making new Buildable items?

[Redemption]

For some time now I have been interested in having a few items build able for players in the same way that that a fuel pump, or cinder block wall can be built via a little crate.

Its not something I have seen implemented before such as a well that can be placed by the player, and I have not been a server owner for long enough, or scripting for long enough to know where to start.

Anyway I was hoping someone might be able to give me a crash course on how to do that.

I doubt anyone could give you a crash course on how to do this since this is quite advanced you could learn about arma scripting here this is where I first got started http://opendayz.net/threads/resources-introduction-to-scripting.11313/ or you could modify this script to your liking http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php...ble-db-saving-plot-vehiclesbuildings-packing/.

Thank you, Ill give them a looksee. When I have one of those deploy, for example a well, will it persist through restarts since its part of the 'buildings' section of the itemlist?

Yeah go started them scammed my by advertising your services ....fully knowing you had no clue...where is my refund.......

ummmm...... I am not sure where to start. The above post was my first so it cant be me your talking to... also what?

roachyuk has a issue with alexlawson and is spamming people posts with his childish crap

now onto the actual help

epoch has the exact feature your looking to implement, you can build items from a small crate, id start with what alex suggested and then take a look at how epoch has done it

Ok cool, now what are the limitations there? Would an item such as
Land_Barrel_water which normally does not persist through restarts (when admin spawned) then persist through restarts? If not is there a way to make it do so?

With that script I think there is an option to make it save to database.

I was just looking through the bike code you linked (actually the same bike deploy I use on my server)

Wow what a lot of code to wade through for such a simple thing. is there any addon scripts out there that you know of that might be skinned already for this kind of task without any major editing?

Well I wouldn't say what you are asking for is such a simple thing if you used the building system that is built into epoch it might be more simple but no matter how you do it its not going to be simple task may I ask do you have any prior experience or are you new to arma scripting just this is quite advanced.

New to Arma scripting, but not new to scripting, and a lot of my scripting experience is seriously out of date. Basically I understand code enough that I can alter scripts to some degree and I understand some of the principals at play in that script but there is a fair bit of it there and it makes me go goggle eyed to look at (been at this server customizing for about a week now)
