[SOLVED]Defining New Loot Positions

How would a person go about configuring new loot positions for buildings on a map that doesn't have them already?  Take Bornholm for instance....many of the A2 buildings have no loot positions defined, so nothing spawns in them with the Loot Spawner addon.  I've been thinking that maybe I could take the loot position table from DayZ since that uses A2 building positions and somehow retrofit that to be included in the lootspawner addon somehow but I'm not sure where to get started on it.  I guess the most important question to start with is, where does the lootspawner addon get its loot positions from?  I assumed it was in the map or building configs, but I've torn those apart and can't find jack.  The only loot position data I've found is in the Epoch configs but that's just for their Epoch loot items (fridge, chair, table, etc.).  So I've got some information but I'm not sure what to do with it or if it's even the correct data or where it goes and I need some guidance.  Help?!

That's not what I'm talking about.  I'm talking about buildings that are already on that list but have no loot positions defined.  Like so....

Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_A_BuildingWIP,
 8:00:53 "-- !!LOOTSPAWNER WARNING!! in Buildingstoloot_list: Land_A_BuildingWIP has no building positions --"
 8:00:53 Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_A_FuelStation_Build,
 8:00:53 "-- !!LOOTSPAWNER WARNING!! in Buildingstoloot_list: Land_A_FuelStation_Build has no building positions --"
 8:00:53 Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_A_GeneralStore_01,
 8:00:53 "-- !!LOOTSPAWNER WARNING!! in Buildingstoloot_list: Land_A_GeneralStore_01 has no building positions --"
 8:00:53 Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_A_GeneralStore_01a,
 8:00:53 "-- !!LOOTSPAWNER WARNING!! in Buildingstoloot_list: Land_A_GeneralStore_01a has no building positions --"
 8:00:53 Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_A_Hospital,

There has to be a way to include loot positions for these buildings so the lootspawner knows where to spawn loot inside them.  I'm trying to use this:

 

class Land_HouseV_1I4: Residential {
	lootPos[] = {{0.222168,3.90839,-2.73031},{-1.82983,-1.81403,-2.76768}};
	
};
class Land_kulna: Residential {
	lootPos[] = {{0.213379,1.49707,-1.14344}};
	
};
class Land_Ind_Workshop01_01: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{1.31201,-2.71387,-1.29234},{-0.819336,0.449219,-1.29946}};
	
};
class Land_Ind_Garage01: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{1.73755,2.71973,-1.24332},{-0.880371,-1.9082,-1.23318},{0.607178,3.2373,-1.23157}};
	
};
class Land_Ind_Workshop01_02: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{1.47144,-0.825195,-1.42987},{-1.29663,-0.373047,-1.42896}};
	
};
class Land_Ind_Workshop01_04: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{-1.62207,-6.37305,-1.52724},{-0.118408,-3.88281,-1.52788},{-1.01611,2.13428,-1.53099}};
	
};
class Land_Ind_Workshop01_L: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{3.89063,-4.09888,-1.31299},{1.80273,-1.88599,-1.31412},{-0.928223,4.50635,-1.31364}};
	
};
class Land_Hangar_2: Industrial {
	lootPos[] = {{-13.1816,10.4204,-2.56318},{-0.127441,-2.88794,-2.56318},{0.291992,3.94775,-2.56318},{8.94482,6.87793,-2.56318},{-13.688,-4.67871,-2.56318},{3.4248,-8.1499,-2.56318}};
	
};
class Land_hut06: Residential {
	lootPos[] = {{0.328125,2.26953,-1.57786},{-0.552368,-0.0620117,-1.53837}};
};
class Land_stodola_old_open: Farm {
	lootPos[] = {{2.5437,-10.6599,2.96444},{-0.4021,-10.6228,2.96444},{-2.56641,-10.8538,-0.995487},{4.6665,3.45386,-5.08055},{-2.24414,10.396,-5.08055},{3.08691,9.24976,-5.08055},{-1.12744,10.5359,-0.993513},{-1.27563,10.6184,2.96444},{2.99268,10.7668,2.96444},{4.35425,-10.5923,-5.08055},{-2.47363,-5.49194,-5.08055}};
	
};

....but it's not working so far.

take a look at the code that throws that error.

 

Also you may want to try this out

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_buildingPositions

 

Spawn in a building, call that function and see what it returns.  If it doesn't return anything then your positions aren't defined.

 

Also can you post us your entire definition file? or is that it?  Because I'm pretty sure you need to encapsulate all of your classes inside of a parent class as well as the variable name lootPos is most likely not correct.

 

From this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/buildingPos

 

Most likely this means that the AIA pack did not include them.

 

 

Ok after more digging look into the variable: Buildingpositions_list

 

you may be able to tweak the code to manually add values to this array.

The AiA pack is not needed for Bornholm.  My best guess is as you mentioned, that the map creator of Bornholm used a different variable other than lootPos.  

 

This is my buildings list for Bornholm, which includes the typical A3 buildings and also A2 buildings as well.  Some of these are not even present on the Bornholm map and I'm aware of that.  But many of them are, specifically the barns and a handful of industrial and residential buildings.

And this is the loot spawner script itself, specifically the portion where it's erroring out.  There's more to it but this is where building positions are called for and (hopefully) found.

 

getListBuildingPositionjunction = {
	_tmpTstPlace = _this select 0;
	_randomweapontestint = 0.01;	//Sets the highintervals in which weaponpositions are tested. (Lower = slower, but more accurate. Higher = faster, but less accurate.)

		//check if the creation was successful
		if (isNil {_tmpBuild}) then {
			diag_log format["--!!ERROR!! LOOTSPAWNER in Buildingstoloot_list: %1 no viable object !!ERROR!!--", _buildingname];
		} else {

			_endloop = false;

		};
		deleteVehicle _tmpBuild;
	}forEach spawnBuilding_list;
};

 

I'll load the map into the editor and try the BIS function you listed and see if that yields any results.  If so then I may be able to add them manually as you suggested.

Ok I'm ashamed to admit this, but it's my mistake.  I overlooked the fact that on Bornholm the author added a _bo suffix to all relevant building classes.  This is the correct list for Bornholm A2 buildings:

 

 

["Land_bo_A_GeneralStore_01", 0],
["Land_bo_Barn_W_01", 0],
["Land_bo_Barn_W_02", 0],
["Land_bo_Farm_Cowshed_a", 0],
["Land_bo_Farm_Cowshed_b", 0],
["Land_bo_Farm_Cowshed_c", 0],
["Land_bo_Hlidac_budka", 1],
["Land_bo_HouseBlock_A3", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseBlock_A1_1", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseB_Tenement", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV2_01A", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV2_02_Interier", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV_1I1", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV_1I4", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV_1L1", 0],
["Land_bo_HouseV_1L2", 0],
["Land_bo_Misc_deerstand", 1],
["Land_bo_Panelak", 0],
["Land_bo_Panelak2", 0],
["Land_bo_Shed_Ind02", 2],
["Land_bo_stodola_old_open", 0],
["Land_bo_stodola_old_open", 0],
["Land_bo_stodola_open", 0],
["Land_bo_Dum_mesto2", 0],
["Land_bo_Sara_domek_sedy", 0],
["Land_bo_Dum_rasovna", 0],

 

All buildings are now spawning loot as they should.
