[samnotts]

any chance of a had with puting  it in to my server

[lwbuk]

Cope the code from Salivals script, save it as scripts\locateVehicle.sqf in your mission folder

 

Open \overwrites\click_actions\config.sqf

Delete all thats in there and paste this

Spoiler

Job done.

 

You may need to amend your battleye filters as per the install thread too.

[samnotts]

delete all what and chance you can put it in for me 

[lwbuk]

It's literally just copy and paste two things, you should at least try to do it yourself or you will never learn  

Open \overwrites\click_actions\config.sqf

Delete all the text  thats in there and paste this

[salival]

I edited your post @lwbuk to reference the correct filename, it makes it a lot better from a debugging point of view to keep the filename as per my repo since I can just diffmerge against my repo when people have issues.

 

[samnotts]

so is what he posted above us now correct 

 

[lwbuk]

It's all correct, salival just changed the name of the file to locatevehicle.sqf, where as I use locate.sqf

i can never spell vehicle right the first time, so just gave up trying  

[salival]

The thing is, it;s really an easy script to install. If you are having trouble with it, I can complete the changes for you if you send me your mission PBO. But then, you don't learn anything about how to do basic text editing

[lwbuk]

I've already had access to his ftp and installed a couple of things. I could easily install this if he sent me the password again, but like you say, it's possibly the most simple thing to install, just copy and paste two things. 

You will never learn if you don't try, and I think you should try to do it yourself rather then rely on other people all the time. 

When I started I knew absolutely nothing about code. I just rented a server like you.  But I read this forum, asked questions and tried stuff out. If it screwed up, I went back and tried again.  There were many times I was in til 2-3 in the morning trying to fix stuff I'd broken, but when I fixed it, it felt like a great achievement.

There is still a lot I have to learn, but I will never learn it if I just get someone else to do all the work all the time.  

 

[samnotts]

yeah you both told me to copy and past to things yet their is only 1 thing to copy 

[lwbuk]

No there is two things, clearly.

 

Copy and paste the locate Vehicle code to a new file. Call it locateVehicle.sqf

Spoiler

/*
	locateVehicle by salival (https://github.com/oiad)
	
	* Supports multiple vehicles per key.
	* Used with clickActions to locate vehicles.
*/

private ["_characterID","_found","_i","_keyID","_keyIDS","_keyList","_keyName","_keyNames","_marker","_name","_position","_vehicle"];

_keyList = call epoch_tempKeys;
_keyIDS = _keyList select 0;
_keyNames = _keyList select 1;

_i = 0;
for "_i" from 0 to 60 do {deleteMarkerLocal ("vehicleMarker"+ (str _i));};

if (count _keyIDS < 1) exitWith {systemChat "No keys were found in your toolbelt or backpack."};

_i = 0;
{
	_keyID = parseNumber (_keyIDS select _forEachIndex);
	_keyName = _keyNames select _forEachIndex;
	_found = 0;
	{
		_vehicle = typeOf _x;
		_characterID = parseNumber (_x getVariable ["CharacterID","0"]);
		if ((_characterID == _keyID) && {_vehicle isKindOf "Air" || _vehicle isKindOf "LandVehicle" || _vehicle isKindOf "Ship"}) then {
			_found = _found +1;
			_i = _i +1;
			_position = getPos _x;
			_name = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _vehicle >> "displayName");
			_marker = createMarkerLocal ["vehicleMarker" + (str _i),[_position select 0,_position select 1]];
			_marker setMarkerShapeLocal "ICON";
			_marker setMarkerTypeLocal "DOT";
			_marker setMarkerColorLocal "ColorOrange";
			_marker setMarkerSizeLocal [1.0, 1.0];
			_marker setMarkerTextLocal format ["%1",_name];
			systemChat format ["%1 belongs to %2%3.",_keyName,_name,if (!alive _x) then {" (destroyed)"} else {""}];
		};
	} forEach vehicles;
	if (_found == 0) then {systemChat format ["No vehicles found for %1.",_keyName]};
} forEach _keyIDS;

if (_i > 0) then {
	systemChat format ["Found %1 matching vehicles, check your map for marked locations.",_i];
};

 

 

Copy and replace this code to your \overwrites\click_actions\config.sqf

Literally just two things to copy and paste, thats it.

[samnotts]

so where the first file  go then in  overwrites

[lwbuk]

Create a folder called Scripts in your mission, put the locateVehicle.sqf file in there.

[samnotts]

i all ready have  a folder in my missions called script s

[lwbuk]

Then just put the file in there. 

[samnotts]

ok ty
