pierremgi 4850 Posted January 29, 2018 You can do this kind of thing apart. Be sure any attached object will flicker more or less during the fall. try something like: player addAction ["chemLight",{ _target = _this select 0; _caller = _this select 1; _id = _this select 2; { _lgt = "Chemlight_Blue" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _lgt attachTo [_x, [0,-0.03,0.07], "LeftShoulder"]; } forEach (units _caller select {local _caller}); },nil, 5,false, true,"","(getPosATL _this) select 2 > 80"]; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirek 166 Posted January 30, 2018 Couldnt we let the player do at least something himself? They now get parachute automaticaly. If they want strobe or chemlight, they might as well do it themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4850 Posted January 30, 2018 sure! The local condition (done) is OK for that.. As players are on different PCs, they will now just order for the local AIs (in player's group). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockapes 103 Posted April 8, 2018 Hey @pierremgi, I hate to be a pain but when I test this script using the standard 0 = [this,1000,90,true] execVM "MGI_HALO.sqf" on a pole init in a local hosted mission all works well but as soon as I use on a dedicated server I get no "Halo Jump" option on the pole, am I doing something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4850 Posted April 8, 2018 No idea so far. Check the code is present in init field of your pole and the sqf in mission folder root. If you placed it elsewhere, you need to mention the path. If it's OK, then a battleEye compatibility with added action or a mod like ACE?? I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drty_Windshield 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Hello, if possible could you explain to me what would need to be done to prevent players from using this Halo whenever they want. After a particular player uses the Halo I would like them to have to wait 15 minutes before they could use it again. I would also like a hint that lets a particular player know how long they have to wait to use it again. If you could explain in detail or post some code that would be awesome. Edit: I found this while looking through the forums (I modified the hint) if (diag_tickTime < (uiNamespace getVariable ['tag_cooldown',-1])) exitWith { hint (format ['HQ: \n Next jump available in %1 seconds.',(round ((uiNamespace getVariable ['tag_cooldown',-1]) - diag_tickTime))]); }; _cooldown = 900; // cooldown duration in seconds uiNamespace setVariable ['tag_cooldown',(diag_tickTime + _cooldown)]; and inserted it into the add action in the MGI Halo.sqf like so... _pole addAction ["<t color='#00ffff'>HALO jump</t>",{ params ["_target","_caller","_id","_parameters"]; if (diag_tickTime < (uiNamespace getVariable ['tag_cooldown',-1])) exitWith { hint (format ['HQ: \n Next jump available in %1 seconds.',(round ((uiNamespace getVariable ['tag_cooldown',-1]) - diag_tickTime))]); }; _cooldown = 900; // cooldown duration in seconds uiNamespace setVariable ['tag_cooldown',(diag_tickTime + _cooldown)]; openmap [true,false]; hint "Pilot: \n Select location for LZ"; _parameters params ["_jump_alt","_jump_safety"]; It seems to work as intended with just me sampling the MP mission in the editor that I'm creating, but I have no idea if the timer will prevent everyone from using the Halo until the time runs out or if it will only affect the player that used the Halo. I'm very new to scripting, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can and don't really have anyone to help me test the functionality right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4850 Posted February 11, 2019 The inner code of addAction applies to the caller only (and his Ais here but that doesn't matter). So you can try something like: if (isNil {_caller getVariable "jumpTimer"}) then { _caller setVariable ["jumpTimer",900]; _caller spawn { _timer = _this getVariable "jumpTimer"; _go = diag_tickTime; waitUntil {uiSleep 1; hintSilent format ["HQ: \n Next jump available in %1 seconds.",_go +_timer - diag_tickTime]; diag_tickTime > _go + _timer -1}; hintSilent ""; _this setVariable ["jumpTimer",nil]; }; // end spawn <code> }; // end if here Not tested Cooldown will be included in the module version of this script.

jandrews 116 Posted February 18, 2019 Hello I am looking for a jump script that will apply to only a certain player class. And the addaction would be applied to the player themselves. The idea is the class paratrooper will be able to jump to another location once his timer is up and not be dependent on a item like a pole after each area is cleared. Only dependent on timer and classname. Also this seems like a work around to white listing class names. So for this code. 0 = [this,1000,90,true] execVM "MGI_HALO.sqf" Would 0 be changed to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4850 Posted February 18, 2019 0 is just a handle needed by the init code of an object/unit. That doesn't do anything interesting for your problem. You can try a code in init.sqf: { [_x,1000,90,true] execVM "MGI_HALO.sqf"; } forEach ((switchableUnits + playableUnits) select {_x isKindOf "B_soldier_PG_F"}); in the MGI_HALO.sqf, there are 2 addActions find the 2 lines: [_jump_alt,_jump_safety], 5,false, true,"","vehicle _this == _this"] (one of them is the last one) Replace by: [_jump_alt,_jump_safety], 5,false, true,"","vehicle _this == _target && isNil {_this getVariable 'jumpTimer'} "] Should work. You can also modify the code for enabling only paratrooper AIs in group. So the part of code adding a parachute becomes useless... As all the stuff for placing a current backpack on ventral. I don't want to rework this script in this way. At this time, just add a filter for your purpose. Replace: } forEach _MGI_units; by } forEach (_MGI_units select {_x isKindOf "B_soldier_PG_F"}) ; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClydeHype 1 Posted April 13, 2019 I'm fairly new to scripting, but I find it pretty interesting, even though I have to admit I feel completely lost at times 😄 I really like this script and I was wondering if it's possible to set a player interaction distance? Like, the player needs to be within 5 meters of the object to use the HALO jump. Been experimenting with it a bit, but I just can't find the line where I need to input the interaction distance 😢 Also, is it possible to do so all players in a squad gets teleported? Just like the AI squad jump, but for players instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beyaco 4 Posted May 31, 2020 Hello, thank you for the awesome script! I have a question that I am hoping that someone can help me or let me know if it is even possible. Instead of an object (flag pole), is there a way to execute the code on the fly with the debug console? Or possibly a small script that could be tossed into a .sqf file and then executed?
