norrin's ArmA2 scripts ported to ArmA3

crazydeviant · January 6, 2013

Hello! I'm trying to get this script to work with manned vehicles in the gunnery and passenger positions. However, when I'm in the gunnery position, the vehicle refuses to move. Is this intended or a bug of the code? I'd like to make it so that players can man the turrets of the escort vehicles in a form of shooting gallery.

Thanks! :)

EDIT: Also, I'd like to disable the AI from exiting the vehicle(s), and to simply continue driving. Is there a way to do this?

while i do not know if this is the 'best', but what i did was to put a trigger at the end waypoint with it re-starting the convoy.

start = wp1,wp2,wp3,wp4 - v1,v2,v3

return = wp3, wp2, wp1 - v1,v2,v3 (yes, wp4 is missing)

i created a trigger and put in it "[] exec start.sqs"

start.sqs calls the execvm script which is in the init.sqf

i do not use the init file as i have the convoy starting via a trigger which the lead vehicle is sitting in. it will also work via a radio trigger too.

to be honest, i have not tried it completely out as the 'trip' is quit long, however, it should work just fine.

it does make it to the end of the 'first half' though...

:)

what will NOT work, is using this script on more than one convoy. even if you rename the convoy script folder to something else, it will not work. as i am not an 'expert' on scripts, it appears he/she is using 'global variables' which means when convoyscript1 is running, convoyscript2 will 'pick up' those values from script1.

i have 2 convoys, one will run, the other will just stand still due to this....and it is RANDOM as to which one will run and which will sit still...so be warned...

First, thank you for your script :)

Now to my question.

In your sample mission for example,

If I play with one ai player enabled, say, player "s2", play as player "s1" myself, then disable "s3" and "s4", everything appears to work in game fine.

However, the arma3.rpt file will fill up with errors from the disabled ai that are not being used and just keep repeating over and over, making a rather large error log.

I would like to use this revive script with 8-24 player missions with ai disabled. At times only a few random slots will be filled by human players and the remaining slots will be disabled.

I'm concerned about the performance with the server having to deal will all these errors. Is there a way to prevent this error from happening?

Here is a short 15 second or so rpt log below
