Group Manager

[aeroson 8]

Sorry. For now, iam no longer willing to support this (no time, no money). Though i will gladly accept any pull requests on github.

 

You can use Bohemia Interactive's groups manager: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dynamic_Groups

 

 

Summary / info
Hold T and use scrollwheel to see squad manager menu
You can invite others, request to join, or join squad based on squad options
You can also leave squad, kick members or take leadership if you have better score than current squad leader
Potential targets is either cursorTrager and/or everyone within 5m range

Will give it a try.

but quick question :)

Does it show AI groups as well as player groups and if so is it possible to edit out AI groups ?

[aeroson 8]

You can join AI groups (not if they are UAV crew).

If you want to edit out AI groups open up group_manager.sqf

And change line 649 from

side _x == side player && group _x != group player

to

side _x == side player && group _x != group player && isPlayer _x

I'm really loving the Functionality with this! Most stuff on your GitHub is just Gold!

The only thing this is missing is a prettier Dialog instead of AddActions (even though the KeyEventhandler is a nice way).

Xeno had a pretty neat Screen/Graphic in his Group Management, though it is lacking the functionality yours has.^^

cheers.

looks awesome.

nice work on making the chemlights fit into one file - I had worked on that to help out sc0rc3d and just could not get away from all the scripts.

Now I'm going to have to see how you made it so damn efficient

edit: Aeroson it looks like you get an unlimited number of chemlights - any chance of adding it back in so it uses whatever is in your gear? maybe with a mission parameter?

group_manager.sqf v1.6

- Fixed: bug in squad options

[x3djokerx 1]

Usage

in (client's) init:

0 = [] execVM 'group_manager.sqf';

what do you mean by the "clients init" ? Do you mean the init.sqf in the mission folder? would love to give this a try. Or are you meaning the init line of a unit placed on the map?

[KevsNoTrev 44]

Client's init is either the part of the init.sqf after waituntil {!isserver && player == player} (or something like that)

or in a separate script run to initialise the client but based on the same check

[aeroson 8]

Yes init.sqf in the mission folder.

It's just a hint that this script runs only on client. Don't worry though it does it's own check.

This looks awesome! Is there any way to add "rename squad"? Thanks!

Is there any way of disabling the HUD display of who is in the car when you are in? I find it very disturbing because it's in the middle of the screen, much more in aircrafts. I can't find any paramter in the script. Is it possible?

Never seen with group manager

Never seen with group manager

I am talking about this:

Any way of disabling this? If you haven't seen this, it must be possible, but i don't find the line to set this off. Hope it is possible.

For me it's not in this script...

Maybe i'm wrong, but...

Maybe my team is using an old version of the script, but i am sure it's the aeroson one.

I would love to hear aeroson about this...

@fond: There is no such feature in this group manager script. It must be something else.
