[RELEASE] Simple Bomb Defuse [script]

[M1ke_SK 230]

Simple Bomb Defuse [script] - v1.2.2

 

 

Description:

Idea was to create simple "mini-game" / "chalenge" when defusing bombs in game, where unit have little time to think and create space for errors. With this script you can add possibility to "screw something" when deactivating mines. Script randomly generate string of 3 color matrix, where unit must identify which color have most appearances in matrix and cut that color wire accordingly. You can stress out unit with timer you set for deactivating the bomb. If unit cut wrong wire or timer runs out, then bomb will explode. Best object to make bomb is burning barrel, but you can use any object, just need to modify little attached objects. I added C4 and light and beeping sound to improve finding bomb in dark.

Bomb can be defused with any unit, just need to have toolkit in inventory. In future, I can modify script for demotilion class only if needed.

Should be working on multiplayer / dedicated server, need more testing.

 

Instalation:

- copy folder "bomb" into your mission folder

- include line 

#include "bomb\cfgFunctions.hpp"

into your CfgFunctions class in description.ext file

 

Example:

class CfgFunctions
{
    #include "bomb\cfgFunctions.hpp"
};

Usage:

- place unit in editor

- place object in editor (barrel)

- In object init line put

null = ["object", "time", "kit", "debug"] execVM "bomb\bomb.sqf";

Example:

null = [this, 10, true, false] execVM "bomb\bomb.sqf";

Configuration:

"object" - object to transform to bomb, default: this

"time" - time in seconds for bomb defuse, default: 10

"kit" - boolean value if needed tools to defuse bomb, default: true

"debug" - boolean value if need show right wire to cut, default: false

 

Settings:

open file ../bomb/settings.sqf in bomb folder where you can change internal settings of script.

 

_choices - array of choices to cut wires, more choices will have more colors to cut, default: red, green, blue

_explosion - change classname of explosion, possible values in comments

_matrix - show size of maxtrix with colors, default: big

_expertMultiplier - if expert is defusing bomb, unit will have more time to defuse bomb, default: 2  (time * 2x)

_disableAce3 - disable/enable ACE3 interaction menu

 

Features:

- friendly hint with instructions

- hint is showing only to defuser

- ace3 support

- JIP friendly

- multiplayer / dedicated server friendly

- easy installation

- plug & play system

- specialist have more time to defuse bomb

- custom time for specialist

- defusing bomb with ToolKit or DefusalKit

- random generation of matrix

- custom size of matrix

- custom choices (number of wires)

- beeping sound

- blinking light

 

Planned:

- dialog for cutting wires

- cutting wires in right order

- when wrong cut, timer will accelerate

- "slippery hands" ( this is where I move toolkit from unit inventory and spawn it next to him, as he can't cut wires when he dont have toolkit)

- probability of second wiring ( first wiring is dummy )

 

Changelog:

Very cool, I like it.  I wonder if we could find a simple colored wiring diagram jpg to use instead of #s.  Give it a bit more realism.

I am planning to create Dialog for cutting wires

[johnnyboy 3793]

Sweet.  Just to flesh out my suggestion (no problem if you go a different path of course), but an image like this could be re-labeled to be more bomb-trigger oriented.  Then there could be different randomized cues to player on which wire to cut (i.e., make them find a wire described in the diagram, determine its color, then select color to cut).  "Cut the relay to ground wire", "Cut the 15 amp fuse wire", .etc.

Maybe a bit complicated for a "simple" bomb defusal script ;)

Maybe a bit complicated for a "simple" bomb defusal script ;)

:) Idea is one relatively simple diagram (just a jpg), but with 3 randomized cues to the player "must cut the xyz relay wire".  With time pressure, player has to read diagram, find the labeled wire, determine its color, then choose "cut color X wire".  Random instructions for which labeled wire to cut makes it so player can't memorize to always cut one particular wire color.

You can create a "complicated bobb script " with ACE !   :rolleyes: PLEAS

Looks really cool. Is this MP safe?

Should be. Tested only on MP, not dedicated.

Ok cool. Will try it on a dedicated server.

