[Release] Radio Jamming Script for Task Force Radio

[blow56 10]

How do you increase strength/radius?

[barbolani 198]

Hi!

 

Mind if I add some snippets of the script to Antistasi? I would like to add this for the PvP players, so the rebels can use their owned radio towers as jammers for NATO.

 

Of course I Will credit you.

If you open the script, that information is listed at the top.

Parameter(s):
0: ARRAY of object(s) (Required)- Entity(s) that will cause the radios to be jammed.
1: NUMBER (Optional)- Range of the jammer in Meters. Default is 1000.
2: NUMBER (Optional)- Strength of the jammer. Default is 100.
3: BOOL (Optional)- Enable Debug. Default is False.

Example: [[jammer1],500, 100] execVM "TFARjamRadios.sqf";// This would make jammer1 the active jammer, and would have a radius of 500m and a strength of 100.

Radio Jamming for TFAR Script update (version 0.2.0)

Download Link: Radio Jamming Script for TFAR version 0.2.0

 

Changelog

- The debug function will now create markers locally rather than globally.
- The script will now (properly) jam sending transmissions as well as incoming transmissions.

- Changed the default "strength" of the jammer to 50 (previously 100) to hopefully compensate for sending transmissions being jammed.

 

Note: Due to some of the changes in this script, if you choose to update any of your missions that used the previous version of this script, and had set a custom strength value for the script, then you may want to lower the custom strength value that you had set.

 

If you experience any issue with the update, please don't hesitate to let me know.

You are running the script with debug mode enabled. All you need to do is remove the last parameter in the line used to execute the script (the bit that says TRUE) and the text/markers will stop showing up. It should end up looking similar to this: 

jamRadios = [[JAMMER],1000,50] execVM "TFARjamRadios.sqf";

To use this script simply place down the object(s) you want to act as the jammer(s) in the editor and give the object(s) a variable name (Ex: Jammer1)

In addition to what Dedmen said, looking at your initPlayerLocal.sqf you have the following lines:

Line 1: radioJammer = [[jammer1, jammer2], 1000, 50, TRUE] execVM "scripts\TFARjamRadio.sqf";
Line 2: if (side player == EAST) then {jamOpforRadios = [[Jammer1]] execVM "TFARjamRadios.sqf";};
Line 3: if (side player == WEST) then {jamBluforRadios = [[Jammer2]] execVM "TFARjamRadios.sqf";};

You should really only be using either line 1 by itself or lines 2 and 3 together, not all three lines together. The way you currently have it, the script will run twice (unless the player's side is set to independent), which may cause some issues.

@rebel12340 @Dedmen - both I did. Rebel I deleted the first line with "//" in the initPlayerLocal - let me do some clean tests without any other script / mods - let y know -  thanks replies

But the error message you posted says you didn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Spoor 23]

@Dedmen @rebel12340 - probably something when wrong by merging maps/missions. I had multible object(s)  Jammer1,  Jammer1_1 , Jammer2 and Jammer2_1 have overlooked this, problem solved - thanks

Is there a way to play a sound file then players try to broadcast, to let them know the jammer is active?

 

Is there a performance hit related to the size of your jamming area? Would a 2km area be detrimental compared to a 200m area?

This could probably be done using the OnTangent event handler for TFAR: https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/wiki/API:-Events

As far as I'm aware, the size of the area shouldn't really be a factor as far as performance goes. The only thing I can think of that would affect performance would be the amount of jammers, as the script has to find the distance from the player to each jammer to find the closest one. I haven't done any real sort of testing on the matter to see what sort of performance impact there is, though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do that, so I'm just going to abandon the idea. Thanks though.

hey bro i tried to play the Example Mission and it says it missing tfar_backpacks and tfar_handhelds. Are you willing to update this Script to the new v0.9.12 TFAR? Or am i doing something wrong lol

[Nicholas Lendall 9]

Double check that the variable name(s) you have in the activation of the script match the variable name you have assigned to the object(s) you want to act as the jammer(s).

In other words, if you're executing the script as such:

[[jammer1, jammer2, jammer3], 1000, 50, TRUE] execVM "scripts\TFARjamRadios.sqf";

You would need to have three jammers, one named jammer1, one named jammer2, and one named jammer3.

Hope that helps.

You need the new TFAR Beta apparently.

[Nicholas Lendall 9]

OK SWEET! I have the mission working now to disable the jammer like in the video how do i add the addAction? Also if i set it to a radio tower can i disable it by blowing it up?

[Nicholas Lendall 9]

ok Radio Tower works as is lol
