pognivet 150 Posted October 19, 2018 Nothing complicated. Just looking for some script that'll let me have AI drag another AI from a field to a helicopter. Anyone know of a simple way to do this? Alternatively, do you know of any sort of automated MEDEVAC script that works with AI? Thanks. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know of a simple way to do this? Alternatively, do you know of any sort of automated MEDEVAC script that works with AI? Thanks. I did a quick search myself and there's nothing really available with medivac for arma 3. You could try converting this to arma 3, with permission of course. https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/90834-medevac-module/ There's also this in regards to ai dragging/carrying injured ai to safety and healing them. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19424 You might have to try and create what you want yourself unfortunately.

Just looking for some script that'll let me have AI drag another AI from a field to a helicopter. unless its carefully crafted for a cinematic cutscene (and then why not just use another person?), this is complicated enough that no one has come up with a solution in 5+ years. your best bet is to clear the terrain around the body, have the helo land near the body and teleport the body inside. an automated medevac system is possible, using this concept ^, but still not an easy thing to script, depending on how sandboxy/dynamic you want it. if you want it dynamic, you'll need an AI system to monitor for incapacitated soldiers (plausible), dispatch an appropriate helo (plausible), land nearby (plausible), teleport the body onboard (plausible), take off and land somewhere else (plausible). all doable, but not something you can cook up in 15 minutes. you'll also need a control structure to ensure only 1 medevac is in progress at any one time, or ensure that each medevac helo is assigned appropriately so 2 dont go to collect 1 wounded for instance. to incorporate a believable on-foot component as well (where a medic dismounts the helo, runs to the body, attaches the body, and then runs back to the helo, loads the body and then mounts the helo again), would be quite a difficult thing to script reliably, requiring a whole nother level of AI management, to monitor for all the correct states (landed+mounted, landed+dismounted,moving to body, at body, attach body, moving to helo, at helo+dismounted, mounted) 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pognivet 150 Posted August 23, 2019 i don't see why you think it's that crazy of a concept to just use attachto and play some animations, move a guy 20 feet and do moveincargo with the wounded guy while cancelling the animations. i just need some way of making it not look stupid. and yes quicksilver that is essentially what i have in mind. but why clear the terrain and make the helo land on top of the wounded? there's a function in arma for finding the nearest safest landing spot that's flat. i forget what it's called. the helicopter can dynamically find a safe lz (in theory), but i just need some mechanism to physically move that wounded man to that lz. i assumed that just doing attachto with drag animations like ace does for dragging would be simple enough, but i have no idea how to make an ai drag someone, only a player. the medevac helo can land with a medic ai whose sole job is to perform the dragging so it's not too much of an issue to try to find someone to drag them in a dynamic way. the other solution is to have some sort of ambulance take them to the lz, but this might be difficult owing to the behavior of driving ai in rough terrain. one mod, i forget which, had a stretcher "vehicle" which could be crewed by two people and used in this strange way. i think it was the swedish mod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
