Wicked AI/Mission system

[lostandcrazy34]

A couple of questions:

 

I run a PVE server and I don't want players to lose humanity at hero missions.

 

• Can I change hero missions into bandits ones?
• Can I change the humanity lost from killing heros into humanity gain?
• I read somewhere that it might be possible to make a hero mission friendly to player heros, is this the case and if so, how is it defined?

Thanks in advance.  :)

they have the new WAI mission system that has hero and bandit missions.. if you look on the epochmods section you should see it.

it doesn't go in the mission.pbo, it goes in the dayz_server.pbo which is housed under @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons

 

you might want to try building a test server, and blowing it up a few times. it may keep you out of trouble.

I added the WAI folder to my Dayz_server folder i added the commands, im not sure what is going on, i followed the instructions with the newest update 2.2.0 and nothing happens, keep in mind my server is a Panthera Dayz epoch server.

 

Im hosting from vilayer, if im correct, i place the WAI folder inside the Dayz_epoch folder right? so it should look like this? vilayercodecustom/dayz_epoch/WAI/init.sqf   right?

Nope - you need to download and unpack your server pbo. And put the WAI folder in the root directory. The Server pbo is normally located here:-

 

\@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server.pbo

[Zgraphz]

What i had said is my server i dont have to pack or unpack anything. i did everything correct or as i was explained how to do so.

Sorry I missed the part about about vilayer hosting - okay - the folder is in the right place the. Can you logon to the server and post your .rpt file?

I would like to add a AT to some ai. need a little help

in the examples in the default.sqf it shows

 

"Random", or ["Random","at"], // Primary gun set number and rocket launcher. "Random" for random weapon set, "at" for anti-tank, "aa" for anti-air launcher

 

do i make it look like this

Hi Thug  for AT launchers use this format

Thank you for your help

Without skimming through all 50 + pages, can someone tell me if there is a way to make multiple types of static weapon spawn at a mission? It seems as though the weapon is either random, or predefined, but whatever it is, there is only one kind at each mission. So if the M2 is selected, there will be several M2's but ONLY M2's.

I was thinking something like this

//Static Guns
	[[
		[(_position select 0) + 25, (_position select 1) + 25, 0],
		[(_position select 0) - 25, (_position select 1) - 25, 0]
	],["M2StaticMG","DSHKM_Ins"],"extreme","Hero","Hero",0,2,"Random","Random",_mission] call spawn_static;

Would that work?

Hello is sometimes set the delay after AI spawn marked on a map? Not that I can not find it anywhere :-( Thank you in advance.

[wildwezul]

Ok, So I had DZMS and WAi installed, and everything was fine and working... then I took the server down, backed up my files, and tried loading in a new building script. It didn't work, so I deleted my mission and server pbo and reloaded from the backup. 

 

Now, the missions spawn and all the ai kill each other. usually 2 live, and have what seems to be "fast fire" and Unlimited ammo... as if they had Infistar on and were using it. The crates also, most of the time, don't spawn any loot. 

 

Checking my Rpt it says this when loading a mission now (never use to) 

 

http://pastebin.com/9TfLBmxs

 

Also I find out that a standard player can't kill those last one or two Ai... I can, as an Admin, though.

Im gonna take a stab in the dark and say you updated your antihack? Perhaps there might be an experimental variable which moves the ai to the client that you may need to set to false? 

Any time there is something you can do as an "admin" that regular players cannot is more than most likely antihack related.

[don2k7]

hi there for the missions (without going through 50 pages)

is it possible under the _position = [80] call find_position; is it possible to change these to a series of grid references for the mission to spawn for example the beachhead mission

 

cheers

 You were right. I had updated Infistar the previous night, when I got their email. I rolled it back to the previous version and everything was ok. I'll have to look through it and fine out where anything is in it to set to true or false. Thanks

I gave you a huge hint. Ill go one step further.

/* *experimental* - will transfer serverside units (including mission AI) to clientside */

Thank you, sir.

Is there a way to stop missions from spawning within a certain range from plot poles?

 

I've got a few players who have missions spawning just outside their plot poles.  Imagine logging in to a hero base, 50m away...

 

Thanks

thanks for the info! this fixed the loot boxes

Hi everyone,

first of all thanks for this great script :) But I've got a problem with the spawning of missions. I have a Overpoch Origins server so that the map is taviana. By default settings of the find_position.sqf the missions always spawn on mountains. So I've configured static positions where missions can spawn but I've got a problem with this. If someone completes a mission there often spawns a new mission exactly at this position although there are many other positions. This is my find_position.sqf:

if(isServer) then {
    
    private ["_i","_traders","_possiblePositions","_validspot","_position"];

    markerready = false;

    if(use_blacklist) then {
        _possiblePositions = [
            [8421.72, 20052.3, 0],
            [8859.07, 19218.7, 0],

        };

    };
    _position set [2, 0];
    _position
};

Is there a way to configure that after cleaning a mission runs a timer that no other mission can spawn at this position for 30 minutes for example? I would be very grateful if anyone has a solution for this.

Best regards,
