Thanks Revo, no need to hurry. I'm glad you made this mod.

Will the ambient flyby be based on player position and can you set and offset ?

Thanks

If we can get the option to generate planes that flyby for ambience and their flight heigt ,it will be a +1 mod for me,thanks for you`re work.

[Jnr4817 215]

Yes, thank you for sure. This mod is really a game changer.

[Max255 59]

Kinda noob question, since it's probably a very obvious solution.

With the intro text, can I set it up to dynamically use current player name, his rank and full mission date and time (possibly even if changed with params in the lobby)?

I figured it auto-converts anything I put in there into strings. If so, anyway around that?

[pierremgi 4739]

I don't really agree with this. I'd rather it get the player or "specific players, players, group, etc" position. this way the flyby can occur above or with a set offset. This way the flyby is dynamic, giving the mission maker the ability to focus on the player movement and not a certain area of operation. Also, allowing more than one aircraft would be awesome.

 

Thanks, just my 2 cents. No offense intended.

As you can see, even your answer implies several kinds of events and the addon cannot cover all of them! Thus who like flyby over base, over enemies, over players, over... Let a part of this work to the mission maker. R3vo has to decide what his addon can or cannot do.

I just suggested to manage 2 markers if existing. What they mark is not for the addon but for the mission scope. It's easy to make a marker following a unit (as in many MP scenarios).

Test Version

 

If anyone wants to test the new version, here's the link:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/aps95udqa9qrj37/%403den%20Enhanced%20Test.zip?dl=0

 

In the folder you find a readme.txt and the preliminary changelog in addition to a small test mission.

 

Please keep in mind that this version is not considered to be final and should be not destributed anywhere!

[Jnr4817 215]

Excellent, Ill give it a try.

Is the variety from the ambient combat animations limited by bohemia? Some more of them would be nice.

Yes it's limited by BIS. I hope we get new animations with Tanoa.

[schaefer 53]

Is there a way to use the Arma 2 Cutscenes Mod?

I mean that one can use these anims trough your Mod?

Hope i made myself clear,sorry for my bad english. -_-

Not at the moment, would require a complete overhaul of the controls. I'll keep it in mind for the future though.

Some additional info: The issue here it not that it's too difficult to make the flyby always happen near the player, but rather that it also needs to work on a dedicated server, where player is unknown e.g. there are multiple players.That means the behaviour would be unkown to the person who build the mission and that's something I want to avoid at any cost. Afterall, this mod is mostly targeted at beginners. The old folks have no problem with writing a small flyby script themselves.

[Jnr4817 215]

Revo, that makes plenty of sense. I do like what pierremgi suggested by managing 2 markers instead of players. Would this benefit the dedicated severs in anyway?

Again thanks for the awesome mod.

If I create a mission with this addon is installed, do I still need to have it loaded while playing the mission?

No, it creates no dependencies.

With markers it would still be static.

[tobinator 41]

Yes it's limited by BIS. I hope we get new animations with Tanoa.

I created a task in the bugtracker - maybe it effects something :D https://feedback.bistudio.com/T117042

[Jnr4817 215]

Not if you attached a marker or markers to a certain player, players , group, vehicle, location, etc. this way instead of "knowing the player" the mission maker could assign a marker or markers for start and finish.

With markers it would still be static.

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

R3vo, quick question.

In the currently released build, is there a mission complete and mission fail state I can implement or was that for a future release?

If it's already in, is there any documention for how to set up the parameters?

[pierremgi 4739]

With markers it would still be static.

To make it mobile, some light script should be written by the mission maker. Not your problem in fact. It's a choice, you just allow it:

[] spawn{

  while {!isnil "flybyend"} do {

    sleep 0.5; // enough if you don't want to "each frame" that

    "flybyend" setMarkerPos (getposATL some_unit)

  }

};

Nothing more, but the destination of aircraft (wpt, marker position) must be actualized somewhere: If your script runs at start, for a flyby from A to B, once and forget, (no trigger, no repeat), then A and B will not be actualized. So, depending on how "complex" is your event.

It's in the release build, you can download the test version I posted earlier. There is not extra documentation, if the tooltips aren't clear enough, let me know.
