Possible to disable heli radar in mission editor?

[Laviski 1]

I would like to disable the radar for the UH-1H for my mission. Is it possible to do it within the mission editor or script?

thx in advance.

Don't think so.... think you need a mod for that but someone else might know more about it.

Nah, needs a mod. There used to be a ShowHud parameter in the description.ext, I think, to disable the whole Hud, but even if that still works, that's not really waht you want, is it.

there is only 2 UH-1H in the air so i will consider anything that will get rid of there advantage of spotting vehicles

if you know the mod that does that at least i have the option.

I currently don't know any addon that does that. Maybe Mando Missiles, I don't remember.

I'd be pretty surprised if nobody had done that though.

Maybe something in this thread can help. Don't know if this is the type of thing you're specifically after, but it's the only one I remember...

Apart from turning off the hud as mentioned which I think is showhud false placed in a description file. You will need to reload the mission to see the effect of any changes made to discription.

You could try and cover the radar with an image but this is a pain (at least for me) it involves dialogues and selecting the right size image.

The only other way I can think of is using a mod, you may find something useful here, look at listings under removed https://dev-heaven.net/projects/pvpscene-tweaks/files

the showhud is great and an easy solution but the only problem is if someone is in a chopper any way of telling a pilot he out or fuel or the rotor taking crit dmg? i've seen this:

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{if (_this select 1=="") then {hintSilent format ["%1",_this select 2]}}]

but would only want pilot to get msg and only when rotor or fuel reach certain lvl.

anyone got any scripts for this. being looking and ain't getting any luck.

since i'm turning off the hud ideally what what i would be looking for is a script to tell driver/pilot that the vehicle is near empty fuel/amunitions and critical dmg. Gonna looking into putting in a service pad at least then they would know its full fueled repaired ammoed up.
