How to show marker on map if Radio in magazines. Help

[prosims]

Hello everyone,

 

i am a complete newby and I am trying to make a following script. if player finds a radio, certain markers will appear on the map.

 

Which command shows the markers on the map and how I implement it? 

if ("ItemRadio" in magazines player) then {

here should be a command to show following marker on map

_sectorFOB  = createMarker ["_sectorFOB ", [6611.9756, 14201.991]];
_sectorFOB  setMarkerText "FOB";
_sectorFOB  setMarkerType "mil_objective";
_sectorFOB  setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_sectorFOB  = _sectorFOB ;

} else {
	
};

Thanks for advance for help.

I'm no coding guru, but something like this?

if ("ItemRadio" in _weapons) then {
        hasRadio = true;
    } else { 
    hasRadio = false;
};
if(hasRadio && _canDo) then {
      cutText [format["You've found a radio, check your map for new information!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
     _survbase = createMarker ["survbase", [3907.27,7872.66]];
     _survbase setMarkerText "Survivor City";
     _survbase setMarkerShape "mil_dot";
     _survbase setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
}; 

The problem is, markers are global aren't they? 
So if 1 person finds the radio, everyone will see the marker?

[prosims]

Wow, thanks for the such a quick reply.

 

This is bad that markers are global and everyone will see it.

 

The solution might be to hide the marker after a minute?

 

But in this case we have to make a scroll menu for it or drop down menu, which sounds very complicated for me. But the idea of making custom map events using such script is nice. if anyone could know how to do it would be great.

You can make the markers go away very easily.

 

if ("ItemRadio" in _weapons) then {
        hasRadio = true;
    } else { 
    hasRadio = false;
};
if(hasRadio && _canDo) then {
      cutText [format["You've found a radio, check your map for new information!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
     _survbase = createMarkerLocal ["survbase", [3907.27,7872.66]];
     _survbase setMarkerTextLocal "Survivor City";
     _survbase setMarkerShapeLocal "mil_dot";
     _survbase setMarkerColorLocal "ColorRed";

sleep 15; //15 secs?
    deleteMarker _survbase; //deletes the marker after 15 secs, there is no loop (afaik) so it won't reappear untill another radio has been found.
    player removeWeapon "ItemRadio"; //The "fix" to not make them get infinite markers, deletes the radio after 15 secs?
}; 
 

Don't know if the setMarkerLocal actually works as intended.

Just a slight idea I had though; people can just drop and pick up the radio again to get infinite ammount of missions.

You are my hero! Thank you very much!!! 

 

I will check it tomorrow morning. We can use some other "useless" epoch item instead of radio, like newspaper or book. I am going to make custom traders with rare items and let people find out there they are by finding some item which will show the markers for them for 15 sec.

[Defent]

Sorry, the script I wrote does not work. 
I'm making one right now that uses scroll menu, I will post the basic script here when it's done.

[Defent]

Yes, I'm finally done.
Basicly what this is, it's like the epoch missions but made usable through fn_selfaction and the usage of radios!

Ofcourse this script is not totally 100% done, there can still be some addition that you, yourself might want to add, but here's the basic concept.

 

What does it do?

When someone loots a Radio, they get an option in the scroll wheel menu to "Use Radio", once used the player will perform an animation and a message will appear, telling them to check the map. 
On the map there will be a marker, just like the EMS. At the centre of this marker there is a reward.
To stop constant abuse, the radio will be removed after usage.

 

How do I install?

 

Step 1: Open fn_selfactions.sqf  and add this:

(This requires that you already have the fn_selfaction being locally compiled on the server ofcourse.)

_canDo = (!r_drag_sqf and !r_player_unconscious and !_onLadder);

Add this below that line:

////RADIO TRANS-MISSION get it? it's a pun.
// This part is inpsired by the selfbloodbag by Krixes @ Opendayz and Player 2 @ ZombZ.net
_mradio = (magazines player) + (weapons player); 
if ("ItemRadio" in _mradio) then {
        hasRadio = true;
    } 
	else 
	{ 
		hasRadio = false;
	};
    if((speed player <= 1) && hasRadio && _canDo) then {
        if (s_player_radiomission < 0) then {
            s_player_radiomission = player addaction[("<t color=""#f000ff"">" + ("Use Radio") +"</t>"),"radio\mission\mission.sqf","",5,false,true,"", ""];
        };
    } else {
        player removeAction s_player_radiomission;
       s_player_radiomission = -1;
};
////I'll just show myself out.

Step 2.

Download these files and place them in your missions folder.

 

Create a folder called radio inside that, create another folder called mission

Save these codes as:

 

mission.sqf (fixed)

addmarkerradio.sqf

http://pastebin.com/SHCKLWsN

 

remmarkersradio.sqf

http://pastebin.com/DLmrK1mr

 

In the end, it should look like this:

Why did I make an entire script?

Well, I want to use this aswell! - The radio can be something very rare, a special event type of thing.

Reminder: these vehicles don't save after restart!

[prosims]

Wow, you developed it in a real Radion Mission script. It deserves a separate Release thread. I am sure many people would use it. I will test it asap.

 

Thanks!

[Defent]

Thanks, I hope it works for you. 

I got intrested in your idea and am going to develop my own little event missions, using the radio, might just release it ;)

call RE;  = Kick every time even when added to the BE filters :-s

[Defent]

Do you get a battleye message when getting kicked? 

If so, what does it say?

[sparrow8332]

i removed all filters to test and all works but no vehicle spawns - :-(

[Defent]

Try grabbing the updated files, the one I posted first was broken and vehicles didn't spawn.

Has anyone got this working on the latest updates? I am interested in making heli crashes in my server appear to players who have ItemRadio in their gear. 

 

If not possible then maybe create another mission to run along side the normal one i have on myserver and only show markers to players who have a radio. is this possible?
