This is how it works for me....

anything for namalsk?

[Ree]

Anyone know how to add a 4th portal or get the coordinates to add one ?

 cant u just go inside and add lets say a object u can then pull cords from the DB i did that to add more random spawn points around my map

 

 

....make three different spawnpoints.sqf (spawnpoints1.sqf, spawnpoints2.sqf....)

In your init:

if (!isDedicated) then {

    [] execVM "spawnpoints1.sqf";

    [] execVM "spawnpoints2.sqf";

    [] execVM "spawnpoints3.sqf";

};

 

And in your mission add three Sensors, like this:

 

class Sensors

    {

        items=3;

        class Item0

        {

            position[]={6325.6772,0,7807.7412}; //Spawnpoint coords left TP

            activationBy="ANY";

            repeating=1;

            interruptable=1;

            age="UNKNOWN";

            name="SPAWNPOINT1";

            expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT1) < 2;";

            expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";

            expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";

            class Effects

            {

            };

        };

        class Item1

        {

            position[]={6325.6772,0,7807.7412}; //Spawnpoint coords middle TP

            activationBy="ANY";

            repeating=1;

            interruptable=1;

            age="UNKNOWN";

            name="SPAWNPOINT2";

            expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT2) < 2;";

            expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";

            expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";

            class Effects

            {

            };

        };

        class Item2

        {

            position[]={6325.6772,0,7807.7412}; //Spawnpoint coords right TP

            activationBy="ANY";

            repeating=1;

            interruptable=1;

            age="UNKNOWN";

            name="SPAWNPOINT3";

            expCond="(player distance SPAWNPOINT3) < 2;";

            expActiv="inSpawnPoint = true;";

            expDesactiv="inSpawnPoint = false;";

            class Effects

            {

            };

        };

    };

 

Hope you understand the way i´m thinking....

You have the three Teleporter already in this Box, but the player couldnt use it, cause the Sensor on the TP is about 2m, wich is activate the spawnpoints.sqf.

And in the three spawnpoints.sqf you take the coords you wanna have

So this is only basic, not testet, but if you spend a little time for test, youll figure out how to make this work....

 

 

 

i like this idea is it still the same script or is it been edited differntly for spawning randomly

[Richie]

 cant u just go inside and add lets say a object u can then pull cords from the DB i did that to add more random spawn points around my map

 

Nope, I can't find where the debug is loaded from to get its coordinates :unsure: anyone know the location of it on Chernarus ?

debug is left of kamenka, left ot tihaya bay. it's on the coast. 

 

Coords u can find in the server config pbo : ) , in the config.bin file

My config.bin only contains the loot table, I don't see the world coordinates for the debug area with the spawn tubes.

its in that area on that pic very hard to miss its a very big BOX Shaped building on the ground  by the coast but the cords are 010 133

It's the world coordinates i was after, not the grid but thanks :)

[speaR]

The scripts runs fine. Only Problem I have: For some strange reasons it teleports me everytime to a spot in the ocean. respawn east and west have got the same cords. Added them into the sensot too. Any ideas how for fix this ?

[CH!LL3R]

@Richie

You find the coords for the Teleporter here: @epochhive\addons\a3_epoch_server_settings\config.cpp

You have to scroll around to find your map... in this example I take chernarus

First coords after Transport_W_EPOCH are the coords for the Teleporter west an so on...

class Chernarus : Default
    {
        worldSize = 12000;
        traderBlds[] = { "Land_A_FuelStation_Build", "Land_A_GeneralStore_01", "Land_A_GeneralStore_01a", "Land_A_Office01", "Land_Ind_Garage01", "Land_Ind_Workshop01_04", "Land_Ind_Workshop01_L", "Land_Shed_Ind02", "Land_Tovarna2", "Land_sara_hasic_zbroj" };
        telePos[] = {
                { "Transport_W_EPOCH", { 1009.76, 2023.75, 0.224995 }, "", { 4569.52, 4524.24, 0.201431 } }, // South West
                { "Transport_E_EPOCH", { 1040.27, 2023.47, 0.224995 }, "", { 12077.8, 5121.92, 0.00144958 } }, // South East
                { "Transport_N_EPOCH", { 1024.91, 2031.31, 0.224995 }, "", { 10688.6, 9428.98, 0.00144958 } } // North East
        };

 

The Coords for the DebugBox is binded on the coords for respawn west, I think.... Cause, if I change this coords in my mission.sqm, the Box will spawn there... ;-)

