Arma 2: Zone Restriction Module

Zone Restriction (Zora) module defines a kill zone around the playable one to avoid player(s) to flee from the battlefield. This only works for player unit.
A border is created where enemy patrols can be spawned, hunting the player while in this danger zone.

Initialization

Paths

Editor:

Modules (F7) > Zone Restriction

Data:

Editor setup

1. Insert sensor(s) named BIS_Zora_x - x as a number, starting from 0, numbers must follow, e.g BIS_Zora_0, BIS_Zora_1, etc.

The sensors are used to define the combat area.

Optional parameters

Set variables to Zone Restriction mudule with desired values:

• bordersize = <number>; - set the border size, between the "normal" area and the immediate death area

Example: Zora_Module setvariable ["bordersize", 250];

Default value: 1000m

• factionlist = <array>; - list of factions that can patrol in the border

Example: Zora_Module setvariable ["factionlist", ["USMC", "CDF", "GUE"]];

Default value: ["GUE"]

• maxgroups = <number>; - maximum number of groups at once chasing players in the border

Example: Zora_Module setvariable ["maxgroups", 8];

Default value: 3 ; minimum 1, else, will be reset to default

• debug = <bool>; - show restricted zone by markers on map, and patrols going after players in the border

Example: Zora_Module setvariable ["debug", true];

Default value: false

Set global variables with desired values:

• BIS_Zora_Pause = <bool>; - pause the detection

Example: BIS_Zora_Pause = true;

Default value: false

Behaviour

• Patrols will hunt down players in border given the formula [posx -50 +(random 100), posy -50 +(random 100), 0]
• Patrols will retreat after some time if the player left the border (either killed or gone back in safe zone)
• Patrols will disappear (instantly) once defeated / retreated

Known bugs

• Disembarking from a vehicle you embarked in the border will make you killed as if you left the combat area (even if disembarking in safe zone)
• Disembarking from a vehicle you started in will make you killed as if you left the combat area
