[Request] Manual execution of Epoch Events [Solved]

[Sandbird]

To allow admins to manually start events. Something like this:

Spawning event:

server_adminspawnEvent = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_adminspawnEvent.sqf';
['mycustomEvent'] spawn server_adminspawnEvent;

server_adminspawnEvent.sqf

private ["_date","_key","_result","_outcome","_handle","_datestr","_event"];
diag_log("MANUAL EPOCH EVENT INIT");
_event = _this select 0;

while {true} do {
	_key = "CHILD:307:";
	_result = _key call server_hiveReadWrite;
	_outcome = _result select 0;
	if(_outcome == "PASS") then {
		_date = _result select 1;
		_datestr  = str(_date);
		diag_log ("RUNNING EVENT: " + (_event) + " on " + _datestr);
		_handle = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\modules\" + (_event) + ".sqf";
	};
	sleep 10;
};

If its not too much to ask....

Ye that would be cool.. I have kind of coded it together myself with Infistars tools but it would be a thing that should be in by default

How did you manage to execute the script in infistar ?

I was trying to do it with my code above but the script is in the dayz_server.pbo while infistar executes commands on client.

I always get script not found.

Thats the only way to do it...with publicvariableserver command....but no simple example out there to do just that....execute a script on the server.

foamysworld made something like this quite a while ago, idk why you arent just using that

[Sandbird]

proof or it doesnt exist :D lol

Cant find it...what do you mean ?

If you mean this: then you need to read the 1st post again.

 

Events cannot be manually executed from the Client cause the file is in the dayz_server and the spawn script doesnt take any parameters the way it is.

We have to use publicvariableserver tricks to make it work....so why go through all this trouble...when the script could be manipulated to accept parameters OR just add a new spawn event script instead.

I had some clarity of thought today :P  and made this:

 

Case closed.

Sry for the late answer but yes that is what i did too :P created a new menu and used the public variables of the Antihack itself..or for those who own the extended tools it is even easier, as simple as just running it
