Just to know , i will be off the next whole week (in hospital) , so check everything that you would like to do about , in order to include them , change or fix!

I wish you a quick and long lasting recovery my friend! I've just sent you my whole mission so you can see your Mission Scripts in action (in lite form). Now you have something to play besides scripting until you get to the hospital and then this mission will give you something to think about for the whole week! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSValmont 789 Posted January 13, 2019 I was going to suggest for the Air Drop mission that you could perhaps spawn a cargo plane when players are near the location for even more immersion =) Just a quick flyby and then delete it. By the way, you will get lots of inspiration just from trying my HunterZ mission. If you get enough Intel Points even President Floros himself will ask you to escort him to his famous public speeches! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I solved the player command problem by using 2 simple functions: Spoiler closestObject = { params ["_list","_object","_order","_script"]; if (isNil "_order") then {_order = true}; if (isNil "_script") then {_script = "Nil";}; private _position = [0,0,0]; if (isNil "_object" || {isNil "_list"}) exitWith {_closestObject = [0,0,0];_closestObject}; switch (TypeName _object) do { case "OBJECT": {_position = getPosATL _object;}; case "STRING": {_position = getMarkerPos _object;}; case "ARRAY": {_position = _object;}; case "GROUP": {_position = (getPosATL (leader _object));}; }; private _distanceArray = []; if (typeName _list isEqualTo "SCALAR") then {systemChat format ["_script: %1",_script];}; private _newObjectDistance = 0; { if !(isNil "_x") then { _compareObjectPos = [0,0,0]; switch (TypeName _x) do { case "OBJECT": {_compareObjectPos = getPosATL _x;}; case "STRING": {_compareObjectPos = getMarkerPos _x;}; case "ARRAY": {_compareObjectPos = _x;}; case "GROUP": {_compareObjectPos = (getPosATL (leader _x));}; }; _newObjectDistance = _compareObjectPos distance2D _position; _distanceArray pushback [_newObjectDistance,_x]; }; } forEach _list; _distanceArray sort _order; private _closestObject = ((_distanceArray select 0) select 1); if (isNil "_closestObject") then {_closestObject = [0,0,0];}; _closestObject }; closestPlayer = { Private _allPlayables = playableUnits; private _closestPlayer = [_allPlayables,_this,true,"1"] call closestObject; if (isNil "_closestPlayer") then {_closestPlayer = [0,0,0]}; _closestPlayer }; And then you do this in the mission files: waitUntil { sleep 1; private _closestPlayer = _Offroad call closestPlayer; (_closestPlayer distance2d _Offroad < 25) }; I am guessing this should be Dedicated server compatible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GF_Missions_allPlayers = allUnits select {isPlayer _x && {!(_x isKindOf "HeadlessClient_F")}}; I don't know if there is something better . ( BUT you never know ! ) anyone else ?! That approach works very very well but I believe: - It requires a trigger to check if any GF_Missions_allPlayers are near the location? - It cannot be used to individualize the closest player to a location. Only perhaps the leader of the group or a random player inside the GF_Missions_allPlayers array can be individualized using this method. So if for example a player who is not the leader nor the selected random player by the script and that player gets close to _Offroad he will not trigger the waitUntil and that is why it must rely on triggers. I was looking for a simple alternative that is faster and more reliable than triggers (triggers sometimes spawn at the wrong location or even do not work right at all for me for some reason) and that is why I came up with this... but now I am using those functions for everything like getting the : _closestEnemy, _closestAlly, _closestMedic, _closestVehicle etc etc... it is very useful and saves a lot of time/resources and makes mission making easier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted January 18, 2019 @all: ready, willing and able for some MP action at the weekends; one thing to check out for sure is @bl2ck dog 's persistent mission - sounds like an awesome lot of fun & I had a good time with an earlier version of it when trying it some time ago. Or I host a mission on my dedi server, can be one of my "story" missions from SWS or anoth mission of your choice. Only major drawback for most of you is probably my timezone. I'm German and that means CET. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, here is an example so you can see what I am talking about more clearly: Your original script using GF_Missions_allPlayers (One trigger, 3 WaitUntils): _Trigger_Present = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _Pos_1]; _Trigger_Present setTriggerArea [GF_Missions_Attack_Distance, GF_Missions_Attack_Distance, 0, false]; _Trigger_Present setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "PRESENT", false]; _Trigger_Present setTriggerStatements ["this","",""]; waitUntil {count list _Trigger_Present > 4}; waitUntil {count list _Trigger_Present < 3}; waitUntil { { _x distance _Trigger_Present < GF_Missions_Attack_Distance } count GF_Missions_allPlayers > 0 ;}; deleteVehicle _Trigger_Present; My script using _closestPlayer (Cero triggers, 1 waitUntil): waitUntil {sleep 1; private _closestPlayer = _Pos_1 call closestPlayer; _aliveEnemies = allUnits select {(side _x isEqualTo east) && (!isPlayer _x) && (alive _x) && (_x distance2d _Pos_1 < 1000) && (_x distance _closestPlayer < 1000)}; _remainigEnemies = (count _aliveEnemies); (_remainigEnemies < 3 && _closestPlayer distance2d _Pos_1 < 1000) }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted again in RAVAGE main thread; was an accident I hijacked your thread. Your missions will ofc see some good use in my own future mission projects; I think it might be a good idea to wait for your next version if LSValmont's ideas really help performance wise. Haven't yet tried the current version of your missions framework extensively though so I can't say if it really impacts performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted January 18, 2019 9 minutes ago, tourist said: wait for your next version if LSValmont's I can tell you already , that if you may have notice notice LSValmont's post for his new Campaign ! This will be also an updated new Script - Mod for Ravage Exclusive sort of . I can 't say more , because so else it's LSValmont 's project !
