Popup Target hitmarker

[joejoe87577 10]

Hello everyone,

I've been looking around for a script that tells me where a popup target has been hit.

Just like in this mission from ArmA 1:

Link to armaholic

I couldn't extract the pbo file with elitness or cpbo (I couldn't get it running on my system). It would help a lot if anyone could extract the file and post it right here.

I've already made contact with the mission author, but he has not written any scripts for a long time, so he could not help me with that.

Kind regards,

Joejoe

[NOTE: I don't have ArmA1 so can't check how the mission above represents the hit markers, but I'll jump in anyway!]

I knew I had a script that I used to do something similar during alpha/beta, but had to find it and then check that it still worked. I've checked this on the current dev build only, so YMMV.

To test simply create two targets in the editor. Name one anything you like and add the init: This addEventHandler ["HitPart", "_this execVM 'Scripts\Range\Accuracy.sqf'"];

(Check the path on that init and change as needed.)

The second target is named 'pt1_0'. No init needed. You can 'this allowDamage false;' if you have to ;-)

create the marker: Empty > Objects (Helpers) > Sphere (10cm)

and name it 'Hit_Ind'. It can be placed anywhere on the map as it's position is what is updated.

You'll already have placed down someone to shoot at the target, right?!

Copy and save the code below to a file: Accuracy.sqf

Save and preview in the editor.

// Accuracy Marker using "HitPart" Event Handler

//target: Object - Object that got injured/damaged.
//shooter: Object - Unit that inflicted the damage. If injured by a vehicle impact or a fall the target itself is returned, or, in case of explosions, the null object. In case of explosives that were planted by someone (e.g. satchel charges), that unit is returned.
//bullet: Object - Object that was fired.
//position: Position3D - Position the bullet impacted (ASL).
//velocity: Vector3D - 3D speed at which bullet impacted.
//selection: Array - Array of Strings with named selection of the object that were hit.
//ammo: Array - Ammo info: [hit value, indirect hit value, indirect hit range, explosive damage, ammo class name] OR, if there is no shot object: [impulse value on object collided with,0,0,0]
//direction: Vector3D - vector that is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the surface struck. For example, if a wall was hit, vector would be pointing out of the wall at a 90 degree angle.
//radius: Number - Radius (size) of component hit.
//surface: String - Surface type struck.
//direct: Boolean - true if object was directly hit, false if it was hit by indirect/splash damage.

Hopefully this will get you where you want to go...

Cheers.

Spelling, grammar

I came up with something similar:

place a "Simple Target" (class "Target_F") on your range and put this in the init:

this addEventHandler ["HitPart", {_spr = "Sign_Sphere10cm_F" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _spr setPosASL (_this select 0 select 3);}];

this worked on vehicles and other signs too.

Very simple & elegant solution there, Falsche.

I've filed that little nugget away for a rainy day.

[joejoe87577 10]

I'll give it a try and make a quick sample mission.

Almost the right Thing. But what I wanted was this:

(bottom right corner)

I've no idea how this works. I've done some dialogs, but i don't now how to make that sort of hint/Dialog.

I've made a sample Mission and uploaded it to my skydrive: http://sdrv.ms/1gQcEMo

I don't know much about dialogues but why not just have a live PIP view of the target?

This will create a target at the distance in the direction the player is facing:

nul = [50] execVM "target.sqf";

_dist = _this select 0;

_tgtPos = player modelToWorld [0,_dist,0];
_tgt = createVehicle ["Target_F", _tgtPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_dir = [player,_tgt] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;
_tgt setDir _dir;
_tgt addEventHandler ["HitPart", {_mkr = "Land_PencilRed_F" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _mkr enableSimulation false; _mkr setPosASL (_this select 0 select 3);}];

_obj = createVehicle ["Sign_Sphere10cm_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_obj setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)"];
_obj setPos (_tgt modelToWorld [0,-0.5,1]);
_camPos = ([0,0,0]);

[] call BIS_fnc_PIP;
sleep 1;
_targ_pip = ["rendertarget0",[[_obj,_camPos],_tgt],_obj] call BIS_fnc_PIP;
_targ_pip camCommit 0;

//assistance to find the target - can be hard to spot in the terrain
_wp = (group player) addWaypoint [_tgtPos, 0];
_wp setWaypointType "MOVE";

_arrow = createVehicle ["Sign_Arrow_Large_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_arrow setPosATL [_tgtPos select 0,_tgtPos select 1, 2];

Picture of result:

Thanks, this works for me. But there are two Problems remaining.

The 1fst one is rather easy, how do I destroy/remove/disable the PiP? I've tried "camDestroy", "deleteVehicle" on the "_obj" and on the "rendertarget0". But it doesn't work. How do i remove the PiP?

And the 2nd one is that the PiP Picture doesn't Show the same as the live view does.

On the Picture the Little sphere on the popup target Shows where the bullet hit. But on the PiP there is no sphere, i've also tried it with a IR Laser at night. same result, I aim for the "head" but the laser in the PiP Shows a completly different Position.

I've uploaded the example Mission to my skydrive: Link

Grab a weapon from the VirtualAmmoBox and go to one of the Shooting positions, the PiP will appear, as soon as you leave the Shooting Position (the hint "false" appears), the pip should disappear.

[Mattar_Tharkari 6]

[] call BIS_fnc_PIP;

Will remove the PIP - notice I put it in my script to remove any existing PIPs?

Camera is blind to helper objects which is why I use red pencils in the script. If you need something larger use red gull cans ("Land_Can_V3_F")?

[joejoe87577 10]

Ok, next time i'll read the whole script. Thanks

Thanks for this....it works well in creating the markers on targets.....

I've been trying to figure out how to use deleteVehicle to get rid of the _spr = "Sign_Sphere10cm_F" vehicles created by this..... but with no success.

Assuming I put this in a Simple Target..... how would you recommend setting up an addAction or trigger to delete the vehicles created after finishing firing on the target so I could then re-engage a clean target ?

I appreciate the Code you provided and wonder what you would recommend.... I have been googling an searching numerous resources for about a week + to try to figure it out myself via markers, triggers, ini box inputs etc etc.

s/f & Thanks for anything you can provide

you could create an array , you will only need ary=[]; in one target or game logic or it will mess up, it just needs it to create the variable.

ary=[];this addEventHandler ["HitPart", {_spr = "Sign_Sphere10cm_F" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _spr setPosASL (_this select 0 select 3); ary=ary+[_spr]}];

players init

this addAction ["remove markers",{{deletevehicle  _x} foreach ary;ary=[]}]

[AldoUSMC 10]

With the help of Larrow and F2k we solved this today via at least one method ...see this post

I'll look up my solution, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow as I'm not at my computer.
