. Player Gear Protection (except for players in your group)
. Player Can't Shot
. Player Can't Die
. Turret cant' shot
. Vehicle does not take damage
. Vehicle can't be stolen
. Protected vehicles liberated after some time

INSTALATION

Run the script from the mission file init.sqf with execVM "andre_safezone.sqf";. You must run from the root (not inside a isServer or !isServer or any other condition):

execVM "andre_safezone.sqf"; //exec it on the root on init.sqf

if (isServer) then {
    //code 1...
    //code 2...
    //code 3...
    //DO NOT EXEC IT HERE!
} else {
    //code 4...`
    //code 5...
    //code 6...
    //DO NOT EXEC IT HERE!
};

 
THE SCRIPT: if you use Epoch Anti Hack
 
Ready for Altis. You can change the Konfiguration part to meet the map you is using and/or to add more safe zones.

*Put this file in the root of your mission file, with the name andre_safezone.sqf.

No just no

This is really bad from a performance stand point.

You are foreach -> spawn -> while  
Look @ createTrigger's ;)

 

And maybe break it up into smaller functions to make it easier to maintain

[Donnovan]

A wilhe can be done to check something from time to time. This don't mean all the code inside the while runs all the time many times per second. It runs only when some condition is found. Also the chek is limited by the sleep function, so most of the while is really soft to run:

while {true} do {
    if (simple condition) then {
        *1000 lines of script*
    }
    sleep 1;
};

// [simple condition] will be true just some times, most of the time the while "heavyness" will be 0.
// Hope i have helped you guys

[Refiner]

I'm actually working with the same thing at the moment, "a bit" more sorted and customizable I'm telling you :P, just have to finish up some scripts for it.

Just gotta tweak the performance a tad bit and it should be released in the middle of the next week!

Also these "handleDamage" events are not required, all you have to do is use allowDamage if you're trying to disable the damage for an entity, really.

waitUntil {!((_donn_notSafe && donn_notSafe) || (!_donn_notSafe && !donn_notSafe)) || !_runOneTime};

This is also a loop that runs on the engine level.

 

Trust me, using a trigger is probably the most efficient way to do this.

[1Man]

If maca gives you advice you need to listen!

[Donnovan]

_donn_notSafe, donn_notSafe and _runOneTime are booleans.

Help is really desirable, but it not allways reach its objective.

Not anymore :P 

 

The main problem is the creation of many spawn's. Arma doesn't clean them up properly and it is defiantly a source of fps drops. Having each thread run a loop and then each having a waitUntil. It really isnt the way forward.

 

In arma, spawn's seem great but they really need to be used sparingly.

Touching a bit more on this, the first part, spawning a new thread for each individual trader just to monitor whether or not you are within the range could be simplified with some refinement.

 

I would also suggest maybe changing the use of publicVariable as too many messages being sent to and from the server can cause issues, especially if you have people entering and exiting the traders all the time. And publicVariableClient would be better instead of sending a variable to every player connected, just to then check their UID against its desired recipient.

[axeman]

To loop or not to loop, FSM is the question.

[Donnovan]

Resume of the needed process power for a player outside the safe zones:

//===========================================================================
//Calculations when you are not in a safe - Example: 1000 meters from then
//===========================================================================

//CHECK 1
//=============================================================================================
// For each Trader (Altis have 3 main traders) with a interval of 5 seconds between checks
//=============================================================================================
(player distance _trader) > 150
//the 5 seconds interval is bacause player distance from safe, it rises as player go away

//CHECK 2
//======================================================================
// Did each player frame - Boolean Check (variables are true or false)
//======================================================================
(!((_donn_notSafe && donn_notSafe) || (!_donn_notSafe && !donn_notSafe)) || !_runOneTime)

//CHECK 3
//================================
// Did each 0.0625 seconds
//================================
vehicle player != player;

//RESULTS - THE CHECKS ARE
// - 1 distance check for each trader each 5 seconds (check frequency depends on last player distance from trader)
// - 1 boolean check each frame (you can safelly add a sleep of 1 second or more here)
// - 1 check if player is in a vehicle each 0.0625 seconds (you can also safelly increase the sleep time)

[Donnovan]

Also the script runs on the client, so this is the processor power cost for the player machine, not the server.

You can't add a event handler on the player to trigger when the player opens a container (a car gear or other player gear for example), because the Epoch anti hack will kick you.

So the solution is to add a event handler on the safezone vehicles, to trigger when any player access it. For that you need a list of vehicles in safe, and this list must be on the server, this is when surge the need of public variable.

The other need of public variable is to send players message. The public variable is used to sends the message text and the player object reference (i believe this reference is a code that identify the object, not the object itself, since everyone have the object by normal ways). Those messages not happens often, its something rare.

This is also a loop that runs on the engine level.

 

Trust me, using a trigger is probably the most efficient way to do this.

 

Are you talking a trigger on the server or client ? Assuming a client trigger as is the current environment ?

 

I'd be very interested to compare, based on this script, SQF / a Trigger and an FSM performing, as close as possible, the exact same function. Ramp it up to the point of crashing the engine and see which wins :)

[Donnovan]

Anyone trying it?

Thankyou for your attention.

[Ace22]

Going to give it a run on my test box tonight. Let you know how I make out.

[Ace22]

Added exclusions for;

#21 "otSafe = donn_notSafe;

#55 "["Gear", objNull];

#58 "& _runOneTime) then {

 

But I can't get past this BE restriction

};

 

 

don_incar = false;

don_firedEH_1 = nil;

donn_godMode = false;

[] spawn {

private ['_runOneTime','_donn_notSafe','"

 

I've tried the following so far;

 

all on line 89...................

!="otecting;"

!"otecting"

!"otecting;};don_incar = false;don_firedEH_1 = nil;donn_godMode = false;[] spawn {private ['_runOneTime','_donn_notSafe','"

[BenR]

Its the epoch godmode script filter

[Donnovan]

Ace 22,

I will list the BE tweaks for 0.3.0.2 and post here tonight.

[TPwalker]

is anyone having an issue with players being kicked to lobby when they enter the safezone sometimes?

[Donnovan]

The main post was updated with the BE filters tweak.

[Ace22]

Thanks, taking a look.

[Donnovan]

Ace22,

Nice!

Don't forget my changes are after /*DONN*/ (in brownn).

[Donnovan]

Any help needed please tell me.

 

Thankyou for your attention.
