#include "Includes\common.inc"
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "EPD\VirtualJTAC\init.sqf";
enableSaving[false,false];

//Arma 3 - Antistasi by Barbolani & The Official AntiStasi Community
//Do whatever you want with this code, but credit me for the thousand hours spent making this.
private _fileName = "init.sqf";
scriptName "init.sqf";

if (isNil "logLevel") then {logLevel = 2};
if (isNil "isSystemChatPostingAllowed") then {isSystemChatPostingAllowed = false};
Info("Init SQF started");

//Singleplayer is no longer supported
if (!isMultiplayer) then {
	["noSinglplayer",false,1,false,false] call BIS_fnc_endMission;
};

enableSaving [false,false];
mapX setObjectTexture [0, "Pictures\Mission\whiteboard.jpg"];

part of mission.sqf (unit I play):

				class Item14
				{
					dataType = "Object";
					class PositionInfo
					{
						position[] = {5534.9717,61.62156,5433.2886};
					};
					side = "Independent";
					flags = 5;
					class Attributes
					{
					    init = "this setVariable [""JTAC"",true];";
						description = "For king and country";
						isPlayable = 1;
						class Inventory
						{
							map = "ItemMap";
						};
					};
					id = 50;
					type = "I_G_medic_F";
					atlOffset = 0.00012207031;
				};

Hi Craig, sorry for the delay.

I cannot see anything obviously wrong with your files that you posted.

What messages do you see in the corner of your screen?

If you are able to use the action menu, it sounds like it is having trouble getting permission from the server to fire.

 

If you are trying to fire two times in quick succession, does it tell you that another jtac fired or the guns are still reloading? (Line 36, 38)

https://github.com/Brians200/EPD-JTAC/blob/master/EPD/VirtualJTAC/jtacfirecontrol.sqf#L36

 

 

Can you try playing with this set to true?

https://github.com/Brians200/EPD-JTAC/blob/master/EPD/VirtualJTAC/jtacsettings.sqf#L3

Can you tell me which messages you are seeing?

 

 

Without the mission on my computer, it is hard to tell from here.

Hi Sir, no worry for delay ;

 

The hint say "Rounds inbound. take cover (you can turn off your laser now)" but the fire mission doesn't occur ; Only guided missiles work perfectly ,even the Fnf option.

Others like HE grenades, bombs, smokes, flares etc doesn't spawn .

 

If you  can download any antistasi mission from steam workshop and test it ; Would be great!

I don't mind waiting.

 

Thank you for your reply.

Hi,

Is there any other way to "setVariable ["JTAC", true];" ,apart from going in the editor?

Like maybe code something in initPlayerLocal.sqf ...

Please advice.

Thank you.

You can can set it like this:

player setVariable ["JTAC",true];

 

or if you have a reference to the unit

_unit setVariable ["JTAC",true];

 

 

That will work as long as the the initPlayerLocal.sqf gets run before this line

https://github.com/Brians200/EPD-JTAC/blob/master/EPD/VirtualJTAC/init.sqf#L25-L30

 

Which I think is true based off of this:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Initialization_Order

[sammael 366]

I try to convert this into a mod but it didn't work)

Spoiler

 

 initPlayer Local.sqf

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "EPD\VirtualJTAC\init.sqf";
player setVariable ["JTAC",true];

@brians200 In update to version 1.6 of this script, you added "the ability to call in firemissions using a map". How do I get rid of that, with laser designators as the only option to request firesupport as a JTAC?

 

[brians200 51]

@bodybaq

Two options:

You can remove this line from the addAction from here and they won't be able to select it. (Make sure you delete the trailing comma from the line end of the line before)

 

Or use version 1.5

https://github.com/Brians200/EPD-JTAC/releases/tag/v1.5

The only difference in version 1.6 is the map.

[bodybaq 16]

Yep, I fell into the ], trap, classic 😄
Thank you man, you're awesome!

Had some fun last night @brians200 and added sounds to it... .
