Editing, Expanding and Modifying Domination

[Noricum]

ran into the same issue once, did a workaround for it;

place a trigger somewhere (axis 0).
activation: none - repeatedly - present

condition:
vehicle player isKindOf "plane" && typeOf player != "US_Soldier_Pilot_EP1";

activation:

if (player == driver vehicle player) then {player action ["eject",vehicle player]; player groupChat "Class restriction: Pilots only"};

note that this works in this case only for planes. change "plane" to "air" if you want to make the restriction for other air classes too. Not sure, but i guess, the parachute is affected too then :P

have you defined ace in x_setup.sqf?

#define __ACE__

[Diesel Tech JC]

I just tried what you mentioned and still doesnt have the ACE stuff in it..I did however notice something...as I mentioned above I used Eliteness to unpbo tho mission from the 2.60 anniversery pack from DevHeaven....the mission sqm is all garbled so i used the sqm from the dom maker and renamed it (wich is what I did with takistan and worked fine) but I think the versions are different...the dom maker version is 2.12

"briefingName="co@40 DomiA2! ACE West [2.12]";

wich is mission_west_ace.sqm

But I am trying to Edit the 2.6 version...
So I really need the 2.6 version sqm I think...wich when i unpbo isnt readable..if thats the case...is their anyplace to get the 2.6 version sqm?

[Noricum]

open the mission.sqm with eliteness, copy all the lines, make yourself a mission.sqm and insert the copied files there. replace the dom mission.sqm with your new one, finito

Thanks for the reply...I'll give that a try...also when I enable _ACE_ should i do that on every set up.sqf or just the one inside the main folder..Thanks again!

run setupcopy.bat from the mission folder. That will copy setup.sqf (and macros.sqf) to everywhere that needs it.

But to go ferther : in the RespawnGroups.fsm

before changing and testing we think it could be in the Class Loop2 that the delay between each Respawn Groups could be : so we could change _timenow = time +3.11 to time + 300.

class Loop2

But all this is on a loop to check the condition on a counter.

And the condition counter will respawn new reinforcements group if counter = 0 (all AI kill in the previous respawngroup).
It is at this point that we would like to put a delay around 300 sec.

So after several test in Mp on our R3F_server we have create a random to set the ground reinforcement.

In fsms/RespawnGroups.fsm
between line 88 and 106

if ((count playableUnits) < 13) then {" \n
" _tempo = 1500;" \n
" } else {" \n
" _tempo = 900;" \n
" };" \n
"" \n
" _timenow = time + (_tempo + (random _tempo));" \n

      "if (typeName _onegrpar == ""ARRAY"") then {" \n
       "	_grp = _onegrpar select 0;" \n
       "	if ((isNull _grp || (_grp call d_fnc_GetAliveUnitsGrp) == 0) && (time > (_grp getVariable ""X_CREATED""))) then {" \n
       "		_mg_array = _onegrpar select 1;" \n
       "		_resp_mid = _mg_array select 10;" \n
       "		_rpos = [_resp_mid select 0, 600, 400, _resp_mid select 1] call d_fnc_GetRanPointSquare;" \n
       "		_mg_array set [1, [_rpos]];" \n
       "		d_respawn_ai_groups set [_counter, -1];" \n
       "		_mg_array spawn d_fnc_makegroup;" \n
       "		if ((count playableUnits) < 13) then {" \n
	  "			_tempo = 1500;" \n
	  "		} else {" \n
	  "			_tempo = 900;" \n
	  "		};" \n
       "" \n
       "		_timenow = time + (_tempo + (random _tempo));" \n
       "	};" \n

this changes makes reinforcement no more often than every 1500 to 2400sec if less than 13 players
and 900 to 1800 sec if more than 13 players.

It is efficient.

wow, thanks a lot for sharing!
Tried something too, but i have no plan of fsm.

Ahm, can please post the whole class loop2 code, from beginning to the end, i somehow get critical errors/crashes when i copy and paste the lines above.

Got most everything working now..just a few small issues I cant figure out..
1) Added 2 choppers but cant get them to be lift choppers.
2)some choppers/planes I add have AI in them....how do I take all of the AI out?
3)I want this set up for a small 8 person server to do the side missions only..is their anyway to limit the positions availible to Squad Leader,Pilot,Artillary,Rifleman etc etc? so their isnt a huge list to choose from..just 8 player slots? Thanks again for all of the help..learning more stuff all the time!
