Wicked AI/Mission system

Why do I loaded the server does not have the job

[Mig]

there any error in the rpt. 

I do not understand why he spawn on earth, he faudrai that he appear in the lab, I even check the coordinates there is no problem.

:(

[ekroemer]

It's the same with crates and AI may spawn on a building roof even if given a z coordinate of 0.

Google results for something like "ARMA2 place AI in buildings" suggest that in Arma2 you can only place AI in certain positions of certain buildings and that those positions are given by index per building type and not by coordinate.

I didn't find anything DayZ related, it may well be that the added/modified buildings don't meet the necessary prerequisites.

[Mig]

it must be possible one way or another because of Origins there are bots in the lab.

[ekroemer]

Certainly, but the procedure seems to be complicated. Again looking at my google results it seems that Arma2 getpos for building slots only returns a standard position and that the actual positioning is done with standard coordinates.

 

Nevertheless I myself did not manage to position DZMS boxes or bots at well defined positions with height over ground > 0.  Mostly the z coordinate seems to be ignored, but sometimes boxes placed at ground level float 1m in the air... ;-)

 

If you are more successful I'd be interested!

Started seeing this error in the past couple of days. No changes to anything on the server recently and I can' figure out what is happening. I checked and the wreck is spawning but there are no loot piles. Other AI missions are spawning properly with no errors reported.

I have a few questions, 

 

- How do you make it that more missions spawn at the same moment?

- Why aint any more mission popping up after 2 hours uptime?

To have more than one mission spawn at a time you need to run multiple separate mission timers. Take a look at the code for DZMS for an excellent example of how you can do this. to give you an idea of how far you can take this, we run four separate groups of missions from very easy to very hard. Each difficulty of mission has around 6 different scenarios making for a good bit of variety.

 

I believe WAI has an option to kill the mission that spawned after a certain time then respawn another at another spot. This is a nice feature if a mission lands in a spot no one can access, which is a common problem on NAPF.

I have my timers set like, 

// Time between missions (seconds)
wai_mission_timer = 350;

// How long before a mission times out (seconds)
wai_mission_timeout = 1800;

And i have to wait 30 minutes after a mission is cleared, and after 2 hours uptime no more missions pop up..  :(

hello 

I want to spawn bots in the lab on my server epoch origins, but the bots spawn on the surface, how to make them appear in the lab? 

thank you

 

Have you tried entering the actual height for the floor in the labs? If you are able to run an Admin monitor such as the one that comes with many of the Dual Debug monitors or Infistar then you can get the coordinates and height information there. Otherwise, enter the labs and then log out (if your server lets you) then check your player position in the database. 

 

I suspect that when the height is 0 the game may default to spawn objects/AI at whatever the ground level is for that spot on the map.

Labs? Ground levels? uhm?  :blink:

Thanks!

you need a new crash_spawner.sqf who is combatible with the new loottable.

I'll give you my version  download

Great, thanks! I'll be loading this up ASAP. Is it necessary to make any other changes?

Hello people

 

is possible a static loot box for each mission?

[OSMOX]

What files all do i need to edit if i want to make a new unit  resistance =  friendly to west and agg to eastern for land veh patrol,  air patrol and ai spawn  land ...This way i can have mission ai Eastern and attack everyone..

[OSMOX]

how do you make 2-4 mission show up on the map instead of 1?

Avez-vous essayé d'entrer la hauteur réelle de la chaussée dans les laboratoires? Si vous êtes en mesure d'exécuter un moniteur d'administration tel que celui qui vient avec la plupart des moniteurs double débogage ou Infistar alors vous pouvez obtenir les coordonnées et informations de hauteur là-bas. Sinon, entrez les laboratoires et puis déconnectez-vous (si votre serveur vous permet) puis vérifiez votre position de joueur dans la base de données. 

 

Je suppose que lorsque la hauteur est 0, le jeu peut par défaut pour frayer objets / AI à quel que soit le niveau du sol est à cet endroit sur la carte.

Je prends les coordonnées sur le moniteur de débogage Infistar, voici quelques coordonnées par exemple.

 

14804.632, 9942.6318, 0.43865234

14818.136, 9939.833, 4.095118

I suspect that when the height is 0 the game may default to spawn objects/AI at whatever the ground level is for that spot on the map.

The 3rd coordinate is height over ground, meaning that z=0 will always (barring some oddities) place the item at ground level, that is: level of bare earth regardless of any buildings placed there.

 

The problem is that objects placed on an upper floor (or on the ground floor if its height differs from 0) will occur at z=0, ingame.

 

I don't know why that is the case. Maybe during placement the z coordinate is ignored or the object falls 'through the floor', even though the map buildings are spawned before the object is.

 

Even stranger: when you place a DZMS crate in a church or near sheds you sometimes find the guarding AIs on top of the sheds (that is at z coordinates greater (!) than the box) or dead, apparently from spawning on the church's roof and falling down, but never in the church.

So there seems to be a more complicated postprocessing to change an object's placement to heights other than defined in it's position argument.

You cant

You need to run multiple mission systems , I run WAI & DZMS to get multiple running , works fine

[DaBi]

Is there anyway to enable friendly fire between the ai so they stop killing each other through crossfire?

aww man, I spent two evenings burning my brain on this... ended up changing one line:

_itemTypes =    [] + getArray (_config >> "lootType");

the one thing I didn't figure out how to change was the spread of the loot. Right now, everything is clustered around the tail of the chopper. no more nice spread.

 

I noticed the mass graves are like this too... pretty much everything that uses the crash_spawner template.

[f3cuk]

It is supposed to work like that. If you want all loot to spawn on top of eachother just move

_maxLootRadius = (random _maxLootRadius) + _minLootRadius;
_lootPos = [_pos, _maxLootRadius, random 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;

outside (to top) the for loop.

So you get something like:

 

_maxLootRadius = (random _maxLootRadius) + _minLootRadius;
_lootPos = [_pos, _maxLootRadius, random 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;

for "_x" from 1 to _num do {
	_index1 = floor(random _cntWeights);
	_index2 = _weights select _index1;
	_itemType = _itemTypes select _index2;
	[_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;
};

[Mr White]

_maxLootRadius = (random _maxLootRadius) + _minLootRadius;
_lootPos = [_pos, _maxLootRadius, random 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;

for "_x" from 1 to _num do {
	_index1 = floor(random _cntWeights);
	_index2 = _weights select _index1;
	_itemType = _itemTypes select _index2;
	[_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;
};

 

yeah, that's pretty much what I had.

 

Before going to 1.0.5.1 I remember a nice spread, where you could pick and choose what you want among the debris. Now I have to loot everything, and dump what I don't want on the side.

[Crazmanian]

Im having a problem with on screen messages missons work fine but theres no messages poping for misson start and misson finish anyone have any ideas. Not sure if its related but also death messages arent appearing in the center of the screen either.

[Civyar]

I had installed this, checked to see missions were spawning, and they were..

Restarted server and now it isn't working! No missions..

16:27:41 "WAI: Mission Config File Loaded"

Is all I see that relates to WAI in the .RPT.

 

Any ideas please?
