mrempireman 5 Posted January 22, 2018 In the Tac ops DLC mission no reprieve, you can spot targets that create missions for eliminating them. Is there any scripts that can do this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrempireman 5 Posted January 23, 2018 @R3vo I'm just wondering, is the script meant to be put in myscript.sqf or something in game such as the player init or a trigger. Also create task, how would this make a task? Would you put the variable name for your create task module and then in the script change it to {//create task1}; .

pierremgi 4890 Posted January 23, 2018 The good question is, what are the targets? Any enemy officers, any known/reveal enemy, some specific units in a scenario? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you using RscMapControl with heavily modified base defines for squad radar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4890 Posted January 23, 2018 A rscTitle with a radar backGround. Extract of code here: _group_icon_radar = (uiNameSpace getVariable "Glasses_Grp_WtoS") displayCtrl 5000; _group_icon_radar ctrlSetText "A3\ui_f\data\IGUI\cfg\Radar\radarbackground_ca.paa"; Then group player positioning, green to red health status, icons for typeof vehicle/units... At least you can see who is wounded, where your medic is or if someone has boarded an helo + some other settings. (created on oct 2014) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted January 24, 2018 @pierremgi - So no RscMapControl? I don't see how RscTitle would work for that... If it did, do you draw on it somehow? Seems like a ton of code for relative positioning. Or did you mean use that texture on RscMapControl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4890 Posted January 24, 2018 No i have some addActions toggling some displays like this one. Here: if (toggle_radar == 1) then {103 cutRsc ["group_WtoS_icon","PLAIN",0.2,false]; } else { 103 cutRsc ["default","PLAIN"]; }; then in my config.cpp, where i describe all my displays (class rscTitles), I have this display (class group_Wtos_icon) and the associated controls: One for background (the mentioned paa), 12 for icons (limited to 12 guys, i must admit) and the range text one. This starts like this: Spoiler class group_WtoS_icon { idd = -1; duration = 100000; fadein = 0; fadeout = 0; name="group_WtoS"; onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['Glasses_Grp_WtoS', _this select 0]"; controls[]= { groupWtoS_radar, groupWtoS_range, groupWtoS1, groupWtoS101, groupWtoS2, groupWtoS201, groupWtoS3, groupWtoS301, groupWtoS4, groupWtoS401, groupWtoS5, groupWtoS501, groupWtoS6, groupWtoS601, groupWtoS7, groupWtoS701, groupWtoS8, groupWtoS801, groupWtoS9, groupWtoS901, groupWtoS10, groupWtoS1010, groupWtoS11, groupWtoS1011, groupWtoS12, groupWtoS1012 }; class groupWtoS_radar: RscPicture { idc = 5000; colorText[] = {1,1,1,0.2}; }; class groupWtoS1: RscPicture { idc = 5001; colorText[] = {1,1,0,0.5}; }; class groupWtoS101: Rsctext { idc = 5101; style=2; shadow = 2; SizeEx = "(((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 45))/ (getResolution select 5)"; colorText[] = {1,1,0,0.5}; }; class groupWtoS2: RscPicture { idc = 5002; colorText[] = {1,1,0,0.5}; }; class groupWtoS201: Rsctext { idc = 5102; style=2; shadow = 2; SizeEx = "(((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 45))/ (getResolution select 5)"; colorText[] = {1,1,0,0.5}; }; ...... and so on. Of course it's inherited of the RscPicture, RscText, basic classes you must refer with #include a hpp , but I guess you already know that. And yes, you "just" have to cope with the azimuth, distances of the units,... but also the "thickness" of each controls (icons) starting to upper/left corner if I remember... + some getResolution and screen aspect ratio (if you don't script like a pig) to keep a circle for each resolution, and avoid an ellipse. That was before BI simplified the video display setting. I'd probably script something slightly different, studying the Larrow's way for the new pixel grid, if I had to rework it, but I'm on another script right now. .

Also, in addition to isKindOf "man", how can I add objects or vehicles. Not specific objects or vehicles, but just under the cursor target as the script already does. I am wanting the UAV soldier to spot targets in the air from a UAV and assign a few task with you script. The ability to pick out specific "Man" and/or objects and/or vehicles would open the possibilities of game play.

Jnr4817 215 Posted January 27, 2018 Excellent work so far. 2 Issues I found. I cannot get to work in hosted MP, only works in single player. If you open editor and place a random OpFor (csat or independent) and you are in a group with AI, once you have assigned the kill task and kill the officer, completing the task. Your AI teammates tell you to stop shooting and kill you, as if you team killed. Thanks for all the work so far, this is an excellent script and has a lot of potential.

black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted July 29, 2019 You can place down a trigger for task activation of your choice, then sync it to Set Task Destination module, which should be synched to the actual Create A Task module, and the last one should be synched to the object/AI that should be followed and tracked down. In Set Task Destination change the first option to "Synchronized object" and don't unmark the other one bellow. I am not sure if you need to change the Task marker in the Create A Task module from Disabled to Synchronized object or the third possible option. But you can test it in order to work. So in the trigger's condition you can use: player knowsabout _target > 2 (for example) and when you "encounter" and see the target a following task should appear. You can use another trigger with the same condition as a Skip Waypoint and "let" the target move if further waypoints are placed after the HOLD waypoint. Then you can follow the AI with a moving task marker above him. 🙂 Use a Set Task Condition to accomplish the task, for example to kill the AI. Good luck! 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
