Before 1.28 it was possible to spawn in assets (like food or guns) via the cfgeffectarea.json file. It seems like this functionality is no longer available. This feature (intended or not) is widely used in the console community. Please allow us to spawn in items via the effectarea file or give us an alternative way of spawning in assets (besides json since that needs a y-coord)
Thank you,
I think you mean cfggameplay.json? The cfgeffectarea.json is used for effects like the contaminated areas, not assets.
no I mean the cfgeffectarea.json it use to be able to spawn objects like guns and stuff before 1.28 this is how alot of bots spawned in items since it allowed end users to not have to use a y-coord (unlike the objectspawner json) or have to add additional events
Hello.
This file was never intended to be used this way. However, we would like to see the file you use to spawn the items.
Looks like it's intentional. Just adding the Y coord seems pretty trivial anyway.
It is not trivial since console doesn't have the ability to query live data and has to wait for log updates. Having the item snap to the ground wherever is alot easier on end users. Having end users have to figure out their height on a map is alot more tedious and prone to errors.
Oh sorry, I assumed you'd be using admin tools/DayZ Editor on the PC version to get that information. Having owned servers in the past myself, I remember waiting for the logging spitting out the coordinates being a pain. I've been out of the loop for a while.
