check if player see a unit in his Binoculars

[Play3r 147]

Hey to all you great scripters in the A3 forum.

 

I want to make a kind of a small intro to a game i want to make, that involves the player being a spotter for a Ai Sniper,

when the player have spotted the target with his binoculars the Ai will  shot the target.

 

To make it simple:

the target is named Targetoff

Ai sniper is named AiShooter

 

I have set up a trigger with this in ACT.

Aishooter DoTarget targetoff; Aishooter DoFire Targetoff; Targetoff setdamage 0.95;

 

All i need is a COND for my trigger.

I have tried to put a radio Alfa and that works great so the Ai DoFire at the targetoff.

 

if there is a tread in the forum plz guide me to it, i have tried to do a search but did came up empty handed.

A simple knowsabout check should do it.

If the player knows about a unit, the information immediately jumps above 0 and is shared with all other members of the group.

You can check for player or group player, makes no difference:

group player knowsabout targetoff > 0

Cheers

Thanks @Grumpy Old Man

But will that not fire the trigger if the AiSniper see him first before the player does ?

it looks like the AiSniper fires before i find the TargetOff even if i look the other way.

Yeah, but what about combining that with cursorTarget or cursorObject, as well as a check for the binos being looked through?

currentWeapon player in ["Laserdesignator", "Laserdesignator_01_khk_F", "Laserdesignator_02", "Laserdesignator_02_ghex_F", "Laserdesignator_03", "Laserdesignator_mounted", "Laserdesignator_pilotCamera", "Rangefinder"]

Is how I check if the player is using the binos or rangefinder etc

Can will return "GUNNER" if the player is actually looking through the optics.

The you can use cursorobject as @beno_83au suggested

maybe like this:

put this in the AiShooter's init:

AiShooter disableAI "MOVE";
AiShooter disableAI "TARGET";
AiShooter disableAI "AUTOTARGET";

and maybe this in a trigger:

[] spawn { 

while {alive TargetOff} do { 
      	
	if (currentWeapon player == "Binocular" && cameraView == "Gunner" && cursorObject == TargetOff) then {  
	if (!lineIntersects [getPosASL Aishooter, getPosASL Targetoff] && [getposatl AiShooter,getdir AiShooter,45, getposatl TargetOff] call BIS_fnc_inAngleSector) then {  
  	AiShooter doTarget TargetOff;  
  	AiShooter forceWeaponFire [weaponState AiShooter select 1, weaponState AiShooter select 2];};  
  		};
	};  
};

};

 

@Alert23 i keep getting a error either i put this in the COND or ACT filed of my trigger.

 

If i put inside the COND it says :

Type script, expected Bool

and i get a something about the script with a # in the first line of code.

 

If i put it inside ACT ist says :

On activation Type Script expected Nothing..

 

What can i be doing wrong, do i need to use CBA to get the script to work??

 

thanks

On activation:
 

[] spawn {
AiShooter doTarget TargetOff;
sleep 1;  
AiShooter forceWeaponFire [weaponState AiShooter select 1, weaponState AiShooter select 2];};
