Refresh Marker Script for Epoch Events

[Guest]

What is the use of this ?

 

Using that script the Event Markers will be reloaded every 30 seconds until the Event is finished!

So every player, regardless if he was on the Server when the Event started will have a marker on the map!

 

How to use it?

 

Delete your actual Create marker Section from your events and add this:

// Configurate Marker - Refresh Marker Script by *hs-s.com | waTTe - www.banditparty.de
 _markerRadius = 100;
 _markershape = "RECTANGLE";
 _markercolor = "ColorBlack";
 _missiontype = 1; //0=EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING 1=SPECIAL_EVENT_RUNNING
 _refreshmarker = [_location,_markerRadius,_markershape,_markercolor,_missiontype] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\modules\refreshmarker.sqf";

You can edit the size, shape and color (just use _missiontype = 0; i have modified it cause i have different events running).

 

Create a refreshmarker.sqf and copy it into your dayz_server.pbo (folder modules).

 

The refreshmarker.sqf looks like this:

// Create Marker - Refresh Marker Script by *hs-s.com | waTTe - www.banditparty.de

_coords = _this select 0;
_radius = _this select 1;
_shape = _this select 2;
_color = _this select 3;
_type = _this select 4;

if(_type == 0) then { // 0 Normal Event
while{EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING} do {
_event_marker = createMarker [ format ["loot_event_marker_%1", time], _coords];
_event_marker setMarkerShape _shape;
_event_marker setMarkerColor _color;
_event_marker setMarkerAlpha 0.5;
_event_marker setMarkerSize [(_radius + 50), (_radius + 50)];
sleep 15;
deleteMarker _event_marker;
};
};

if(_type == 1) then { // 1 Special Event
while{SPECIAL_EVENT_RUNNING} do {
_event_marker = createMarker [ format ["loot_event_marker_%1", time], _coords];
_event_marker setMarkerShape _shape;
_event_marker setMarkerColor _color;
_event_marker setMarkerAlpha 0.5;
_event_marker setMarkerSize [(_radius + 50), (_radius + 50)];
sleep 15;
deleteMarker _event_marker;
};
};

Done.

 

have fun

PS: Please make sure that in your events the parameters EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = true and EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = false are defined at the beginning and the end of your event. Otherwise it wont work!

Hey, thanks for this, I need to use with my treasure and Military epoch events.

 

Quick question, do I need to add _markershape, _markercolor, _missiontype & _refreshmarker to the private array at the top of my events?

 

Currently, they have _event_marker in the private array and the marker block looks like this:

_event_marker = createMarker [ format ["loot_event_marker_%1", _start_time], _position];
_event_marker setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
_event_marker setMarkerColor "ColorYellow";
_event_marker setMarkerAlpha 0.5;
_event_marker setMarkerSize [(_markerRadius + 50), (_markerRadius + 50)];

Sorry if I'm asking a daft question but, I'm not savvy with coding.... :/

 

Thanks

You should always put private variables in the private scope.

Thanks! :) I'll add those to the top of my treasure and military missions.

 

I'm hoping that may fix a problem I'm having with them where the crate despawns on time but the marker doesn't go and the event doesn't end for some time after that....
