[FIX] Spawn in ground

StokesMagee · May 2, 2018

Well, after so many people are having the spawn in ground bug i decided to take a quick look at the cause, and I've figured it out.

TLDR: Arma

Long reason:

Spoiler

Basically what's happening is the main display (46) is for some reason not loading fast enough and the display is not being created, another thing to note is that Exile are also suspending in an FSM

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE REASON JUST GIVE ME THE FIX.... ok ok... here is the fix:

Make a file in your mission file called "ExileClient_gui_selectSpawnLocation_show.sqf" and add inside of it:

ExileClientSpawnLocationSelectionDone = false;
ExileClientSelectedSpawnLocationMarkerName = "";

[] spawn
{
	disableSerialization;
	private["_display", "_spawnButton", "_listBox", "_listItemIndex", "_numberOfSpawnPoints", "_randNum", "_randData", "_randomSpawnIndex"];

	uiSleep 0.1;
	waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 46)};

	createDialog "RscExileSelectSpawnLocationDialog";
	waitUntil
	{
		_display = findDisplay 24002;
		!isNull _display
	};
	
	_spawnButton = _display displayCtrl 24003;
	_spawnButton ctrlEnable false;
	_display displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "_this call ExileClient_gui_loadingScreen_event_onKeyDown"];
	_listBox = _display displayCtrl 24002;
	lbClear _listBox;
	{
		if (getMarkerType _x == "ExileSpawnZone") then
		{
			_listItemIndex = _listBox lbAdd (markerText _x);
			_listBox lbSetData [_listItemIndex, _x];
		};
	}
	forEach allMapMarkers;
	_numberOfSpawnPoints = {getMarkerType _x == "ExileSpawnZone"} count allMapMarkers;
	if (_numberOfSpawnPoints > 0) then 
	{
		_randNum = floor(random _numberOfSpawnPoints);
		_randData = lbData [24002,_randNum];
		_randomSpawnIndex = _listBox lbAdd "Random";
		_listBox lbSetData [_randomSpawnIndex, _randData];
	};
	true
};

true

then go to the config.cpp (or wherever your CfgExileCustomCode is) and find CfgExileCustomCode and add:

ExileClient_gui_selectSpawnLocation_show = "ExileClient_gui_selectSpawnLocation_show.sqf";

NOTE: if you're using XS Spawn use this instead:

Thanks Stokes.. Ill have to look over the exact add on to fix, as my XS spawn has base spawn added and may not be exactly this.. But good job, did have a player complaining of this.. Also had a few reports of players dying during halo for no reason, just dead in air. Any clue?
