Kenya

I'm looking forward to the journey

If you do make one can I get a copy ? I know I must walk before I run and extra workspace inside or outside the xm8-apps would be great, I can keep all the xm8 specific ones on the xm8-apps then ( hopefully on extra pages from Shix )

Ah this morning has been some fun reading, thanks again to both of you you have made my morning, I see there is so much for me to learn still, are there any resources/tutorials either of you would recommend me learning from, I had been reading the https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands_Arma_3 page but the syntax examples on some of the commands have been throwing me off, I want to be a sponge and absorb all this knowledge i'm just not sure where is best to learn from

Double ouch lol

Ouch lol

Haha that would be great, summon the troops and their poking sticks !! @Shix Thank you for your xm8-apps, without it I would not have taken the step to trying out my own scripts for it, you need a huge hug haha. I would definitely be interested in more pages to add my script ideas to if available *poke poke* and cheers again @Shix

What do these lines of code do ? I'm guessing the second from StokesMagee destroys vehicles around the player maybe ? also in the getpos player what is the [], 9001 ? so many questions sorry

Thank you, thank you Never coded anything on Arma series before purchasing my arma3 exile server im setting up but i'm loving putting the ideas into practice, so far I have 4 scripts written for the xm8-apps I downloaded/installed. Got a ground 2 halo launcher, heli halo jump (that for some unknown reason all can use except co-pilot), and the 2 hire vehicles. Soon I will need someone to come up with extra pages for the xm8-apps for me to put my script ideas into, i'm slowly running out of space on it haha

Yes essentially they should return it safely like a regular hire vehicle to get their deposit back (leaving them with the small and fair 10% hire fee only) if they return it in one piece. Currently I have a hireVan (6000 deposit plus 1200 hire cost) and a hireCar (3000 deposit plus 600 hire cost) so if they return the vehicle on time before the restart they will only incur charges of 1200/600 respectively. Must say I also like the sound of your idea, another path to the same goal, I like

Being non-persistant spawns the intention is for the player to "return" them (sell" to the trader to get their 50% deposit back, any vehicles not returned will be despawned upon the next restart of the server (every 4hrs on my server)

Morning Taylor, sorry I was sleeping I set the hire cost to 50% of the buy value (same as sale value) + a 10% hire cost, so essentially i'm encouraging people to sell (return) the vehicle before the server restart (every 4 hours) or they will lose their deposit on the vehicle. By selling they get back their 50% deposit but not the hire cost. If they destroy or lose the hire vehicle before "returning it" they will of course lose their deposit

You are a star !! thank you, thank you, thank you Works like a dream

essentially the _moneyremove value is not storing correct, instead of 42500 after purchase as it should be it is setting itself to the hire instead cost of -7500 and upon execution is wiping out the whole exile accounts money by setting the new player balance to -7500 total cash

Hi again and thanks, heres the problem, I have 50,000 poptabs, I hire a vehicle for 7500, it should leave me 42,500 poptabs left, but it doesnt it takes all the poptabs and leaves me at -7500 total poptabs, meaning cost was 57,500 poptabs for the vehicle hire

Would encasing in brackets work, ? _moneyremove = (_money - 7500); I seem to have gone from free cars to hugely expensive ones Thanks in advance
