does this need any battle eye filters alterd

[Matijs]

does this need any battle eye filters alterd

No idea, check if you get kicked & add them

[Humpabry]

no BE filters needed

I can't for the life of me get this to work on Altis.

Is there another }; at the end of the code you sent here?

Nope, I had the wrong coordinates first snippit of code above but it still doesn't work. I take it I need another }; at the end? I don't even get a half assed message about it trying to teleport me or something. Nothing at all happens.

 

By the way in the OP you say to make a spawnpoint.sqf but you call a spawnpoints.sqf in your init.sqf.

[Matijs]

Yeah, ill change that, good call

[Paradox121]

Hmm doenst work by me :(  the Sensor is on map the code is in INIT.SQF and the script is in the root folder from the Mpmissions

[nedfox]

If you want to check brackets, grab Notepad++ , it draws nice lines to connect bracket pairs.. IMO it's an essential tool for modders.

I still can't get it to work if you don't mind helping me bud.

I use sublime and it looks to me like they're all correctly bracketed. I'm not sure what's going on. It's in the main mission class and after markers.

[DirtySanchez]

Remember to make your respawn_east and respawn_west the same coordinates and use those same coordinates in your Sensor.

It worked perfectly for me the first time.

 

Thanks for this script I love it on my new Epoch Mod Napf Server

[Matijs]

To everyone where the script isnt working, post your server log, in a spoiler, aswel as your rpt file.

How would I spawn at the same places just in the air so they can paradrop? i got them to spawn with the parachutes but when they pick a portal i want them in the air.

not entirly sure but i think you have to adjust the "0.1"in oure spawnpoints.sqf to youre desired height

 

_spawnpointsarray = [

[1745,2107,0.1],

 

would become something like this

 

_spawnpointsarray = [

[1745,2107,300],

 

i used just 1 line you have to adjust it in all the spawnpoitarray lines 

 

not sure if 300 would do it dont know how long it would take to open youre parachute you should try this out

 

[Sharkking]

Just a suggestion. Instead selecting some coordinates let the engine find a position and make it map indepentent ? I´ve made a test on the stratis map seems to work pretty well

 

_selectspawnpoint = _center findEmptyPosition [0,5000,thePlayer]; //5km radius from center to spawn

[Matijs]

Yeah, I was planning on doin that, but I removed the script from our server, so I was not continuing on this anymote

[Sharkking]

too bad but thanks for sharing. If you don´t mind i will play with it a bit

Its here for everyone to use.

[Paradox121]

How it works?

[Sharkking]

actually my randomspawn.sqf looks like this.

if (isNil "inSpawnPoint") then {
	inSpawnPoint = false;
};
 
while {true} do {
	waitUntil { inSpawnPoint };
	waitUntil { player == vehicle player };
	thePlayer = vehicle player;
	systemChat "Calculating spawn point...please be patient";
	_randPos = [getMarkerPos "center",1500,10000,1,0,20,1] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; //spawn on shore only
        //_randPos = [getMarkerPos "center",1500,10000,0,1,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; //spawn off shore
	_posX = _randPos select 0;
	_posY = __randPos select 1;
	_spawnpoint = [_posX,_posY,0.1];

	sleep 1;
	systemChat "Spawn point selected. Teleporting...";
	sleep 1;
	thePlayer setPos _spawnpoint;

	waitUntil { !inSpawnPoint };
};

calculating a position didn´t took longer than 10-30 secs on Stratis. Must test on Altis too. 
In Case something goes wrong or someone does want to spawn at a trader i kept the teleporters at the debug location.

 

requires to add !"findSafePos" to scripts.txt in line 1 to avoid a scripts #0 kick on join

[cen]

It took 10-30 seconds to spawn on a empty server for you?

 

That sounds really bad for 60+ players :O
