Request on custom buildings

[RealShu]

So I made a previous post about the buildings spawn format. But currently I only use the old dzmods as the new one is not as developed as i like. Can anyone reformat my buildings from the new "SpawnObject" to the old "obj = GetGame().CreateObject" format? Since i seemed to make map edits a day after the offline tools were updated.

Arkensors new development branch has something to do with formatting the exported code. Take a deeper look on it. Also browse the issues sy8282 had made an issue ticket for this ;)

@RealShu Everyone keeps asking to revert back to the original, and I don't understand why, and maybe you can explain more.

https://github.com/Da0ne/DZMods/blob/99401143b820a12cfea69f6748c3ef55f475f169/mpmissions/DayZSurvival.chernarusplus/ScriptedMods/Tunables.c#L81-L88

Above is the way you add buildings currently to your server. This is extremely close to the same solution as the original solution. All this is, is a collection of objects which will be placed, and called the same way as they were before I changed it, the only difference is that you don't have to add 1000 CreateObject calls. Instead all these objects are thrown through a loop and created one by one.

Current Spawner:

https://github.com/Da0ne/DZMods/blob/99401143b820a12cfea69f6748c3ef55f475f169/mpmissions/DayZSurvival.chernarusplus/ScriptedMods/Modules/CustomBuildings/BuildingSpawner.c#L34-L45

Old Spawner:

void Init() {
    Print("BuildingSpawner:: Spawning custom scripted buildings....");
    Object obj;
    obj = GetGame().CreateObject( "Land_Airfield_Hangar_Green", "11990.633789 146.099136 12485.503906", false, true );
    obj.SetOrientation("-157.000046 -1.000000 -0.000000");
    obj.SetDirection(obj.GetDirection());
}

Game#CreateObject Documentation:

proto native Object CreateObject( string type, vector pos, bool create_local = false, bool init_ai = false, bool create_physics = true );

i found that the new way just doesnt work properly items out of place first pic is the new spawner, and this is the old way think it may be an issue with arkensors mod as on the description for the new online tools he says some objects dont align properly and positions change, but ive had zero issues with the old spawner

[sy8282]

@GravityWolfNotAmused sorry for the crap quality of pics but think they show the issue

[GravityWolfNotAmused]

So, you all have used the old and new with the same values? Could be it DayZ ??

[sy8282]

We built it on the old com editor with the old spawner works perfectly Tried to convert to new values was awful, rebuilt with new com editor on the editor it looks perfect then added to server with new spawner and it comes out like the photo stuff out of line on all axis, hence why I think it's a problem with the new com editor

@sy8282 Send me a snippet of what you used for the old code for one object spawn.

[GravityWolfNotAmused]

Maybe there is something I am not seeing that you have written inside of you spawner which I am not doing with mine.

[GravityWolfNotAmused]

@sy8282 Can I please get that snippet please?

i just got this admin tool how do i use the building spawner? is it something we can do in game? i cant seem to find the key for it

[sy8282]

@GravityWolfNotAmused I used the standard format from the old spawner and I'm still on the server sided moddedscripts as when I switch to the @vanillapp on my test server we converted the old code to new and got bad results, thought it may of been the way we converted it so we rebuilt with the new com editor and again got bad results so we went back to the old moddedscripts and the old com editor

Didnt i mentioned that this is caused by a wrong hive call in?

@robotstar has fixed it with my idea of putting the hivecall directly into the DayZSurvival function in the Missionserver section.
