Write objects to object_data in database

So, I made some updates to what is craftable on my server. They craft fine but I cannot figure out how to get them to write to the database so they persist through a restart. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried:

_object = "Land_Ind_TankSmall2" createVehicle (position player);
_object setVariable ["ObjectID", "1", true];
_object setVariable ["ObjectUID", "1", true];
_object attachto [player,[0.0,3.0,1.5]];
detach _object;
_object setVariable ["characterID",dayz_characterID,true];
dayzPublishObj = [dayz_characterID,_object,[_dir,_location],_classname];

However, this does not create a new item in the object_data table
 
If you are using Epoch, the line you are looking for is this:
Code: 
PVDZE_obj_Publish = [_combination,_tmpbuilt,[_dir,_location],_classname];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_obj_Publish";

_combination is the combo of the item. If it is not a combination item this is 0.
_tmpbuilt references the createVehicle of the item.
_dir is the degree out of 360 it is facing.
_location is a worldspace.
_classname is the classname of the building.

Click to expand...

so... this should work then?

Code: 
// Send to database
_dir = getDir _object;
_pos = getPos _object;
PVDZE_obj_Publish = [0,_object,[_dir,_location],"Land_Ind_TankSmall2"];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_obj_Publish";
 
That should work.

You should take a look through player_build.sqf though. If you implemented the object to use the Epoch building system that already exists, I think you would like the overall result better.
 
So, i have this and now it creates but dissapears as soon as it is created. Nothing showing in the RPT when this occurs

Code: 
  _object = "Land_Ind_TankSmall2" createVehicle (position player);
   _object setVariable ["ObjectID", "1", true];
   _object setVariable ["ObjectUID", "1", true];   
   _object attachto [player,[0.0,3.0,1.5]];
   _object setVariable ["characterID",dayz_characterID,true];
   sleep 3;
   detach _object;
   player reveal _object;
   _vehicleType = typeOf _object;
// Send to database
_dir = getDir _object;
_pos = getPos _object;
PVDZE_obj_Publish = [0,_object,[_dir,_location],"Land_Ind_TankSmall2"];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_obj_Publish";
 
Looking through player_build.sqf im not sure how I would use that to add new buildables... i found a way to call scripts from right click menus of items and got excited that I could create new buildables that way just getting them to write to the database and not dissapear is a nightmare so far
 
are they not one in the same? getPos returns a worldspace coordinate that is needed for location right?

EDIT: just relized i left it as _pos= and then referenced it as _location.... lmao wow.
EDIT: It still does not create. dissapears as soon as created. is there a variable you have to give it so it will actually create? like _object setvariable(something, true);?

You are awesome man. Thanks for the help and bearing with my noobness lol

It might be being cleaned up right after it's built as the cleanup checks for "safe" buildables.

I think you may need to have a custom copy of variables.sqf and add your classname to the dayz_allowedObjects array in it.
 
Yeah I did that a couple hours ago and it is staying but I am still not seeing it in the database... I'm sure its something stupid that I am just not seeing but here is my current fuel tank build code...
Code: 
_scrapQTY={_x == "ItemCorrugated"} count magazines player;
_panelQTY={_x == "ItemPole"} count magazines player;
_barrelQTY={_x == "ItemFuelBarrel"} count magazines player;
_scrapRQD=1;
_panelRQD=2;
_barrellRQD=5;
if (_scrapQTY <_scrapRQD) exitWith{cutText [format["You need 4 Corrugated Fencing to build a Fuel Tank."], "PLAIN DOWN"];};
if (_panelQTY <_panelRQD) exitWith{cutText [format["You need 2 Metal Poles to build a Fuel Tank."], "PLAIN DOWN"];};
if (_barrelQTY <_barrellRQD) exitWith{cutText [format["You need 5 Fuel Barrels to build a Fuel Tank."], "PLAIN DOWN"];};
if (dayz_combat == 1) then {
  cutText [format["You are in Combat and cannot build a Fuel Tank."], "PLAIN DOWN"];
} else {
   player playActionNow "Medic";
   r_interrupt = false;
   _dis=10;
   _sfx = "repair";
   [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
   [player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;
 
   sleep 6;
   for "_x" from 1 to _scrapRQD do {
 
  if (_x < _scrapRQD) then {
  player removeMagazine "ItemCorrugated";
  };
  };
   for "_x" from 1 to _barrellRQD do {
  if (_x < _barrellRQD) then {
  player removeMagazine "ItemFuelBarrel";
  };
  };
   for "_x" from 1 to _panelRQD do {
  if (_x < _panelRQD) then {
  player removeMagazine "ItemPole";
  };
  };
   
   _object = "Land_Ind_TankSmall2" createVehicle (position player);
   _object setVariable ["ObjectID", "1", true];
   _object setVariable ["ObjectUID", "1", true]; 
   _object attachto [player,[0.0,3.0,1.5]];
   sleep 3;
   detach _object;
   player reveal _object;
   _object setVariable ["characterID",0,true];
// Send to database
_dir = round(direction _object);
_location = getPosATL _object;
PVDZE_obj_Publish = [0,_object,[_dir,_location ],"Land_Ind_TankSmall2"];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_obj_Publish";

   cutText [format["You've crafted a Fuel Tank."], "PLAIN DOWN"];
 
   r_interrupt = false;
   player switchMove "";
   player playActionNow "stop";
 
   sleep 10;
};
EDIT: Nevermind this code works. will create a fuel tank and place in database. Many thanks for all the help! Will be adding further buildables in the future to my server.
