Disable loot spawn in plot pole range/safe zone

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Anyone know of a way to prevent loot from spawning in plot pole range or within a safe zone?

[SchwEde]

maybe in spawn_loot.sqf?

 

something like:

if (!canbuild || _findNearestPole > 0) exitWith {diag_log "exiting loot spawn Near Safezone or Pole)!";};

Needs to be tested though

 

to check for poles:

// check for near plot
_findNearestPoles = nearestObjects [(vehicle player), ["Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ"], _distance];
_findNearestPole = [];

{
	if (alive _x) then {
		_findNearestPole set [(count _findNearestPole),_x];
	};
} count _findNearestPoles;

_IsNearPlot = count (_findNearestPole);

Posted this months ago http://pastebin.com/ZNNpmPCR. Just create a custom  player_spawncheck.sqf. I hope it works ;)

Cool thanks for the answers. I will check both of those out! GZA - That will also prevent loot from spawning in a safe zone?

This will come in handy, thanks man.

GZA - That script isn't working for me. I put it in my "custom" folder in a folder called "disableloot" and called it from my custom compiles:

player_spawnCheck = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\disableloot\player_spawnCheck.sqf";

Loot is still spawning in range of plot poles and in trader safe zones.

This seems to be working to block loot spawning within range of a plot pole, but not the trader safe zones: 

 

Hopefully I'll get an answer on that thread that tells me how to expand it to cover trader safe zones.

try to edit this line here:

if(_canLoot && !isInTraderCity && (_IsNearPlot == 0)) then {

with

if(_canLoot && !isInTraderCity && (_IsNearPlot == 0) && !canbuild) then {

normaly canbuild is the variable which is set to false when entering a trader-city, just look at your mission.sqm and see for yourself

Yeah right if you use old mission.sqm you have to use canbuild but your example was wrong canbuild must be true.

if(_canLoot && (_IsNearPlot == 0) && canbuild) then {

I'm using the version linked to in my last reply because that one worked, except for trader cities, so it doesn't have the line you guys are quoting.

[SchwEde]

sure it is, i took the line from the pastebin link ;)

GZA's didn't work for me, as I posted, which is why I used the one I linked to in post #7.

well then its this line:

if (isNull _nearbyPole) then {

Simply add the variables to it and you should be done

if (isNull _nearbyPole && canbuild && !isInTraderCity ) then {

[Webrene]

still lootspawn in safezones and tradercitys

Going to revive an old topic here because I am attempting this on my Takistan server that I'm reworking. I'm using this bit of code in player_spawnCheck.sqf:

if (isNull _nearbyPole && canbuild && !isInTraderCity ) then {

With this code: http://pastebin.com/ZNNpmPCR

I found loot only 35 meters from the center of the safe zone.
