Creating Hostage Rescue/HVT Arrest Script

[Wire 0]

Heya, I am on the last leg of getting this all done, cept i need alil hand.

Im not good at scripting at all, and am looking for experts to compile this and make it working.

1) I have "hos1" who i want to addaction to. Once I approach about 3-5m of him, an action appears on him that allows me to click it entitled "Rescue Hostage"

2) Once the action is clicked, a soundclip will play (which Ive recorded). It will sound like a guy yelling "hands in the air" etc. The soundclip is called "rescue.ogg"

3) After I clicked his addaction and the sound played, he joins my team, joinsilent.

Its a very simple script, cept i havent got a clue how to configure it to work.

Can anyone help please?

I've always had problems with using the addaction command, I can't get rid of it afterwards. What you want to do is pretty simple.

Without using the addaction, I'd place a trigger with the condition:

player distance hos1 < 3

and in the activation field:

nul = [] execvm "rescue.sqf"

Create a rescue.sqf file in your mission folder and the script should be something like this:

playsound "rescue";

sleep 3;

hos1 joinassilent [players name, 5];

exit

The 5 is the number the hos1 will become in your group, I'm just assuming you've got a 4 man rescue team, change this number as required.

I'd also search the forum for hostage rescue threads, there are quite a few. A few months ago I helped someone out with a similar problem and posted an example mission.

That should be what you're looking for.

Edit: Example.

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {};
 class engine_ignition
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {"malfunction\engine_ignition.wav", 0.05, 1};
  titles[] = {};
 };

 class engine_shut
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {"malfunction\engine_shut.wav", 0.05, 1};
  titles[] = {};
 };
};
