Simple AI Tutorial (no rMod or DayZ_Factions)

[Richie]

Has anyone found a way to get them to respawn after a set time ?
My poor AI are getting pwned really feel for the little guys, Spent so long adding them that they have become like the brothers i never wanted

 

[scottieo321]

ye thats something i am also wanting as once they are dead thats it no more action (apart from players) until restart

 

[Gunhaver]

does anyone have any clue about Script scripts\zombie_generate.sqf not found? I have tried everything I can think of

 

[Gunhaver]

Here is the relevant snippet from my init.sqf Scripts are placed in the MPmissions\scripts folder

zombie_generate = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\zombie_generate.sqf";
 
if (isServer) then {
//
_factions = [] execVM "scripts\set_unit_faction.sqf";
//diag_log format["Factions executed: %1",_factions];
//Array to pass to .sqf: [[<worldspace>],radius of waypoints (in metres),number of waypoints,number of ai units, group type [0:random unit, 1:sniper, 2:gunner, 3:militiaman, 4:squad], faction [0:hates everyone except survivors, 1:hates everyone]]
_aispawn = [[11826.25,12851.13,0],100,5,1,4,1] execVM "scripts\add_unit_server.sqf";//Fort des Dunes
 
_serverMonitor =[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\server_monitor.sqf";
};

Normally, I would hope no one saw my post and delete it and laugh quietly at my stupidity. I would however like anyone else who may not have the knowledge to know the difference. The scripts folder needs to be packed in the mission PBO...duh

gunhaver what kind of server do you run is it a dedi server or a package one?

 

[Gunhaver]

I run a dedicated reality package. I'm an idiot. I didn't put the scripts folder in the PBO, i just put it in the mpmissions folder. Packed it in the pbo and everything is working great now!

 

[scottieo321]

hmm mine was working fine just in the mpmission folder im now stuck on putting them into thirsk did the exact same shit but they just wont spawn in has anyone got any ideas? i will post init file next

With large code strings like this, throw it in a code box or something, you can find it in the reply toolbar to the right of the media tab. Dont mean to sound like I am winging but it saves on space and allows more posts less pages in total. Cheers

Now to the problem- Have you got all these code strings in the init.sqf file?

 

[scottieo321]

yeah that is my init.sqf file oh right i wernt sure as to do that one thanks lol

 

[scottieo321]

it dont show up with any errors or anything thats why i dont get why its not working it cant be the skins as i have same ones on my cherno map and they still work perfectly i have also treid changing the skins to still no look

 

[Sulo]

It could be the skins if they are not in the current map your using. You can see which ones are unbanned on your map somewhere in @dayz_map name or something in the install folder on your pc.

 

[scottieo321]

ye just found out every last one of them are banned out of thirsk

 

[scottieo321]

is there anyway to unban these or even just one of them so that others dont need to download my files? i cant believe rocket actually banned them all i dont see the point you could have your own individual character on servers i just dont see the point

 

[Gunhaver]

is there anyway to unban these or even just one of them so that others dont need to download my files? i cant believe rocket actually banned them all i dont see the point you could have your own individual character on servers i just dont see the point

The only way to "unban" things server side is with rMod, that I know of at least.

 

[Sulo]

i found another post that says this guy cna do it but he has yet to share but gives some hints. If you guys can figure it out pls tell me.

http://opendayz.net/index.php?threads/banned-vehicles-spawning-without-rmod.7154/page-3

The file he says he uses has all vehicles, weapons, and AI

 

[Gunhaver]

Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to randomize the spawn points? I think it would be great to not know where they spawn or if you're going to run into them.

 

[scottieo321]

ok so heres a new one for you my cherno file also says that the classes im using is banned yet i am able to spawn the AI in so if they are banned on them both how come only one of them can spawn them in? i also refuse to use rmod i hate the thing. also sulo i dont have a clue how they got all that to work and especially how they are not explaining how it does

 

[scottieo321]

t

Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to randomize the spawn points? I think it would be great to not know where they spawn or if you're going to run into them.

the best way to do that right now is to just expand there radius that way you could run into them just about anywhere and set them more waypionts to yesterday i had a sniper on sniper hill elektro he didnt come across any then today bam he got wiped out by them seems tho i gave them more waypoints
