Hi there,

I'm currently working on a mission template for my clan [qip] and wanted to include earplugs because everyone is complaining about the noise of the helicopters :P

I looked at several scripts, some of them didn't suit and some didn't work. Maybe it would have been easy to fix but as I wanted to learn sqf scripts anyway I

started to write my own script.

The earplugs work everywhere so they are not bound to a specific location, like inside a helicopter or so. Everything is translatable and currently in english and german.

Setup:

  1. Create a "scripts" folder in your mission and put the main script in there (or update init.sqf and NreEarplugsPath variable in the main script)
  2. Create stringtable.xml (or add to existing) the language strings
  3. Add "execVM "scripts\NRE_earplugs.sqf";" to your init.sqf
  4. Have fun with your earplugs :)

regards

NemesisRE

From looks of it, actions will not reappear when player will respawn and will remain on dead body.

@SaMatra

I add the action to the player not the body so it shouldn't appear on dead bodys and I have a event handler for respawn so it must be readded on respawn.

Do you have any revive scripts/mods running? Maybe something is messing with the respawn event?

Edit: I have branched a possible fix for that I need to test it in the evening, if it works I will merge it.

You're right, on a second look it should be fine. I didn't test or use it, I went through script and missed how you handled Respawn events.

Uuhm, how does it work? How do i enable this ?

 

Welcome to the forums Dalle!  The three steps to getting this working as listed under Setup in the first post.  What sorts of trouble or errors were you getting when you tried those in your mission?

Thankyou!. I have only putted the code into the files as i should, but when i enter my server it dosen't lower the sound. Is there a button who needs to be pressed before this script works?

When you look at your script files, especially the init.sqf one, what type of file does Windows say it is?  Is it an "SQF File" or a "Text Document"?  If it says Text Document that would explain why it's not running.  Windows by default hides actual extensions for files.  Here's how to fix that on Win 7.

It does say SQF but the question is. Does this automatically activates by itself when entering a vehicle or do i have to press something to activate earplugs?

A really useful script.

Any plans to make it a pbo'd mod? It would help a lot with missions that run with lots of scripts or frameworks.

Gents,

 

Great script and it works extremely well when i use the editor - as soon as i export the mission to MP and then run on my dedicated server (hosted by gtxgaming,com) the action to insert/remove does not appear in game?  Can anyone help me out with this?

 

Many thanks in advance

Nevermind - i placed the init line in the initPlayerLocal.sqf file and its working now - not sure if that is meant to happen or not?

Hey :D,

 

I'm very new to all this scripting & mission making stuff. I have run into a brick wall now because I have added this script to one of my multiplayer mission files and followed all the instructions that were given on the Armaholic page, but the sound isn't lowering. I can see the add actions, but when I select them, in-game, nothing happens? Would anyone have an answer/solution for me?

 

Thanks :D

This deactivates the action menu and interaction icons for group (and likely also for side) respawn in a mission a friend made (which also includes AIS wounds, CRS, and Outlaw mag repack). The player can't insert or remove plugs, open doors, pick up items (without using inventory keybind) etc. after they have respawned into an ai entity.

What is the key to make it work? Or is it on the mouse scroll.

NRE uses mouse wheel / action menu. George Floros has one that uses a key (and which works with group and side respawn).
