DayZ Epoch Server add custom loot crate

[Adaaam95]

Hello,

I'm very new to scripting and I've been trying to get this to work for a while now. I recently got my first dayz epoch server up and running and I've started to customize the map and add new buildings etc. I'm trying to add a custom loot crate to my server which spawns a set list of items from an array or whatever but I can't seem to find a way to get it to work. All of the tutorials and posts about it I've seen are outdated or they are just too confusing to follow. I just want a simple guide on where I need to put each line of code in order to get this to work. I have WAI on my server which I think is for AI missions and apparently you can edit the config files to spawn custom loot crates but I'm really not sure.

If someone could help me out that would be great

Thanks,

Adam

if (isServer) then {


		_vehicle_999999 = objNull;
		
		if (true) then
		{
		  _this = createVehicle ["TKVehicleBox_EP1", [16434.813,18326.1,4.5776367e-005], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
		  _vehicle_999999 = _this;
		  _this setDir 20;
		  _vehicle_999999 setVariable ["ObjectID","1",true];
          _vehicle_999999 setVariable ["permaLoot",true];

		  clearWeaponCargoGlobal _this;
		  clearMagazineCargoGlobal _this;

		  
		  _this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];
		};
};

Change this for the co-ords of where you want your box to spawn : [16434.813,18326.1,4.5776367e-005]

Change this to whatever type of box you want : "TKVehicleBox_EP1"

Change this to alter what spawns in the box :  _this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];

You can add more lines for more items : 

_this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];

_this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];

_this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];

_this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ItemBriefcase100oz",10];

If it's a weapon, you'll need to change addMagazineCargoGlobal to addWeaponCargoGlobal

Save that whole thing as lootbox.sqf (or whatever you like)

Stick it in a "custom" folder in the server.pbo and add this line to the bottom of your server_monitor.sqf (above publicVariable "sm_done";) to spawn it :     [] ExecVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\custom\lootbox.sqf";

Thanks, I'll give this a go and let you know if it works

[ElDubya]

It works, I use it on my own server :)

[Adaaam95]

I got it working on mine, thanks :)

I wonder if its working for 1.0.6.1? 

 

I had something that I was able to put a couple marker so box spawn different place each restart but I don't find it and I don't remember how to do it, can we do that with the one you use? And how?

[lwbuk]

There is dzai hotspots which puts a certain number of markers on the map and one of the markers has a loot box guarded by ai. 

Works fine on 1061, just edit the config files to reflect any class name changes.

Well DZMS hot spot. 

I don't wanna use that, I want a crate in my bandit town that will change position every restart. I had something before but I can't find it anymore.

do you wanna spawn a crate into a bandit town? in diferents locations after each server restar, but allways into the area of this bandit town?

if is it.. first you will need define some coords to mark the center of this bandit town.. for example

but if u wanna spawn this crate in some random location around the map then i guess u can use the sytax of epoch events

Yes i only want it in the bandit town but in different place. I already have my coords. Where do I put that, I'm gonna give a try?

And if u wanna have control over the time when the crate spawn and send msg to the players.. you can do the following.

use this code with your own coords
