PvP High Command game

[Propuh 10]

I tried to make one simple PvP game where two players should command with multiple squads, I placed units and synchronized both commanders (blue and red) with High Command module, but it doesn't work...

If I start as Blue commander, my opponent cant get HC icons (ctrl+space) to order his movements, and if I take Red commander my opponent as Blue has same problem.

How can I solve that?

Thanks.

Post your mission so I can see it or send me a PM. ;)

Hey Cobra...

Here it is

You have your high command module grouped to the subordinate modules, they should be synchronized instead of grouped.

Thanks.

By the way it should be (ctrl+spacebar) unless you changed controls around.

Hey it sounds like when corba fix your mission he had some mods running on his pc. You can't play that mission if you don't have the same mod or if you find out what he had on you could try to remove it.

I was not running any Mods but I was running the game in beta. Go into mission.sqm and remove "camisc_e".

It works, thanks again...

I just had to make some corrections, as removing camisc_e, and replacing "FlagCarrierBIS_EP1" with "FlagCarrierUSA" as I dont have it, and it was giving me error message when loading.

But did I make some mess with replacing it?

I hope that I can take this as template for making some HC missions on other places and with other units, and I'll try to make subcommanders playable

Thanks again Cobra, my Mentor :)

Yea Demon, I followed that wiki manual, but forgot to assign subcommand to every commander, as I misunderstand, I thought it's needed when want to place multiple squads, as yellow, green and others.

So my first mission didnt work

Hey Cobra, I dont want to be pain in ass, but I made few changes on HighCommand mission you send me:

- I wanted when OPFOR takes zone, to start counter (yours that you put in ambush mission), and display hint that OPFOR is holding zone, so I made another trigger with parametres, and it works, but there is problem:

when OPFOR enters zone it starts counter, but when leave it, counter continues to tick-tacking, and if BlUFOR comes first, and OPFOR eliminates it, both counters continues to run...

Kinda complex for my knowledge of editing

Not using the same countdown timer and not as pretty but it is working how you stated. I will need to figure out to get the countdown timer script to stop when the units leave the trigger. I can mess with it some more later.

countdown.sqf

private ["_remaining", "_ref", "_timer", "_msg1", "_msg2"];
_timer = _this select 0;
_msg1 = _this select 1;
_msg2 = _this select 2;
_ref = time;

"timerMsg" addPublicVariableEventHandler {[] call showCountdown};
if (isnil "timeFormat") then {
timeFormat = {
	private ["_hours", "_minutes", "_seconds"];
	_hours = 0;
	_minutes = 0;
	_seconds = 0;
	_seconds = _this;
	if (_seconds > 59) then {
		_minutes = floor (_seconds / 60);
		_seconds = _seconds - (_minutes * 60);
	};
	if (_minutes > 59) then {
		_hours = floor (_minutes / 60);
		_minutes = _minutes - (_hours * 60);
	};
	if (_seconds < 10) then {
		_seconds = format ["0%1", _seconds];
	};
	if (_minutes < 10) then {
		_minutes = format ["0%1", _minutes];
	};
	[_hours, _minutes, _seconds]
};
};

if (isnil "showCountdown") then {
showCountdown = {
	hintsilent TimerMsg;
};
};

if (isServer) then {
while {_timer > 0} do {
	_remaining = _timer call timeFormat;
	timerMsg = format ["%1\n\n%2:%3:%4",_msg1, (_remaining select 0), (_remaining select 1), (_remaining select 2)];
	publicVariable "timerMsg";
	if (local player) then {[] call showCountdown};
	_timer = _timer - 1;
	sleep 1;
};
};
timerMsg = _msg2;
publicVariable "timerMsg";
if (local player) then {[] call showCountdown};

Okay I fixed the script it will work with the old countdown script now, download above has been updated.

Here is the countdown script:

/*
Author:		GLT Myke - updated by Cobra4v320.

Title:		Countdown Script

Description:	Script will start a countdown timer using the hint command in the upper right hand corner of the screen. It
		is based off the time you select, side, and trigger. Once the side leaves the trigger the countdown will stop.

Execute With:	_nul = [300, "your message here", East, trigger1] execVM "countdown.sqf"

Parameter(s):
		_this select 0: the amount of time to countdown.
		_this select 1: the message to display in the hint box.
		_this select 2: the side that activates the countdown.
		_this select 3: the trigger that activates the countdown.	
*/


private ["_remaining","_timer","_msg1","_side","_trigger"];

_timer = _this select 0;
_msg1 = _this select 1;
_side = _this select 2;
_trigger = _this select 3;


"timerMsg" addPublicVariableEventHandler {[] call showCountdown};
if (isnil "timeFormat") then {
timeFormat = {
	private ["_hours", "_minutes", "_seconds"];
	_hours = 0;
	_minutes = 0;
	_seconds = 0;
	_seconds = _this;
	if (_seconds > 59) then {
		_minutes = floor (_seconds / 60);
		_seconds = _seconds - (_minutes * 60);
	};
	if (_minutes > 59) then {
		_hours = floor (_minutes / 60);
		_minutes = _minutes - (_hours * 60);
	};
	if (_seconds < 10) then {
		_seconds = format ["0%1", _seconds];
	};
	if (_minutes < 10) then {
		_minutes = format ["0%1", _minutes];
	};
	[_hours, _minutes, _seconds]
};
};

if (isnil "showCountdown") then {
showCountdown = {
	hintsilent TimerMsg;
};
};

if (isServer) then {
while {({side _x == _side} count (list _trigger)) != 0 and _timer != 0} do {
	_remaining = _timer call timeFormat;
	timerMsg = format ["%1\n\n%2:%3:%4",_msg1, (_remaining select 0), (_remaining select 1), (_remaining select 2)];
	publicVariable "timerMsg";
	if (local player) then {[] call showCountdown};
	_timer = _timer - 1;
	sleep 1;
};
};
