Security Lights

Okay, I done both of those - do I need to restart the server? How do I add all players the ability to use the /sl commands?

 

You shouldn't need to restart, but you do need to relog.

To grant all players the ability, use "grant group default securitylights.use"

 

That's worked, thanks Biscuit - awesome mod!

 

thanks I've been using it for about 5-6 years now for steam and my arma servers' logo it goes well and sets the mood
[DOUBLEPOST=1501915061][/DOUBLEPOST]This spams the hell out of the server console at dark by the way.

 

Bad spam, or what?

 

Well, what's considered bad? I mean it scrolls and seems to drop server fps 50-60. It didn't crash the server, but then I didn't let it go on running like that. After a nap I'll re-load it and see what it does, take a screenie or two and let ya know what I see. You're not running this on a server yourself?

 

I am, just haven't seen that sort of issue.

 

Uh oh that means it's all on me

i set light and make it with /sl add to sec-light = its working
i change the mode of this light to heli = its working
i want to change it from heli to other mode = error with message: this is not a sec-light
i add it again with /sl add = its working
i want change mode to everything = error with message: this is not a sec-light

the plugin is not saved the added lights in SecurityLights.json correctly

 

Is there anyway to configure this plugin to track Npc's and Animals?

 

NPC's yes, I haven't been able to get animals to work well though. Tracking animals was very taxing on the system. I can look into it more though

 

Is there another way to make it so a friend can add themselves other than putting a cupboard down?

 

Right now it supports the Clans plugin, but I can add look into adding support for the FriendsAPI.

 

S0N_0F_BISCUIT updated Security Lights with a new update entry:

1.0.5

 

So Yes, there is a current way to configure for Npc's?(and if so, how would I go about doing that?)

Or you simply mean, there is a way for you to add that to the plugin? You just haven't gotten around to it yet?

Thanks.

 

I can add that into the plugin. Just to clarify, by NPCs you mean the ones added by the NPC plugin right?

 

Uummm......sure? I guess I just assumed any NPC would be covered no matter the specific plugin?

Lately I have been using BotSpawn. But again, I guess I just assumed an NPC is an NPC is an NPC?
I gather not?

Not sure.

 

Yeah, any NPC plugin will be covered.

 

This is a fantastic plugin - although the only problem I have with it is that currently only 1 searchlight sticks to a player at a time. Is it possible to make all within that vicinity lock on as well? If so that'd be great.

AWESOME plugin regardless.

 

This is the way that I wrote the plugin. If I made it so that multiple lights tracked a single player, the lights would not track any other players if they came in range with the current detection/tracking system.
