This is the same method this vector building system uses

Hey, good job on the release!

I would like to switch to your vector building from my current one but I am having an issue with it shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw69_7xPgGw

Thanks very much for this! But i appear to have a problem, as soon as you place an exile flag it sinks half way into the ground

Alright gentlemen, thank you for your reports.

@SeanJOS I would have to say there is an installation issue there.


@McToffee I will test the flag placement asap

We have the same issue with the flag too, also some other items.  The big dome from EBM mod sits half way in the ground. This is not a complaint just pointing out problems, brilliant work and thank you for sharing this script.  Keep up the good work

Hi Sanchez.

Me and some other People from the Exile Forums can confirm the shown Bugs from Seanjos Video. Something is really weird with the Snap Mode.

Sometimes it Snaps at Positions outside a Wall. And you can't move it away from there.

Then suddenly after some seconds it`s reacting and will snap to the positions you want it to.
But in 75 % in Snap mode , it`s anywhere , but not where you want to have it and it doesn't react.

It`s just the Snap Mode. When Building in Free Mode everything is working like a charm.

Just a little Feedback from my obversations.
And of course thanks for your effort and this script!

Thank you gentlemen for your reports.
I will be investigating both of these issues starting this evening.
1 quick beta host to get started up and the testing will begin.
I hope to have these resolved very soon and will update the git with any important info.

@SeanJOS @McToffee @klinGiii Thank you guys for your bug reports and its better than ever NOW!!

Tonights bug fixing has been 100% successful

[FIXED] Flag gets placed into ground when Built
[UPGRADE] Snapping gets full on vector wait till you see :WiNK:
[UPGRADE] Added min and max checks on the movements (update from work on wasteland vector)
[UPGRADE] Cleaned up code for this release since Exile has a thread for the placement

Thanks for the fixing this so quick, will try it out later tonight.  Thanks

Hi,

Just reporting that we are still getting Extended Base Mod items sinking into the ground, I think its mainly the extended base items eg towers, walls etc,  not sure if they act differently in game from normal exile base items

@RAZOR
I dunno, but I made the original arma assets mod for exile
DonkeyPunch Addon 4 Exile, which will be ported into my eXpoch work soon.
I will do some tests and see if I have the same results.

Until then, thanks for the kind words on the vector build release.

Hi I can't get this to work with exile. I followed the directions and have everything setup correctly. No rpt errors or anything. But it does not work. Any help? Thanks!

No problem.
Thanks for still doing all this, and your other projects and sharing them with the community. 

I installed it on my exile server and was kicked by Battleeye / Infistar. AttachTo Kick. Do I have to adapt something to Infistar?

@JimTim
If using the attachment part of the vector building system and you were kicked/log by infiStar.
I currently do all of my testing with infiStar, inside of infistar config hpp is a section concerning attachments:

attach_to_check should be false

@kronons
Please get in touch with me PM or here with paste bin of your RPT, maybe you missed something
