Vehicle mounting and pick up weapon tasks

[tomusgilbert 10]

Hey guys!

I've got a couple of questions I've been stuck on for a while in my mission making:

1. I want to be able to set a task for the player to enter a vehicle;

2. I also want to have a task set for the player to pick up an item/weapon including a UAV Darter;

3. Is it possible for those tasks to be synced with a custom way point?

Thanks in advance,

TomusGilbert :cool:

1.

1. create a Create Task Module

2. create a Set Task State Module

3. Create a trigger => in its condition field write => player in car //(car is you name of the vehicle you want the player to enter)

2.

1. create a Create Task Module

2. create a Set Task State Module

3. create a trigger on top of the item you want the player to pick up. Set its radius to 1 (depends on the items size), set the condition to not present and anybody.

3.

What do you exactly mean?

I got confused, disregard it :p

If you don't mind me asking, I was watching an editing mission video by TheSwissMAVERICK (

) and he has a bunch of playable units in his mission that don't spawn until he actually plays as them. Would you have any idea unto how he would have done that?

Thanks again!

I am currently not at home, I'll have a look at it later. (if I find the time that is)

Edit:

if (!isMultiplayer) then
{
    deleteVehicle this;
};

No guarantee, haven't tested this myself, but that's what I would try to begin with. Put that code into the init field of the unit.

@R3vo

I'm a little confused. The init file is not in the mission file. Do I have to add one? If so what do I write? :confused:

If you place a unit, and double click on it, there's a huge field where you can put sqf code in. That's called the init.

I found this thread and have an extension to the question on how to have any playable character enter a vehicle to trigger.  I currently have this trigger condition...

 

guy1 in truck1;

 

I have the 4 players in co-op named guy1, guy2 , guy3, and guy4.  I want the trigger to happen if any of them get in truck1.  Do you know how I could write this for hosted MP?

I'm sure others will chime in with something better but this should work as a lazy method:

 

(guy1 in truck1) OR (guy2 in truck1) OR (guy3 in truck1) OR (guy4 in truck1);

 

This goes in the trigger condition.  Trigger will activate if any of them get in the truck.

 

 

And even lazier method would be :

 

player in truck1;

How about getting out ? I tried "out" but it didn't work

 

Any help is appreciated!
