VIP "Panic Button"

[Sc0rc3d 1]

Hi Guys,

i am sorry that i need to open a new Thread for such a small thing. :rolleyes:

But the search did not bring me further. I make a VIP Escort Mission at the moment.

Yesterday Evening my Girlfriend forced me to watch Bodyguard with her. And in one scene

was there a Panic Button to alert the Bodyguards. I find that idea very nice for my mission.

I find a panic button is an interesting thing and i would like to realize it for the mission.

The Idea is if the VIP sees an Enemy or something strange. He could Alert all Units in ~ 5miles or the

hole "Security Force" on the Ground and in the Air. But how? ;)

I will give the VIP an Action Menu Entry like:

stID1 = this addAction [  (""<t color=""""#c50b0b"""">"" + (""OShitSomeOneWillKillMe"") + ""</t>""),  ""xxx = true""  ];

In der init.sqf

[] spawn {
 while {not isnull vip} do { trig1 attachto[vip,[0,0,0]]; sleep 0.5; };
};

And a Trigger on the map "trig1" with:

con: xxx

on act: _handle = player execVM "alert.sqf";

"alert.sqf"

hint "VIP Alert";
sleep 30;

should that be work? :j:

greetings

Doesn't look like it will work.

Here is how I would do it

VIP unit init line:

if(local this) then {this addAction ["Alert!", "alert.sqf"];};

alert.sqf:

[nil, nil, rHINT, "VIP needs help!"] call RE;

You need to have Functions module added into mission.

Thank you for your quick response.

The Functions module is active on the map for the BIS_fnc_Infotext.

The rHINT is not so nice because the Enemy (Takistani civilians "Terrorists") be true human players. ;)

Can i set rHINT == west or something? And the "Panic Button" needs to be pressed mybee many times.

alert.sqf:

{
if((playerSide == side _x) && (player distance _x < 4000)) then {
	[nil, _x, "loc", rHINT, "VIP needs help!"] call RE;
};
} forEach playableUnits;

This will show hint to all players which has VIP's side and within 4 kilometers

Action can be used as many times as you want.
