Vehicles in mission staying after restart

[Havoc302]

Has anyone worked out how to get vehicles spawned in by missions to stay?

 

I've tried things like this:

 

_vehicle1 call EPOCH_server_setVToken;

_vehicle1 call EPOCH_server_save_vehicle;

 

It was in one of the releases of some mission system but doesn't work, any clues?

mine from this last patch are staying and i dont want them to.

According to Skaronator you just add :

_vehicle call EPOCH_server_setVToken;

[Darth_Rogue]

Try EPOCH_server_hiveSET

 

edit:  nvm...Richie beat me to it with better knowledge.  :)

Awesome thanks guys, I'll give it a go tonight on my test server.

You mean every mission vehicle is going to stay on the map? How do you cope with 5000 mission vehicles, server side, after a week? or are they just saved when someone boards them?

Even then, you flood the server with WAY too many vehicles.

 

It totally doesn't make sense to me.

My server goes through shit loads of vehicles, players have discovered the DLC helis that lift can throw cars like bombs :rolleyes:

The old tow/lift script has restrictions, the new lift system doesn't and you can fling a car a long long way.

Perhaps you should go and take a look at most mission systems nedfox, they almost all have a condition in them where the vehicle is deleted at the mission end if there's no players present. So only vehicles that were there when a player completed a mission hangs around and most of those players sell. I don't mind managing manually through the database as well.

Yeah not working guys, changed the code to read:

 

_vehicle1 = createVehicle ["C_Offroad_01_EPOCH",[(_pos select 0) + 20, (_pos select 1), 0],[], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_vehicle1 call EPOCH_server_hiveSET;

 

Now I get these errors in the log everytime it goes to run a mission:

 

20:08:09 Error in expression <_ab","_ac","_ad","_ae","_af"];_aa=_this select 0;_ab=_this select 1;_ac=str(_thi>

20:08:09   Error position: <select 0;_ab=_this select 1;_ac=str(_thi>

20:08:09   Error select: Type Object, expected Array,String,Config entry

I'm looking for an empty slot in the database and saving my mission vehicle there. I take no credit for this code, most of the pieces came from Epoch/Skoronator code.

 

If there are no empty slots, I look for a boat or a kart, delete it from the map and reuse the slot in the database with the mission vehicle.

 

This is not perfect, but I did not find a way to add a new vehicle slot in the database (yet).
