Trying to script something to remove dumped vehicles left at trader cities at server restart or at set times. Am trying to use the !canbuild event as a location trigger. Anyone else working on something like this?

The situation of dumped vehicles at traders has become worse since now only the driver/owner can sell the vehicle.

omg, I want something like this soooo bad.

 

My thinking was that you could write a SQL query that will check within a set worldspace range and delete the vehicles in the DB?

 

I don't even know if that's possible.

 

Other option would be to use a sensor to trigger an .sqf script?

 

Just spit balling ideas at this point.

I was thinking in the line of using the daytime command (if it exists in dayz too) and implement it with yours (@maca134) safezone script. 

Basicly meaning that at a certain time of the day, with the daytime command the script becomes active and deletes all vehicles parked inside the zone. Acting just like a safezone works.

So the script is initialized but lays dormant till that time.

Dunno if that would work, just a theory. 
 

daytime > 19

http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=97


Just a snippet:
 

if daytime > 19 = true { // should it really be ">" and not "="? (24h)

SafeZoneEnable = {
	hintSilent "Do not park you cars here, traffic wardens are watching.";
	player setDamage = 1; // cant remember the vehicle damage function :)
	};
	
};forEach _safezones; //Seemd important so I used it.

As you can see, I am terrible at scripting and have no real talent in it so I'll just leave this here as theoretical scenario.


If my ideas are completely out of bounds, disregard them :)

Lol maca that was a good laugh :P

Anyway you can do that in SQL but a simple arma script would be easy to code and more versatile i think.

 

A script to delete vehicles then set to damaged status 1 within the canbuild=false area that could be called at server startup only would be the best method.

The situation has got worse since no one else can sell the vehicles that are left in the spawn area. Then its compounded by players thinking its going to be ok to buy a new vehicle, the pile gets bigger ;)

another way this could be done is to modify the self actions script when the player locks the vehicle. Check if the vehicle is within a set distance from an array of positions and if it is set a timer to auto unlock and inform the player of how much time he has. That way a player can still lock the vehicle in the trader zone, do what he wants and if he doesnt return to the vehicle and move it, it will get unlocked automatically.

 

This wouldnt really clean the vehicles at trader zones but would probably stop people from leaving vehicles they want there. Vehicles that people dont want that are left in the trader zone will then get unlocked and are free for anyone else to use/sell. This would probably be easier to implement and wouldnt really cause as much of an issue. You could also set it so as on server start the locations are checked again for locked vehicles and then just unlock them all too.

You can also just download PrivateHiveTools and delete the vehicle from the live map.

 

We do this already using a tool, but 4 servers with high player numbers mean a lot of vehicles left at traders like they're a parking lot.

Ideally I would like to see a script where it teleports or deletes the vehicle after a set period of time (configurable by server owner) like 15minutes after spawned, if it's still in the sensor area it's teleported or removed from the server.

 

If it's teleported it could go to an impound lot :D

ok i had 5 minutes time to script a little function for you guys, I hope this is what you want:

private ["_clearAreas","_radius","_vehicles","_objectID","_objectUID"];

_clearAreas = [zonestary, zonebash, zoneklen]; // use sensor names or positions like [x,y,z]
_radius = 100;

{
	_vehicles = _x nearObjects ["AllVehicles", _radius];
	{
		_objectID = _x getVariable ["ObjectID", "0"];
		_objectUID = _x getVariable ["ObjectUID", "0"];
		[_objectID, _objectUID, "CLEAR_AREA"] call server_deleteObj;
		deleteVehicle _x;
		diag_log format ["CLEAR_AREA: removed vehicle %1 (%2) at position %3", typeOf _x, _objectID, position _x];
	} forEach _vehicles;
} forEach _clearAreas;

this will delete all vehicles near stary, bash and klen trade zone within a 100m radius. with delete i mean from the database and the game, so be careful. I've also added a log statement.

the variable _clearAreas defines the center positions of the areas you want to clean. YES, you can use sensor names from the mission.sqm for my script or just your own position in the format [x,y,z] as always (markers or other objects should also work if you want to use that).

 

my advice to call that script would be on the server in the file "dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf" after the spawn_vehicles loop (around line 292), if you want to remove all vehicles after each server restart.

you can save the file as clear_area.sqf in the dayz_server.pbo and then call it like this:

execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\clear_area.sqf";

Hey im not trying to steal thunder but a better way to go would be to catch it when vehicles spawn in on server start like this in the server_monitor.sqf ~ line 99

{
    if ((_pos distance _x) < 75) then {
        if (_damage > 0.1) then {
            _damage = 1;
            [_idKey,false,"SERVER"] call server_deleteObj;
            diag_log format["DELETING SAFEZONE VEHICLE: %1", [_idKey, _type]];
        };
        _ownerID = "0";
    };
} forEach [zonestary, zonebash, zoneklen];

6bVoj.png

 

It will unlock vehicles that have no damage and delete anything with 0.1 or more damage. Its abit nicer if someone buys a vehicle just before a restart.

 

Once the vehicle is out of the safezone and the server restarts, it will be lockable again.

 

Technically it removes/unlocks ALL object but you cant build in trader cities so...

Yeah use macas script, i just wanted to make it easy to use, so my script can be executed whenever you want not just at server restart..

Anyway weird that it is removing traders lol, i have tested it with land vehicles that worked fine and than just replaced that with AllVehicles,seem like traders count as vehicles and not Man ...

I think the difference is the damage check on Maca's solution.

I just get an error using this;

 

Placing the code like this:

	// # NOW SPAWN OBJECTS #

You are missing '};' at the bottom.
