Place satchel on vehicles?

Recommended Posts

hello, i remember i read somewhere that you could put satchels on walls, vehicles, and stuff like that. but i am not able to do anything of that. when i try to put them on vehicles they just happen to be put on the ground instead.. is this a planned feature?

Yup, it was scripted and doesnt have priority now.

That was scripted prototype. Unfortunately this feature wasn't fully implemented and it doesn't have priority now.

It's something that can be abused by friendly fire trolls so I'm guessing it wasn't included for that reason. That's why you have to script it for your mission.

really, if that is a reason. because friendly fire trolls may use it then there is no point in even making this game. hey lets remove a feature because ppls can use it on friendlies. you can drive over friendlies with your tank too

besides noone will ever be using it then since it has to be scripted in. will see it in 1 of 500 servers maybe

You know what? I'm going to make y'all happy :)

Give me a few mins, I'll make a working satchel-to-vehicle system.

I don't think so. Trolls can plant C4 on the ground, trolls can RPG your vehicle, trolls can crash helis. If you go by that logic, trolls can kill everyone in your team one way or another. There is no way BIS would remove this feature just because it could be abused (like almost everything).

This was a feature I was looking forward too, hope they can add it in after release. User created script is not an alternative (well, not for anyone who might want to use it online anyway).

Scripts can be implemented in the mission. Addons cannot.

Im interested in getting AI to trigger place Satchel charges, has any one managed this in A3 yet?

Well, guns can be abused by friendly fire trolls as well, glad they were included anyway. I'd rather say it was a low-priority aspect and therefore not included.

Cool and thanks for doing so quick... Any chance of an AI version for Opfor to stick them to our vehicles as per some form of sabotage??

I imagine it would be possible to command your AI to do it via actions.

Spawn yourself as an explosive specialist diver and place an enemy boat in the water. Have fun :)

Have been looking at it via a script someone else did for A2 but it doesnt seem to want to work with A3, namely because it uses pipe bombs. I would be very keen to be able to get the Enemy AI to attach it to buildings and vehicles via an array of specifics, allowing the sabotage element to be carried in full :) So they can attack your base

Although Its beyond my coding ability :0 i Definitely think it would be a popular option.

heres hoping you give it a try :)

It makes life easier for griefers than those methods - think about it. With the engine does the kill from a satchel register from the trigger man or is the driver blamed as in crashes? Will you know who to kick or will the mass murder be anon?

Only reason I want this to be an official game feature is to attach charges to the hull of a boat while under water. Attaching to cars, what ever.

The explosives cant even be triggered by another explosive, avoiding griefers is not the reason it has been left out.

Shame, nothing I enjoy more than C4ing tin can campers and looked forward to using the feature.
