[Release] Call your Car v0.1 (for use w/, w/o Masterkey Script)

[jahangir13]

This is nothing essential, it's a fun script.

 

Script calls a specific car to the player location via key.
If a watch (as in Knight Rider) and the key is in the players inventory, car starts to drive if fuel check was positive.

F7 toggles Cam mode (F8 toggles NV in Cam mode) during the drive.
Small debug monitor shows some information (distance, time, speed, fuel, damage).
Zombies and junk on the way will be killed/deleted in a specific radius (need to play with the radius values a bit. maybe classnames still missing)
Car will be locked during the ride and after arrival.

If car is within the destination radius, the driver died or left the car or the car cannot move anymore, the scripts stops with a message.

Configurable.

Battleye:

This needs be entered in these 3 files: waypointstatement.txt,  remoteexec.txt, waypointcondition.txt

!="true" !=""

E.g.: waypointcondition.txt

//new
5 "" !="true" !=""

 

-----

 

Check the line number which is responsible for the kick in waypointstatements.log.

 

Pathfinding is not very clever in Arma2 but works. I did not test how calling the car over the whole map works. I wanted to have a way to park at some loot area, walk around, go to another 2 or 3 houses and from there call the car to not need to go back ,)

ui_selectSlot.sqf and Battleye settings stay the same for both versions.

For the Masterkey script version you need to include the dialog file (wherever you store that) at the end of your description.ext:

// CallCar
#include "custom\jtools\CallCar_mk.hpp"

[RedBreath]

Aww man this looks amazing!

[ElDubya]

Any idea on how this affects other player controlled vehicles travelling in opposite directions on the same roads?

Does it do anything to their vehicles?

What if you are on an island and call the car?

Also, can you call heli's as well, or just cars (land vehicles)?

Are all land vehicles call-able?

 

I really like this, it looks fantastic :)

[RedBreath]

Will it be compatible with JAEM?

[Proximus]

Awsome work!

Wondering how this will work if people use the MasterKey script.

 

If a player has 3 cars with the same key, will all 3 cars come to the player?

[jahangir13]

Masterkey script: First version works without. But I will have a look how I can dynamically add the available vehivles for the key to an array and from there to a scroll wheel menu so that the right car can be chosen. Not very familiar with menus yet.

But yes, I guess in this versions maybe 3 cars will drive ;) Did not check this so far.

 

Other cars: I guess that's as with a human driver. You need to be careful that the other driver will not rush into you :) There is some kind of collision detection for the auto drivers. So if there is a zombie nearby the car stops or tries to get around. This does not work for garbage on the road...I think cause this is not alive (or these classnames are not known to pathfinding as something blocking the road).

 

Islands: hopefully the car stops at the border of the island ;)

 

I switched off helis for now...as I need to land them first. So it does not work out of the box so far. Therefore I use Evac Heli. Cars and Motorcycles work so far. But I guess helis just need to have a few lines of code which lands them at the destination position. Changing the classname to a heli let the heli hover in the ait and stay there.

 

I am not sure how well this works with several players on the server or far distances. Was just playing around with AI units in vehicles and thought this could be funny.

[Proximus]

Will use this as soon as you have something for the Masterkey script :wub:

[jahangir13]

@Proximus: maybe you first try it out with a spawned car with a key where only 1 car exist for this key

You could call the script in fn_selfActions with a check for your player uid...so only you can execute it or put that check into ui_selectSlot so that the key option only shows up for you.

 

Maybe you don't want it anymore after that ;) For a heli it's easier as it just get into the air, flies to the target and lands there. If there is no tree nearby or something this works fine. I was wondering how well that worked with a car for me in my tests. But I don't know how well this works if there is more trouble on the map or far distances used.

 

I wanted to collect some feedback first before I change something again.

[Proximus]

I will install this tonight and let you know!

Also will test it with 2 vehicles sharing the same key and let you know what happends.

[MatthewK]

Excellent script. I'm going to make this a Hero perk :)

 

I like the camera mode. Is there anything like that for admin tools , just asking ? 

[jahangir13]

What do you mean with  'for admin tools'? I think spectate mode in admin tools works a bit like this I guess. I just shows a camera view of another object/player.

