Quick help? - Modifying a script

[FPSsean]

Hi Guys,

 

I must be dumb I've looked over how to modify this script for hours with no luck.

 

https://github.com/mudzereli/DayZEpochDeployableBike

 

When deploying a bike, it has steps in game after you deploy and if you try and jump on the bike while it's doing those steps you get teleported out to sea.

 

I'm trying to work out how to either remove the mount option to get on the bike until it's finished deploying or make the ingame animation just 1 step and not 3.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Cheers

Sean

This happens because bike is first created in debug and then attached to player, it reuses old player_build script. Interesting idea, but not without flaws.

Easiest fix would be increasing distance from bike and player by a meter or so... making action inaccessible.

 

edit:

Ok, there's a config file for offsets. Just increase second element for toolbox/bike, it contains offset in meters

 

example to spawn bike 3m away from player (up from 2m)

["ItemToolbox",[0,3,1],5,0.1,false,false,false,false,false,true,true,["MMT_Civ"],[],["ItemToolbox"],"true"],

I have mine set to a much larger distance. 7 meters

["ItemToolbox",[0,7,1],5,0.9,false,false,false,false,false,true,true,["MMT_USMC"],[],["ItemToolbox"],"true"],

Anything less and you can rotate the bike and still get the option to get on before it is already deployed.

Yeah, that's all I did as well. Increase the distance between player and bike.

That's awesome guys

 

thank  you so much - one thing I also noticed was while building it's also 3 steps to build instead of one like I've seen in other servers, anyone know how to make it just 1?

[ElDubya]

You mean for the bike, or in general?

[raymix]

If you want to affect everything built including bases and  deployables then add this to your init.sqf:

DZE_StaticConstructionCount = 1;

If you only want to affect deployables, then edit line #466 and set limit to 1, but DO NOT add previous code to init.sqf (important).

[syco]

I have DZE_StaticConstructionCount = 1; and all deployables are still 3 steps but building is one step. Never did look into why that is to be honest.

 

I will mess around with this today.

[syco]

I take that back it is one step but would be nice to chop that time in half.

Thank you so very much Raymix and Syco.

Really appreciate the assistance, I'll pop it in and have a look

ahh, I believe that's controled by animation state. So you either remove it or use different animation that is faster.

 

It all starts on line #484 playing animation "medic". This animation state is used to control r_doLoop loop down below. It halts the script with this loop and waits for animation to be finished before allowing you to proceed with the rest of the script.

If you don't want instant build, then you can chop building time in "half" or more by using any other animation that is shorter by simply replacing both lines that contains "medic" in them. For instant build, just get rid off animations and either remove loop or remove _isMedic IF statement leaving behind _started = true;... either way works

Guys thank you so much for the assistance, given you're all quite knolwedgeable I wonder if anyone can shed some light on 3 x errors I see repeatable in my RPT files?

Has anyone had any experience with those?

[raymix]

Judging by origins of those errors, problem most likely is - RTFM related :)

If you are sure you followed installation correctly, notify script authors of a bug.
