Position finder

Hi,

I was going to rewrite WAI for A3 but seeing your work coming along so nicely I'm not gonna bother with it.

So here is my updated position finder, its find 4 type of locations, road, town, forrest and water
use it if you want :)

nearbyPlayers = {
    private ["_pos", "_isNearList", "_isNear"];
    _pos = _this select 0;

    _isNearList = _pos nearEntities [["Epoch_Male_F","Epoch_Female_F"], 300];
    _isNear = false;

    // Check for Players
    if ((count(_isNearList)) > 0) then {
        {
            if (isPlayer _x) then {
                _isNear = true;
            };
        } forEach _isNearList;
    };

    if !(_isNear) then {
        _isNearList = _pos nearEntities [["LandVehicle", "Air"], 300];
        {
            {
                if (isPlayer _x) then {
                    _isNear = true;
                };
            } forEach (crew _x);
        } forEach _isNearList;
    };
    _isNear
};

nearbyBlackspot = {
    private ["_position", "_isNear", "_nearby"];
    _position = _this select 0;
    _isNear = false;

    _nearby = nearestObjects [_position, ["PlotPole_EPOCH"], 300];

    if ((count _nearby) > 0) then {
        _isNear = true;
    };
    _isNear
};

    3    Maximum distance
    4    Maximum distance from nearest object
    5    0 - cant be in water, 1 - ?

Custom AI Brain

I plan to write a custom AI Brain. This will be superior to the default Arma AI.

This will wait till after the primary VEMF is released.

never use execVM

Its recommend to storage the function on a variable with
MyFunction = compileFinal "pathtofunction.sqf";

Then can you execute the function with:
[] spawn MyFunction or [] call MyFunction (deeps in which environment you want it)

With call is it also possible to have a return value from the function.

AI Air Reinforcements

AI Fastroping from a support chopper when reinforcements are called.

Stats Recording

Record Player Mission Stats and allow the display of them via a custom dialog.
http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31678-redis-custom-columns/?p=198210

Planned for a future version.

Adding a return value to AISpawn functions / passing option for timer to delete dead bodies.

A while ago I moved the logic in DZMS to delete dead AI bodies from a timer for each body to a timer for the entire mission. On a busy server with serveral missions running that reduced the number of timers running from perhaps 60 or more to 2 or 3. For this to work one needs a system to collect information about the AI spawned. That change seemed to reduce lag on busy days significantly.

I suggest that the AI spawn function return the _grp, which can then be processed however one likes in any addons.

The other half of this would be to add a fifth, optional call parameter to the AI Spawn function that would be used to toggle a variable for each unit indicating whether or not a timer should be run for body cleanup. That variable would be check in the AIKilled module if/when the AI is killed.

ReWrite VAISpawn

VAISpawn has some logic errors in it. A workaround was added, but it needs reWrote before full release.

Some errors I had to fix:

What I thought was town center was actually a unit position. Made Waypoints way off.
Last Group in Loop wasn't added to array, no leader was selected

ATM "Strict" Distribution probably has related errors still.

BIS_fnc_MP does not work in epoch

https://github.com/SMVampire/VEMF/blob/master/%40VEMF/Addons/VEMF/Missions/DynamicTownInvasion.sqf#L71-L72

just use publicVariableEventHandler

isClass Item, Weapon, or Magazine

Not sure how to check if a classname is an item and not a weapon, as they are both in CfgWeapons.

Until this is sorted crates will only have items, not weapons.

hint str(isClass (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> "FirstAidKit"));

Returns True.

Weighted Weapons Table

The weapons need weighted in the future. AI with large calibers are too strong.

Where's the Damn Crate?

Crate Searching Results go here.

remove createCenter and setFriend

https://github.com/SMVampire/VEMF/blob/4dcb2e3ae3fefad11277a5286571569ed93334f8/VEMF/init.sqf#L40-L42

setFriend just work server side, we do this in epoch code already on the server so you don't need to do this and on the client does it make client restrictions.

Change from systemChat to customChat or BIS_fnc_infoText

systemChat is unnoticeable grey. Needs to be more noticeable.

VFunctions Not Being Loaded

VFunctions.sqf isn't being loaded from init.sqf causing an undefined variable error at init.sqf line 83.

Detecting Steep Slopes at potential mission positions

I have one suggestion for VEMFRandomPos, whenever you have time to think about it, which is to add a check for the difference in elevation between the different feelers and to use that as a check for steeply sloped mountainsides. I first saw this in Wicked AI and since added an implementation to your DZMS after finding many missions spawning on the sides of mountains on NAPF. This led to some very amusing glitches but made missions difficult to complete. I used the following to get the elevation of a feeler which in my code I call _obj1:

((getPosASL _obj1) select 2)

Thank you so much for sharing your work on this project. It will be a true game changer for those of use who run PVE no PVP servers.

Temporary Vehicles

Need to be able to create vehicles temporarily.

initServer.sqf

add this to the config.cpp and you don't need the initServer.sqf in mission file
you might need to rename vinit.sqf to fn_init.sqf

class CfgPatches 
{
    class VEMF
    {
        units[] = {"C_man_1"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F","A3_Soft_F","A3_Soft_F_Offroad_01","A3_Characters_F"};
        fileName = "VEMF.pbo";
        author[]= {"Vampire"}; 
    };
};
class CfgFunctions {
    class Mission1 {
        class main {
            file = "\VEMF";
            class init {
                postInit = 1;
            };
        };
    };
};
