Converting an ARMA 2 script to ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, need some help

[VonNexus 10]

So, basically I'm editing a map to be used in MP and I need an addon-free fastrope script. I found one script made by General Carver for ARMA 2. The problem is, that this script has all set for A2 choppers so I need to modify something and add OA choppers. The script is made of of three files, lot of stuff, so you'll have to read a bit.

This is the first one it's meant to be put in the init and contains all the choppers that can use the script, as you can see I added at the end the vehicle classname of the OA Blackhawk:

gcrsrope1 = "none";
gcrsrope2 = "none";
gcrsrope3 = "none";
gcrsrope4 = "none";
gcrsrope5 = "none";
gcrsrope6 = "none";
gcrsrope7 = "none";
gcrsrope8 = "none";
gcrsrope9 = "none";
gcrsrope10 = "none";
gcrsrope11 = "none";
gcrsrope12 = "none";
gcrsrope13 = "none";
gcrsrope14 = "none";
gcrsrope15 = "none";
gcrsrepelvehicle = "none";
gcrsropedeployed = "false";
gcrsdeployropeactionid = 0;
gcrsdropropeactionid = 0;
gcrsplayerrepelactionid = 0;
gcrsplayerveh = "none";
gcrspilotvehicle = "none";
gcrsrapelvehiclearray = ["MH60S", "MV22", "Mi17_Civilian", "Mi17_Ins", "Mi17_CDF", "Mi17_RU", "Mi17_rockets_RU", 

"Mi24_D", "Mi24_P", "Mi24_V", "UH1Y","UH60M_EP1"];
gcrsrapelheloarray = [];
gcrsplayerveharray = [];

Then , this is the second part of the script that actually deploys the rope. I skipped the first part that only checks the player velocity and defines three variables.

if (_playervehclass == "MH60S") then
{
gcrsrope1 = createVehicle ["FlagCarrierUSA", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
gcrsrope1 setFlagTexture "";
gcrsrope1 attachto [gcrsrepelvehicle,[-1.25,2,-3]];
gcrsrope2 = createVehicle ["FlagCarrierUSA", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
gcrsrope2 setFlagTexture "";
gcrsrope2 attachto [gcrsrepelvehicle,[-1.25,2,-10]];
gcrsrope3 = createVehicle ["FlagCarrierUSA", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
gcrsrope3 setFlagTexture "";
gcrsrope3 attachto [gcrsrepelvehicle,[-1.25,2,-17]];
gcrsrope4 = createVehicle ["FlagCarrierUSA", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

gcrsropedeployed = "true";
hint "Rapel Rope Deployed";
};

The first chopper is the MH60S as the string says, the second string is what I added using the Blackhawk classname.

Then there's a third .sqf file which I'll not post as it simply deletes the rope(actually the "rope" is made of flagpoles attached one to the other) once the player starts to move or selects the action.

Then , to use this script, three triggers are required. Here is what they have in their fields :

First trigger
Condition: local player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && vehicle player in gcrsrapelheloarray && driver vehicle player != 
On Act: gcrsplayerveh = vehicle player; gcrsplayerrepelactionid = gcrsplayerveh addAction ["Rappel from Chopper", "scripts\gcrs\gcrsrepelscript.sqf", "", 0, false, false, "", ""];
On disact: gcrsplayerveh removeaction gcrsplayerrepelactionid

This one checks if the player is alive, if his vehicle is not damaged and if he is in a chopper that is in the gcrsrapeheloarray (that thing in the init)

Another trigger issues the action to drop the rope as soon as it has been deployed and another one forces to drop the rope if the chopper moves too fast.

This is the trigger that actually permits to deploy the rope(checks if the chopper is in the array and if the player and his vehicle sastifie certain conditions):

Condlocal player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && gcrsropedeployed == "false" && typeof vehicle player in gcrsrapelvehiclearray && driver vehicle player == player

On act: local player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && gcrsropedeployed == "false" && typeof vehicle player in gcrsrapelvehiclearray && driver vehicle player == player[

On Deact: local player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && gcrsropedeployed == "false" && typeof vehicle player in gcrsrapelvehiclearray && driver vehicle player == player/CODE]

So this is it, kind of a long post , I know, but I need to figure out how to make this script OA compatible. As you can see I added classnames for the OA in all the files needed, but the action for fastrope doesn't show up, simply.

Thanks in advice for any help you'll give me, please be kind :)

Always post entire scripts, never just snippets. :) You're missing the part where the action is added to the vehicles. Can you post a link to the source of this script, since Google and Armaholic are showing nothing but Norrin's rope addon.

Sorry about that Kylania, I was just afraid to write a book other than a post. However, this is the Armaholic link for the script: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7937

Your trigger condition seems to be different than what's in that demo mission:

local player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && gcrsropedeployed == "false" && typeof vehicle player in gcrsrapelvehiclearray && driver vehicle player == player

[VonNexus 10]

Actually I merged the demo mission with my mission and the trigger condition is correct, I just copied and pasted it wrong on the forum.

Your trigger condition seems to be different than what's in that demo mission:

local player && alive player && damage vehicle player < 1 && gcrsropedeployed == "false" && typeof vehicle player in gcrsrapelvehiclearray && driver vehicle player == player

Have you tied doing what I did (adding classnames of OA choppers) in the script's files Kylania? Does it work to you?

[kylania 567]

Not yet, work has been too busy to boot my game up other than over lunch real quick. After my next meeting I'll try. :)

Thanks Kylania! You're an angel!
