Setting maximum grade

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I had a mission spawn in Taksitan tonight on one crazy hill. Is there a way to limit the locations to those below a certain grade?

 

I read this page: http://tactical.nekromantix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arma2:scripting:bis_fnc_findsafepos

 

And I saw in DZMSFunctions.sqf these lines:

DZMSFindPos = {
    private["_mapHardCenter","_mapRadii","_isTavi","_centerPos","_pos","_disCorner","_hardX","_hardY","_findRun","_posX","_posY","_feel1","_feel2","_feel3","_feel4","_noWater","_tavTest","_tavHeight","_disMaj","_disMin","_okDis","_isBlack","_playerNear"];
  
    //Lets try to use map specific "Novy Sobor Fixes".
    //If the map is unrecognised this function will still work.
	//Better code thanks to Halv
	_mapHardCenter = true;
	_mapRadii = 5500;
	_isTavi = false;
	_tavHeight = 0;
	switch (DZMSWorldName) do {
		case "chernarus":{_centerPos = [7100, 7750, 0];_mapRadii = 5500;};
		case "utes":{_centerPos = [3500, 3500, 0];_mapRadii = 3500;};
		case "zargabad":{_centerPos = [4096, 4096, 0];_mapRadii = 4096;};
		case "fallujah":{_centerPos = [3500, 3500, 0];_mapRadii = 3500;};
		case "takistan":{_centerPos = [5500, 6500, 0];_mapRadii = 5000;};
		case "tavi":{_centerPos = [10370, 11510, 0];_mapRadii = 14090;_isTavi = true;};
		case "lingor":{_centerPos = [4400, 4400, 0];_mapRadii = 4400;};
		case "namalsk":{_centerPos = [4352, 7348, 0]};
		case "napf":{_centerPos = [10240, 10240, 0];_mapRadii = 10240;};
		case "mbg_celle2":{_centerPos = [8765.27, 2075.58, 0]};
		case "oring":{_centerPos = [1577, 3429, 0]};
		case "panthera2":{_centerPos = [4400, 4400, 0];_mapRadii = 4400;};
		case "isladuala":{_centerPos = [4400, 4400, 0];_mapRadii = 4400;};
		case "smd_sahrani_a2":{_centerPos = [13200, 8850, 0]};
		case "sauerland":{_centerPos = [12800, 12800, 0];_mapRadii = 12800;};
		case "trinity":{_centerPos = [6400, 6400, 0];_mapRadii = 6400;};
		//We don't have a supported map. Let's use the norm.
		default{_pos = [getMarkerPos "center",0,5500,60,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;_mapHardCenter = false;};
	};

I'm just not too sure how I would adjust that to allow a maximum grade for a mission to spawn on.

Here's a screenshot of one mission that spawned on an extreme angle.

I love when that happens. I get it too and its one of the things on my hit list. I'll get back to you soon if I have a fix :)

 

 

Edit:

 

Try replace the Tavi Line with this. Seemed to work for me.

		case "tavi":{
					_centerPos = [10370, 11510, 0];
					_mapRadii = 14090;
					_safePos = [_centerPos, 0, _mapRadii, 30, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
					diag_log format ["Finding Safe Pos for Tavi: %1", _safePos];
					_isTavi = true;
		};

You can remove the log entry, was just using that to tell when the mission was spawning

 

Edit 2: Never-mind, The first one got lucky it seems, still worth to try I guess but the static vehicles still spazzed out for me.

A little off topic here Dean, but I think you guys over at Dayz Evolved need some spam protection for your forum:

Yeah just adjust the gradient, 20 seems a tad too high:

default{_pos = [getMarkerPos "center",0,5500,60,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos

If you want missions to spawn on relatively flat terrain, I wouldn't go higher than 5.

Wouldn't I need to edit this line since it's Takistan? I figured the line above was only if the map wasn't detected.

case "takistan":{_centerPos = [5500, 6500, 0];_mapRadii = 5000;};

I'm not in charge of the forums haha, Its crappy forum thing don't even think you can do anything on it haha,

 

on-topic: My one looked like it did work, but I didn't test it properly I just threw it in there, so it might be worth trying but yeah possibly because I had it set to 20 as gradient

Where did you put the 20? In the "default" line or the line for the map you are running?

[DeanReid]

case "takistan":{
_centerPos = [5500, 6500, 0];
_mapRadii = 5000;
_safePos = [_centerPos, 0, _mapRadii, 30, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
diag_log format ["Finding Safe Pos for Takistan: %1", _safePos]; 
};

should do it 

[BetterDeadThanZed]

case "takistan":{
_centerPos = [5500, 6500, 0];
_mapRadii = 5000;
_safePos = [_centerPos, 0, _mapRadii, 30, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
diag_log format ["Finding Safe Pos for Takistan: %1", _safePos]; 
};

should do it 

 

 

Thanks. I will give it a shot.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

That doesn't seem to have worked. I still have missions spawning on extreme angles. I'm using this:

      case "takistan":{
                    _centerPos = [5500, 6500, 0];
                    _mapRadii = 5000;
                    _safePos = [_centerPos, 0, _mapRadii, 30, 0, 5, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
                    _isTakistan = true;
        };

[DeanReid]

hmm, try changing this then. around/at line 116

        //We need to loop findSafePos until it doesn't return the map center
        _findRun = true;
        while {_findRun} do
        {
            _pos = [_centerPos,0,_mapRadii,60,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

            _pos = [_centerPos,0,_mapRadii,60,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
           

 

It looks like that did it. I've been checking the missions and they all seem to be spawning on much more flat ground.
