Help with suicide bomber script

[daimyo21 2]

OK so I got this suicide bomber script working like a charm and im trying to make it work better with vehicles moving attacking the player.

So far the moving vehicles work well when the vehicle is named. So heres the code and Ill explain

Civilian/Vehicle Ini code: [This, victim] exec SMAT.SQS

//Smat = the civ/vehicle, and Target is now looking for a target named "victim"

_SMAT = _This Select 0

_Target = _This Select 1

@ ((_SMAT KnowsAbout _Target) > 1) || (! (Alive _SMAT))

? (! (Alive _SMAT)) : Exit

_SMAT SetUnitPos "Up"

_SMAT SetSpeedMode "Full"

_SMAT SetCombatMode "Red"

_SMAT SetBehaviour "Careless"

_Speak = False

#Loop

_SMAT DoMove GetPos _Target

? ((_SMAT Distance _Target) < 14) || (! (Alive _SMAT)) && (Random 10 > 1) : GoTo "Explosion"

? (! (Alive _SMAT)) : Exit

~ (10 + random 1.5)

GoTo "Loop"

#Explosion

_Ammo = ["grenade"]

_Rnd = Random ((Count _Ammo) - 0.001)

_Bomb = _Ammo Select (_Rnd - (_Rnd Mod 1))

_Bomb createvehicle GetPos _SMAT

"Grenade" createvehicle GetPos _SMAT

Exit

*Basically I want to know if there is a way to make the civ "SMat" Target all or any kind of BLUFOR unit including vehicles manned by blufor or US soldiers etc etc.

Ive tried adding [This, BLUFOR or BIS_US etc etc but it just declares those as the unit name.

Any help or advice would be great that uses this script. I know I can place triggers near non-moving cars/civs for blufor but as for individual units that charge the player, I want them to charge all blufor and not just the ones with names victim1, 2, 3, 4

Noob question...Can you explain how I can put this in one of my missions? I would like to "not" know where or when it is going to happen.

Cheers.

well so far if u have ambient civilian module working, its hard to spot civilians running or civilian like players running at u as they run around/away and then back in this script. What im trying to figure outis how to make 1 single civilian target all types of blufor, player or not... so I dont have to add 5 civilians and set there targets to each person in my squad so civ1 = teammate1, civ2 = teammate2 etc.. more realistic if I were to run near abomber and he doesnt explode but suddenly player2 runs near me and we both blow up... etc

Here's a version of a "random hunter killer suicide bomber" script. The best part is if called right, you'll never know who the bomber is till it might be too late. :)

Call the script from a Trigger to pick a random bomber:

nul = [thislist select floor(random count thislist), WEST, 7, 20, true, true] execVM "hkRandom.sqf";

or from a unit's init field to specify the bomber:

nul = [this] execVM "hkRandom.sqf";

There are optional arguments for the side to attack, percentage chance to attack once a target is found, range to start looking for targets within, whether or not to warn the group that's being attacked and an optional sound file to be played by the attacking bomber.

MarketDay is a demo mission where you can see this script in action. Here's the code:

//  nul = [thislist select floor(random count thislist), WEST, 7, 50] execVM "hkRandom.sqf";
//
//  Called from a unit's init, 100% chance to attack EAST units within 100m with a warning and shout.
//  nul = [this, EAST, 10, 100, true, true];
//
//  Default, attacking WEST targets 30% of the time within 20m warning the group but not yelling out a shout.
//  nul = [this] execVM "hkRandom.sqf";
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

_prob = if (count _this > 2) then {_this select 2} else {3};  // Probilitiy of attack once a target is found, Number 1 - 10, higher = more chance.  Default 3 (30% chance or so);

Do you mind if he shows up as an enemy?

On solution would be to pick some of the militiamen that look like civilians and take away their guns.
