{ESS HELP}

[EliTe Alien]

I have installed the ESS spawn selector and now everytime the player spawns in they spawn on the coast. Any idea where ive gone wrong?

That's kinda hard to say. Can you paste your init.sqf and variables.sqf, using pastebin please?

[EliTe Alien]

This is the init http://pastebin.com/Twc5u3MH

 

I dont have a custom varibles as the script doesnt request I have one

Paste your dayz_server\compile\server_playerSetup.sqf and dayz_server\compile\server_playerSetup.sqf. Your init.sqf looks fine. I am guessing you did not follow step #5 or step #6 in the install correct.

 

Step 5

In dayz_server\compile\server_playerSetup.sqf find this block.

if (_randomSpot) then {
private["_counter","_position","_isNear","_isZero","_mkr"];
if (!isDedicated) then {
  endLoadingScreen;
};

//Spawn modify via mission init.sqf
if(isnil "spawnArea") then {
  spawnArea = 1500;
};
if(isnil "spawnShoremode") then {
  spawnShoremode = 1;
};

//
_spawnMC = actualSpawnMarkerCount;

//spawn into random
_findSpot = true;
_mkr = "";
while {_findSpot} do {
  _counter = 0;
  while {_counter < 20 && _findSpot} do {
   // switched to floor
   _mkr = "spawn" + str(floor(random _spawnMC));
   _position = ([(getMarkerPos _mkr),0,spawnArea,10,0,2000,spawnShoremode] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos);
   _isNear = count (_position nearEntities ["Man",100]) == 0;
   _isZero = ((_position select 0) == 0) && ((_position select 1) == 0);
   //Island Check  //TeeChange
   _pos   = _position;
   _isIsland = false;  //Can be set to true during the Check
   for [{_w=0},{_w<=150},{_w=_w+2}] do {
    _pos = [(_pos select 0),((_pos select 1) + _w),(_pos select 2)];
    if(surfaceisWater _pos) exitWith {
     _isIsland = true;
    };
   };
  
   if ((_isNear && !_isZero) || _isIsland) then {_findSpot = false};
   _counter = _counter + 1;
  };
};
_isZero = ((_position select 0) == 0) && ((_position select 1) == 0);
_position = [_position select 0,_position select 1,0];
if (!_isZero) then {
  //_playerObj setPosATL _position;
  _worldspace = [0,_position];
};
};

Replace that whole block with

if (_randomSpot) then {
   if (!isDedicated) then {endLoadingScreen;};
   _debug = getMarkerpos "respawn_west";
   _worldspace = [0,[_debug select 0,_debug select 1,0.3]];
};

 

Step 6

In dayz_server\compile\server_playerSetup.sqf. Find this line.

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state];

Replace with

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot];

 

If these are not done correct that might just cause your problem.

Ah, I think I miss understood the instructions. 

 

I replaced 

if (_randomSpot) then {
private["_counter","_position","_isNear","_isZero","_mkr"];
if (!isDedicated) then {
  endLoadingScreen;
};

With 

if (_randomSpot) then {
   if (!isDedicated) then {endLoadingScreen;};
   _debug = getMarkerpos "respawn_west";
   _worldspace = [0,[_debug select 0,_debug select 1,0.3]];
};
