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.

[[15259.6,16511.8,0.00181246], 54.0763,,"MAP_bridge_asf1_25",39,40,0,0] call fnc_bridgeA2;

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\traders\napf.sqf";         //Add trader agents
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\bankTraders\napf.sqf";     //Add banking agents
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\Hero.sqf";
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\insel.sqf";
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\Bridge.sqf";

And the script is,

/*

    If modified and released give credits where due, thank you.
    
*/

fnc_bridgeA2 = {
        private ["_start","_obj"];
        _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)]];
        };
};

[[16661.828, 17280.934, -5.7427592], 148,"Land_nav_pier_m_2",41,40,0,0] call fnc_bridgeA2;

 

All done

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.

yes thats what I have done, put it all in the mission.pbo instead of the server.pbo and works fine now

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:

Spoiler

[] execVM "bridge\bridge.sqf";

 

Thats it! Works perfect!

[DAKA]

lol, thats what I did and it did not work.

This bridge starts behind AWOLS and goes to the island. 1400+m away (well it should) 

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

[DAKA]

must be, its GTX.

[DAKA]

I will try it again. which code do I use, there are a couple of them listed here. which would you suggest.

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

@DAKA the one I post bevor.
