MCC Sandbox - The Mod

[GakunGak]

You only need to do that once - it's to prevent spam bots from registering and posting. Now you have done it, you won't need to again!

You are correct, thanks, I am new to using this forum but read it a lot, also armaholic
From what I see, ArmA community and SubSim are the most dedicated ones with great fanbase

Have anyone got sandbox + lostkeys to work by editing the config.cpp in lostkeys as written earlier. I get some error about stringtable.csv upon startup.

[sunrrrise]

Ok, I'm asking in other way.

Is it possible to use MCC Triggers with MCC Zones, eg creating Triggers that create (or move) Zones?

I did. If you want me, I can send you Loki via file sharing site tonight if you want...
I used this tool to extract all files,
edit the file, and pack it again in pbo format....

Damn tried 3 times using same pboview and got and error every time i started game.

Edit: got it now thx

Damn tried 3 times using same pboview and got and error every time i started game - if you will send me your
edited loki_lost_key.pbo it would be great

I will, in 10 hours from now because I am at work now. Until then, try again one more time like this:
1: Delete everything inside @lokilostkey [or whatever you named your folder].
2: Download latest one from armaholic
3: extract pbo with pboview
4: delete pbo
5: edit file in notepad
6: repack into pbo again
7: Disable all other mods except CBA, Loki and MCC
8: try it in single player
If it works, enable other mods one by one to see if other
are interfering. If they are, disable that mod when you want
to use this combo. Otherwize, MCC works all the time with any
mod combination.

Yes it is, keep in mind that the trigger doesn't remember the previous location of the zone so if you make a trigger that should spawn a unit in a specific zone and then move it what will actually happened
Is that the unit will spawn in the new zone location; the reason is that you can't put sleep command in compiled strings.
What I'll do is pre-spaw the units and only make the trigger move the zone once the criteria has been filled.
About you previous post, did you made the trigger conditions as when "side" present?

MCC + LOKI LK. Thanks to Jedra I fixed it among some other stuff, I was just to lazy to push it.
I'll probably do it this weekend.

Cheers.

I still haven't got it working. Triggers and zones cause errors:

This is what I have done:

1. I created Zone 1
2. I set the trigger
3. I moved Zone 1
4. I stopped trigger capturing
5. I moved across the trigger
6. Error:

Any help?

I'm using ArmA2 1.60, ACE 1.13 (stable) and ACRE.

EDIT:

Damn, MCC-Mission Version works like a charm but it doesn't solve the problem with mod version.

EDIT2:

Look at this:

1.: script_handler = [0] execVM '\mcc_sandbox_mod\mcc\general_scripts\mcc_make_the_ marker.sqf';
2.: script_handler = [3] execVM "mcc\general_scripts\mcc_make_the_marker.sqf";

EDIT3:

@shay_gman - check your PM

I have found a bug in file mcc_make_the_marker.sqf. It should look like this:

_type = _this select 0;

//safe the zone size in the array for later use

@sunrrrise - it might be more helpful to gman if you highlight where the eronous code was rather than just post the full fix. I'm a support dev by trade and I know I would prefer it that way!
