Creating a radio out of object?

[SSgt Decker 4]

Hi,

I'm making a mission that involves reaching a location where a satellite phone is, and using it as a 'radio' to trigger an evac chopper... How would I set this up?

Yes thank you, but i am a noob :cool: when it comes to scripting lol, how would i get the satellite phone to act as a radio to call in a chopper...?

thnx :)

place the object (radio) at the location you desire then make a small trigger around it, group the trigger to the unit you want to call in the chopper and set it for when that unit is present and make the trigger "switch" the choppers waypoint to the location.

not sure if this is what your lookin for but its simple.

Or maybe use the GL4 mod, it has a chopper reinforcment module already in it :)

Well, that depends on how you have set up your Evac.

Basically what addAction will do is to add an action to the Satellite Radio, that a player can click/use.

So, place the Satellite Radio on the editor and add the action in its init line:

this addAction ["Call Evac", "evac.sqf"];

So, when you click the action, evac.sqf will execute, there you can script your Evac for example.

In the init of the object put the following:

this addAction ["Call Heli", "radiocall.sqf"];

Then have a look here mate: http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=47

But I bet there are easier ways.

Ok, I got the action menu to come up, so now how do I link the chopper to the action? Do I have to make a trigger? or type something in the chopper init line?

Hey thanks man, the mission works great, but i need for the action to be able to be used by everybody on the team, not just one guy.

Oh i didn't know? I only have about 8-10 guys. After only seeing that one guy I assumed that was all that could initiate it. I dont know much about how to change that stuff to custom fit it to my mission either... Such as, changing the chopper, or adding a set time for the chopper to come in... :confused:
