Darter/UAV Limitions

[jcae2798 132]

Hi all -

Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the distance one can use to fly the darter? I wanted to see if there was a way to limit the distance one can fly from controller up to 2k Meters max. For one of my missions where you are to recon areas but i want to limit this or have them use a UAV plane instead. I only want to limit the darter if possible.

It's for this mission if anyone is interested:

Thanks!

Prototypal code. Been a long time since I scripted in the infamous .sqf. Feel free to test this.

/*
USAGE: [[uav1],[player],1000,1500] call uavConnection.sqf;

PUT THIS CODE INTO AN ACTION -> CONNECT TO UAV

*/
_uav = _this select 0;
_connectMan = _this select 1;
_minDist = _this select 2;
_maxDist = _this select 3;

_connectMan = [];
_uav = [];

// if (count _connectMan == 1) then {_connectMan = _connectMan;} else {_connectMan = [];};
// if (count _connectMan == 1) then {_connectMan = _connectMan;} else {_connectMan = [];};

// if object is in the range of minDist && maxDist -> connect

if (_connectMan distance _uav < _maxDist && _connectMan distance _uav > _minDist) then {

_connectMan connectTerminalToUAV _uav; 
_conn = true;

if (_conn) {
	hint "Connection successful.";
};

} else {
_connectMan connectTerminalToUAV objNull; // disconnect
_coon = false;

if !(_conn) then {
	hint "Cannot connect to the UAV.";
};

};

If you needed, you can actually make a universal function for distance checks and actions depending on the type of object you're trying to count distance to.

awesome Inlesco. I'll report back in the coming days :)

Thanks for taking the time to write it up!

Hi, 2022 🙂 

How do i make this work, in any way, where do I but usage? I'm very bad at these scripts, I copy paste most of the time, often there is a step by step guide :D          I would like it to work on all darts.     

I use respawn vechicle module, I want to be able to throw the code in Expression field, and use it in a sgf file.          I hope u can help me 🙂
