using) somewhere?

Its a new type of dynamic mission. Check the github testbranch for the mission file :)

I see now. going to play with this on my test server =] 

It may solve my issue with my C130/Cargo plane mission clearing once i remove the crate. 

 

As far the script from scratch, im stumped. Every time i try to alter the bus script i just break it lol.

Where's the GITHUB test branch?  When I got to the download links in the main WAI thread, it just downloads a ZIP file.  And a Google search only found the GITHUB link for 2.1.4.

 

I've been wanting to set up dynamic missions for a while, as well as static missions where the spawn locations are semi-random, being picked from a location array.  I have a Sector B on our Epoch Overwatch Origins server and have machine gunners on the wall (among other places) but players know where they are.  Making them able to spawn into one of several locations will make it more challenging.  Haven't figured out how to do that yet either.

you might just be able to put the Gear script line into the DZAI Vehicle patrol script

hi there,

i installed the testbranch, and tried to run the "convoy mission" (copy/paste from f3cuk post)  but rpt gives me an error:

15:22:20 Error in expression <movingconvoy.sqf"
if (isServer) then {

_this spawn {

private["_vehicle","_posi>
15:22:20   Error position: <_this spawn {

private["_vehicle","_posi>
15:22:20   Error Nicht definierte Variable in Ausdruck: _this
15:22:20 File z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\missions\hero\movingconvoy.sqf, line 3

can anyone help me with this please?

hi schwede,

i didnt call it anywhere in special, i just put the script as movingconvoy.sqf inside the hero mission folder.

in WIA/config i commented out the other missions  and only added:

 

wai_hero_missions            = [["movingconvoy",100]];

 

 

is there another way to make it work?

greetings ryker

ok, well why not try to make it in the same structure as the original missions without the __this spawn { ?

if (isServer) then {


		private["_vehicle","_position","_unitgroup","_waypoint_data","_num_waypoints","_leader","_count_wp","_waypoints","_waypoint_prev","_msg","_wp"];
