Scripting

[Gizda 3]

maybe someone knows the script to create a safe zone like in arma 3?

[ulli_123 2]

is there not the command nodamage in the engine?

@smasht simple safezones are possible, however without fancy texts & stuff

It is possible by getting the players position, checking if the player is within your safezone and disabling/enabling their damageable state in OnTick, dunno how this will impact performance.

Example

player.SetAllowDamage(true/false); // Activate/deactive damage

player.GetPosition(); // Player position (X,Y,[Z]) ||

// Checking if x, y coords in square || Replace this with dynamic version for best practice reasons
bool IsInSafezone(float x, float y) {
	float min_x = 0.0, max_x = 0.0, min_y = 0.0, max_y = 0.0; // Replace this with actual coordinates
	if(x > min_x && x < max_x && y > min_y && y < max_y) return true;
    return false;
}

Could you elaborate a little, which file should I add this too as I Am willing to test it out been waiting for safezones for 5years

[philippj 103]

I wont provide a full code solution because i dont want to spread untested code.

I have not looked into the exact result of GetPosition thus the code needs to be changed accordingly . Also you have to define your safezone coordinates.

Possible solution (if the GetPosition thingy is adjusted):

init.c (Add to "CustomMission" (if default) or your adaption of "MissionServer")

bool IsInSafezone(float x, float y) {
	float min_x = 0.0, max_x = 0.0, min_y = 0.0, max_y = 0.0; // Replace this with actual coordinates
	if(x > min_x && x < max_x && y > min_y && y < max_y) return true;
    return false;
}

override void OnUpdate(float timeslice)
	{
		UpdateDummyScheduler();
		TickScheduler(timeslice);
		UpdateLogoutPlayers();	
		ref array<Man> players = new array<Man>;
		GetGame().GetPlayers( players );
			
		for ( int i = 0; i < players.Count(); i++ )
		{
			PlayerBase player;
			Class.CastTo(player, players.Get(i));
            float x, y, z = player.GetPosition(); // NOT WORKING
			if(IsInSafezone(x, y) {
                  player.SetAllowDamage(false);                           
            } else {
                  player.SetAllowDamage(true);                          
            }
		}
	}

To follow this up: Radial zones

bool IsInRadialZone(float x, float y, float center_x, float center_y, float radius) {
    // keep distance squared because squaring is cheaper then sqrt
	float distance_squared = Math.Pow(center_x-x, 2) + Math.Pow(center_y-y, 2);
	return (distance_squared < Math.Pow(radius, 2));
}

 

Also GetPosition returns a vector so 

vector pos = player.GetPosition();
float x = pos[0];
float y = pos[1];

should do the trick

Many thanks for the response and help! I have not quite figured out how to use this script for the test. If possible, explain in more detail where to insert this code.

when you turn on the debugging monitor, it monitors your position in real time, maybe this is something you can use for code?

Place this inside "CustomMission", change your safezone coordinates and you have a rudimentary safezone. It really isnt great but it works.

    bool IsInRadialZone(float x, float y, float center_x, float center_y, float radius) {
        // keep distance squared because squaring is cheaper then sqrt
        float distance_squared = Math.Pow(center_x-x, 2) + Math.Pow(center_y-y, 2);
        return (distance_squared < Math.Pow(radius, 2));
    }
    
    override void OnUpdate(float timeslice)
    {
        UpdateDummyScheduler();
        TickScheduler(timeslice);
        UpdateLogoutPlayers();    
        ref array<Man> players = new array<Man>;
        GetGame().GetPlayers( players );
            
        float safezone_center_x = 0.0;
        float safezone_center_y = 0.0;
        float safezone_radius = 0.0;
          
        for ( int i = 0; i < players.Count(); i++ )
        {
            
            PlayerBase player;
            Class.CastTo(player, players.Get(i));
            vector pos = player.GetPosition();
            if(IsInRadialZone(pos[0], pos[2], safezone_center_x, safezone_center_y, safezone_radius)) {
                player.SetAllowDamage( false );
            } else { player.SetAllowDamage( true ); }
        }
    }

Very cool! Soon check and write down how it works! one question: "float safezone_radius = 0.0;" value in meters from the center?

I tried variants of changing coordinates in-game and from the map, but it does not work.

shame

Why post here when you have an entire section for modding oO ? https://forums.dayz.com/forum/153-dayz-modding/

player.SetAllowDamage( false );

simply does not work atm ;)
