4 types of Side Missions (Events)

[Britzy]

Yes i have created a folder called custom inside my init.sqf folder and placed the remote_messages.sqf file inside

 

and then added this to my init.sqf

if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
    _nil = [] execVM "custom\remote_messages.sqf";
    
    //Run the player monitor
    _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
    _playerMonitor =     [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";    
    
    // Epoch Admin Tools
    [] execVM "admintools\AdminList.sqf";
    if ( !((getPlayerUID player) in AdminList) && !((getPlayerUID player) in ModList) && !((getPlayerUID player) in tempList)) then
    {
            [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\antihack.sqf";
    };

    //Lights
    //[false,12] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lights_init.sqf";
};

Hi Guys,

 

Having a small problem getting this working on my server,

 

I can see in the logs the following

23:15:02 "RUNNING EVENT: supply_drop on [2014,4,27,23,15]"23:15:02 "RUNNING EVENT: supply_drop on [2014,4,27,23,15]"

However The loot circles on the map do not appear to be appearing,

 

I can see no other errors in my logs etc, was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as this is my first time setting up these events?

 

Thanks in advance

 

The markers, when created by the server, will only appear for players currently on the server, any new players joining won't see them.

[Britzy]

Thanks AxeMan I will test this further, as the script does look like its working

[djmartrix]

i have put in the files and code from page 1 of this forum post.

 

the mission spawns, but there is no AI, no vehicles or crates. plus there is no centre maker for the mission.

 

the coloured radius circle and text appear but nothing else.

 

what havent i done right?

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"],["any","any","any","any",10,"Military"], ["any","any","any","any",25,"Treasure"], ["any","any","any","any",40,"Supplyitems"], ["any","any","any","any",55,"Construction"]];

i have put this where it is supposed to go

 

i have also edited the mission files (ie construction, tresure etc) with the // that were needed.

 

do i need to have another AI installed or will this pack do it all?

[MrFlopsy]

How can I get this to work on Vilayer, they use a custom PBO file system.

[calamity]

How can I get this to work on Vilayer, they use a custom PBO file system.

you access the needed files on the ftp

[MrFlopsy]

you access the needed files on the ftp

The install says to go to the misson/modules, on Vilayer there is only ca/modules. I added it there and it did not work.

[StiflersM0M]

In your dayz_server.pbo not in your mission.pbo

[MrFlopsy]

Got it working, but when the Military one spawned it had just a single weapon, a m9sd, how do I make it spawn more items

[.50CalBros]

if anyone is able to set this up for me on my server i will give them a little money i am haveing a hard time trying to set it up just email me at [email protected] Thanks 

[Gravvy]

.50CalBros check your email.

[Nebgama]

Hey if someone could help me i have this installed and it seems like its working.

 

18:40:01 "RUNNING EVENT: Supplyitems on [2014,5,13,2,40]"
18:40:01 "Spawning loot event at [6382.59,8103.13]"
18:40:01 "Creating ammo box at [6289.8,8282.54]"
18:40:01 "Loot event setup, waiting for 900 seconds"

 

but when i go to the map marker i cannot find any loot.

[.50CalBros]

Hey are there AI as in like AI players at these missions?

[Darihon]

No, no AI.

[MrFlopsy]

Hey are there AI as in like AI players at these missions?

Not with this particular addon no, if you want something like that look into WAI. On my server I run these side by side so there is a variety of missions.

 

Hey if someone could help me i have this installed and it seems like its working.

 

18:40:01 "RUNNING EVENT: Supplyitems on [2014,5,13,2,40]"

18:40:01 "Creating ammo box at [6289.8,8282.54]"

18:40:01 "Loot event setup, waiting for 900 seconds"

 

but when i go to the map marker i cannot find any loot.

The loot can be anywhere in the highlighted radius.

If you open up the file. for example Construction.sqf on line 5 it shows this.

_debug = false; // Puts a marker exactly were the loot spawns

Change the false to true and then go to where the dot is on the map. (Requires a server restart upon altering code)

[Markokil321]

Working well, thank you :)

[Skaldrick]

is there something special i have to do to make missions come up?

[Sexysev]

Im sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it. Anyway to make these show up in the middle of your screen like WAI and not in the top right side of the screen?

 

Thanks!

Hello!

I need some help.

I get the marker on the map and the massage to players but not the crate with the loot "Construction Supplies".

 

 

This is my "Construction_supplies.sqf"

if (DZE_Event_Construction) exitWith {};//Only exit if this particular mission is already running - Allows other Epoch Events to run even if this event is still running.

DZE_Event_Construction = true;//This must be changed for other mission types to allow different missions to run alongside each other.

private["_clutter","_loot_lists"];

_spawnChance =  100; // Percentage chance of event happening

_markerRadius = 350; // Radius the loot can spawn and used for the marker

Hi, I installed this addon, but all of the events seems to be spawning off map. Is there a scripting bug?

Thanks!

[Razzputon]

I'm running Takistan map. I would like for these side missions to only spawn in towns. Is there a way to set static spawn points with a 400m radius spawn area?

 

P.S. Really nice work on the side missions.

[edhunter]

I got 3 more examples of pretty much the same, easier to edit and probably 1/3rd the size of that file:

 

building_supplies.sqf:

http://pastebin.com/ptMCaTPx

 

medical_supplies.sqf:

http://pastebin.com/hawP3V6y

 

military_supplies.sqf:

http://pastebin.com/3j1WnTvt

 

May it help figuring out how to randomize loot.

Please Note: these supplies might have loot in it (especially the military one) that you might want to remove.

 

How to install? It's simple,

 

1. You pick one of the scripts in this topic.

2. You save the file as _FILENAMEHERE_.sqf

3. Place this _FILENAMEHERE_.sqf inside the modules folder in the dayz_server.dbo file

4. Open your MPMission / init.sqf and edit the following line:

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"]];

5. Add a new block with your scriptname like this:

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"],["any","any","any","any",45,"_FILENAMEHERE_"]];

Make sure you dont add .sqf to that filename there. This will spawn the event every 15 mins before a full hour (real time, not ingame time).

 

Hopefully that solves all the questions posed in this topic :)

 

Well, i use your building supplies event, and it`s great. But two things i have to ask for. It`s really easy to find the box. is the grass around the box cutted? can i change that, how? and, how can i define the random spawnlocation? i mean, it`s everytime west /southwest. how can i fix that? would like to see them spawning all over the map, but not in water ;-)

 

thx, ed

Hello everyone,

 

I got the missions to load perfectly, but, is it possible to add AI? It's too boring without a challenge.

 

Thank you
