[Re-release] Admin hunt v0.3

[5nine]

What is it?
- An admin controlled mission. Admins can, whenever they like, start an Admin Hunt which puts a marker on the admin and tells other player about it using a hint similar to #SEM announcements. If the Admin feels threatened he can call for reinforcements which spawns 3 AI's which will then follow him around.

What is currently included/what are the features?

- Called by any admin specified in the admin list
- Gives players a marker on the map named "Adminhunt: (admin name)"

- Admins can call for reinforcements which spawns in 3 AI helpers. 

- Can, at any time, be stopped by the admin who started it.

- Gives players different hints depending on mission status ("started", "called for reinforcements", "stopped" and "admin killed")

- Supports multiple missions run in parallel (each admin can start their own mission)

 

Why Re-release? What has changed?

the old version was completely client side, which made it much harder to get it to work, with BE filter etc. In this version the AI's spawn serverside. This also includes a better function to get the scroll option to stay.

 

Known Issues?

None, but it is not tested on a server with high player count. 

 

BE filters?

Included in the Readme.

 

Epoch Anti Hack?

This has been tested and works with Epoch AH.

Support or questions?

note: this is running completely clientside, so any errors that might occur will only show up in your client rpt log.

I needed add following to scripts.txt BE filters.

7 removeAllWeapons !"this"
7 removeAllItems !"this"
7 removeBackpack !"this"



7 createGroup !"_AIGroup = createGroup RESISTANCE;"






7 deleteMarker !="_markeradmin"
7 setMarker "_markeradmin"

publicvariable.txt

5 !="NibbleHint"

And i stucked in remoteexec.log with this:

 were you logged in as infi admin at that moment?

 

I might have to do a serverside function for spawning the AI..

[SpiRe]

I was an ADmin.... but i plan to alter the functionality to just Survivor Hunt without reinforcements... I have pretty good private action menu framework for it

[5nine]

I see

[horbin]

For those running a headless client, this ability is already included with FuMS.

 

Nice work putting together a non-hc version.

Horbin, can you elaborate on that a bit, do you mean the admin hunt ability is part of FUMS? If so how do we enable that?

[rhughes945]

Installed this on my server at midnight and gave it a quick test, really like it so far. Seems like it disappears when I die tho, to get the menu back I have to relog.

[5nine]

yep, the addaction on players in Epoch is a bit unreliable. 

[horbin]

R4Ziel,

   Currently under FuMS, admins (or whomever you grant access too) have the ability to start stop Themes (which can be single missions) and kill individual missions.  

 

I sent you a PM to not take this thread off topic.

[darkclaw4ever]

Ok this may be a really dumb question but I can't seem to figure this one out. I believe I have installed this correctly, but I can't figure out how to access the admin hunt option in the scroll menu. I was able to one time seemingly by a lucky key-smash, but was never able to recreate it. Is there a certain key I need to hold while scrolling? I have added the admins correctly to the list of player ids, I have added the correct lines to init, and I have added the files into the pbo in the correct place.

[horbin]

With some inputs from Kilo and Face, the following seems to be a pretty reliable way of adding 'addactions'.

waitUntil{!isNull (uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen", displayNull])};
waitUntil{isNull (uiNameSpace getVariable "EPOCH_loadingScreen")};

//waituntil {!isnull (finddisplay 46)};
//waituntil {player == player};
sleep 10;
player addaction [("<t color=""#1376e5"">" + ("FuMS Admin") +"</t>"),FuMS_AdminMenu,"",5,false,true,"",""];    

while {true} do 
{
    waitUntil {!alive player};
    // uh oh...
    waitUntil {alive player};
    player addaction [("<t color=""#1376e5"">" + ("FuMS Admin") +"</t>"),FuMS_AdminMenu,"",5,false,true,"",""];       
};        

not even sure the sleep 10 is needed, but after adding the wait's to look for the drop in the loadscreen interface, things seem to be a lot more reliable.

Of note  ***I am told****  addaction is an autoban under most security addons, so if you want this functionality for the general player, there is probably a little more work to be done.

[darkclaw4ever]

Alright well thanks for responding, luckily I only need the addaction for admins. I had to make some modifications as I am not using this for the FuMS admin menu, just the admin hunt. I will test it out tomorrow. In the original code given by 5nine, is it necessary to have "nibblemenu = player addaction" or would it just be easier to do "player addaction"?

 

Edit: I ask this because in the code you have presented it is simply "player addaction"

 

Double Edit: here is the editted version of your code, based off of 5nine's code, does it look correct?

waitUntil{!isNull (uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen", displayNull])};
waitUntil{isNull (uiNameSpace getVariable "EPOCH_loadingScreen")};
sleep 10;
if (getPlayerUID player in [
/*-------specify your admins below -----*/
"7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" //no comma at last entry
]) then {
	nibblemenu = player addaction [("" + ("Admin menu") +""),"scripts\nibbleadmin\adminhunt.sqf","",-97,false,false,"",""];   
	while {true} do 
	{
	waitUntil {!alive player};
	// uh oh...
	waitUntil {alive player};
	nibblemenu = player addaction [("" + ("Admin menu") +""),"scripts\nibbleadmin\adminhunt.sqf","",-97,false,false,"",""];          
	};      
};

[5nine]

darkclaw, that looks about right, try it and report back please.

You need 'nibblemenu =' because we want to remove the addaction once you click it, if you look inside adminhunt.sqf among the first things that happens is 'player removeAction nibblemenu;'

[darkclaw4ever]

I am not currently logged in as infistar admin as we don't have infistar yet :( new server, havent invested in that yet

Its not something you HAVE to invest in either, I would wait some time, Im sure the epoch devs will open up the entire mod a bit more as soon as they leave alpha

[darkclaw4ever]

But do I need it to use admin hunt? If not, do I need another mod? So far the only mods I have put into the server are igiload and admin hunt and I am confused how I got the menu to pop up once, but couldn't again even after relogging

[darkclaw4ever]

Small note: the one time it worked, igiload printed out something like "igiload loaded: civ 1" instead of what it normally does, "igiload loaded, have fun"

[ulli_123]

If an update is already provided?

[DirtySanchez]

After testing this script out, using the built in init file is crap.

use/add the on player respawn files and on player killed file in your mission pbo to ensure add and removal.

However with this script as is the menus double and triple up allowing for multiple spawning in of reinforcements and if mission canceled only the last 3 ai are deleted and the rest kill you. lol

But all in all thanks for the share and I might modify it to work properly and post it up

[Achmed]

Does the marker stay over the admin all the time or does it refresh every X seconds?

[Humpabry]

added to server..dont get a scroll option for the admin hunt :/ <--- ignore

 

xD i did not forget to put the ID in the admin id part :P

 

so added admin IDs and still does not work...is this just a mouse scroll option?
