Hello c",)

 

first of love this forum, it has really helped me a lot !   . . .

well over to my first post in here. Or this is more of a question;

 

how do i get a chopper to wait untill it has been fully loaded before take off?..

"i meen not like if player is in, or if a spesific group is in. I only want a line to make the chopper wait untill every seat is full, or no more space in cargo."

 

Maybe somthing like: waitUntil {heli is full} AND {!isNull player}; or waitUntil {heli fullcargo} AND {!isNull player}; 

 

Please help me you see i have made a mission where you must contact, rescue and finally load rescued civilian units on to a waiting chopper.

"i started with a dream to count the rescued units onboard the heli, and then give score fore each. But seeing as this was a bit over my skill level i choose to have it only take of when fully loaded and the give a static score.

I am using simple shop by HoverGuy i was hoping to give money for each rescued civilian loaded."

 

Hope you are the right person to help me, i have really searched everywhere . . .

Best regards RotaMafia.

waitUntil{ { isNull ( _x select 0 ) }count fullCrew[ heli, "cargo", true ] isEqualTo 0 };

Wait until none of the cargo seats are null (_x select 0 (the object occupying the seat) is objNull if it is not occupied).

Roughly the same

_numRescuedCivs = { !isNull ( _x select 0 ) && { side ( _x select 0 ) isEqualTo civilian } }count fullCrew[ heli, "cargo", true ];

Count all cargo spots in the heli that are not null and the occupant is side civilian.

Thank you @Larrow, You are a true legend ! c", )

The Commands works like a charm ! have really struggled with this one, True Newbie :)

 

Since i am on the topic of being a newbie at scripting, how would i go about getting these lines: 

 [50,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash; AND [25,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubXP;  to run for each _numRescuedCivs? 

 

Also seeing as I am on a roll, of questions.. Are there a easy why do display how many that was rescued to the player/players?... 

- If this was too many questions, thats no problem You have helped me plenty already ! Thanx Again, RotaMafia c", )

Use a forEach loop.

{
	[50, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;
	[25, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubXP;
} forEach (fullCrew [heli, "cargo", true]);

I'm not sure what those functions look like... Maybe you will need to pass the unit to them? In that case, something like:

{
	[_x, 50, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;
	[_x, 25, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubXP;
} forEach (fullCrew [heli, "cargo", true]);

You'll need to modify your function though, unless it already has that. Inside the function, use the passed unit when adding XP/cash.

{ [50, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash; [25, 0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubXP; } forEach (fullCrew [heli, "cargo", true]);
