Animated Helicrashs 0.1 - Release

ShootingBlanks · Oct 18, 2014

before we make any changes, try this out and see if this helps. In your file posted above. On line 70, change
_lootTable = ["Military","HeliCrash","MilitarySpecial"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
to
_lootTable = "MilitarySpecial";
and see if that works out. There is no "helicrash" loot table anymore, so that might be causeing some issues. By setting the loottable to a single table that we know does exist we will see if it gets fixed.

What I have in my spawncrash script is this which you can try instead. Goes in the same place, line 70 to replace the selectrandom loottable line.

Code:

    //selecting loottable
    if (_crashModel == "UH1Wreck_DZ
") then {
        _lootTable = "HeliCrashWEST";
    } else {
        _lootTable = "HeliCrashEAST";
    };

If this doesnt work then what we do is create a loot table directly in that file

which, I will insert into your sqf file and upload it if you need it.

Gave this a shot but still looks like I'm getting the same errors.
EDIT: I didnt try the second section:

Code:

    //selecting loottable
    if (_crashModel == "UH1Wreck_DZ
") then {
        _lootTable = "HeliCrashWEST";
    } else {
        _lootTable = "HeliCrashEAST";
    };

No worries. I can certainly relate my friend!

i am at work right now but when i get home i can upload a version i had that didnt use the loot tables, rather it had an array of loot in the file itself and chose randomly.

that rpt looks like you edited the loot tables and have an error there? or the loot system might have changed drastically also with this update?
those _weights errors are rather common with this script.

perhaps this error is causing all the problems tho, iclass is something outside the standard script

Code:

9:40:51   Error position: <_iClass) do {
case "weapon": {

_item = >
9:40:51   Error Undefined variable in expression: _iclass

taikonaut · Dec 19, 2014

Hm, I don´t think the loottables have changed, as the original crashspawner from 1.8.3 uses the same tables... right now, I´m trying to merge the new static spawner and the animated.

Please upload your script, that would phan-tas-tique.

ShootingBlanks · Dec 19, 2014

This should work for epoch. It has an array at the bottom where you can add loot items. There was a version that included chances for items, but if you want one item to be more likely to show up, then put it in the array multiple times (I prefer this because you get a visual clue immediately of how likely an item is to be spawned). That is what the weighted array functions for loot does anyways.
Like this

Code:

//EXAMPLE WEIGHTED ARRAY
["ak47"],["ak47"],["ak47"],["ak47"],["ak47"],
["m16a2"],["m16a2"],["m16a2"],
["m107"]

Code:

Thanks, I´ll check it out!

taikonaut · Dec 19, 2014

No joy. Spams my RPT with errors.

ShootingBlanks · Dec 19, 2014

otay, let me load it into the server and see ..

ShootingBlanks · Dec 19, 2014

well my mistake. I see you said you were looking for 1.8.3 ... I passed you the epoch spawncrashsite ... brain fart..

taikonaut · Dec 19, 2014

No problem! I think I´ve fixed it. Testing right now.

ShootingBlanks · Dec 19, 2014

Try editing your original file .. this just removes the reliance on loottables which seems to be a problem with the spawncrashes .. I think because the names of the loottables have changed from helicrash to helicrashwest and helicrasheast .. or something like that ...
Find this code

Code:

  for "_x" from ((round(random _randomizedLoot)) + _guaranteedLoot) to 1 step -1  do {
                //create loot
                _itemTypes = [] + getArray (configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable >> "lootType");
                _CBLBase = dayz_CBLBase find _lootTable;
                _weights = dayz_CBLChances select _CBLBase;
                _cntWeights = count _weights;
                _index1 = floor(random _cntWeights);
                _index2 = _weights select _index1;
                _itemType = _itemTypes select _index2;

and replace or comment it out /* .... .... */ with this

Code:

    //------------------------------STATIC LOOT TABLES---------------------------------------------
