Air Support Script - (Errors)

[Gunter Severloh 4071]

AirSupport

Ported to Arma3 by VinceMagic

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24057

This script was originally created by Draper his original thread for his A2OA version seen here

I been a big fan of this script for years, used it in alot of my missions in A2OA, now using VinceMangic's ported version for arma3, im getting issues, and errors

tested in sp editor and hosted mp lan, same issues.

     Since Vince dont have a thread for his script, and Draper hasn't been on the forum since 2014 :(  maybe the community here we could

sort out these few errors that the script has, all credits due to the original authors of course!

==================

Mission

• All you need in a mission is a player named m1 or m2, and a empty object, or maker named--->  aspad which is where the helis and jets spawn at.
• Once ingame you will get the word airsupport in your action menu, it will be there regardless if you respawn or not, so its persistent.
• You can change the classnames of the helis or the fighter jets that spawn, in the airsup / airSupInit.sqf script, also so the requirement on the download page of the script is only needed if you want to use that plane for your Jet bomb, or cas runs.
• The extra stuff in VinceMagic's demo mission like the commander module and subordinate aren't needed, this is how the script described above was originally ran with just player (m1), and aspad object anywhere.

=====================

Script Errors

The only thing that works with this script is the call transport heli, and attack heli, everything else there are errors and the jets dont work.

So when you call for anything with the jets it goes through its procedure where you need to click on the map for the target, and when you do you get a message

on the screen (not script error) "sortie was shot down"

 

The errors (from my rpt) apon start of the mission, and as well as calling the helis and jets:

So can we sort out these few errors, and maybe send Foxhound an updated version for Vince's page and for those that love this script, and anyone else interested in this?

I take no credit for this, nor claim anything of it just trying to get a cool fun script working in A3 is all, i always give credits where due!
