Manually trigger EpochEvents

[Guest]

Hi guys,

 

is there a way to manually trigger EpochEvents for debugging?

Editing, recompiling, uploading, server restarting, login, downloading mpmission.pbo, waiting for event ... is killing my nerves.  <_<

 

Thanks

[Kind-Sir]

Yes,

You can use the AddAction code to add the option to your scrollwheel.
player addAction ["Do Event", "events\dostuff.sqf",, -10, true, true, "", ""];

Terrific! Thanks a lot! :D

a Very Big Thx 

 

i put a menu' scroll to one inventory obj :D

now i can start a special event during play :D

 

i need just the "special" item in my hand :D

[duncajcb]

would either of you mind showing us an example of your script?

Second that request :D

I am trying to do the same thing, how do i fire up an event manually?

[duncajcb]

I'm guessing this is the section we would be using. When I get home later I will test and let you guys know my results.

SQS example:

_genAct = generator addAction ["Switch on generator", "activate_generator.sqs"]

activate_generator.sqs:

_gen = _this select 0

_caller = _this select 1

_id = _this select 2

; remove the action once it is activated

_gen removeAction _id

This example shows an action called "Switch on generator" added to an object with the name 'generator'. As soon as the player gets close to this object, he can execute the given action via the action menu. Then the script 'activate_generator.sqs' is executed, which in our example only removes the action from the generator.

Say i want to call up an event as an admin (with a certain UID), how would i implement this? 

[Joerivang]

I tried adding this to the end of my fn_selfactions: 

//Admin events
if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["123456789"]) then { 
if (goldrun < 0) then {
		goldrun = player addaction[("<t color=""#FDB813"">" + ("Gold Run") +"</t>"),"gold_run.sqf",_cursorTarget, 0, false, true, "", ""];
};
if (lootevent < 0) then {
		lootevent = player addaction[("<t color=""#39B0FF"">" + ("Loot event") +"</t>"),"loot_event.sqf",_cursorTarget, 0, false, true, "", ""];
};
} else {
    player removeAction goldrun;
    goldrun = -1;
	player removeAction lootevent;
    lootevent = -1;
};

Didn't work tough, how do i get it to work? (btw i changed the UID here, had my own in it).

[Joerivang]

I tried creating a file called adminevent.sqf and adding the following (UID replaced with fake one):

waituntil {!alive player ; !isnull (finddisplay 46)};
if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["123456789"]) then {
	sleep 10;
	player addaction[("<t color=""#FDB813"">" + ("Gold Run") +"</t>"),"gold_run.sqf",_cursorTarget, 0, false, true, "", ""];
	player addaction[("<t color=""#39B0FF"">" + ("Loot event") +"</t>"),"loot_event.sqf",_cursorTarget, 0, false, true, "", ""];
};

And adding this to the init.sqf on the bottom of the file:

//Admin events
[]execVM "scripts\adminmenu\adminevent.sqf"

Not working either, menu doesn't show up.

 

Am i looking in the right direction here?

i use this :

 

in mission i create a folder named "eventi"

 

and put 3 event in it (giallo.spf , blu,sqf, rosso,sqf)

 

then i use a fn_selfaction and put inside 

//Trigger event KARENA
    
_karena = items player;

    if ("Cobalt_File" in _karena) then {
        hasBagItem = true;
    } else { hasBagItem = false;};
    if((speed player <= 1) && hasBagItem && _canDo) then {
        if (evento < 0) then {
            evento = player addaction[("<t color=""#ffff15"">" + ("Evento Giallo") +"</t>"),"eventi\giallo.sqf","",-10,false,true,"", ""];
            evento1 = player addaction[("<t color=""#1515ff"">" + ("Evento Blu") +"</t>"),"eventi\blu.sqf","",-10,false,true,"", ""];
            evento2 = player addaction[("<t color=""#ff1515"">" + ("Evento Rosso") +"</t>"),"eventi\rosso.sqf","",-10,false,true,"", ""];
            };
    } else {
        player removeAction evento;
        evento = -1;
        player removeAction evento1;
        evento1 = -1;
        player removeAction evento2;
        evento2 = -1;
    };
//fine trigger event KARENA

immediately after the _canDo

 

u can put this after the selfblod

 

now u MUST have a special item in inventory " Cobalt_File " 

[Joerivang]

And what is this item Cobalt_File? And what if this falls in the wrong hands?

[Joerivang]

Double post, sorry.

[karena]

cobalt_file is itemtool NON in loot tablet for now, u can put cobalt_file in your inventory whit the special loadout or whit manual add in db or can spawn it whit some admin tool.

 

if u not like it ... u can change it :D

 

 

if cobalt file is in player hand ... the playe can start the Event.

your best bet is to shuffle through the BE filters searching for the exact reasons you were kicked.

not sure which host you are using or if you are using a personal machine but its all about the same.

bump on activating epoch events from client side....normally no extra client script....actually activating epoch event file on server.

[Tricks]

Anyone have this working for 1.0.5.1/125548??

[ssthief]

I used this 

 

 

works awesome.  I used Noxsicarius admin tools for the menu and admin check.
