Creating a sensor.

[Renegade2k6]

How can I create a sensor with a 1000m radius so that it gives players a message when entering and leaving the designated area?

(check: http://dayz.st/w/Protected_Dome)

Check your mission.sqm file for class=sensors;

 

add this code before the } of that class and increase the items=# by one and Item# by last item#+1:

 

class Item#
{
position[]={distancefromwest,elevation,distancefromsouth};
a=100;
b=100;
rectangular=1
activationBy="WEST";
repeating=1;
interruptable=1;
age="UNKNOWN";
name="dome";
expCond="(vehicle player) in thislist;";
expActiv="dome = [] execVM ""dome.sqf"";";
expDesactiv="terminate dome; titleText [""You've left the dome"", ""PLAIN DOWN"", 3];";
class Effects
{
};
};

Better creating it with a script, then you can change the variable on the fly.

Really easy to do, I use them for my snowman loot drops..

Waits until the player is within a 10 meter radius then blasts out some festive tunes lol :)

If this works server side, it will be a lot easier for what  want to do :P Thanks

Hey.

How do i setup triggers serverside,any examples please.

[MatthewK]

You follow the example on the bis website , but put in a script on your server.

That's the best example I can offer :)

_nplayers = [];
while {true} do {
    {if((isPlayer _x) AND (_x distance [0,0,0] <= 1000) AND !(_x in _nplayers)) then {
        _nplayers = _nplayers + [_x];
        [nil,_x,"loc",rTITLETEXT,"You have entered the area","PLAIN DOWN",5] call RE;
        }forEach playableUnits;
    {if((isPlayer _x) AND (_x distance [0,0,0] >= 1000) AND (_x in _nplayers)) then {
        _nplayers = _nplayers - [_x];
        [nil,_x,"loc",rTITLETEXT,"You have left the area","PLAIN DOWN",5] call RE;
        };
        }forEach playableUnits;
sleep 1;
};

Have not tested this so I'm not sure if it works. Someone might be able to chime in and make this more efficient.
