Target System [Beta]

[MacRae 12]

Hey Guys,

Im needing your help guys!

What i'm looking for is a way to create a target system

Similar to The UNA Target system that was in Arma 2

So if your not fimiliar to the UNA Target system is that you shoot at a target and as you hit it it registers where your shots are placed

so when you have finished shooting you can go and check your score

If anyone can sort this out for me it would be awesome!

Thanks

~MacRae~

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

I know you can make the game show where damage was taken on a body part of a unit... not sure of how to do it atm, need to look it up... i'll try to get you something...

There's already some kind of targeting thing like that built into the game, you can see it in early press demos. I thought I'd read that they were gonna bring it back too, but not sure.

You could add a fired eventhandler to the unit and wait until the bullet has hit the target, then convert the bullet's position to the modelspace position of the target and attach a helper object to that location.

As kylania said im sure ive read somewhere aswell that the devs want to implement this in the firing ranges.

Just thinking out aloud but something along the lines of:-

Add a fired event handle to the player.

When they fire keep checking the projectiles position until its null.

Get the worldtomodel offest from the closest target or a target that has registered as animating/hit.

Then you would need to spend some time working out positions on the target to compare the offset to.

Add some score to the player dependant on area hit.

or

If targets already have HitPart/Selections in their models

Set a HitPart EVH on each target.

Dependant on which part is hit add a score to the player.

Other than a quick think through like that ive really not investigated whats included with the target models.

Heres a very quick very messy not very accurate example :D

this addEventHandler ["HitPart",{
parts = [["Helmet",[-0.13623,0.0012207,6.98916],[0.102539,0.00244141,7.13556],1],
			["Face",[-0.0693359,0.00109863,6.85182],[0.0673828,0.0012207,6.9749],10],
			["LeftArm",[-0.316406,0.0012207,6.29343],[-0.15332,0.0012207,6.93634],2],
			["RightArm",[0.124023,0.000976563,6.35337],[0.29834,0.00109863,6.85105],4],
			["Torso",[-0.12207,0.0012207,6.32697],[0.0996094,0.00109863,6.79745],6],
			["LeftLeg",[-0.250977,0.000976563,5.82256],[0.000488281,0.0012207,6.25414],3],
			["RightLeg",[-0.0126953,0.00134277,5.83468],[0.276367,0.0012207,6.27613],3]];;
{
	_Tpoints = player getVariable ["points",0];
	_done = false;
	_shot = ((_x select 0) worldToModel  (_x select 3));
	_shotX = _shot select 0;
	_shotY = _shot select 1;
	_shotZ = _shot select 2;
	_dummy = _x select 0;
	{
		_desc = _x select 0;
		_min = _x select 1;
		_minX = _min select 0;
		_minY = _min select 1;
		_minZ = _min select 2;
		_max = _x select 2;
		_maxX = _max select 0;
		_maxY = _max select 1;
		_maxZ = _max select 2;
		_points = _x select 3;
		if ( ((_shotX > _minX) && (_shotX < _maxX)) &&
				((_shotZ > _minZ) && (_shotZ < _maxZ)) ) then {
					_dist = player distance _dummy;
					_Dpoints = (_points * (_dist / 10 ));
					_Tpoints = _Tpoints + _Dpoints;
					hint format["Desc: %1\nPoints: %3\nDistance: %2\nPoints @ Dist: %4\nTotal Score: %5",_desc,_dist,_points,_Dpoints,_Tpoints];
					player setVariable ["points",_Tpoints];
					_done = true;
				};
	}forEach parts;
	if (!(_done)) then { hint "You Missed"; };

}forEach _this;
}];

test mission

Larrow Thank you so much!

but do you think that there is a way so that for another course i need is that

if a player hits the target anywhere (do not matter about scoring here)

that i get a message saying "Hit"

And obiously if they miss i wont get a message atall?

[Larrow 2823]

Something as simple as

this addEventHandler ["HitPart",{hint "Target Hit";}];

will give you feedback about hitting the target. Again all very WIP but ive updated the test mission with a UNA alike target. Still needs a little centering and the textures are shit :D need to work on some actions, maybe a UI and then get it working over over MP properly :/

[MacRae 12]

so do i add this to the player that i want the feedback to go to?

[Larrow 2823]

No that was just to stick on the target, as i said above this was all just a proof of concept (something to keep me busy this evening) and really needs looking into more as theres most likely all sorts of problems when not using this in editor preview.

[MacRae 12]

Yeah thanks for everything, but is there any way for the message saying where you hit,

was sent not to you, but say a Drill instructor unit member. Because im using this as a test so if the person shooting can only see it they can lie

whether or not they hit it or not.
