Which island are we on?

[Nemesis6]

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.

[AnarCHy]

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

ehhe....

[Nemesis6]

Now that's just a stupid response.

[AnarCHy]

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?

[Nemesis6]

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

[WizzyWig]

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]

ECP also has an island detection routine.

[Nemesis6]

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.

[Planck]

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 ;D

[Nemesis6]

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
