Server trader NPCs

[poppen1234]

So im running an ORI/epoch server. trying to get my trade npcs to spawn at the original ORI location.

No matter where i set their height. they will only spawn on the ground level. almost as if they are loading in before the map models are. is there a way to change the load order of these?

Hello,

Try with : setPosATL

Not sure what ori location is but are npc's spawning before objects/buildings?

also do you reset thier location after creatation

_this = createVehicle .......
_this setDir .......
_this setPos .......
_this setVectorUp ......

so would it be like

["GUE_Woodlander2", setPosATL  [23371.3,5283.87,25],50.2731],

In tavi the origional trader city is a little island out on the bottom right on the map.

 

i call my agents in my in my init in my mission files

Quote

if (isServer) then {
    if (dayz_POIs) 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";
    call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "maps\milbasekameni.sqf";
    //Get the server to setup what waterholes are going to be infected and then broadcast to everyone.
    if (dayz_infectiousWaterholes) then {execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\mission\chernarus\infectiousWaterholes\init.sqf";};
    // Lootable objects from CfgTownGeneratorDefault.hpp
    if (dayz_townGenerator) then { execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\mission\chernarus\MainLootableObjects.sqf"; };
    execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\traders\taviana.sqf"; //Add trader agents

and my agent file looks like this.

You need to modify the file: server_spawnTraders.sqf
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/compile/server_spawnTraders.sqf

 

it should look like this:

private "_trader";
{
	_trader = createAgent [_x select 0,_x select 1,[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"]; 
	{_trader removeMagazine _x;} count magazines _trader;
	removeAllItems _trader;
	removeAllWeapons _trader;
	removeBackpack _trader;
	_trader switchMove "";
	_trader setDir (_x select 2);
	_trader setVehicleInit "this disableAI 'ANIM'; this disableAI 'AUTOTARGET'; this disableAI 'FSM'; this disableAI 'MOVE'; this disableAI 'TARGET'; this setBehaviour 'CARELESS'; this forceSpeed 0; this allowDamage false;";
	_trader setUnitAbility 0.6;
	_trader disableAI "ANIM";
	_trader disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
	_trader disableAI "FSM";
	_trader disableAI "MOVE";
	_trader disableAI "TARGET";
	_trader setBehaviour "CARELESS";
	_trader setcaptive true;
	_trader forceSpeed 0;
	_trader allowDamage false;
	_trader enableSimulation false;
  
    _trader setPosATL _x select 1;
  
} count _this;

processInitCommands;

didnt work at all. im not sure what im doing wrong. but heres my rpt errors

 

18:30:28   Error Type String, expected Number

18:30:28 Error in expression <trader enableSimulation false;

_trader setPosATL _x select 1;

} count _this;

>

18:30:28   Error position: <setPosATL _x select 1;

} count _this;

>

18:30:28   Error Type String, expected Number

 

 

 

 

[Crude]

try
_trader setPosATL (_x select 1);

Did you remove the setPosATL from the other file if you added it.
["GUE_Woodlander2", setPosATL  [23371.3,5283.87,25],50.2731],

Also your best friend when scripting is logs

diag_log format["# MY LOG / DEBUG # %1",  _x select 1];

Add this to above or below _trader = createAgent

this will show you what the _x select 1 is and it should look something like [23371.3,5283.87,25]

# MY LOG / DEBUG # [23371.3,5283.87,25]
