#SEM - Simple Epoch Missions v0.8.1 + 0.8.3 test

[KiloSwiss]

Better use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addVehicle

And assignAsDriver, assignAsCargo etc. for specific vehicle roles.

And don't forget to unlock the vehicle, or only lock driver and cargo but allow AI to man turrets if the vehicle is static.

something like this 

_veh = createVehicle["B_MRAP_01_EPOCH", _pos, [], 0, "NONE"];

_veh setDamage 0.8;

_veh setFuel 0;

_veh setVariable["LASTLOGOUT_EPOCH",1000000000000];

_veh setVariable["LAST_CHECK",1000000000000];

//So Vehicle doesnt despawn

EPOCH_VehicleSlotsLimit = EPOCH_VehicleSlotsLimit + 1;

EPOCH_VehicleSlots pushBack str(EPOCH_VehicleSlotsLimit);

_slot = EPOCH_VehicleSlots select 0;

_veh setVariable ['VEHICLE_SLOT',_slot,true];

EPOCH_VehicleSlots = EPOCH_VehicleSlots - [_slot];

EPOCH_VehicleSlotCount = count EPOCH_VehicleSlots;

publicVariable 'EPOCH_VehicleSlotCount';

_veh call EPOCH_server_setVToken;

//Creates vehicle inventory

clearWeaponCargoGlobal    _veh;

clearMagazineCargoGlobal  _veh;

clearBackpackCargoGlobal  _veh;

clearItemCargoGlobal       _veh;

 

_group = [_pos,(15+(random 7))] call SEM_fnc_spawnAI;

//Spawn AI into Vehicle 

_grp = [_pos,2)] call SEM_fnc_spawnAI;

_grp addVehicle _veh

_grp assignAsDriver _veh

_grp assignAsCargo _veh

I put 0.6 on my test server last night, commented out the launchers though. Had another issue where the AI would only fire at me if I was within 50m exactly. 51m they didn't fire, stepped forward to 49 they opened up, anyone else had this behaviour?

Only had that issue once in every long while, and not with the whole mission crew. They work off line of sight, so if they see you at 700 meters, they shoot you at 700 meters. If they don't see you, you can walk up and pop a bullet in their heads. You should move up to v0.7.1 though, lots of improvements.

 

Also, the launchers disappear upon AI death, so players can't pick them up. I think the launcher units keep shite real. Last night they fired a rocket at my team mate, when he was running from one position to another...good stuff!!

[Leigham]

just tried what i posted 2 lines up, getting this ?

You have a ) after the Number.

_grp = [_pos,1] call ...

But the function to spawn AI will always spawn a minimum of 5 Units.

Better take one of the already spawned units and assign him a vehicle role.

[Leigham]

how would i take just one of the ai, or would it just pick one at random  

[Tywin]

Revive player is not working on my server, I have only these missions and a Welcome text script on my server, does anyone know if they could be causing the revive player not to work?

[KiloSwiss]

@Leigham

Do not select the first unit of the group because this is always the leader.

This code selects the last unit, which is never a specialized unit like sniper, SMG, AT-soldier, etc.

_unit = units _group select (count units _group -1);

[Leigham]

Thanks, so if i wanted someone in turret select another unit 

_unit = units _group select (count units _group -2);

_unit  assignAsGunner _veh;

 

? 

 

 

 

~~~ 

Edit, while trying to add just a driver, im getting :

 

17:47:03 Error in expression <select (count units _group -1); 

 

_unit addVehicle _veh;

_unit assignAsDriver _v>

17:47:03   Error position: <addVehicle _veh;

_unit assignAsDriver _v>

17:47:03   Error addvehicle: Type Object, expected Group

 

 

so im doing it as if

_veh = is my vehicle

_group = calls your spawn script

_unit = selects one unit from the _group

[KiloSwiss]

Read the BIS wiki page I linked You, addVehicle expects a group not a single unit.

I don't want to sound mean and I really appreciate Your efford here but, these are basic scripting errors and they tell You exactly what is wrong.

You should be able to fix (most of) them by Yourself.

[Leigham]

i got it, just didnt read it right, if im using addVehicle. im sending a group to the vehicle.

but using assign to, i have to select a single unit 

[Leigham]

Right so.

1. The Mission is working as it should, AI are spawning in the vehicle, it is driving around as it should.

2. The rpt is being spammed, by errors, but the errors arent in the script .pbo its File A3\functions_f\misc\fn_fineSafePos.sqf

[KiloSwiss]

It's great to hear about Your progress *thumbsup*

You can send me the errors via PM and/or ask me directly if You need assistance or help with something.

KiloSwiss how would I configure it for other maps

[Ducky]

This is the last thing I get in my RPT 20:17:20 "#SEM: Start AllowPlayerDamage Script"

20:17:20 "#SEM: Start Simple Epoch Missions"

Then the missions don't spawn

[Ducky]

I think SEM isn't receiving the world data

[Leigham]

how long did you leave it ?

missions dont spawn straight away, unless you edit it in fn_missions.sqf in the pbo, 

and missions dont spawn unless there is a certain amount of players on the server , I have mine set to 1 :D 

[Ducky]

Yeah I had mine set to 10-15 mins and then 1 player and it didn't spawn after 20 mins

[Leigham]

if you need help join my ts,  "udskies.co.uk"

[Leigham]

this is the chunk of RPT that spams :D

Revive player is not working on my server, I have only these missions and a Welcome text script on my server, does anyone know if they could be causing the revive player not to work?

Not sure if it's related but mine has also stopped working reliably. I however also have other scripts running and VEMF loaded.

[Ducky]

No I have ported over to panthers and installed sem but its isn't being given the locations of the map or the world data would anyone know how I could fix this

[KiloSwiss]

Are You talking about Panthera Island?

SEM is configured to work with every custom Island, there should be no problem at all.

I will double check the code of my getWorldData function tomorrow, just to make sure everything works.

@Leigham

You are sending wrong data in Your arguments, or not enough arguments at all to the function BIS_fnc_findSafePos

Greez KiloSwiss

[Ducky]

Cheers kiloswiss yeah panthera god damn auto correct

[Leigham]

i havent edited anything in the getpos file ? 

just adding the players to the vic, 

do you think maybe spawn a fresh AI just for that mission ?