Just have a look into this file:

@epochhive\addons\a3_epoch_server\compile\epoch_server\EPOCH_server_createTeleport.sqf

private["_aa","_ab","_ac","_ad","_ae"];
_debugLocation=getMarkerPos "respawn_west";
_debugLocation set[2,0];
_debug=createVehicle["Debug_static_F",_debugLocation,[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_protection=createVehicle["ProtectionZone_Invisible_F",_debugLocation,[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_debug1=createVehicle["clone_male_static_F",(_debug modelToWorld(_debug selectionPosition "2")),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_debug1 setDir-90;
_debug2=createVehicle["clone_female_static_F",(_debug modelToWorld(_debug selectionPosition "5")),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_debug2 setDir 90;
_debug3=createVehicle["clone_male_static_F",(_debug modelToWorld(_debug selectionPosition "7")),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_debug3 setDir 90;

_debugLocation=getMarkerPos "respawn_west"; ........IYKWIM

 

[sparrow8332]

when i look at this all the code is on one very very long line :-s how do i make it separate on separate lines like above spoiler ??

[speaR]

I think I should describe my problem better. So the problem is the following. have the script running successfully, after clients spawn in the debug box they get teleported by the script. normally it should teleported the clients to one of the cords I defined in the spawn script but it just spawns them into the middle of the sea. (nearly same area all the time. does anyone know how to get this working? Respawn West, Respawn east and the sensor which calls the script have the same coordinates.

Open the File with Notepad++

Now, sorry for my bad english... will upload a picture, my Notepad++ has german language, but pics say more than thousands words...

 

Press CTRL + F

This open a search-window click on the second TAB ?replace?

Now write a ; in the "search for" textbox

And in the "replace" textbox you need to write ;\n

You need to enable the option on Step 4 of the picture

And then you click to "Replace All"..... tada

Have a look to your mission.sqm, I think you have the wrong format of the Grid... Coords

In SQM the Z is in middle, in SQF the Z on the end (Z=height)

 

From the spawnpoints.sqF:

1745,2107,0.1 ---> 0.1 = height

 

From the mission.sqM:

6325.6772,0,7807.7412 ---> 0 = height

 

So, just check the right Format and I think it will work

[jbox88]

Hi All, 

 

I'm still trying to get my hands around server setup & maintenance, so I apologize if it appears I'm wasting your time. 

 

Firstly, I've applied what seems to be all necessary changes to init.SQF, mission.sqm and spawnpoints.sqf. I've uploaded them to my dropbox for convenience, but if someone prefers I can post the text here as well. 

• init.sqf - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ntd3hmlfwoyvki4/init.sqf?dl=0
• mission.sqm - https://www.dropbox.com/s/pttvah0jw09um9f/mission.sqm?dl=0
• spawnpoints.sqf - https://www.dropbox.com/s/6pzyr2cifu1zmk4/spawnpoints.sqf?dl=0
• Latest RTP log (shows no reference to any custom spawn script) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/b193l7evu9amzse/Latest_RTP_log.txt?dl=0

 

Second, I've tried hiding the default spawn crate (with teleports) outlined in this forum, but it seems I'm doing something wrong here as well. I've unpacked the "a3_epoch_server_settings" pbo and made changes to the config.cpp, outlined below. Note - the PBO is found under "@EpochHive\Addons" to my understanding.

If you have recently changed maps you will need to wipe the database so the new map database can be made active ?

[jbox88]

Got it working, went back and looked at everything for the 10th time. I realized that we're not supposed to be grouping the Intro Class with the Sensor class. Fixed that, worked instantly.

anyone have any altis spawn points? im being lazy here :P

 

thanks in advance :D

[Humpabry]

so i went into editor...placed soldiers around map for spawn points...copied the cords over to spawnpoing script and all i get is spawning in water.

 

did not have this problem on cherno

Remember that in the mission.sqm it's xzy, in .sqf it's xzy, are you sure you've changed the coordinates correctly ?

So basically the height is the middle parameter in .sqm but in .sqf it's the last

this is my altis randomspawn. feel free to use as u like it. Spawnpoints are mostly nearby cities. Players spawn usually at a max distance of 1km from town or city

Hi,

 

The script works fine, but i have a issue with EpochAH it block script for normal player, after player tp 10/30sc later he come back in the spawn box to the initial position before TP.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

 

Thx.
