Smartphone/videophone gps in mission

[Kerikus 10]

Hi all,

how can I make in mission GPS like in PMC official campaign? Thanks

Looks to me like that's just a graphical change for the GPS device itself; though I haven't played PMC yet.

Are you asking how to create that from scratch or how to give that existing PMC device to one of your players?

[Mr. Charles 22]

It is in the functions viewer. I will post a proper answer, when I am at home ;)

1- Place function module

2- In your init file write this : waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

["ca\missions_pmc\data\ui_gps_ca.paa",-0.05,0.16] call bis_fnc_customGPS;

3- In your description file write this : onMinimapScript[] = {"BIS_fnc_customGPS_Spawn"};

and you will have the new gps as in the picture :)

Thanks alot, also works with:

1.add function libraly on map and into inicial. whrite ["ca\missions_pmc\data\ui_gps_ca.paa",-0.05,0.16] call bis_fnc_customGPS;

2.place trigger and into incial. put this ["ca\missions_pmc\data\ui_gps_ca.paa",-0.05,0.16] call bis_fnc_customGPS;

Yes it same code, but is simple way and works too. (I don't know why) Isn't this nice PDA? :-)

This is a great little number ^^ Was wondering about this just today. Sweet hehe...

I just began thinking. In the first mission of the PMC campaign you watch a small clip over your Smartphone (I do not know if it shows up more in the campaign. Haven't made it too far) and you see someone talking. I was wondering how one would create the same effect?

On this page - http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:ArmA_2:_Functions is function gps video.

Sry for not answering yesterday. Do a search on the bi wiki with "bis fnc" to find more scripts like sandstorm, flies, crowes etc.
