Animated Ikea truck? Moving marked patrols?

DynaMike · October 1, 2014

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.

waited for your reply schwede, thanks for the code.

my guess: iam not experienced enough to think that way.

iam really excited if your lines are working, will post feedback asap!

thanks again man!

Edit: Schwede, du bist Deutscher?

jo bin ich :)

Ok tell me if its working. If not, don't forget to post the rpt

ok, well then lets forst try to get this started first before we start to customize it ^^

try this one:

not sure about the _unitgroup variable though, lets just cross fingers :D

if (isServer) then {

post your RPT if not working

EDIT:

Just found exactly what you need, at least if i read the code right:

hi schwede,

thanks for your help in advance, really glad someone experienced is with me.

i hope we/you can make it work.

~~using the latest wia version 2.2.0 beta 3 - but this doesnt work either...~~

~~i will try it with the "master" branch of wia.~~

~~EDIT: my bad, thought this belongs to the original wia missions, didnt saw that this is a different script.~~

ryker · March 16, 2015

damn, at noxsicarius script nothing is moving from one location to another.

inside the "building.sqf" there are no "waypoints", its just a "static" mission.

schwede hast du noch lust weiterzu probieren?

would be awesome to get this working/moving.

This is my first attempt at making something so go easy lol can someone help me get this finished, i will share with the community :)

I Called it Moving_Convoy, i would like it if i could get some help on this please after seeing the code i thought i would give it a go i think it looks ok but im not sure about the _waypoint_data = _this select 3; And the _num_waypoints = _this select 4; settings This is for WAI Mission.

ok, well then lets get back to the old version with waypoints and try to get rid of the errors one by one:

		_vehicle setvehiclelock "UNLOCKED";

		_unitGroup setBehaviour "COMBAT";

};

This should be now without the missing _mission variable, Post the RPT

======================

@Tech_Support: as far as i can tell _waypoint_data = _this select 3; And the _num_waypoints = _this select 4; should be just some random numbers. As soon as the convoy is moving we are able to customize it, till then we would like to move it, move it move it ^^

Tech_Support · March 17, 2015

isnt that what this is for _wp setWaypointType "MOVE"; ?? this makes it travel on roads _wp setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; ??

    for "_i" from 1 to _num_waypoints do {

       _rand_nr    = ceil(random((_count_wp - _i)));
       _waypoint    = (_waypoint_data select _rand_nr);
       _waypoint_data set[_rand_nr,-1];
       _waypoint_data   = _waypoint_data - [-1];

       _wp = _unitgroup addWaypoint [(_waypoint select 1),0];

       if(_i == _num_waypoints) then {
           _wp setWaypointType "GUARD";
       } else {
           _wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
       };

       _wp setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
       _wp setWaypointCombatMode "RED";

SchwEde · March 17, 2015

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

ryker · March 17, 2015

i wil post any rpt-errors/logs and progress as soon as i am at home.

I am sure united we will MOVE it!

ryker · March 17, 2015

hi schwede,

i dunno if its related to your mission-code, but i got this in my rpt:

20:03:02 Error in expression <" + str(_mission)); };
wai_mission_data select _mission set [1, _type];
wai_miss>
20:03:02   Error position: <select _mission set [1, _type];
wai_miss>
20:03:02   Error select: Typ Array, erwartet Zahl,Bool
20:03:02 File z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\compile\mission_init.sqf, line 13

the difference i see, is how the mission itsself is inited:

[_mission,_position,"Medium",format["Disabled %1",_vehname],"MainHero",true] call mission_init;

compared to yours

_mission = [_position,"Hard","Moving Convoy","MainBandit",true] call mission_init;

line 13 in mission_init.sqf:

...

wai_mission_data select _mission set [1, _type];

...

due my lack of scripting knowledge i dont know what or how to change something.

SchwEde · March 17, 2015

hmm.... well me must have different versions then. Could you upload some of your mission then via pastebin, so we can bring this convoy mission in the same structure as the others :)

ryker · March 17, 2015

i use the latest wia 2.2.0 beta 3 from f3cuk.

this is one of the default hero missions:http://pastebin.com/iHUSU1MA

from the latest branch.

ok nice, lets try this version then:

Damn [code]

here is a pastebin link:

ok, give me some minutes... brb

server is restarting... waiting for the mission...

