DZAI or WAI ?

[Blerp]

Hi,

I am used to make the missions myself in the editor , now i run WAI an DZAI    and if i try to add a custom mission outside those AI tools i get a few conflicts with the units and their waypoints .

I have looked online but cant find anything about this  . not even a good tutor  for WAI and DZAI    ok they comments in the scripts also explain a lot but still .

Now i tried to put in a  Air bus    a  MV22 with one pilot that go from one airport to a other . just wait there and cycle between that ,  as normal this is peanuts in the editor and works as it should but not in game on the dedicated server .

So if anyone can point me in the right direction about what better to use  WAI or DZAI for this and how to go from there then that would be great :).Or how to mix the custom selfmade things in edtior with WAI and DZAI without any general conflicts .

You dont have to make a tutor if you do not have the time but any help would be welcome.

your pilot who goes from one waypoint to other must be works.. see i make something similar some time ago and works with missions and others.

also this traders go to 9 waypoints in all server up time.

I made tons of missions for OFP and arma etc  and it works in the editor like it should but if i upload the script to my dedicated server it gives me a lot of errors .

So i made some mistakes here i guess  i removed the top lines from my mission file like the center ,groups and my players unit .

so the file look like this now

if (isServer) then {
_unit_0 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
  _this = _group_0 createUnit ["Ins_Soldier_Pilot", [15136.102, 16380.789], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _unit_0 = _this;
  _this setVehicleInit "This MoveInDriver  AT1";
  _this setUnitRank "CAPTAIN";
  _this setUnitAbility 0.94274074;
  if (true) then {_group_0 selectLeader _this;};
};

_vehicle_0 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
  _this = createVehicle ["MV22", [15135.68, 16376.838], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _vehicle_0 = _this;
  _this setVehicleVarName "AT1";
  AT1 = _this;
  _this setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";
  _this setPos [15135.68, 16376.838];
};

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[15132.827, 16379.379], 0];
_this setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_this setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
_waypoint_0 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[5139.9072, 4828.5054], 0];
_this setWaypointType "GETOUT";
_this setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_this setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
_waypoint_1 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[5102.2231, 4847.7114], 0];
_this setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_this setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
_waypoint_2 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[5139.9209, 4828.5313], 0];
_this setWaypointType "GETIN";
_waypoint_3 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[15161.271, 16339.514, 0], 0];
_waypoint_4 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[15141.047, 16387.672, 0], 0];
_this setWaypointType "GETOUT";
_waypoint_5 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[15116.04, 16413.898], 0];
_waypoint_6 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[15132.768, 16379.325], 0];
_this setWaypointType "GETIN";
_this setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
_waypoint_7 = _this;

_this = _group_0 addWaypoint [[5140.0605, 4828.1602], 0];
_this setWaypointType "CYCLE";
_this synchronizeWaypoint [_waypoint_1];
_waypoint_8 = _this;

};
};

any suggestions ?

structure is fine, but i think u need add again center east and his friendly or not with blufor at top. what kind of errors you got?

here ther a part of code of my su34

Spoiler

if (isServer) then {

_this = createCenter east;
_center_1 = _this;

_group_1 = createGroup _center_1;

//PILOT 1/// can`t be killed

_unit_1 = objNull;

_this setTriggerStatements ["this", "bomb = ""Bo_GBU12_LGB"" createVehicle getmarkerPos ""tar0""", ""];
_trigger_0 = _this;

};

other way is create units by scripts and maybe use "waituntil" nearest players and execute it by server side.. trough server_monitor.sqf,  server_functions.sqf or in If is server section in init.sqf

 

[juandayz]

i use it to generate an area to electrify fences.... buut you can adapt this see:

boats_init.sqf

Spoiler

msg = false;
boats = false;

while {true} do {
    private ["_pos","_allconditions","_inRange","_trigger"];
    
    
    
    _trigger = ["HERE PUT OBJET ID //USE ANY OBJET IN ARMA EDITOR TO USE AS TRIGGER "];
    _pos = getPosATL player;
    _allconditions = (nearestObjects [_pos, _trigger, 150]);
    _inRange = count _allconditions > 0;
    
    
    
    if  (_inRange) then {
        if (!msg) then {
            cutText ['The Navy control this area', 'PLAIN'];
            msg = true;
            [] execVM 'custom\boats\boats_start.sqf';
            
        };
    } else {
    boats = false;
    msg = false;
    };
};

 

boats_start.sqf

Spoiler

boats = true;
 
while {boats} do {

PUTS ALL YOUR AI AND BOATS HERE

    }else{
REMOVE BOATS AND AI HERE USE deleteVehicle
    };
 
 

    };

init.sqf into if is dedicated section.

//SERVER BOATS
[] execVM 'custom\boats\boats_init.sqf';

i dont knw why i was thinking you want boats :S aahah

[Blerp]

Well you were thinking right here  about the boats  its a part of my enemy islands :)     but hee Thanks a lot for the time and info you people took for helping me out here.

Iam going back to the editor and have some fun trying to get this going i have so many good ideas for missions  :) 

Ok my pilot can be killed and you can step in the MV22  but after that its Jail time for murder and stealing a vehicle .

The erros are  cant creat  unit   cant create  empty object the MVV even  LOL  well its way more fun if you struggle :)

And about the friendly towards ........   i thought i just made that up for setting the vehicle  SetCaptive true would solve that ..

Again thanks a lot for the help here  :)

[Blerp]

As soon i try to add the side east and the related objects    i connect to server and i wont let me in .    no id for player   i use to have this but i was able to do everything i guess its related to my admin tools  i might disable that and try to see if things work then ..If the problem are also in database i migh have to delete my character and details from database aswell and login as freshspawn ..

 

 

[juandayz]

ok i was seeing your sqf and u have some errors from arma2editor.

first in this line: (read the lines in red)

 _unit_0 = objNull;
if (true) then

  _this = _group_0 createUnit ["Ins_Soldier_Pilot", [15136.102, 16380.789], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  _unit_0 = _this;

  _this setUnitRank "CAPTAIN";
  _this setUnitAbility 0.94274074;

here, see how i do it.

I know u have experience with editor cuz your doing it bellow... but maybe try it.. remove the move in driver and use only waypoint
