Change DayZ survivor spawn location?

DayZGO · Jun 1, 2013

Hello guys!

Im working on putting up a Survivor Games server.
But i need to set up the server so i only have the same spawn location for all fresh spawns.

I know i need to change some code in the mission file and the player setup file.
Or i could do this through DB.

But what is the best way to make this happen?

As im stating. I need 1 spawn location only. so the players can spawn in our "base"
to get ready for survivor games challenge.

Here is the mission file position i want to use for all survivor spawns:

position[]={2070.8286,244.01938,11682.723};

Thanks for all help in advance!

Yeah, i have read it... But it doesnt say how to use only one spawn location.

And i want to know how to do this in DB if possible...?

Seven · Jun 1, 2013

Why would you only want one spawn location?
And Database has no control over how players spawn, The database only stores data and returns player and vehicle data when requested.

DayZGO · Jun 2, 2013

Because, as i said. Im hosting a Survival Games tournament.
And part of the plan is that every player is spawning at the same location at first.

So any help?

Ah, missed that bit.

edit dayz_server.pbo\compile\server_playerSetup.sqf

around line 174 you will find the "if (_randomSpot) then {" section
Change this to

Code:

if (_randomSpot) then {
    _position = ([[2070.8286,11682.723], 0, 10, 12, 0, 120, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos);
    _worldspace = [0,_position];
};

This will spawn players within a 10m radius of your set location.

Tnx

Will try now! So i dont need to change the mission file? Only server pbo?

And must i use mission file coordinates for the server file, or DB coordinates?

Seven · Jun 2, 2013

You don't need to change the mission file since you are using a single spawn point, I can tweak it to use the spawn point from a mission file if you wish. You only need an x and y co-ordinate to run the code, mission.sqm's show the code as x,z,y.
So remember that when you are grabbing the co-ordinates.

DayZGO · Jun 2, 2013

Okay, so tried the first code you gave me...
its seems like its trying to spawn @ correct location.
But im getting failed to request caracter data everytime im trying to logon?

Seven · Jun 2, 2013

Sorry left a major part out

Code:

if (_randomSpot) then {
    private["_position","_worldspace"];
    if (!isDedicated) then {
        endLoadingScreen;
    };
    _position = ([[2070.8286,11682.723], 0, 10, 12, 0, 120, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos);
    _worldspace = [0,_position];
};

can you pastebin your whole server_playerSetup.sqf

DayZGO · Jun 2, 2013

Remember, the coordinate i posted in first part of this thread is a coordinate from the mission file, not db?
Just saying

If this could have something to do with it...

Looks like its not writing wordspace into db?