(verdammt, das dass datenbank-laden immer solange dauert... )

SchwEde · March 17, 2015

lets make it a bit faster:

i will be in this chatroom for tonight, so maybe we can get the whole process a bit faster

http://bloochat.com/gj6vn

Tech_Support · March 17, 2015

i use the latest wia 2.2.0 beta 3 from f3cuk.

Thats what i was using to make the convoy with the post i posted idk wtf im doing really so lol it all looked good most of it was copy paste but common sense and a tiny bit of what i thought would make it happen. guess ill leave it to the pro's spent to much time making convoy's with both Mission and Map editors to get no where when trying to add it to dayZ.

Renegade2k6 · March 17, 2015

I had a crack at a convoy script a while ago.

The code i used is here.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30551655/Convoy.rar

Only problem with this script was the fact you had to have a crap load of waypoints for the convoy to follow.

SchwEde · March 17, 2015

well nice one! Seems like the problem is solved now ^^

EDIT: checked the files, i think you forgot some files, at least a icant find scr_fnc folder nowhere, where the waypoints are defined ^^

Tech_Support · March 17, 2015

waypoints from mission editor ?

            class Waypoints
           {
               items=120;
               class Item0
               {
                   position[]={477.77307,6,1651.5812};
                   combatMode="RED";
                   formation="LINE";
                   speed="LIMITED";
                   combat="SAFE";
                   class Effects
                   {
                   };
                   showWP="NEVER";
               };

Or waypoints from Map editor ?

_this = _group_1 addWaypoint [[300.33997, 1622.9105], 0];
_this setWaypointType "LEADER";
_this setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
_this setWaypointFormation "LINE";
_this setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
_this showWaypoint "NEVER";
_waypoint_0 = _this;

Tech_Support · March 17, 2015

Can this be called by WAI missions ?

Could we add mission start and mission ending like WAI with create spawn on completion ?

Or do we have to call it in init.sqf ?

Tech_Support · March 18, 2015

I found this code can any of it be used to create the random waypoints we need ??

// =========================================================================================================
// Convoy creator
// Version: 1.6
// Author: DTM2801
//
// Credits & thanks: TRexian for providing random cargo part
// =========================================================================================================
//
// Description:
// This script wil create a convoy (configurable) and will keep monitoring all convoy vehicles for the correct distance by adjusting speed.
// If the distance between convoy vehicles gets too far the forward vehicle will slowdown and eventually wait until the follower gets back
// in acceptable distance.
//
// Usage:
// - Define a route for the convoy by placing and naming markers on the map.
// - Place a Game Logic on the map at the location and direction where you want the convoy be spawned.
// - Put the initstring in the initialisation field of the Game Logic.
//
// NOTE: ** Functions module must be placed on the map **
//
// Explanation of initstring:
//   null= [1:objectname,2:side,[3:"nameofmarker1","nameofmarker2","nameofmarker3"],4:cycle,5:convoysize,6:delay,[7:"classname1","classname2","classname3"],[8:namevehicle1, namevehicle2, namevehicle3],9:wpmarkers,10:debug]execvm "convoy.sqf";
//
// 1 : _position   : objectname spawnpoint of convoy vehicles (default: this)
// 2: _side       : side of convoy vehicles (WEST, EAST, RESISTANCE,CIVILIAN)
// 3: _wparray   : array of markernames used to create waypoints (have to be between "")
// 4: _wpcycle   : turn on/off cycle waypoint (true/false)
// 5: _convoysize   : number of default spawned vehicles (default: 5)
// 6: _delay       : time between vehicle spawns, needed to prevent pile ups (default: 7)
// 7: _vehiclearray   : array of vehicle classnames by choice, will be spawned it the order left to right (default: [])
// 8: _customarray   : array of vehiclenames on the map (default: [])
// 9: _wpmarkers   : turn on/off display of waypoint markers on map (true/false)
// 10: _debug       : turn on/off debug messages (true/false)
//
// example default vehicles:       null= [this,WEST,["convoywp1","convoywp2","convoywp3"],false,5,7,[],[],true,false]execvm "convoy.sqf";
