How to put IED's on the road hidden, and how to create a basic infantry ambush?

[jshock 513]

Yep that should work :).

Thnx it works :) but i had problem with the parameers :(

For example i put 1 for heli paremeter, when i go to preview it respawn 2 helicopters, and i put 2 for heli paremeter, it spawns 3 helicopter? then i tried putting it to 0 it respawn to none. For some reason it always add extra vehicle? do you know the problem or reason behind this?

I also tried with tanks, ifrits and apcs. It does the same thing, it respawns an extra vehicle for each.

Actually, yea I believe it's my bad on the for loops, change all the 0's to 1's:

i.e.

//instead of
for "_a" from 0 to blah

//do
for "_a" from 1 to blah

And do that for each of the loops, it's just one of those mistakes that's easily looked over if your not careful :p.

I forgot to ask you this, how do i find a group class name? for example, sniper team. what is the group class name for sniper team? How do i find group class names for different groups units?

I found a problem. The vehicles spawn but they dont go to the trigger? they just stay at their current position, and won't move to the trigger :(

Do vehicles have a different coding for attacking?

i made separate scripts for each kind of vehicle ambush.

For example:

i made ambushheli.sqf

_area = (_this select 0);_distance = (_this select 1);_center = createCenter EAST;_pos = [(getPos _area), _distance, random(359)] call BIS_fnc_relPos;        _veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;        [_veh, (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack; 

Did i do something wrong?

Nope me again :), my fault for not going back and refreshing myself on the taskAttack function, change:

[_veh, (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack;

//to

[(group _veh), (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack;

Ahh no problem, Everyone is not always perfect :) This shows that you need to be really precise when it comes to scripting :)

Thank you so much!!! :)

WAit do i change this also?

_veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle

to this?

group _veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle

I tried changeing it to this

ambushheli.sqf

_area = (_this select 0);
_distance = (_this select 1);
_center = createCenter EAST;

_pos = [(getPos _area), _distance, random(359)] call BIS_fnc_relPos; 
_veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; 
       [(group _veh), (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack; 

Heli still didnt move to the trigger :/

No, that would not give you a desired effect.

_veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; 
       [(group _veh), (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack;

Try this instead:

_area = (_this select 0);
_distance = (_this select 1);
_center = createCenter EAST;

_pos = [(getPos _area), _distance, random(359)] call BIS_fnc_relPos; 
_veh = [_pos,0,"O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F",_center] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; 
[(_veh select 2), (getPos _area)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack;

If that doesn't work we may have to resort to using the createVehicle command.