[Grezvany13 64]

Looks great, and I'm sure it can be used to for nice missions.

 

Some ideas which could be implemented:

 

- "Simple Bomb": 

This is just a box with n amount of randomly coloured wires, perhaps even part of a bigger bomb interface (requires some GUI editing), where you have to follow the given instructions.

eg. "Cut the <colour> wire", "Cut the most occurring colour", "Cut the nth wire", etc.

 

 

- "Advanced Bomb":

Could have the same interface, although in this case you have to cut all the wires in a certain order.

eg. "Cut all the wires in order of the amount it has", "Cut all the wires. The BLUE wires must be cut on EVEN second, GREEN on UNEVEN seconds." (could be tricky in MP with lag), "Cut all the wires from right to left"

 

And this could even include something like checking the current (eg. "Cut all wires in order of HIGH to LOW current")

 

- Double Timer:

To make it more interesting for missions, the bomb could have 2 different timers.

1) a local timer, which is the same as it's now (30 seconds to read the instructions and press a button).

2) a global timer, in which the bomb must be disarmed (otherwise mission failed). This can be activated on mission start or through a trigger.

 

This could mean that someone can check the bomb before disarming it, without being stuck to the 30 second limit. Eg. someone checks the bomb but doesn't have a toolkit with him/her.

 

- Mod instead of script

Please, please, please, make a mod version of this ;)

This would mean more possibilities of using custom assets (images, sounds, objects, UI).

 

 

btw I also found this on the forums (probably doesn't work anymore): https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/163766-defuse-the-bomb/

Thank you Foxhound

- Double Timer:

 

- Mod instead of script

 

- Advamced bomb

 

- Double timer

You can implement double timer within your mission with another loop to set off bombs like:

if(timer == 0) exitWith 
{
    { /* detonate bombs here */  } forEach [bomb1, bomb2, bomb3, ...];
};

I think of that when I created this script but want to keep it "simple". You can always use trigger to count down when mission ends  (bombs will destroy objective) or something.

 

- Mod instead of script

 

About mod. I think you will have more freedom if you use script, because people dont need to download other things(mods) just to play your mission. This way it is just plug-and-play. I am more "use-vanilla-sources-guy" in my missions, but I will considerate making some mod in future.

 

- Advanced bomb

 

I have few ideas to improve cutting wires. Something like: 

 

- adding more colors (more wires)

- creating bigger matrix

- cutting wires in right order

- when wrong cut, timer will accelerate

- "slippery hands" ( this is where I move toolkit from unit inventory and spawn it next to him, as he can't cut wires when he dont have toolkit)

- probability of second wiring ( first wiring is dummy )

Is it poseble to change the toolkit to a ace defucer kit?

[Guest]

I don't know how it is handled but

"Acedefuserclassname" in assignedItems ?

[M1ke_SK 230]

Is it poseble to change the toolkit to a ace defucer kit?

 

Yes, will be in next update. (ace3 support)

Nice work . tnx sir!!!

[Guest]

Thanks for the headsup about the update :)

New version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Simple Bomb Defuse v1.1

[M1ke_SK 230]

I reduced default timer to 10 seconds and added more colors and bigger matrix for more challenging defusing (you can customize it in script settings)

Also specialist (engineer or demo expert) will have 2x more time to defuse bomb, like in ace3 where medic can heal 2x quicker. You can modify this coeficient now.

Hi,

 

great script but i noticed two things : first, when someone tries to defuse the bomb, everyone on the server get the message. Maybe its wanted or do you plan to fix this ?

Secondly, sometimes, people dont get killed or injured with the explosion. Maybe because we are using ace.

1.

Are you using this on multiplayer or dedicated server ?

Hint was planned to be visible only for defuser.

 

2.

What settings are you using in ACE3 mod?

How do you set unconscious settings?

What explossion class are you using?

Are you using modded uniforms?

Are you using custom eventhandlers.

What mods are you using in your missions?

You can change explossion class in internal settings in script.

With mods, specially with ACE3, you need to look at each scenario differently. Script was mainly for vanilla use.
