[Release] Restrict building near defined areas

[BigEgg]

So you currently have a rule that states you can not build within a certain distance of Military barracks etc..... Although making it a rule is easy, making it impossible is almost easier. No deleting bases or having to constantly be on the look out.

 

You will need:

Notepad++ (or a software of your choice)

init.sqf

player_build.sqf (can be found in your snap build folder)

 

 

Instructions:

 

Step one: 

 

Open up your init.sqf and add this to the very bottom:

 

ServerIllegalRadius = 500;
 
ServerNoBuildList = [ "Land_Mil_ControlTower",
"Land_SS_hangar",
"Land_Mil_Barracks_i",
"Land_Mil_Barracks",
"Land_budova4_in",
"HeliHEmpty" ];

Step two:

 

At the top of player_build.sqf add these to the end of the Private line:

"_posrad","_cntrad"

Step three:

 

Find this line in player_build.sqf:

if(!canbuild) then { _cancel = true; _reason = "Cannot build in a city."; };

Under it add:

 

_posrad = [player] call FNC_GetPos;
_cntrad = count (nearestObjects [_posrad, ServerNoBuildList, ServerIllegalRadius]);

 
if (_cntrad > 0) then {
_cancel = true;
_reason = format["- Building is restricted %1m near Trader Cities and Millitary Loot Areas", ServerIllegalRadius];
};

 

Hope it helps :)

Thanks, I have been wanted to do this for a long time.

Something so simple and has taken so long to come out.. thanks cant wait to put this on my server. Hope so see some more of your work soon! :)

[Saltzman]

Works fantastic, thanks again BigEgg!

 

SUGGESTION: Add an area in the script for custom locations, like a blacklist.

[ElDubya]

if like me, you have 2 different areas you don't allow building, you can just do this : 

 

init.sqf

ServerIllegalRadius = 500;
ServerIllegalRadius2 = 850;
ServerNoBuildList = [ "Land_Mil_ControlTower","Land_SS_hangar","Land_Mil_Barracks_i","Land_Mil_Barracks","Land_budova4_in"]; //Military
ServerNoBuildList2 = ["HeliHEmpty"];//Traders

Top of player_build.sqf

"_posrad","_cntrad","_cntrad2"

Find this in player_build.sqf : 

if(!canbuild) then { _cancel = true; _reason = "Cannot build in a city."; };

Put this under it : 

_posrad = [player] call FNC_GetPos;
_cntrad = count (nearestObjects [_posrad, ServerNoBuildList, ServerIllegalRadius]);
_cntrad2 = count (nearestObjects [_posrad, ServerNoBuildList2, ServerIllegalRadius2]);

 
if (_cntrad > 0) then {
_cancel = true;
_reason = format["- Building is restricted %1m near military areas", ServerIllegalRadius];
};
if (_cntrad2 > 0) then {
_cancel = true;
_reason = format["- Building is restricted %1m near trader cities", ServerIllegalRadius2];
};

Cheers for the brilliant idea BigEgg.

I haven't tested this yet but add this to your init.sqf:

BlackZones = [[zonestary,100]];

Add this to player build where you added my other code:

if (BuildingBlacklist) then { 
_cancel = true; 
_reason = "- You are within a restricted building zone";
};

Then add this above initialized = true in your compiles.sqf:

{
private ["_pos", "_radius", "_trigger"];
_pos = _x select 0;
_radius = _x select 1;
_trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _pos];
_trigger setTriggerArea [_radius, _radius, 0, false];
_trigger setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
_trigger setTriggerType "SWITCH";
_trigger setTriggerStatements ["(vehicle player) in thisList", "BuildingBlacklist = true;", "BuildingBlackList = false;"];
true 
} count BlackZones;

Define the zones you want in the mission.sqm and then add them to the blacklist in your init.

 

Hope it helps :)

Works fantastic for me on my Napf server because I am not using Plot For Life. However, on my test server that I am using Plot For life on, it doesn't work.

 

My player_build.sqf is located in my A Plot For Life \ Action folder with other files including one called modular_build.sqf. In the compiles.sqf that comes with aP4L, is this first call : 

player_build =				compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Custom\A_Plot_for_Life\Action\modular_build.sqf";

Then further down, player_build is called again like this

	} else {
		player_build =				compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Custom\A_Plot_for_Life\Action\player_build.sqf";
	}; 

I have made the edit to the player_build.sqf as mentioned, but it still lets me place a pole down within 500m of a HeliHEmpty.

 

I did a Notepad++ search for all instances of :

if(!canbuild) then { _cancel = true; _reason = "Cannot build in a city."; };

and only the one came back, in player_build.sqf, where I have made the edit. Would I have to put this edit in modular_build.sqf and if so, where abouts?

[SmokeyBR]

latest p4l version does not use player_build.sqf

 

you can use either

player_build_publish.sqf   (will check for can not build when u press space)

or 

player_build_plotCheck.sqf  (will check for can not build when u click mouse to build)

 

obs:

the line you tried to seach will be in player_build_publish.sqf except is not formated exactly the same way

[ElDubya]

Ahh, that explains it then. Works now, thanks a lot :)

[getwastedgaming1]

Having a few issues getting this to work. Are there any known conflicts with other modification / scripts ?

There shouldn't be no. Are you running plot for life? If so read the above comments.

[Yager]

Thanks for the great code BigEgg!

[Webrene]

Is there an easy way to not allowed building near any Land_House or something like that? Don't want that my players can build near any town, city or loot place like small houses.

Tried Land_*, Land_House* but didn't work

You could try this but IDK if it is what you are looking for.

Wow, thanks for the list. Where did you get it?

Does it make a difference whether it's uppercase or lowercase written?

[Pavillin]

I use this on my namalsk server and it worked like a charm, now nobody can build near traders, specific loot spawns, and object A2!

Thanks for this BigEgg!
