Title: Building script
Post by: bardosy on 17 Sep 2007, 08:52:17

At weekend I tried to make a building script:
The player have to buld a roadblock with "sandbag" (WoodFence).

I get the position of player and add 1m to X coordinate and create a woodfence...
I know it's not the perfect solution, but in my situation, the player is watch for North, and it could be works, but didn't, because the sandbag created in random places... :( Once 2m behind the player and next time 3m left from player...etc.


Could anybody help me to create a general building script:
Parameters are the "vehicle" what the script build (eg: WoodFence) and the distance in meter from the player and the degree how the new object's direction will be...
And when script activated: the new object is created front of player (where player watch).

Please help me!

["obj",distance,degree] execVM "LCD_buildobj.sqf"

Code: [Select]

private ["_objType","_pos","_dir"];

_objType = _this select 0;
_pos = player modeltoworld [0,_this select 1,0];
_dir = _this select 2;

_obj = _objType  createvehicle _pos;
_obj setdir _dir;

if (true) exitwith {};

LCD: Unfortunately, your script didn't work. (Nothing happened). But from your idea (modelToWorld) I made a working script. My script use the player direction too:

Code: [Select]

;Build script by bardosy
;thanks to LCD
;usage: ["classname",distance,degree] exec "buildscript.sqs"
;example: ["FenceWood",1.5,90] exec "buildscript.sqs"

_class = _this select 0
_distance = _this select 1
_degree = _this select 2

_pos = player modeltoworld [0,_distance,0]
_rb = _class createVehicle getPos player

_degr = getDir player
?(_degr>=180) : _degr = _degr - 180
_ndeg = _degr + _degree

_rb setDir _ndeg
_rb setPos _pos
