That's the one

Good job Wolffy !

[Wolffy.au]

Well, quick update - 402 downloads so far, so really happy with that.

Just a reminder to everyone, if you'd like to vote for features, or even request a few of your own, please do so at:

[Mr. Charles]

I think he meant like a really crowded city, not the usual "oh look there is a car"

Isn't this possible with some variable?

[Wolffy.au]

At the moment, its set to 3 cars. I could make that a variable - if this is what you guys are referring too, then log a Feature Request for me please.

I can tell you now, all that happens is a massive traffic jam, with no cars moving - but hey, that might be what you guys are after!

Wolffy,

Great script tested it yesterday and works great really nice to see cars driving about!

I would like to add a request please , at the moment I have a car bomb script that I use in the SILVIE module, which works great , especially when they drive the car alas which is not very often !

So my request would-be - would it be possible to add this feature into your Traffic ? i.e a random % of traffic would be driving car bombs ?

This is what I am using

_object = _this select 0;
_value = random 100;

if (_value < 15) then {
_blowup = false;
while {alive _object} do
    {
    // include vehicles
        _targetArray = nearestObjects [(getPos _object), ["MAN", "LandVehicle"], 10];
        if ((count _targetArray) > 0) then
        {
            {
                if (str(side _x) == "WEST") then
                {
                _blowup = true;
                };
            } forEach _targetArray;
        };
        if (_blowup) then
        {
	   //HINT "DIE YOU BRITISH INFIDEL SCUM.....";  // just for trigger area
	  if (isServer) then
{
   [nil, nil, rHINT, "DIE YOU INFIDEL SCUM....."] call RE;  // for all
};  
	 sleep 6;
        _boom = "R_57mm_HE" createVehicle (position _object);
        }
        else
        {
        sleep 6;        // change to tweak wait time before checks
        };
    };
};

Also whilst writing is there a way to reduce the number of cars SILVIE uses as there are far too many !

Cheers

To solve your two problems/requests, I suggest looking at:
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/A...ilian_Vehicles


There is a file in the demo called init-silvie.sqf which you can edit. Take a look at it to understand how to implement these parameters.

The two parameters you are after are:

• vehicleInit = <code>; - custom init which is executed on every car. Vehicle can be accessed using _this variable. Init is executed as separate script, so sleep or waituntil commands can be used without limitations.

Example: BIS_silvie_mainscope setvariable ["vehicleInit",{_this lock true}];

and

• vehicleCount = <string>; - formula on which basis system calculates number of vehicles for location. %1 is number of buildings (blacklisted objects are excluded) in 500 metres from location.

Example: BIS_silvie_mainscope setvariable ["vehicleCount","round (%1 / 10)"]; Default value (and recommended): "round ((sqrt %1) * 1.5)"

FYI - zGuba has asked to add some of his changes in this ticket, http://dev-heaven.net/issues/18339

Been messing around with this for a few days now and absolutely love it. I've always used these modules in my missions.

I haven't had any problems, but if I do or have a suggestion I'll head over to dev-heaven.

Thanks again!

Second Release - MIP20110331.ZIP
http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mip/files

Module Improvements

New improvments to the modules are:

• Garbage Collector
  
  • Added dedicated server support to Garbage Collector
  • Added optional auto scavenger every 5 minutes using:
    

    BIS_GC setVariable ["auto",true];

Installation Instructions
If a mission maker wishes to use this replacement code, here are the instructions.

• Simply copy the CA directory into your mission folder to over-ride the default BIS modules.
• Place a BIS Garbage Collector module in the mission editor and add the following to your Garbage Collector module INIT to auto scavenge for dead bodies and destroyed vehicles every 5 minutes.
  

  BIS_GC setVariable ["auto",true];

Congratulations on the release Wolffy.

Good to see you're making progress.

Which module is next?

Loving this, thank you for your hard work wolffy.
