[XM8 APP] Vehicle Tracking

[coftsock 90]

Made a Script for use with the custom xm8, The feature costs 300 pops (default) and will create a local map marker on the vehicle you are next too along with its classname as the marker text that will stay on the vehicle until server restart. This download has the script and the app icon.

 

NOTE For correct Poptab updating you need  @happydayz addon http://exile.majormittens.co.uk/topic/7577-update-respectpoptabs-and-save-to-database/

First I thought this is a vehicles tracking for your own vehicles but paying to get locations of vehicles around you ,,,,, i don't know about this .

fixed so that the poptab deduction will now save to database

Would be cool to track your own vehicles as said above. Then would put in place. Save admins time if anything happens with the magical "vehicle stealing fairy" That appears after every restart.

That's a great idea for an APP! Would implement in a heartbeat.

Woah

Bloody beautiful app! I love seeing all of these ideas being executed by the community.

Would something like this work for tracking a car you were sitting in?

private["_vehicle"];
_vehicle = _this;
if !(local _vehicle) then
{
	throw "Please get in as driver first";
};
_vehDisplayName = gettext (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeof _vehicle) >> "displayName");
hint format ["Tracking %1", _vehDisplayName];
_marker_name = "marker" + str _vehicle;		 
_marker  =  createMarkerlocal [_marker_name , getPosASL _vehicle];
_marker setMarkerType "Select"; //marker type
_marker setMarkerColor "ColorBlue"; //marker color
_marker setMarkerText format ["%1", _vehDisplayName];
 while {alive _vehicle} do { 
_marker setMarkerPos getpos _vehicle; 
};
