Is this working on the latest epoch version?  I know the readme says its for 1.0.3.1 and No, I will not be upgrading to the latest Epoch Version. If not its sad to see something so useful fall to the way side

[seelenapparat]

its still working in epoch 1.0.5.1. that's the great thing about this mission system. its independent from the mod version and highly customizable.

happy new year.^

the problem is related to the function, which calls the units and vehicles: bis_fnc_findsafepos. this function is spawning the units in the center of the map, if it cant find a safe position. but I have the feeling, that it sometimes just spawns them in the center, wether it could safely spawn them or not.

I removed that function and spawn the units now like DZMS does.

 

Just working with the example and not NetShark's code, what I see is the default way the example calls the mission. It will find a position for the mission, and then within that it will index the loot location within that. From that loot location, it will spawn the mission itself. My presumption is the intent is to add more randomness to it, and make it more harder to pinpoint the objective from the map.

 

If he didn't account for that when he built his mission, that may explain why they spawned in such a detached manner.

// Random location

_position = [getMarkerPos _spawnMarker,0,_spawnRadius,10,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

_loot_pos = [_position,0,(_markerRadius - 100),10,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

_position is the safe location found by the game

_loot_pos is the location found within the confines of the marker radius (minus 100 as indicated by the code).

 

I'm still figuring this all out myself. I like the bones of it, though I need to learn a lot of stuff just to get it to do what I want it to do. The open layout of things makes this a bit fun. Anyways... take it sleazy.

[seelenapparat]

I use static coords for the positions. then call the bis fnc select random function to choose one of the coords. then spawn the units with my example. (position select 0 + x etc. or lootpos select 0 + x ) works fine.

[NetShark]

Hi, thanks for pointing out all that :)

In my case, I decided to reduce the markerRadius and so far it's been working fine.

 

Another question:

What if I want to spawn a mission on a static location?

What would be the right sintax to modify the line:

_spawnMarker = 'center';

Can I use coordinates there?

Yeah to do static locs just put coords in after _pos = blah blah, then reference that pos in your call.

Hey Thanks, but I didn't get it....

 

you mean I have to set the coords on each variable with _pos, (eg: _loot_pos, _aiunit_spawn_pos, etc) ?

_loot_pos = [_position,0,(_markerRadius - 100),10,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

and, what kind of coords will I use? database coords like or mission.sqm file like?

So, for example: 

Instead of: 

_aiunit1 = [_aiunit_spawn_pos,50,4,"Bandit",_loot_pos,"M2"] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\addons\FMission\AI_BP\AI_Unit_Common.sqf";
sleep .5;

I should use:

_aiunit1 = [[325,[3010.98,11830.5,0.277]],50,4,"Bandit",_loot_pos,"M2"] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\addons\FMission\AI_BP\AI_Unit_Common.sqf";
sleep .5;

or: 

_aiunit1 = [14825.6,110.96082,16547.9,50,4,"Bandit",_loot_pos,"M2"] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\addons\FMission\AI_BP\AI_Unit_Common.sqf";
sleep .5;

Thanks

[seelenapparat]

_position = [x,y,z];

that should be all. now you have 1 static coord for the mission. all other coords like loot pos etc. are related to that coord.

nothing obvious is jumping out, it happens with all example missions I have used that spawn vehicles and heli patrols

 

edit, I noticed your github history, the arrays are named slightly differently.

I too am getting these errors any luck fixing this?

I almost submitted a github push for that, but... eh...

 

it added spaces when I first tried, lets see if editing fixes.

There are included instructions and a tutorial video posted in the original thread. It's pretty straight forward, post if you have issues after reading the instructions and watching the video.

Hi,

Can someone tell me what I have to do, to change the minefield so mines only explode when vehicles drive over them (all vehicles including bike) and not players on foot, cause this anoys alot of my players and I realy would like to change it.

This is an awsome Mission System, much respect to Foamy for his work!

 

Many thx in advance.

[Just_R]

The video, hands down, will explain everything in detail.  

 

The rest is up to you and your creative mind.

Nothing mentioned about the minefield and its configuration in that Video.

[copper]

Nobody have any idea?

[Snakeyes]

Foamy,

 

Thanks for keeping FMission updated and available. I've used it in the past and I'm going to start using it again this weekend to add some fresh missions to my server.

 

:)

[Snakeyes]

Is there a way to add an AT class of AI carrying launchers? I would like to prevent players from rolling up to a stationary mission in a vehicle and chopping it to pieces with a .50 HMG.

[seelenapparat]

in your FLoot -> FLoot_Bandit:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

if (_diceRoll < _lootChance) then

{

    diag_log("FLoot: Extra Loot Chance Success");

    _itemMeds = _itemslistMeds call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

    _unitname addMagazine _itemMeds;

    

    _itemMisc = _itemslistMisc call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

    _unitname addMagazine _itemMisc;

    sleep 1;

    

    _unitname addweapon "RPG7V"; //new

    _unitname addmagazine "PG7V"; //new

    _unitname addmagazine "PG7V"; //new

    rpg = true;//new

}

else

{

diag_log("FLoot: Extra Loot Chance Failed");

sleep 1;

};

 

 

then create a file FAI_Unit_Killed:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

private ["_victim","_killer","_banditKills"];



_victim = _this select 0;

_killer = _this select 1;

_banditKills = _killer getVariable ["banditKills",0];

_killer setVariable ["banditKills",_banditKills + 1,true];



if (rpg) then {

_victim removeWeapon "RPG7V";

_victim removeMagazine "PG7V";

_victim removeMagazine "PG7V";

};

 

 

then in FAI_Create_Unit set the path to the FAI killed sqf:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

// Set AI Variables    

    _aiunit enableAI "TARGET";

    _aiunit enableAI "AUTOTARGET";

    _aiunit enableAI "MOVE";

    _aiunit allowDammage true;

    _aiunit setCombatMode "RED";

    _aiunit setBehaviour "COMBAT";

    _aiunit addEventHandler ["killed",{_this ExecVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\addons\FMission\FAI\FAI_Unit_Killed.sqf"}];//new

[Snakeyes]

Excellent! Thank you for that code seelenapparat.

 

:)

[FoamysWorld]

See, this is exactly what I was hoping for when I did this. Seeing you guys work together to make it better. LOVE IT!

 

I wish I had time to devote to FMission since my coding skills have increased dramatically (about 3000 hours) since I wrote this system and I could make it super wicked now but alas I am committed to my new projects for Arma 3 and need to finish those before doing anything else. Perhaps once I get those up and running I can come back to FMission and make it the best missions system for epoch hands down.

 

I am re-doing my master dev server next week so maybe I will setup an A2 Dev environment and finish up the last of those other missions I did.

 

For those interested in my other projects here is a bit of info.

 

CQ - ETA Summer 2015

"Closed Quarters" is a Team DM platform for Arma 3 that will be a fast paced COD style of game play with kill streaks, perks, levels, achievements etc etc. We are going all out on this with great visuals, sounds and level design. There is nothing like this out there for Arma. 

 

We changed forums and services for our new games so here is the new link to the main community.

[seelenapparat]

hey FoamysWorld, just wanted to say thank you for this awesome mission system. It might not be DZMS or WAI, but I love the 

fact, that it is so small yet so customizable.

made some kool mission with it like convoy, base defence, secret cave mission and kill a certain target etc.

 

I think it is good as it is. its a base where admin can start doing their own thing with.

maybe only the killcounter for npc could be implemented and rpgs as a choice.

but thats it I think.
