Just rough draft: Got it working with: _Safedeck= s02 addEventHandler ["GetOutMan", { if (s02 distance deck < 20) then { s02 setPos [26357.365 + random [-10,0,10],17786.236 + random [-10,0,10],22.5];}}]; Version 0.3 - Added Mk17 ammo that was missing in the ammocrate by the tactical area. Thank you @Remy Lebeau - Now side-mission are random given.Thank you @Larrow and @GEORGE FLOROS GR -Added invisible walls on the deck of the carrier to avoid retarded AI falling off (thank you @AZCoder) 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 921 Posted April 26, 2018 This may just be me, but I find snakes in the snow to be immersion breaking. They're everywhere! They can be removed, only if you want to of course, this is what I have done in the past: while { alive player } do { sleep 2; { deleteVehicle _x; } forEach (player nearEntities [["Snake_random_F"], 90]); }; 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They bother me to as well, but I didn't think you could remove them. GREAT news!!! I'll definitely include that in the next changelog.

AZCoder 921 Posted April 26, 2018 Other things I noted: I did not find ammo for the 50 cal rifles (or I'm blind which is possible), had a few script errors around eos and creating vehicles, and should I be allowed to fly planes? When I see a plane, I like to fly it. I can't resist. So I flew one and my FPS dropped from around 60 to under 10. I know I'm probably breaking FAA regulations since I'm not licensed, but just mentioning it. Anyway I had a lot of fun last night. Nobody fell of the ship, was transported around fine, shot a team mate because I'm blind (but he survived). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only you're breaking FAA regulations kid, but since when an infantryman, even if it is a Ghost-recon-Special-Whatever-Forces is allowed to fly a jet off a carrier's deck?

zagor64bz 1225 Posted May 6, 2018 I'm working on the COOP/MP version of this....but I'm hitting some walls. Mostly due to my lack of knowledge about MP environment. Anyone willing to test what I have so far and help solve some bugs? Pm me and I'll send you the files... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3756 Posted May 16, 2018 Hey Zagor, just tried this mission and having a blast! Very impressed with the huge array of options and replayability. No errors encountered. Great job. My GR team loves me, as they are totally willing to be a Meat Shield to protect me: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197967305437/screenshot/913547176850602995 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have no idea how flattered I'm right now. Your opinion is VERY important to me, because since the MABUNGA mission I consider you a extreme talented mission maker. Just the fact that you use vanilla only assets and still be able to make the player feel that there's something special going on is very admirable. As a matter of facts, I'm working (as we speak) on a VANILLA version, which hopefully will cure some of the low fpm problems most player are having. Again thank you bud! ps: For this to be my first "big" mission I'm pretty satisfied, although I realise I have A LOT to learn still..but I'm working on it,...LOL. ps 2 : That "Meat shield"....hahahahahahha.... ...isn't it how you're supposed to use your teammates? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've definitely learned alot man. Your mission looks very professional. The briefing is slick and the "How to play" part is very effective at explaining the many options available to the player. I have a short attention span (and little time), so if I get stuck in a mission, or I can't figure out how to use a feature or complete the next task, I will just abandon the mission. So its important to me (and probably others) that "how to play" is very clear...so great job on that! This is my first winter mission in Arma also, and it was beautiful (cool sunrise in winter when I took down a camp). I have a feeling this is going to be my new "go to" mission whenever I need some fun unpredictable trigger time. :) I will play this in short spurts over time, trying all the different options and locations. Question: In the ammo crate on the carrier, which weapon is the shotgun? I don't recognize the weapon names from that mod. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah this a very good one to play for some quick action and not worry so much where u left off. I also have near 0 attention span so the how to was quite useful and easy to follow. I usually glaze away reading that stuff, but here my brain actually absorbed it all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly what I had in my mind when I envisioned the mission. The player can carefully plan a task like a "real" SF team with many tactical options or just roam around looking for target of opportunity, without thinking too much at any strategy.

LOL..I have the same problem....hahahahaha..... and then I just wanted to be sure that after spending so many hours making the mission and adding a bunch of stuff available, the player knows what's going on.

Godis_1 63 Posted November 21, 2018 I noticed the performance is a little bit..slow. Are there any script loops or checks constantly running? Or is it maybe the entire map is filled with spawned units that are performing actions? It's indeed playable, but not that much like most scenarios. I own a better middle-end rig (I5 7600K, 16 GB R., Radeon RX480), and as A3 is more a CPU-intensive game, my one shouldn't be an issue, I think. It's been a longer time since I've coded in SQF, and in the meantime a lot of things might have changed. But I'm pretty sure there are some possibilities to optimize things, mainly code and spawn behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm pretty sure there are some possibilities to optimize things, mainly code and spawn behavior. I'm aware of the performance issues. This ,been my first BIG mission, could be optimized a lot, I'm sure. I try to give it my best shot, based on my barely sufficient knowledge on scripts and mission making. Thrust me, making all work together wasn't an easy trip, and I wish I had someone with more "know how" on script optimization helping me out, but I did not. There're MANY scripts working together in this mission, and I'm sure they can be smoothed out... so if there's ANYONE that is so kin to take a peak inside the pbo and optimize it, I'll be trilled.
