Deploy and Load

[zulu1 145]

I need help with a couple of scripts to get them going. They deploy a M2 from a 5t truck and loads it back again.

I thinks it's the _index input for select2 that is giving me problems.

Deploy.sqs

_truck = _this select 0

_someguy = _this select 1

_index = _this select 2

_pos = getpos _someguy

_dir = getdir _someguy

_truck removeaction _index

titletext ["", "Black Out", 1]

~1

_mgun = "M2StaticMG" createvehicle [(getpos _truck select 0)-(sin (getdir _truck)*5),

(getpos _truck select 1)-(cos (getdir _truck)*5), 1.05]

_mgun setdir getdir _truck

~.5

titletext ["", "Black In", 1]

#PackUp

~.1

?(!alive _mgun): exit

_truck = nearestObject [_mgun, "Truck5T"]

?(!alive _truck): goto "PackUp"

?_truck distance _mgun > 5: goto "PackUp"

_load = _mgun addaction ["Load Machine Gun", "Load.sqs"]

#Loop

?_truck distance _mgun > 5: _mgun removeaction _load; goto "PackUp"

?(!alive _mgun): exit

?(!alive _truck): _mgun removeaction _load; goto "PackUp"

~.1

goto "Loop"

Load.sqs

_mgun = _this select 0

_someguy = _this select 1

_index = _this select 2

_mgun removeaction _index

_truck = nearestObject [_mgun, "Truck5T"]

titletext ["", "Black Out", 1]

~1

deletevehicle _mgun

titletext ["", "Black In", 1]

~1

_deploy = _truck addaction ["Deploy Machine Gun", "deploy.sqs"]

#Loop

?(!alive _truck): _truck removeaction _deploy; exit

~.1

goto "Loop"

No serious problems: needed an extra pair of parenthesis around the sin / cos terms and increasing the minimum distance from the truck - you may think you spawn it 5 metres away but that not how the game sees it, for some reason

To start, addAction Deploy.sqs in the truck's init string.

_mgun = "M2StaticMG" createvehicle [((getpos _truck select 0)-((sin (getdir _truck))*5)), ((getpos _truck select 1)-((cos (getdir _truck))*5)), 1.05] 

?_truck distance _mgun > 7.5: goto "PackUp" 

?_truck distance _mgun > 7.5: _mgun removeaction _load; goto "PackUp"
