This has been in high demand by players on my server for awhile now (They want dogfighting). Initially dismissed the idea assuming client side mod would be required to work well, it would cause lag, or depending on implementation may get blocked by antihack.

Recently one of my admins pointed me to a mission which allows customization of all vehicles with player weapons(http://getwrecked.info/). I unpacked the pbo and discovered it was actually simulating the effect of the weapons. The weapons attached to vehicles are just props, and everything from muzzle flash, to gunfire sounds, spawning projectile, assigning velocity to projectile is all scripted. It even simulates ammo magazines and reload times since technically it is not a real weapon being fired. Within the draw loop it checks to see if a mousedown event is active, if so it checks for a player vehicle, loops all attached objects, if they are weapons it begins firing.

I extracted the code I wanted and got a Caesar BTT to fire from attached weapons on my Wasteland Dev server. I'm probably going to go with MK200 rounds if I release it. So technically I already have this working.This dev server is not running battleye though, and I suspect the createVehicle on the bullets may get blocked since it is done client side.

A note on lag... What I noticed in testing so far is that setVelocity creates lag/choppy animations when issued server side, but when done client side it is smooth. Even for other clients (Not tested with large number of players). More testing is required, but my initial assumption is that the client responsible for applying force to the object ends up doing more physics processing and the other clients/server simply validate the state of an object on some kind of interval. Maybe AgentRev or another dev here knows more regarding this behaviour.

Anyway, I am more or less just doing this for fun. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions let me know.

attachTo the correct stuff on spawn when purchasing is done server side i believe ( spawnStoreObject.sqf i think it was ) - no issues with BE.

I used to add DAGR missles to my Pawnee's in a similar fashion.

well played Bohemia !

You guys should consider jumping on the dev branch to test mission files before they go to release xD

Iron out any nasties that may lurk beneath the code that is BiS.

if (patchLevel == _release) then {break stuff};

I was wondering if there is a script like this
http://www.exilemod.com/topic/7989-respect-based-spawn-gear/?page=1

(dead links tho)

I do want to have a ranking system (not the BIS type) but like the one In KOTH on my server and i bet many people want it on theirs

i did find this script

I do want to see the A3Wasteland community to grow and become just as big as exile.
If someone can work around this script or find a way to do it would be amazing.

There's a few topics on here covering starting loadouts based on various other factors . It's really not hard to do based on UID's that you either flag in the database or a more primitive version where you add UID's to an array.

I originally did the first repsect loadouts for Exile back when it started.You can find that code here to give you an idea

https://github.com/CRE4MPIE/Exile.Namalsk/blob/master/addons/custom/ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest.sqf#L33-L224

That said - have a look , you can fairly easily call a script on playerSpawn that checks the players UID and adds gear based on some value you give it.

Later on I just gave up adding peoples gear and allowed them access to a limited VAS system which i flagged them for in the database. Simpler , Less headaches , no restart required.

Goodluck Have a look for "custom loadouts"

CP out

Mokey you are far too kind lol ! Just another player here that wants to see stuff work and other people enjoying the game too xD

Everyone has to start somewhere - my coding skills are dismal !, the community is awesome and helps alot

CP out !

Cool ^^

can you tell me more about this?

https://github.com/CRE4MPIE/A3Wasteland_v1.3d.Stratis/blob/master/server/functions/serverPlayerDied.sqf#L80-L91

As observed on my servers, when a battle breaks out in a large town/territory where each side has spawn beacons deployed, it won't last long before the town is full of corpses, taking down the frame rate of all clients and the server.

The default corpse removal time is 30 minutes, giving players enough time to retrieve their weapons/equipment. However, this setting is not suitable for corpses in a town on fire. A 10-minute interval is more suitable here.

Is it possible to dynamically set the interval based on the corpse quantity in towns/territories?

If i recall correctly there are 3 options at work here ...

Have a look here - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#corpseLimit

The corpseRemovalMinTime will kick in when the corpseLimit has been reached.
The corpseRemovalMaxTime works when the corpseLimit has not been reached.

In theory this should all work "dynamically" as the amount of incursions increase or decrease , however as with BI not all things work as they should.

Give it a try maybe and do some testing.
