Help with a napf bridge.

[Robert261171]

Can anyone help me with building a bridge on a napf map,

I've been playing with the 3d editor with no luck.

I want the bridge to go from the airport to suhrenfeld array island.

The reason is I have made a Ai island and want to make it easier for players to get there.

Hope you can help..

y, I remember now, that there was a problem with it showing up sometimes.

what helps is this:

1. easy way: just relog and it should show.

2. better way: do the same with the bridge on the client side. what I mean is this:

execute the same function from init. sqf (if (!isDedicated) then { part) and let the bridge spawn clientside too.

so its executed from the server and the client. this fixes the issue of the bridge not showing up for the first player to join.

you have 2 ,, after the direction parameter.

yes working now thanks, how can I adjust the height of the bridge? 

[seelenapparat]

third parameter in the first array.

change 0.00181246 to something higher.

0.1081246 e.g.

Called it in the init.SQF

if (isServer) then {
    if (dayz_POIs && (toLower worldName == "chernarus")) then {call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\mission\chernarus\poi\init.sqf";};
    call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\system\dynamic_vehicle.sqf";
    call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf";
    //Extra Buildings

    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\insel.sqf";
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\Bridge.sqf";

And the script is,

/*

*/

fnc_bridgeA2 = {

        _start = createVehicle [_this select 2,_this select 0,[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
        _start setVectorUp [0,0,1];
        _start setDir (_this select 1);
        _start setPosATL (_this select 0);
        for "_i" from 1 to (_this select 3) do {
                _obj = createVehicle [_this select 2,_this select 0,[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
                _obj attachTo [_start, [_i*(_this select 4),_i*(_this select 5),_i*(_this select 6)]];
        };
};

Correct me if I´m wrong ,,,,,,, but ...... when you call this directly from the init.sqf and not from the dayz_server.pbo you need only once of them, or?

What I mean is create a new folder in the mpmission like "bridge" and name the script bridge.sqf ....... then call it from the init.sqf with

[] execVM "\bridge\bridge.sqf";

there is no need for it in the dayz_server.pbo.

And both, the server and the client side hase it.

The script works perfect, not only with bridges. Also with illumination of a runway with lights, with walls and so on.

Create a folder called "bridge" in your mpmission folder and save it there!

After that at the bottom of your init.sqf (mpmission) paste this:

[] execVM "bridge\bridge.sqf";

 

Thats it! Works perfect!

My bridge is south of that, with no bumps or gaps. Thanks for the information.  I am going to try this. If it works, you will have proven that I wasted way to many hours in editor lol

The problem is the direction ....... 0° should lead it north, 90° east, 180° south and 270° west (seen from the start coordinate)
