Rich_R 1087 Posted March 8, 2018 This is perfect for a mission I have in mind as well. Starting the mission in a blackfish for an infantry paradrop but wanted an ammbox airdropped as well (in case anyone wants to tweak their gear). this appears to be a quick and easy fix for that.

zagor64bz 1225 Posted March 19, 2018 Hi everyone. I modified the script to add a little immersion. I added a "throw smoke or strobe" for drop position, plus some vanilla radio sound (supply request/supply dropped.ogg) that plays when you call the script. Works nice. Only thing I wish is to get a "drop denied" if smoke or strobe is not thrown.. Anyone willing to look into that? This is what I got so far.....

lordfrith 401 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) well... if you just want the script to abort then do you still need to define _signalPos in the if statement? To me it seems like either the pos is defined by the smoke grenade or not at all so i just put it after the exitWith Quote private ["_signal","_signalPos"]; if (count _signalArray == 0) exitWith { hint "you didn't throw a smoke or IR"}; _signal = _signalArray select 0; _signalPos = position _signal; ...or Quote heh redacted, it wouldn't work :( Edited March 19, 2018 by lordfrith _signalArray won't have changed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
