[RELEASE] BigEgg's Safe Zones **Updated 11/26**

[BigEgg]

Hey everyone,

 

Wanted to post my safe zone script for all to use if they wish.

 

All information about features, installation etc... can be found on the github:

https://github.com/BigEgg17/Safe-Zones

 

Please let me know if there are any issues :)

 

Update 11/26:

I have fixed an issue where players who were not in the driver's group upon entry to the safe zone would be ejected from the vehicle.

If you made the optional change in your server_publishVehicle2.sqf, please adjust it to the new line that I have updated in the Github instructions.

[Tricks]

This is awesome, thank you very much. I will try it this evening on my test server.

work nice

I have updated the script to now support community localizations, which can be found here:

Players in group ( passenger ) random eject if entering safezone.

Hey, thanks for this reply. It appears I overlooked this possibility, but yes, you are correct: Players that enter the safe zone in a vehicle, but are not in the group of the owner of that vehicle, would logically be ejected. I will push an update to fix this sometime in the next couple days.

I would need to do some testing before I could even believe this was possible. How did you test it? Using admins? Need some more information.

I was unable to successfully reproduce this. Can you please make sure you have no conflicting scripts?

i think not

if you buy a vehicle in trader, it's invulnerable, yes. But after getting in the vehicle and getting off, no matter the vehicle is locked or not, it can be damaged.

 

I ended up adding this to my veh_handleDam.sqf to prevent this issue.

 

	if (_vehicle getVariable ["safezoneEH", true]) exitWith {0};

Your solution is not global. Just need a better understanding of what you mean. If you are saying that the vehicle loses god mode when you get in, this would be a localization issue, meaning that you have another script overriding the damage handler of the safe zone script.

Still unable to reproduce - can you provide some more information (specific steps to reproduce)?

@BigEgg

What I noticed so far:

- Players getting ejected when not in player group from a vehicle, even when they are in the vehicle before entering the safe zone, so that is working as intended. Perhaps you could add somthing that allows players to stay in the vehicle if they were already in the vehicle before entering the safe zone

- Vehicle God Mode does not work at all. Tested with and without infistar. If you driving against a wall inside the safe zone the vehicle is getting damaged. It is the same for shooting from outside into the safe zone.

- Players have a complete working godmode for me. @khalcifer if you have infistar, make sure you test the god mode without it. There is a function in the infistar AH.sqf for safe zones.

Black Hole gaming has been running this script for a bit now. It has been working great! Thank you @BigEgg

Thanks so much for this information :)

 

The vehicle god mode problem concerns me, but I may see the problem. If you could do so, please move the veh_handledam changes from the bottom of the file to just above the if (!isDedicated) text. My concern is that maybe the loop is preventing the code from reaching the changes. When I get my servers back up and running tomorrow (dedi changes), I will test further, but can almost bet this is the case.

Couldn't you add a check in the veh_handleDamage.sqf whether the vehicle is in a safezone or not? And if yes just exitWith nothing?

This would work where the vehicle was local only. There must be global communication so that other clients understand that the vehicle is within safe zone boundaries or indestructible. I do this by checking distance first, then, a separate check which is done for vehicles that are outside safe zone boundaries but still have the timer running. The second check just uses a global set variable to communicate to all clients that the vehicle is safe. The way I have it works, I am almost positive the code just isn't being read because of a dumb mistake I made compiling this for the community. The loop was in a code block which is why I didn't see it haha - it is simply stopping the code at the bottom from being read for clients.

@BigEgg Yes you were right. Vehicle Godmode works as intended now.

Thanks for letting me know. I have pushed the update to fix vehicle god mode here:

https://github.com/BigEgg17/Safe-Zones/commit/bb918c405b43a210f83e9bc1b66c7ad31f48b1ed

 

Users can either update the code themselves or simply replace their file with the new one.

I could still reproduce the issue (vehicles without godmode in safezone) using these below steps:

1. Go to safezone and buy a vehicle from the trader
(Notice at this step, the vehicle is locked, and it has godmode on - expected)
2. Get out of the vehicle (does not matter if we leave it locked or unlocked)
3. Go outside the safezone, shoot the vehicle

Actual:
3. The vehicle still gets damaged.

I also checked the whole mission files and don't see and veh damage that overwrite the event handler. I did a little printout to debug and see that after entering/exiting the vehicles in safezones, this safezoneEH is being set to false. That's why my solution above is to set that to true in the event handler.

Please be sure to update to the latest version and try again, as this will not be the case.

Hi!

Thanks for the work, but I have a problem:

after installing the script to a fresh server (as first script) BE immediately kicks me off:

07.05.2018 20:34:15: <myname> (127.0.0.1:2316) <myid> - #24 "fired;
};
player_fired = { 
deleteVehicle (_this select 6);
cutText [localize "STR_CL_SZ_FIRE", "WHITE IN"];
};

[_speedLimit, _"

 

i'm not that used to the be filters, maybe you can help me :)

On line 26 of your BattlEye scripts.txt, paste this:
