You should read comments in the thread. There are multiple sources to download from now

Look up a few posts.

[Bloodline-Clan]

Tryed it on my server did all the stuff i was told to and it hangs as the server booting up at wait for host

[fr1nk]

Check your server log for errors, it should tell you exactly what the problem is.

[Bloodline-Clan]

o well tryed <,< lol

[Bloodline-Clan]

there was none just seems as if its out of date

[Triksterism]

I have this working on my server but for some reason, over time, the snapped objects will malign ever so slightly.

class SnapPoints
{



class MetalFloor_DZ {
sn>
 5:56:37   Error position: <SnapPoints
{



class MetalFloor_DZ {

[THEbookie]

has anyone merged this player_build.sqf with the one you use for [CPC] Indestructible Bases? could you share if you did?

[OtterNas3]

Dropbox account got hacked, sorry guys, i finally put it all together again from my Serverfiles, was a bit tuff cause this is running on my HeadlessClient now.

 

Reupped the file in first Post!

 

And for the [CPC] Indestructable Bases:

 

When it tells you this in the instructions:

// Start Build
_tmpbuilt = createVehicle [_classname, _location, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
// ### [CPC] Indestructible Base Fix
_tmpbuilt addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];
_tmpbuilt enableSimulation false;
// ### [CPC] Indestructible Base Fix

replace the _tmpbuilt with _object so it looks like this:

// Start Build
_object = createVehicle [_classname, _location, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
// ### [CPC] Indestructible Base Fix
_object addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];
_object enableSimulation false;
// ### [CPC] Indestructible Base Fix

For the fine fixes mentioned in this Post from RimBlock:

 

Just debugging another script and I keep getting a couple of errors error coming up relating to the snapto release.  I have debugged them and worked out fixes that appear to be working now.

 

Error

 

player_buildControls.sqf -> line 85 -> _isAllowedUnderGround undefined.

 

Reason

 

_isAllowedUnderGround is not passed to the player_buildControls script and is not defined in the player_buildControls script.

 

Solution

 

• Open custom\snap_build\player_build.sqf
• find

_key_monitor = [] spawn player_buildControls ;

• Change to 

_key_monitor = [_isAllowedUnderGround] spawn player_buildControls ;

• save

 

• Open custom\snap_build\player_buildControls.sqf
• find 

private ["_zheightchanged", "_zheightdirection", "_rotate"];
diag_log "build controls";

• Change to 

private ["_zheightchanged", "_zheightdirection", "_rotate", "_isAllowedUnderGround"];
diag_log "build controls";

_isAllowedUnderGround = _this select 0;

• Save

 

What the change does

 

The _isAllowedUnderGround variable is defined and populated in the palyer_build.sqf script.  This then passes it to the player_buildControls.sqf script as a parameter.

 

Tested: Yes - Light testing.

Result: No issues with fix found.

 

---------------------------

 

Error 2

 

player_build.sqf -> line 288 -> s_building_snapping undefined.

 

Reason

 

This occurs when a non snapable item is placed.  Adding the snap mouse wheel menu item occurs only if the item being placed is snapable.  

 

Removing the menu item occurs at the end of the code even if the menu item was never added as the item being places was not snapable, hence the error message.  

 

Solution

 

• Open custom\snap_build\player_build.sqf
• Find 

player removeAction s_building_snapping;

• Change to   

if (isClass (missionConfigFile >> "SnapPoints" >> _classname)) then {
player removeAction s_building_snapping; // Only remove the snap menu item if the item is snapable.
};

 

What the change does

 

The added if statement uses the same check to see if the item being placed is snapable before trying to remove the snap option form the mouse wheel menu.

 

Tested: Yes - Light testing.

Result: No issues with fix found.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

 

RB

 

for the s_building_snapping remove thing.

If you think this will bug when try to remove it when not defined, you should have a look in the epoch fn_selfActions!

There are a bunch of entrys that gets removed every second when no valid cursortarget is near the player ^^

 

Nevermind its not bad to do it, just not needed ^^

 

I think you debugging on the new Arma2 beta patch?

It shows errors all the way for undefined variables ^^

 

 

For the _isAllowedUnderGround not defined thats correct one i updated the file in the downloadfile alrdy.

Never had a look at this cause i never used that function anyway, many Buildings on my Server needs to be able been build more then 2m under the ground, disabled that on my server.

So i never noticed.

Thanks for the hint!

 

Files updated in first post!

 

 

Moo,

Otter

[Deridder45]

I cant seem to snap objects on top of eachother while the base is over water. Everything else works on water and snapping objects on top of eachother will work on land.

Is there anyway i can fix this problem?

 

-Thanks

[BetterDeadThanZed]

The player_build.sqf was updated with 1.0.5. Any chance of a version that will support 1.0.5?

[Flosstradamus]

Yeah snap building is broken 100% with this update unfortunately :(

[LunchboxCharlie]

Yeah snap building is broken 100% with this update unfortunately :(

 

Yeah, player_build was changed in 1.0.5, so it has to be updated. 

[Coffee]

Working for me ok on 1.0.5 and i have not changed any files in snapping just installed it straight into 1.0.5 and away it went ;)

[LunchboxCharlie]

Working for me ok on 1.0.5 and i have not changed any files in snapping just installed it straight into 1.0.5 and away it went ;)

 

I'm getting snapping not available for this object. 

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Working for me ok on 1.0.5 and i have not changed any files in snapping just installed it straight into 1.0.5 and away it went ;)

 

Since player_build.sqf changed with 1.0.5, it shouldn't be working.

[LunchboxCharlie]

Since player_build.sqf changed with 1.0.5, it shouldn't be working.

 

I was a dummy and not putting the stuff at the bottom of desc.ext. It's working for me, however, it still needs to be updated, haha, since they did indeed change it. 

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I just tried again and I'm not getting the option to snap anything. 

[RimBlock]

My understanding is that OtterNas is busy with 'real life' this week but should be back in the land of Epoch next week sometime.

 

I would expect some feedback from him at that point.

 

I have not looked at the new code yet but will be concentrating on my own Plat for Life mod first if any problems pop up with that and then can maybe offer some suggestions.  Unlikely to be before the weekend though.

Thanks for this i'll update mine...

Hello, just a quick mention. If you followed the original guide to the letter, your scripts will be in: custom\snap_build\

Assuming you copy and pasted Cen's fixed player_build.sqf the path in the fixed player_build.sqf will need to be corrected as Cen has his scripts in another directory.

Look for line line 226 in Cen's player_build.sqf

It will read:

s_building_snapping = player addAction ["Toggle Snapping", "scripts\snapping\player_toggleSnapping.sqf",_classname, 3, true, false, "",""];

As you can see the path is scripts\snapping\ and this is where Cen has his scripts. But the original post/author's instructions point to custom\snap_build.

All you need to do is change the above line to the following:

s_building_snapping = player addAction ["Toggle Snapping", "custom\snap_build\player_toggleSnapping.sqf",_classname, 3, true, false, "",""];

Have a nice day!
