Hi AYJAY I was wondering if you could help me a little. I'm trying to use the Low level pan shot.

I have placed every thing in the editor what i need. i have camera2, cameratarget2, pantarget 1 & 2.

What do i need in the init.sqf and description.ext?

One other thing how do i remove the hint at the start?

Hi hellstorm,

Sounds like you are almost there.

Firstly, make sure you have the arjay folder in your mission folder.

Next make sure you have included the ARJay LIB kickstart in your init.sqf

// ARJAY LIB SETUP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// inlcude the arjay script library
#include "arjay\arjay_kickstart.sqf"

Also make sure you have the actual trigger in your mission, and not just the red sphere.

To get rid of the hint, click on the effects button at the bottom of the trigger dialog and change the TYPE to none.

thanks this will be really useful ! downloading it right now

one question , all people show how to make a custom load out and this is good but there is a thing I cant find out how to make it work in Multy

and it is , How to give the players customfaces ? because the command "this setface" putted in the init seems not working

I have no problem adding the weapons , uniforms , items I want but I' am having problems settings the face I want , it works only in the editor but then in Multy looks broken , seems it give priority to the profile face of the various human players over the set face command

thanks

Hi Hazzard,

This library is focused on single player development currently, I can't help you with the setface, as I haven't played with it much.

I have updated the library to improve the simple task system. That should be it for updates for a while, I will post another example mission that shows the task system shortly.

Test mission posted forum post here

This should become a standard download for anyone interested in scripting - truly awesome!

I have similar function missions but not as good or as comprehensive. Great tip on using the helper sphere to mark triggers, never thought of it before. I have always marked the corners with traffic cones which is tedious and unsightly.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the praise guys, I've been so busy scripting I haven't even made a mission yet :) - If anyone uses the library in their missions, I would love to see the end result.