[MatthewK]

The spectate tool only shows you a 3rd or 1st person view from the players perspective.

I like this because it shows you from an overhead view. 

 

I don't want to hijack your post btw, so I'll do some research and leave this thread alone. 

Thanks again , great addition :)

[jahangir13]

Ah, it's just where you point the camera to. I said: place the camera above the vehicle (20 m behind it, 60m high above it and with a bit angle (if that works)).

So I could also tell the camera to show me what e.g. the driver sees.

 

So if you want to have that similar in admin tools you need to adapt the spectate script and give the cam a reletive position to the object:

 

_camera camSetRelPos [0, -20, _camHeight];

 

I did not have a look into the admin tools code as I am at work. But I guess this should work like this.

[truongdatnhan]

I Love It :wub: :wub:

[calamity]

very expert....

[Proximus]

Installed and tested.

Works great!

 

Also tested it with the MasterKey.

 

Had 2 cars with 1 key.

Called the car, only the original car came to me, so the vehicle where the key was not from originally, stayed.

[jahangir13]

Ah no...it can just call the first key found. If it finds one, it stops the loop and calls this one. It was by chance that it was the 'original' or first one as all are looking the same in DB.

To support several ones it's not just changing the exitWith in the loop. I need to collect them in an array and loop via this to call all.

For me the difficult part (as I did not do it before) is providing a list of all found to the player (via command menu or dialog) to select the one wanted. I will not start today...but over the weekend I will get some time to implement that I hope.

 

Thanks for testing!

[Proximus]

Ok, thanks!

 

One more thing.

Me as an admin have a working F7 and F8 option.

When a "normal" player uses it, nothing happends.

 

I'm using infistar.

The player gets no warning for pressing a wrong key or something.

[THEbookie]

I like and love how this was put together and everything but damn with mods like this and that heli call script your just making things a walk in the park for this game and for all the lazy people. I thought it was meant to be hard lol

 

Anyway I'm not bashing it at all but how will this be countered if someone stole your car and sticks it in there built up base? will the car just pass through the wall/garage door? or will it get stuck on them and keep damaging itself till it blows up along with everything else in that said base?

It can be configured if you don't want it to be really easy. Use a rare item, such as a laser designator or radio (depending on how rare they are on your server). Regarding cars going through base walls & doors, I would guess at no - the vehicle will most likely become stuck, seeing as they stop at road obstacles that are too hard to navigate around. Base items such as doors etc aren't on the debris array in the callcar.sqf either.

 

Just implemented this on our Origins Epoch server, works well and you'll do well to

• Find the item you need to have in your inventory
• Have your vehicle travel a long distance, as Origins 3.5 has a lot of wrecks built in to the map.

Works better when you've parked your vehicle away from the road. Just watched a test car keep offroad for 3km and reach me. Cheers jahangir13

[ChesterCheetoz]

So a normal player can spectate their?  I can see people abusing this on pvp servers if so.  Just leave their car parked somewhere in the town or wherever theyre at, go hide somewhere else and use the spectate to see around areas they were unable to see before. 

[ChesterCheetoz]

Don't get me wrong, you did a great job and I love the idea.  If the path finding were better I would think about tossing it on my Pve server.  I'm not trying to take anything away from the work you did, I'm just pointing out my concern about it.  Great job though.

[jahangir13]

If you want to spectate the car you need to call it. You cannot just park it somewhere and have a look without.

You can set the height of the cam above the car...so if this is lower you do not see much around the car.

 

But yes, the comments you all send here are important to maybe make something out of it in the end or not.

 

The story was just: I wanted to see if the car can drive automatically. Then I thought I need a cam or something if it might get stuck somewhere to see where it is.

I released it to get some ideas from others.

Maybe you could have someone buy an item from the trader like a car upgrade, radio or something. Then that person has to scroll on the car to attach said Item and maybe then have it as some kind of remote control car that starts losing power the further away it is from you. That mite be cool

[carl101]

Would this script work on origins taviana? Just wondering as there's a lot of crap on the roads on that map and just not sure whether the script removed that sort of stuff or not when the cars within range of it all.
