Sarge AI Bug

[illumiajavier]

Hello all,

 

I'm having some issues with adding gold to the sarge AI. I tried altering the config to reflect that each bandit / soldier in my loadout drops ["ItemGoldBar",80]], but now none of the AI seem to be wanting to spawn in. What's the correct item code for adding currency to the AI as an item drop?

 

Regards,

 

Javier

80? Is that not to much for them to carry anyhow?

[illumiajavier]

Oh no, that's not quantity, haha. That'd be a little ridiculous. It's the chance, ranged from 1 to 100% in the code that they will spawn with the item. I still couldn't figure out the class ID for the gold bars before I crashed, but at least now my server has bandits running around with M8_Carbines and m16a4 ACOGs..

I have managed to get the ai to drop gold

 

Here is the inventory array:

items = [
	["ItemSodaCoke",75],
	["FoodCanBakedBeans",60],
	["ItemGoldBar",40],
	["ItemGoldBar",40],
	["ItemGoldBar",50]
];

Thanks again for your input Matt, testing it out in a few!

Update:
 
Testing it with similar values completely disables the AI from spawning. Here's a screenshot of the config file. As you can see, it's literally just one sentence getting modified that seems to be driving them nuts:

and if u remove it they spawn again?

[illumiajavier]

Yep, it's really odd. I'm not sure why it's not recognizing the bars as that value, that's how SQL reads them.

Well that explains why my AI aren't spawning in...

 

Thanks guys, will adjust them to not spawn currency and see how I go.

The code recognizes m8 sharpshooters and all the different combinations of primary weapon loadouts, but not gold, silver, etc. Hmm..

Well formatting the script like Maca I have found some simple coding errors. Missing , and ]  in a couple of places.

 

From there I have now managed to get the AI Spawning... 

 

However in steps the Might BE Monster! Script restriction #126... 

 

Looking at line 128 its set to "1" so thats not it..

 

Looked a little on opendayz and found a suggestion to modify line 133.. 

 

however that entire line is set to "1" as well, and its still kicking for #126.

 

Anyone managed to tackle this issue?

Works just fine for me, check your syntax.

SAR_leader_items = [["ItemSilverBar",30],["ItemGoldBar",15]];

SAR_rifleman_items = [["ItemSilverBar",30],["ItemGoldBar",15]];

SAR_sniper_items = [["ItemSilverBar",30],["ItemGoldBar",15]];

Also, check your rpt log, just restart the server and search for "error." If there is a conflict with an item it will tell you the line and stuff.

#128 is most likely not on line 128, it is likely on line #129 or later. Check your scripts.txt log file, it will give you the line of code which is causing the restriction, from there you can figure out what is happening. Depending on the line, dont use "1", use ! after with the code so it has an exception.

Did some additional testing on my server this morning, AI is now spawning with gold and silver on a low probability chance (30 each). It seems like the code had to come before the other items listed, like cans of beans and drinks. Not sure why, but putting silver and gold first in the item list of drops actually fixed it.

Its amazing how abit of formatting can reveal problems. Also use Sublime Text 2 with the SQF plugin.

I really need to mod my Notepad++ to recognize sqf and color code like that... soo lazy!

 

Any my eyes are getting old and this would help greatly.

I was reading this topic with regards to AI but couldn't help respond to this message (even though Forum Gods might punish me for reviving a thread!) and let you know this simple trick...

 

Just add SQF file extension to C++ and it should help with formatting (takes 1 second to do and works good enough).
