ESVP - Extended Safezones with Vehicle Protection

[xXLeVeLXx]

@Sp4rkY No you dont have to do that your Script is great! And as you said if someone got problems with some other scripts he can post this in this Topic and we all can add stuff step by step xD

[Sp4rkY]

Yes I know how you mean that. I just was joking a bit. :)

updated to v0.894

fixed missing ppEffectEnable command

[Prae]

Quick question for you guys. I notice that the colored circles defining the safezone on the map does not come with this script. So I went into the editor and made my own circles and now i am just curious where to go from here as far as getting them to show up on my map on my epoch server.

So when I originally made the circles, it saves the file as a pbo in my Arma 3 folder.

Where would I add that to my server to make it show up (and stay) when the server starts up? Also is there anything I would need to put into the init or some other file to call it to start up?

 

Thanks

[Sp4rkY]

Just create the markers in the editor and save. This way it creates a mission.sqm in your local mpmissions folder. Open that mission.sqm and copy the markers into your one.

 

cheers

@Prae, for Markers, I have a simple Script for you.

Just add the coordinates and run it server side.

The SafeZones will get numbers in the same order as the array (Safe Zone 1 / Safe Zone 2/...)

Spoiler

_safeZones = [
    [xxx,yyy,zzz],
    [xxx,yyy,zzz],
    [xxx,yyy,zzz]
];
_c = 1;
{
    _marker = createMarker [('Safezonemarker'+(str _c)+'1'), _x];
    _marker setmarkertype "empty";
    _marker setmarkercolor 'ColorGreen';
    _marker setMarkerSize [250,250];
    _marker setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
    _marker setMarkerBrush "Grid";
    
    _marker = createMarker [('Safezonemarker'+(str _c)+'2'), _x];
    _marker setmarkertype "mil_warning";
    _marker setmarkercolor 'ColorRed';
    _marker setMarkerSize [1,1];
    _marker setMarkerText ("Safe Zone "+(str _c));
    _c = _c+1;
} forEach _safeZones;
 

@Sp4rkY could add it to his Script, if he want.

and then after i take that out i just copy paste the rest into the mission?

 

I really have no idea what i am doing when it comes to scripting. All the scripts that I currently am running on my server had fairly detailed instructions on how to install them. That being said, I know it seems easy to everyone else to just say "run this server side", but I actually don't understand what that means. 

 

I appreciate all the help I can get on figuring out where to put certain stuff within all my server files.

And thank you for providing the code He-Man, but could you provide a little more detailed description of what I need to do with it?

[Sp4rkY]

Ok, I will insert something for markers to ESVP. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow :)
Thx for the idea @He-Man

 

[He-Man]

@Prae, just paste in your init.sqf:

Spoiler

if (isserver) then {
    _safeZones = [
        [13318.2,14534.1,0],
        [6151.52,16808.1,0],
        [18456.199,14283.1,0]
    ];
    _c = 1;
    {
        _marker = createMarker [('Safezonemarker'+(str _c)+'1'), _x];
        _marker setmarkertype "empty";
        _marker setmarkercolor 'ColorGreen';
        _marker setMarkerSize [250,250];
        _marker setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
        _marker setMarkerBrush "Grid";
        
        _marker = createMarker [('Safezonemarker'+(str _c)+'2'), _x];
        _marker setmarkertype "mil_warning";
        _marker setmarkercolor 'ColorRed';
        _marker setMarkerSize [1,1];
        _marker setMarkerText ("Safe Zone "+(str _c));
        _c = _c+1;
    } forEach _safeZones;
};

"if (isserver)" means it runs only serverside.

The Coordinates I have from your Mission.sqm.

Note, that the coordinates in the mission.sqm are {xx,zz,yy} and in a script it is [xx,yy,zz].

Because that, it is different in your mission and in my script.

[Prae]

Ah ok, I understand now. So I pasted that into my init.sqf, however i already had a  if (isserver) then  parameter, so I would put that in to that same paramater correct?

[He-Man]

Yes, this is correct.

[Prae]

Thank you very much! Works like a charm

 

[Sp4rkY]

updated to v0.915

[added] feature to set map markers directly from this script (no need to define them anywhere else now)

 

cheers

[Teacher]

Hi all. There are two questions how to increase the window size to "1" Where you can change the font to "2" and I found only one halyard but not related to this inscription. Thanks in advance!

[Sp4rkY]

Thats not possible because both things are fixed from the game/Epoch.

cheers

Hey are the be filters up to date? Having probs with the setvariable restriction.

I readded ESVP to my server but somehow the hints are missing when you enter safezones. But you cant kill other players so they seem to be safe. Any idea whats missing?

Tried to add them like i usually added filters using != but still doesnt work. It also seems to be variable value restriction so has to be added to variableval.txt but i didnt get this to work.

Edit: Fixed the Hints issue, needed to change #include in description.txt before some other addons
