DAYZ VEHICLES AUTO SPAWN (vehicles.lua)

[domez_z]

Hello guys, i recently setuped up my own dayz server, but i need to add like more vehicles i have some vehicles.lua and there are cars adn ther x,y,z i guess its spawn how can i add more? or can some1 just give me some pre-scripted vehicles.lua so i dont have to type it or something? i want more cars on my server basicaly , which players can find and get

[Mr.Loki]

function position()
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
    outputChatBox(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5, 0, 255, 0)
    setClipboard(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5)
    outputChatBox("Position has been copied to your clipboard.", 0, 255, 0)
end
addCommandHandler("getpos",position)

To get more spawn positions just go where u want a vehicle to spawn and use the command and paste it into when vehicle table.

Don't forget to add the vehicle ID before the first comma so it should look like: {vehicleID, x, y, z}

[domez_z]

Thanks for the post, but i didnt get it. Im new with it and can you guide me a bit?  Please.

Since it was pretty rando mthat i setuped up my server, please:)

Here's the same function with comments.

function position()
	local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) -- this will get the position of the player in 'x, y, z' who types the /getpos command
	outputChatBox(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5, 0, 255, 0) -- this will output the position to the chatbox
	setClipboard(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5) -- this will copy the position to the player's clipboard
	outputChatBox("Position has been copied to your clipboard.", 0, 255, 0) -- this will output another text to the chatbox 
end -- end the function
addCommandHandler("getpos", position) -- attach a command to the function '/getpos'

By saying this he meant that you'll have to define vehicle ID before 'x, y, z' arguments since the first argument of createVehicle is the model ID of the vehicle to be created and after that the x, y, z argument come. So it would have to be like {Vehicle model, x, y, z}. Example: {520, 0, 0, 4} <-- this will create a hydra in the middle of the GTA's map.

You just have to add this code client sided and declare the file in the meta.xml of the resource. Start the resource and type /getpos. If I didn't understand you well, please explain 'put' a bit more.

[domez_z]

Well idk where to like put the whole script.

Should i put it in vehicles.lua to DAYZ? or where? Where do i copy and paste it?

 

This : 

1. function position()
2. local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) -- this will get the position of the player in 'x, y, z' who types the /getpos command
3. outputChatBox(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5, 0, 255, 0) -- this will output the position to the chatbox
4. setClipboard(x..", "..y..", "..z+.5) -- this will copy the position to the player's clipboard
5. outputChatBox("Position has been copied to your clipboard.", 0, 255, 0) -- this will output another text to the chatbox
6. end -- end the function
7. addCommandHandler("getpos", position) -- attach a command to the function '/getpos'

 should i paste it in dayz? vehicles. lua? or where?

[Gravestone]

If the vehicles.lua file is client sided, then yeah, paste this code in there.

[domez_z]

I guess it doesnt work. Can i do it somehow different? Dunno where to paste it ,when not in vehicles.lua. 

And dont know what client sided means.

[Gravestone]

Before starting off with your server, I suggest you to have a better understanding of lua and MTA coding. Visit lua website and MTA Wik.

[domez_z]

Everything to me was explained. And i did pretty good job. :-< And this is the last step to have it complete.

[domez_z]

it didnt help, my cars just were gone, so i had to backup my vehicles basically. so its okay now

and some1 told me that it will spawn after item respawn, can i somehow change it to do it faster? (the loot respawn - and where if possible)

[Gravestone]

You mean respawning the vehicle after exploding? If so, use setVehicleRespawnDelay.

Dayz has its own respawning system

if you want the dayz vehicles to respawn faster there are 2 things you can do

Delete the backkup database in tools/database.db

or make a command to call the function "spawnDayZVehicles"

addCommandHander("spawnvehicles",function()
  spawnDayZVehicles()
end)

also if you want the vehicles to respawn faster look for the onVehicleExplode event

there should be a timer in that function with 1800000 miliseconds = 30 minutes

change it to whatever time you want but keep it over 1 minute to be safe.
