Safe zones... Too safe?!

[William =D 134]

Safe zones... Too safe?! well... what I mean is now that vehicles have full god mode whilst within the safe zone, which I can understand why this was implemented, it has now caused my server to house every single vehicle at the trader, who needs safes when you can park a strider in a safe zone and it will be alright?

Nothing stops a person to sign in, buy a vehicle and leave it to never return to the server.

The ACiDy unlock script had the right idea, I believe still leave the god mode within the safe zone, but upon reset, vehicles within that zone becomes unlocked.

ACiDy Unlock Script

Just my two cents, there needs to be a loss if items are just left in plain sight especially if left within a safe zone for an extensive period.

All airports have extended parking options   I do leave a vehicle in a safe zone occasionally... but only while I am in that area.  Unlocking every restart is harsh.. how about after a couple days?  That would seem to solve the problem of people leaving them there indefinitely.

We unlock vehicles in safezone after restart. work great

I thought the same, but i feel if you set a "Day" counter it could open a world of "I WANT COMP, I LEFT IT THERE LAST RESET" so to speak...but never the less, good idea.

are you using ACiDy's? 

[itsatrap 251]

Nope using my own, think I posted it on the forum, but might been to old.

Here is the code, but since I use my own server PBO there is no easy howto.

but basic is runs on server start.

Add this to you cfgFunctions

			class unLockVehiclesInTradeZone {postInit = 1;};

/*
	File: unLockVehiclesInTradeZone.sqf
	Author: Michael <https://github.com/nerdalertdk>
	Description:
		Unlockes vehicles in traderzones
	Parameter(s):
		NONE
	Install:

*/
// Only run on server
if (!isServer) exitWith{};
private["_ExileTraderZone","_position","_radius","_vehicleArray","_vehicleUnlocked","_vehicleUnlockedTotal","_unLockVehiclesInTradeZone"];
_unLockVehiclesInTradeZone = 1;
if(_unLockVehiclesInTradeZone isEqualTo 1) then
{
	_vehicleUnlockedTotal = 0;
	{
		_ExileTraderZone = _x;
		if (getMarkerType _ExileTraderZone isEqualTo "ExileTraderZone") then
		{
			_vehicleUnlocked    = 0;
			_position          = getMarkerPos _ExileTraderZone;
			_radius            = getMarkerSize _ExileTraderZone;

			_vehicleArray = _position nearEntities[["Motorcycle","Car","Tank","Helicopter","Plane_Base_F","GNT_C185"], _radius select 0];
			{
				private["_vehicleObject","_vehicleClass","_vehicleKindOfExile"];
				_vehicleObject = _x;

				// Don't work if none exile vehicle is available on the server
				//_vehicleClass       = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _vehicleObject) >> "vehicleclass");
				//_vehicleKindOfExile = _vehicleClass IN ["ExileCars","ExileChoppers","ExilePlanes","ExileBoats","ExileBikes"];

				if (_vehicleObject getVariable "ExileIsLocked" isEqualTo -1) then
				{
					format ["Unlocking vehicle beloning to UID: %1 / TRADER: %3 / CLASS: %2", _vehicleObject getVariable "ExileOwnerUID", typeOf _vehicleObject, _ExileTraderZone] call ExileServer_util_log;
					
					_vehicleObject setVariable ["ExileIsLocked", 0, true];
					_vehicleObject lock 0;
					_vehicleUnlocked = _vehicleUnlocked + 1;
				};
				true
			}
			count _vehicleArray;

			_vehicleUnlockedTotal = _vehicleUnlockedTotal + _vehicleUnlocked;
			format ["%1 Vehicle unlocked in %2", _vehicleUnlocked, _ExileTraderZone] call ExileServer_util_log;
		};
		true
	} count allMapMarkers;

	format ["Total unlocked vehicle: %1", _vehicleUnlockedTotal] call ExileServer_util_log;
} else
{
	format ["traderzone vehicle cleanup deactivated! setting: %1", _unLockVehiclesInTradeZone] call ExileServer_util_log;
};
true

Save it as fn_unLockVehiclesInTradeZone.sqf

Also you could  goto your MYSQL and find the code

As much as i could filter the thousands of vehicles, I do not like that approach. but point taken. 

[second_coming 836]

https://github.com/secondcoming/ExilePHPAdmin/blob/master/safezone_delete.php

I run that at every restart to delete any vehicle that has been untouched in a safezone for more than 2 hours.

It is dependent on you adding a last_updated field to the vehicle table which is a timestamp of the last time the vehicle was accessed or driven and configuring the safe zones in the array $safezonearray:

$SafeZoneArray = ['2998.0603,18175.479,175,Folia'] //'x,y,radius,name' per safezone

Welcome to .... The car park...

One guy even decided he wanted a fleet of SUV's.....

Server I play on moves any vehicles left inside central to the salt flats on restart. Works well.
