Eco Terrorists

Eco-friendly organizations want to attack Governor Reynold's motorcade! Will you be able to deliver him safely to Altis main airport or will he end up being executed?

 

1.] Hypothesis: Tanoa is an island where many eco-friendly organizations operate. These organizations claim that Tanoa should not be harassed by human interventions because a lot of rare plant and animal species live there. That is why they have convinced prior governments to not let Tanoa locals use the lands for farming or fishing and to ban all non renewable energy sources. As a result most locals have no source of income and are therefore extremely poor. Now Tanoa has a new Governor named Mr. Reynolds. Reynolds decided to stop the aforementioned bans and to let the locals prosper as long as some basic limits are kept. The eco-organizations however disagree and now want to assassinate the governor! You see due to his policies there will be no more funding for them and the super expensive eco-products will stop being sold. Today Reynolds will be visiting the governor of Altis to discuss how to get rid of the so called eco-friendly organizations. You, as a PMC, will be responsible for his safety. You are to escort him to the airport where he will get in a chopper so as to be transferred to the meeting pos.

 

2.] Important details:

 

a)Playing in SP will be hard but if you do play in SP you will have to be THE GROUP LEADER of the vehicle that will be IN THE MIDDLE of the motorcade. You will find which slot that is at the start of the mission.

b)This mission has low replayability. Once and if you manage to complete the mission successfully you might never play it again.

c)The motorcade should remain in formation. The one vehicle should be behind the other and at logical speeds. Driving too fast can result in accidents, such as missing a turn, turning upside down and exploding. Not that we would know while testing

d)You should NOT DISABLE AI units that are in your team. Those units should exist for your convenience.

e)Respawn:Instant

On a dedicated server the VIP does not move from dock or at all.

I unpbo the mission added a follow me sqf with enable ai MOVE to get it to work.

 

A good mission which a lot of hard work has gone into. If only the events could be randomized, as once you have completed the mission

you will know exactly whats going to happen. So not a lot of point in playing it more than once which is a pity.

Thank you greatly for the feedback.

Can you please tell me if the VIP joined your group once you came near him? And you created a script with an addaction feature? If so we will implement it too.

The VIP has his PATH disabled in the beggining simply because sometimes he decided to take a swim and leave the area. His PATH is however enabled when the Group Leader of the Governor's Vehicle Squad comes near him. That is the person that has the Meet the Governor task.

 

Yep, such missions have no randomized events sadly.

 

Glad you enjoyed the mission in the end. Sorry for the need to unpbo and all. While testing we dindn't have such an issue but we will release a new version asap so as to block the possibility of such a thing to happen again.

It works fine if you host it yourself but on a dedicated server we could not get the VIP to move at all.

I use "MOVE" rather than PATH.

 

In the vip's init changed it to         vip disableAI "MOVE"; this addAction["Come with us now","follow.sqf"];

 

created a sqf called follow with this in it         [vip]; hint "This way please";vip enableai "MOVE";

 

so any player can go up to the vip & activate the sqf & he is free to move & follow orders. (the join part worked)

 

I could upload the finished mission pbo if you like? not sure where to.

[JohnKalo 657]

Hmm, it is the same trigger that uses the joinGroup command and the enableAI PATH command. Only one of the two worked in dedicated.

Ok we will fix this asap by using your method and I will also place a thread in the Editing forums to check what happened so as for it not to happen again.

Thanks again

Your welcome. :)

I've have wasted hours making missions that work when you test them yourself only to find they don't work on a dedicated server.
