[SP/MP] ClashPoint

[zbug 160]

Overview

ClashPoint is the closest equivalent to an instant action feature in Arma 3. It's the fastest way to go from the main menu to a cool firefight! You can play the way you want: solo, coop or PvP.


Features

- Fight to control the ClashPoint in dynamically generated infantry firefights on numerous different locations all around Altis and Kunduz,
- You can choose to play solo, coop, PvP, and the mission will adapt to the number of players,
- You can play the mission as a singleplayer scenario (you will join AI forces), on a local server, or dedicated server,
- Revive/respawn system based on Farooq's revive that also works in solo play (which means dying in solo doesn't end the mission),
- Motorized reinforcements and close air support to help the losing team and even out the fight,
- Spawn protection to discourage those nasty spawn campers,
- Cool killfeed that displays all your bragging rights!

Latest version: 1.5 (April 17th 2016)

Steam workshop:

• Altis
• Kunduz

MPMissions pbo:

• Altis
• Kunduz

Kunduz version requires RHS and Leights Opfor Pack. And of course Kunduz :)

You are free to modify the mission and especially port it to other maps, and/or use whatever mods you like (hint: classnames.sqf). It works great with RHS :)

Enjoy!

This is a superb mission, especially combined with bCombat ! Having Galliusto's revive on would make AI revive ... which would add to the loveliness !

^ if Kremator recommends it I must give it a try!!

[dayglow 2]

Looks great, will give it a try

I am also having great fun with this one. I only play it in SP, with RHS units.

But I would like to play it in SP on the OPFOR side. I have modified the mission.sqm in the editor to play on the red side. Then saved it and put in a pbo. But one of the init script, I suppose, force my well-spawned soldier to be on the Blufor side... I really don't know what to modify in those multiple scripts.

I notice that in multiplayer, self hosted server and only player, I spawn on the right side. But not integrated in a squad. So I really want to launch it in SP.

I would be glad to hear a small hint. Thanks

I'm dearly sorry, but modifying the mission voids your warranty :p

More seriously, as you've already modified things you should be able to open \scripts\client\gimme_a_group.sqf (use notepad or notepad++ or whatever tool able to modify code without messing up everything, not MS office)

At line 9, replace

if ( side _x == WEST ) then {

with

if ( side _x == playerSide ) then {

Save the file, export the mission, it should do the trick ;)

Otherwise, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the mission!

The issue with other revive scripts is that if you die in singleplayer, you can't respawn and the mission ends. It's a matter of balancing advantages and drawbacks, and Farooq's revive is my prefered solution because the players won't die prior to being revived ;)

[tawah 13]

Thank you for this fast answer, I will test this when I'll be back home, next weekend.

You're welcome :)

Can you confirm it works as intended?

[orcinus 121]

@tatwah: Don't use notepad - with wordwrap on it has a nasty trick of inserting a space at the end of every line that was wrapped, which thoroughly buggers up the script.

Notepad ++ is the tool I use, with the sqf plugin; or Poseidon (look in Arma 3 user tools forum) which will also colour-code the script.

[tawah 13]

Ok thank you Orcinus, I also use Notepad ++. ;-)

What Zbug told me works like a charm to fight on the right side. But I had to modify on more thing in order to not start as a CSAT soldier in the middle of the russian RHS fighters : I had to replace, in the editor, the units from vanilla one (CsAT) to RHS one (RHSAFRF). Then save this mission and put it in the modified pbo. The classnames.sqf modification is not sufficient if you want to first spawn with the good appearance.

I am more into long dynamic open missions, and only downloaded this one to be able to jump quickly into the action to check things... But I am surprised at how much fun I am having. Good job!

One question though. I am afraid it's a stupid one and everything is right there in front of me, but: in the arsenal, how do I get ammo? I get 3 measly mags for every rifle I choose, and can then get more from bodies, but the launchers come empty.

[speedygonzales 15]

Neofit Click on the right side on vest or rucksacks the choose your ammunition on the lefst side for your weapons you have equipped.

[neofit 65]

@Speedygonzales thanks, it's almost this ;). Actually I have to click on the backpack or the vest on my toon in the middle, and I hadn't even noticed anything there, you have to hover the cursor over your doll for them to appear.

[kremator 1065]

Thanks for the update.  I still play this mission to test out how good the AI are for various mods.  Cheers mate.

[yxman 90]

really like it! :)

 

any plans on adding hc support for coop purpose?

[zbug 160]

Nope, you won't have more than 100 AI troops at any given time, so HC support wouldn't improve anything

[chopst1x 10]

Been enjoying this very much, thank you. Is there any way of starting a mission in charge of an AI squad instead of starting as a squad member?

 

Thanks,

[cosmos10040 0]

Great mod BTW. How do I select maps if I just want to splay with bots? And number of bots? Sorry I'm a noon. Thanks

[kendar 65]

Just tried it for the first time, nice one ;)

 

Any intention to make it on other maps ?

 

Thanks for sharing

[DieselJC 196]

Really enjoy the quick action and seems to run very well I have a few questions, is their an option anywhere for a base to be built or is the respawn set so we respawn in different areas each time. My thinking is building abse with vehicle and Maint support for MP on Dedicated server. I opened it in editor but everything is on the salt lake and you start in a totally different area.Great mission thanks for sharing.
