Heli-Lift and Towing System for Dayz Epoch.

[~R3GR3T~]

Hey guys,

I am running a Dayz server with friends and we are trying to find a heli-lift and towing system that isn't so server hungry, basically we just want it to be as basic as possible but we cannot seem to find anything on the internet. We have looked at the BTC Logistics and R3F systems but we find it is just to much load for what we want. To summarise does anyone have anything we can use on our server that is just basic heli-lift and tow?

Regards ~R3GR3T~

If you read the latest changelogs, Epoch is working on making the Chinook able to lift most vehicles without the need for a mod.

 

If you don't want to wait for that, R3F and BTC are the only towing systems i've heard of.

How exaclty is 122kb (R3F) too much load?

i was gona say R3F aint big and works great

I think he means he wants it to be slimmed down to what he wants it to do E.g. just tow and lift, not necessarily the script size.

Yes TheVampire we are currently using the chinook heli lift built in game but it is restricted with the cars it can lift, is there away around those restrictions and can we add another heli to the lifting system would be a better question because it would eliminate any real need for the towing system if we can lift any car or truck with a chinook or merlin Hc3.

	"CH_47F_EP1_DZE",
	"CH_47F_EP1_DZ",
	"CH_47F_BAF",
	"CH_47F_EP1"
];

DZE_HeliAllowToTow = [
	"hilux1_civil_1_open",
	"HMMWV_Base",
	"Lada_base",

	"SUV_Base_EP1",
	"ArmoredSUV_Base_PMC",
	"UAZ_Base",
	"LandRover_Base",
	"Ship"
];

pretty sure if you add classes here it should work (assuming you spell classnames correctly)

 

but tbh i think you will be better off seting up r3f tow and lift and just disabling this instead ...

Alright thanks mate, I will play with this tonight and tomorrow and see if I can get more cars lift-able and another heli that can lift and let you know how I go :) If I fail with this I will look at R3F again.

Success we got it working :D heli lift so far almost finished tow

Hi Guys

 

I'm fairly new to all this scripting, where do i find this file "variables.sqf"

[Mr.Rodgers]

Hi Guys

 

I'm fairly new to all this scripting, where do i find this file "variables.sqfits 

it is inside your dayz_code.pbo. Go to wherever you have arma 2 OA installed and find epoch then add ons and its in there.

I rent a server with Epoch Chernarus already installed and found the variables file and it has the settings as shown above but i have no option to lift, tried a few of the classes shown in the list but no option?

 

If there another script i could use that and it has to be fairly easy to install?

 

Told you I'm new to this, sorry....

Where do i find variables.sqf?

I looked in @DayZ_Epoch/addons/dayz_code.pbo/compile    and its not in there

Just found it @DayZ_Epoch/addons/dayz_code.pbo//init         It will be in there :)

[ThePotatoeTree]

what about towing from cars?

[MassBoobage]

does this allow lifting of locked vehicles?  I'm looking for a lift script that won't lift locked vehicles if anyone knows?
