Title: Which island are we on?
Post by: Nemesis6 on 24 Aug 2004, 01:40:14

Here's the thing - I need some sort of algorithm/whatever, to determine what island the player is on. Here's what I've tried --

? "klovi2" countType ["Object 2745"]: blah blah blah.

You see the concept, right? One object is never the same on all the islands, so it could specify which island it is... Anyway, help? I just can't get it to work.

Why exactly would you need to know which island the player is on...?

ehhe....

Now that's just a stupid response.

Either I misunderstood, or you misunderstood what I was saying...


I was asking, that if you placed the unit (player) on Kulgojev, wouldn't you already know which island you were on?

Yes, but the game woulden't. Neither would any of the scripts in my mod.

look at bas choppers it has a island script on it that looks at sothing and then tells you what island your on

Code: [Select]

_origin = "EmptyDetector" camcreate [0,0,0]

_origin setpos [6400, 3000, 0]
_p1 = (getpos _origin select 2) - ((getpos _origin select 2) Mod 1)
_origin setpos [6400, 6400, 0]
_p2 = (getpos _origin select 2) - ((getpos _origin select 2) Mod 1)
_origin setpos [6400, 9800, 0]
_p3 = (getpos _origin select 2) - ((getpos _origin select 2) Mod 1)
_origin setpos [3000, 6400, 0]
_p4 = (getpos _origin select 2) - ((getpos _origin select 2) Mod 1)
_origin setpos [9600, 4100, 0]
_p5 = (getpos _origin select 2) - ((getpos _origin select 2) Mod 1)
camdestroy _origin

ECP also has an island detection routine.

Well, sorry for any misunderstandings... Anyway, I've looked at both of those before, and suprisingly, I coulden't get them to work... But I only need to determine if it's Desert Island or not, so I just asked the game -

? (alive object 1): guess
?! (alive object 0): guess again

Thanks anyway.

I don't think Desert Island has any objects........or does it?


Edit:   I had a shot at checking Desert Island.

I placed my self on the island and used a setpos spell to zapp me off to the position of object 1 ( presuming one exists).

I ended up in the water at map reference Zj00 and sometimes Zj99.

No......that isn't a typo........I know the map only goes as far as Jj99.......but that was the map reference I got.

lol :o ;D

Heh, just for the sake of amusement, try this -

Condition: alive player

On Activation: hint format ["%1", typeOf (object 1)]

Would be fun to know what object it is...

EDIT: Wait a minute..... there is no object, that's why it's giving such a strange position... Damn it! :-/

Anyway, Object 1 on Malden is a small lump of grass on one of the small islands! :-/

Try this little script.

Put it in any mission as init.sqs, or part thereof.

It will tell you which island you are on from out of the original 4.

it = (typeof (object 0))
? it == "FuelStation" : hint "You are on Everon" ; exit

it = (typeof (object 666))
? it == "Housegaraz_bez_tanku" : hint "You are on Malden" ; exit

it = (typeof (object 2730))
? it == "Houseafdum_mesto3" : hint "You are on Kolgujev" ; exit

hint "You are on Desert Island"

exit
