ARMA 2 - BOOBY TRAP

ported booby traps for ARMA form RAVEN





nIrBnD5Gstw

One guy did a nice booby traps addon for ARMA. I decided port it into ARMA 2. So.. here is this addon. Totally reworked all scripts and models. Works in MP. Works in ARMA 2/ARMA 2 CO. Not tested in OA, but i think it must work.

Note: This addon add specific action in action menu. But not for all units. Only for Spec-Ops, Snipers, Officers and Engineers. If you want add this action to another unit, then you must add this string in unit's init: "this setVariable ["DAP_EXPLOSIVE_SPECIALIST",1];"

Current version 1.1

Changelog:

- Fixed: Errors in stringtable.csv.

- Added: Module version

Credits:

RAVEN - author of original booby traps for ARMA

Requires: Comunity Base Addons (For AUTO-version ONLY)

Cool !

Can it be disabled by engineers (or others) ?

Yes, they can :)

Now ..... can AI autoplace them inside doorways, or find them and disable (very similar to your first aid addon )?

Would be cool if they could, although ONLY useful if the enemy unit was INSIDE the building at the time, and remembered to remove it before going through the door :)

Not so fast, pal :D Main problem - default AI. How prevent moving right in trap for other allied units? How change pathfinding for units, which set the trap? How protect AI unit, which set his own trap? Too many "How" :) Yes, all this tasks can be solved. But it will be hard for CPU. Too many conditions, too many variables, too many actions. Also it must works in MP. Additional load. That why i disable this action for AI :)

Hello DAP

I apologize for my English translated by Google translation.

I am delighted that you have updated this addon Raven ARMA2.

I noted an error in the file stringtable.csv. Indeed, it appears that traps with the same length, so that we can put all three dimensions (1.50m & 3.00m & 5.00m).

Then I just can not disable a trap.

Again there must be some mistake, I think because I do not see the menu appear to disable the trap.

Can you inform me on how to proceed, or else can you fix this?

Thank you for your work.

Thanks for report :) Error in stringtable already fixed :) About disabling traps... make sure that your soldier is SpecOp, Sniper, Officer or Engineer and use mouse wheel :) "Defuse" action is hidden by default ;)

Hello DAP :)

In fact, after many tests today, I realize that the trap is laying too close to the installer and the result is that it explodes when the installer wants to move away.

I still have not been able to disable a trap.

I followed the advice for employment: (SpecOps, Sniper, and Engineer Officer or use mouse wheel.) :o

This addon don't use any default variables from BIS. Only own variables. No FSM or something else. Just few independent scripts. I don't think that problem in this addon. May be something else.

Added in new version.

What language? Maybe you just can't see action in actions menu? Current stringtable.csv supports two languages: English and Russian. Maybe your localization not support those languages?

Sorry for the noob question but I assume this has to be on the server and client machine?

Has anyone tested it in OA yet?

Thanks! Awesome addon!

1 hand grenade = 1 trap :) So.. how many grenades you have, so much traps you can place.

Hi DAP,

Using the Autoinit version, I get an error about missing models. So, when I set the trap, nothing shows up, but the trap can still be set off.
