Custom PVE Zone

[SheepishShaun 4]

Hey guys, I need some help. 

I was wondering, how do I go about creating a PVE only zone on my map?

I made a zone in the mission.sqm using a trader safezone as a template and it worked great. It wasn't until players tried building and it said "You cannot build in a safezone", I remembered that using the safezone template was not the best idea.

I'm thinking I will need to make a custom trigger, then link it to a custom file (ExileClient_object_player_event_onEnterPVEzone.sqf), then just put the code I need in there.

Would that work?

How do I make a custom trigger?

And where would I need to place the custom " ExileClient_object_player_event_onEnterPVEzone.sqf " File?

Or am I going about it the wrong way?

Thanks Everyone!

here you go man

 

        class Item31
        {
            position[] = {23685.1,5.31532,16269.8};
            name = "RadiationZone";
            text = "Radiation Zone";
            markerType = "ELLIPSE";
            type = "Empty";
            colorName = "ColorRed";
            fillName = "Grid";
            a = 300;
            b = 300;
            drawBorder = 1;
        };

Thanks again hogansheros. What trigger is this using? As I want to trigger a safezone script when they enter it.

if you put a safe zone up its going to be hard for players to build unless you drop your radius size in the config

Thats why I was wanting to make my own trigger:

	class Sensors
	{
		items = 1;
		class Item0
		{
			position[] = {20603,0,7125.93};
			a = 2700;
			b = 2700;
			activationBy = "ANY";
			repeating = 1;
			interruptable = 1;
			age = "UNKNOWN";
			name = "ExilePVE";
			expCond = "(vehicle player) in thisList";
			expActiv = "call ExileClient_object_player_event_onEnterPVEzone";
			expDesactiv = "call ExileClient_object_player_event_onLeavePVEzone";
			class Effects{};
		};
	};

link it to a custom ExileClient_object_player_event_onEnterPVEzone.sqf:

private[];
if (ExilePlayerInSafezone) exitWith { false };
ExilePlayerInSafezone = true;
if (alive player) then
{
	player allowDamage false;
	player removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage";
};

ExileClientSafeZoneESPEventHandler = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {20 call ExileClient_gui_safezone_safeESP}];
["SafezoneEnter"] call ExileClient_gui_notification_event_addNotification;
ExileClientSafeZoneUpdateThreadHandle = [1, ExileClient_object_player_thread_safeZone, [], true] call ExileClient_system_thread_addtask;
true

Then I can have a CUSTOM safezone players can build in, can't get shot in, and you get notified when you enter it.

If I drop my radius size, players can still get killed in the PVE zone marker.

Or is this not possible?

i really dont believe this will work as a safe zone is a safe zone they are there for that reason.

besides if you got a pvp server with pve zones no one shouldnt be in there killing anyway, and thats why you have admins 

well goodluck setting things up ,its not that hard too do as i gave you the things you need.

P.S i dont think the triggers work

Thanks, It would only let me post in general discussion. I did originally want to ask the devs.

Not sure what that's all about, the only forums you're not able to post in you're not able to see... everything else you can post in.

What about PvE server with PvP Zones? 
Is it something anyone managed to create?
