Random Spawn Script

[Matijs]

This might be not the way to do this, but I dont reallly care, because it works.

This script was made for a server to be able to have random spawns. (Spawn points given by the administrator.)

Make a script called spawnpoints.sqf:

 
if (isNil "inSpawnPoint") then {
inSpawnPoint = false;
};
 
while {true} do {
waitUntil { inSpawnPoint };
titleText [format["Entering Spawn Point."],"PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 4;
 
waitUntil { player == vehicle player };
 
thePlayer = vehicle player;

_spawnpointsarray = [
[1745,2107,0.1],
[2737,1980,0.1],
[3663,2130,0.1],
[4109,2317,0.1],
[4813,2086,0.1],
[5825,2023,0.1],
[6357,2082,0.1],
[7198,2533,0.1],
[7226,2187,0.1],
[8045,2835,0.1],
[8577,2320,0.1],
[9286,1902,0.1],
[9840,1786,0.1],
[10466,1886,0.1],
[10243,1576,0.1],
[10857,2275,0.1],
[11939,3402,0.1],
[11105,3009,0.1],
[13509,6166,0.1],
[13081,7804,0.1],
[12940,9326,0.1],
[13170,10292,0.1]
];

systemChat "[DeadZ] Selecting spawn point...";
_selectspawnpoint = _spawnpointsarray select floor random count _spawnpointsarray;
sleep 1;
systemChat "[DeadZ] Spawn point selected. Spawning...";
sleep 1;
thePlayer setPos _selectspawnpoint;

 
waitUntil { !inSpawnPoint };
 
titleText [format["Exiting Spawn Point. Have fun."],"PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 4;

 
};

In the init.sqf add this:

if (!isDedicated) then {
	[] execVM "spawnpoints.sqf";
};

In your mission sqm, create a sensor called SPAWNPOINT like this:

class Sensors
	{
		items=1;
		class Item0
		{
			position[]={6325.6772,0,7807.7412}; //Spawnpoint coords (same as respawn_west & east)
			activationBy="ANY";
			repeating=1;
			interruptable=1;
			age="UNKNOWN";
			name="SPAWNPOINT";
			expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT) < 50;";
			expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";
			expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";
			class Effects
			{
			};
		};
	};

And it should spawn you automaticaly after 2 seconds randomly.

Also you need to remove your portals, or place them -x in the ground.

Tell me if you like it.

This is very nooby, but it works, so no hate.

EDIT: I think you can remove the sleep 1;, im not sure about this, I just added it in for safety, so the player is definetaly going to a new location.

Greetings,

Looks good Matijs.

 

Going to have to pick some choice spawn points for Chernarus now :)

[MisterT]

Thanks for this.

[Humpabry]

how do ya remove the portals?

[Matijs]

how do ya remove the portals?

 

You know how to configure overpoch, but you dont know how to hide the portals? Unpack your server settings pbo, config.cpp file, scroll down to class Chernarus, edit the first positions of the portals, set the height, last one, to -50 instead of 0

[Humpabry]

some things are easy (calling a server overpoch for haing 300+ weapons and extra vehicles)

 

dont mean i know everything though ;)

 

also guess it can go pretty much anywhere in the mission.sqm ya?

 

tyvm been needing this for a while hated this spawn system :P

[Matijs]

My server doesnt like it :(

[Humpabry]

can you just add this anywhere in mission.sqm

 

class Sensors
    {
        items=1;
        class Item0
        {
            position[]={6325.6772,0,7807.7412}; //Spawnpoint coords (same as respawn_west & east)
            activationBy="ANY";
            repeating=1;
            interruptable=1;
            age="UNKNOWN";
            name="SPAWNPOINT";
            expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT) < 50;";
            expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";
            expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";
            class Effects
            {
            };
        };
    };

[Matijs]

No its needs to be underneath the markers.

[Humpabry]

ah ok ty again mate

 

lol is where i put them lucky me :p

[Humpabry]

class Markers

{

items = 3;

class Item0

{

position[] = {6968.658,324.48145,8345.914};

name = "center";

type = "Empty";

};

class Item1

{

position[] = {1024.82,0,2023.51};

name = "respawn_east";

type = "Empty";

angle = 23.608498;

};

class Item2

{

position[] = {1024.8502,5.858802,2023.5204};

name = "respawn_west";

type = "Empty";

angle = 23.608498;

};

};

};

class Sensors

{

items = 1;

class Item0

{

position[] = {6325.6772,0,7807.741};

activationBy = "ANY";

repeating = 1;

interruptable = 1;

age = "UNKNOWN";

name = "SPAWNPOINT";

expCond = "(player distance SPAWNPOINT) < 50;";

expActiv = "inSpawnPoint = true;";

expDesactiv = "inSpawnPoint = false;";

class Effects{};

};

};

 

 

is that correct cause this aint working for me :/

Behind the last "};" is there another "};" ?

[Humpabry]

no just seen that..i copied and pasted it in but it deleted my last ); or i did

so that should work? sorry about this :p

[Matijs]

I think you have to remove one }; between markers & sensors, if that doesnt work, add your full mission.sqm

[Humpabry]

eliteness would not let me remove a ); between markers and sensors but ima try with the extra ); at the end

[Matijs]

You need to save the file as... Using eliteness, replace it with your previous one, then you can edit it using notepad++ or something.

[Humpabry]

ah so dont need to repify the file again?

 

good to know ill try it tomorrow then 

 

tyvm mate

[cen]

Hump the coords are wrong in the file he posted so you'll never be near the sensor when you spawn.

 

Change that to the respawn east or west coords in the markers so it matches, then you'll spawn, and will be within the 25m and the script will execute.

[Matijs]

If you read closely you can see that there is a commented line behind the sensor pozition saying exactaly what you just said.

I read it. The other guy, obviously, didn't :D

[Matijs]

I read it. The other guy, obviously, didn't :D

Oh yeah sorry, read that wrong.

[Humpabry]

lol ya i did not read that..my fault xD

 

ima try get it dsone in 30 mins right after my food :p

[Humpabry]

so if i dont make my mission.sqm crypted again my server wont let anyone join......

 

class Markers

{

items = 3;

class Item2

{

position[] = {1024.8502,5.858802,2023.5204};

name = "respawn_west";

type = "Empty";

angle = 23.608498;

};

};

class Sensors

{

items=1;

class Item0

{

position[]={1024.8502,5.858802,2023.5204}; //Spawnpoint coords (same as respawn_west & east)

expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT) < 50;";

expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";

expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";

class Effects

{

};

};

};

 

 

that is my coding but if i dont put another ); between the last ); from markers and sensors i cant re-crpt it

[Humpabry]

could you take a look at my mission.sqm and see if u can re-crypt it or if i made a mistake but should be all good
