do you think you could make it have a hard top? or would that involve customly making it?.

[LemTheGentleman 11]

That would have to be custom

Only "issue" with it was that the lights aren't resembling cones.

OMG, thats ugly.

I made a few changes, thats make it more real-looklike

Cjoke, how would one go about Calling your script for a vehicle?

... or anyone else who might have an idea on how to do it :D?

Edited August 6, 2013 by Tand3rsson

[CJoke 11]

@ Tand3rsson: I don't know if I understand what you mean...

anyway here is the code to create a policar:

create a marker on Map called "CarPos"

_pos = getMarkerPos "CarPos";
_carobj = "C_Offroad_01_F" createVehicle (_pos);
_carobj setDir (markerDir "CarPos");
sleep 0.3;
_carobj animate ["HidePolice", 0]; 
_carobj animate ["HideServices", 1]; 
_carobj animate ["HideBackpacks", 1]; 
_carobj animate ["HideBumper1", 1]; 
_carobj animate ["HideBumper2", 0]; 
_carobj animate ["HideConstruction", 0]; 
_carobj animate ["HideDoor1", 0];  
_carobj animate ["HideDoor2", 0]; 
_carobj animate ["HideDoor3", 0]; 
_carobj animate ["HideGlass2", 0];		
_carobj setObjectTexture [0,"\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE03_CO.paa"]; //Carcolor Blue

[_carobj,0.25] spawn fnCJ_PoliceBlink; //Make it Bling

Thank you, I have a finished car in editor which I want to make put on sirens after a while. So, I save your script as "fnCJ_PoliceBlink.sqf" in the mission folder, correct so far?

Then in the trigger I put [carName, 0.25] spawn fnCj_PolceBlink;

Would this work? Cause if I do it like you have above, the sirens will be on from the start.

Tested, did not get it to work

EDIT:

Ok, I solved it to work like I needed.

First I pasted the whole fnCj_policeBlink into my init.sqf.

Then i created a simple policelights.sqf:

_carobj = _this select 0;

[_carobj,0.25] spawn fnCJ_PoliceBlink;

So when I wanted it to switch on lights I have a trigger:

on act: null = [carName] execVm "policelights.sqf"

THANK YOU for your help man!

I aint all that bright

[Vexor 10]

cursorTarget animate ["HidePolice", 0];
cursorTarget animate ["HideServices", 1];
cursorTarget animate ["HideBackpacks", 1];
cursorTarget animate ["HideBumper1", 1];
cursorTarget animate ["HideBumper2", 1];
cursorTarget animate ["HideConstruction", 1];
[color="#FF0000"]cursorTarget animate ["BeaconsStart", 1];[/color]

Now you only need to broadcast the animation to your clients!

[kylania 568]

Nice find Vexor, that does work for the lights! Excellent!

[trent 14]

Is it just the offroad that has these functions? There was a mention of a Hunter Riot Police in the files.

[GefrBachmann 1]

Sorry guys I am new to editing and just couldn´t figure out where I need to put this PHP codes and scripts? In the init field of the offroad?

[kylania 568]

Here's how to do the Police Offroad:

Init of the Offroad:

_police = this execVM "policeOffroad.sqf";

policeOffroad.sqf:

/*
File: policeOffroad.sqf
Author: Adapted from code by pettka

Description:
Sets proxies for the car to police, adds actions for sirens.

Parameter(s):
None

Returns:
Nothing
*/

if (isServer) then {
_this animate ["HidePolice", 0];
_this animate ["HideServices", 1];
_this animate ["HideBackpacks", 1];
_this animate ["HideBumper1", 1];
_this animate ["HideBumper2", 0];
_this animate ["HideConstruction", 0];
};

_this setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];

_this setObjectTexture [1, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];

_this addAction ["Beacons On",{(_this select 0) animate ["BeaconsStart",1]},[],50,false,true,"","_target animationPhase 'BeaconsStart' < 0.5 AND Alive(_target) AND driver _target == _this"];
_this addAction ["Beacons Off",{(_this select 0) animate ["BeaconsStart",0]},[],51,false,true,"","_target animationPhase 'BeaconsStart' > 0.5 AND Alive(_target) AND driver _target == _this"];

[GefrBachmann 1]

Ah okay, I have to save the sqf filein the missions folder. Thank you very much!

[magicpanda 19]

Never mind I'm an idiot.

Nice job on finding this :)

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Kylania how would you add a say3d action to that (providing everything is set up in description etc. Been scratching my head to no avail.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

I can add the action ok.

this addAction ["Siren", "siren.sqf", "", 0, false, false, "", "_this in _target"];

siren.sqf isnt working.

_police say3d "siren";

[Brain 12]

Is there a way to get the black offroad with police lights, backpacks and stuff on the model + the .50 BMG on it?

[kylania 568]

Doesn't look like the sirens work on the armed offroad for some reason.

[GefrBachmann 1]

I tried to set a color for my car but it didnt work. i put this into the init field of an empty offroad:

this setObjectTexture ["\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE05_CO.paa" ]

[kylania 568]

You missed a 0. :)

this setObjectTexture [[color="#FF0000"]0,[/color] "\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE05_CO.paa"][color="#FF0000"];[/color]

[Magirot 14]

Furthermore, at least before, they didn't work directly from the object init, since Bohemia's randomisation script runs right after that. Larrow posted a simple workaround using spawn earlier in this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?156120-Setting-Color-of-Offroad&p=2408318&viewfull=1#post2408318

I guess a script executes late enough as well, since people have been using them without problems?

[GefrBachmann 1]

Thanks for replying guys but--

I don´t get it. I tried it with these codes but it didn´t work. It spawned in another color and changed with every respawn :D What I need is a car that stays the same color, no matter what it is, no matter how often a mission is restarted.

All the vehicle textures changed with the last classname changes

"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_co.paa",        //red
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_BASE01_CO.paa",  //yellow
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_BASE02_CO.paa",  //white
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_BASE03_CO.paa",  //blue
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_BASE04_CO.paa",  //darkred
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]\Data\Offroad[color="#FF0000"]_01[/color]_ext_BASE05_CO.paa"   //darkblue

[kylania 568]

As Magirot said in his link, you need to set the color after the vehicle spawns to override the random settings.

_null = this spawn {_this setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad_01\Data\Offroad_01_ext_BASE05_CO.paa"]};

[GefrBachmann 1]

Sorry I am new to editing around in games :) It however worked now and I owe you my thanks!
