What Script kiddies can and cannot do.

[Longs 42]

One thing regarding spawning vehicles that interests me, when a scripter spawns a vehicle does it actually spawn a brand new one from thin air or does it take one that's already on the server somewhere? Or can both be done?

I only ask because quite a few times my group has had vehicles stolen, we've always put it down to people finding our camp and moving them. Only recently the last two times we've had a Ural stolen each time it was way out in the middle of nowhere, well hidden and with no wheels. We found it again sitting in a field completely fixed with the other Ural plus every other vehicle in the game bar the buses and chopper. We steal it back with the other Ural, hide them both in a different place with no wheels again. Log in a few hours later and they are gone again :( the person that logged in to check on them gets teleported to a location where all the vehicles are then killed.

So I would like to know, can scripters teleport your vehicle as well as spawning vehicles?

I believe scripters can do everything, it's just the matter of detection.

Filthy hackers!

They CANNOT go out of their basements.

They can fully repair vehicles at a button. They can tp to them, or them to them. They can spawn in ones also.

Execute script.

Script checks if vehicles are present.

Script gets the current position of said vehicle(s), if any.

Script changes that position to an offset from the player's position.

Or simply create new.

Scripters can do pretty much anything.

They can create anything from ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: OA.

Then can move intractable objects.

They can change objects from one to another (Players models. Remember goats?)

Then can REMOVE models but keep their position. (Invisible hackers and weapons.)

I am sure they can do both. New vehicles of course as we have seen non game vehicles often.

Thanks for clarifying that for me, means that hiding vehicles is totally pointless *sigh*

Players should also be aware if they hop in a spawned vehicle it instantly owns them. I hopped in a hacked tractor and had no idea it was spawned by a player and it attacked me. Reminded me of Christine from Stephen King

Even if you are not a scripter you can easily repair any vehicle without 4 wheels provided you have just a car wheel, and a buddy. Using duplication you can make out 4 car wheels in just 3 minutes of in-game glitch exploit which are not detected whatsoever.
