Few Random Scripting / Mission Questions

Recommended Posts

So, couple of questions I've been digging around and haven't been able to find anything more detailed on what I'm looking to do for a new mission.

1) Does anyone know if there's any way through game included or add on scripts to allow players to click on a marker on the map and have it bring up the related task info? I know folks can click on tasks, and you can embed links to show the map location marker using <marker name> </marker> in the task description, but I'd love to be able to have the backwards capability of that as well.

2) Good scripts or ideas on how to add civilian ambient life to a mission? Particularly civilian traffic/cars on roads as well as foot traffic in towns. Something that spawns/despawns would be great too so a mission won't get bogged down.

3) There a simple way to listen to all the available in game music/sounds? I've been adding stuff to a trigger and checking them out one at a time, but there's gotta be an easier way.

Hmm, that looks like it'll work perfectly, but I was hoping to find something that didn't require any mods to be pre-installed.

It looks like you know some arma scripting so I'd say check TPW Civs anyway, see what I found in the readme:

In addition to the addon, the mods are provided as scripts which can be run on a per mission basis.

I think that's what you are looking for, they includ a scripts version so you don't need to use it as mod.
