3 Questions Please Help! :)

[ReStrooke 10]

Hi Guys,

i have 3 questions in SQF.

So here they come:

Q 1:

Is it possible to spawn a bomb with setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, getPos this select 2] and add to the 3 values another value. (Like getPos this select 0 + 20m)

Q 2:

Is it possible to show a picture in a hint?

Q 3:

Is it possible to give the units in a c130j a hint if the c130j is damaged?

I tried:

_unit = _this select 0;

if (getDammage _unit > 0.7) then

{

hint "Engine Dammage: 80%"

};

Problems: it doesn't give me a hint and if it work, it would show the hint to all players in the server.

Thanks for your answers :)

And additional:

The best way to execute the script? :)

1. Sort of, though createVehicle is generally used for that sort of thing:

bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [(getPos this select 0) + x, (getPos this select 1) + x, (getPos this select 2) + x];

If you are only adding an offset on the X-axis, then:

bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [(getPos this select 0) + 20, getPos this select 1, 0];

which will spawn it on the ground 20 meters East of whatever "this" is.

There are also some instances where using getPosATL or getPosASL would be appropriate.

Q2: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/hint <- look at the examples ;)

Q3: You have to remotely execute the hint on all players in the plane. Use RE, publicVariable/publicVariableEventHandler or setVehicleInit/processInitCommands.

There are several topics about remote execution of scripts in this forum, I'm sure you'll find a method which will work for you :)

I'm veeeeery new to arma 2 scripting... :D

I don't get it with "remote execution". :D

And how do i get the "main" script to work?

So in this case this part:

_unit = _this select 0;

if (getDammage _unit > 0.7) then

{

--- SCRIPT ---

};

Hmm okay the easiest would be using RE, but everytime I post something using RE someone pops up refuting it, saying some really meaningfull things I already forgot xD

_unit = _this select 0;

if (getDammage _unit > 0.7) then
{
   {
       if (isPlayer _x) then {
           [nil,_x,"loc",rHINT,format ["Engine Damage: %1 %", str ((getDammage _unit) * 100)]] call RE;
       };
   } forEach (crew _unit);
};
