DMS Static Missions on Altis: best way to disallow territories withing x radius of mission center?

[5niper 51]

Running DMS and Occupation, on Altis. Wondering quickest and easiest way to "disallow building"
within x radius in meters from ai base; particularly slums, and mercenary (salt flats). And maybe
even ai island. I know I had done this once (long time ago) but my memory is not what it used to be.

This is what I added to my mission.sqm to create a no build radius for the mission. Be sure to increment your items to reflect the addition.

		class Item50
		{
	        dataType = "Marker";
	        position[] = {6571, 0, 14167};
	        name = "AIBaseMission";
	        text = "AI Base Mission";
	        markerType = "ELLIPSE";
	        type = "ExileNonConstructionZone";
	        colorName = "ColorBlack";
	        fillName = "Border";
	        alpha = 0;
	        a = 800;
	        b = 800;
	        drawBorder = 0;
	        id = 150;
	        atlOffset = 0;
		};

@Kurewe Thanks! Easier than all the methods I've used in the past.
I'll give it a try later.

[Kurewe 132]

No problem. 

[5niper 51]

@Kurewe tried this. not working for me. wonder why.
coords for saltflats mission in dms given as [23300,18800,0],
I tried {23300, 0, 18800}, and also tried {18800, 0, 23300}, just in case I messed up coords.
But nothing shows on the map, and I can plant a territory flag right at the base too.

I did remember to change the class item number accordingly.

@5niper You dork...you forgot to increase the number of "items= " by +1

Back to the drawing board...Let's try this again...SUCCESS!

LOL... And after I specifically mentioned it too. Good deal. Glad you got it working.

Yeah, no I changed the number "class itemxx" but forgot to change the total (up top, at the beginning).

This worked great though. I did run into a snag. It worked so well, I thought I'd add one for the slums, and one
for the ai island too. So, I just added two more, in sequence. However, only the first one I added works.
The one I added for the slums, and for the ai island don't seem to work. What's the "id=150" for? Only for editor?
I looked in mission.sqm file, and located the highest number "id=xx", then changed the others to increase each by one.
In my case, there was an id=99, in the mission file, so I made the three "no build" I added id=100, id=101,id=102. Not sure
what that does though. Just in case the issue was just my coords, I thought I'd set the drawborder=1, so I could tell
where the areas were, to check. But it didn't draw the circles, so I can't tell.

All names are "AIBaseMission" 

[Kurewe 132]

The names and the IDs of each marker should be unique. I set my IDs to match the ItemXX, as it seemed easier to keep track of.

[5niper 51]

didn't notice that until I actually pasted it here and was looking at the post afterwards. Doh!
thanks...
