Brahma281 11 Posted March 30, 2020 Hello everyone! I need start script when you call support through the command menu. Is it possible to implement this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 977 Posted March 31, 2020 Should be possible via communication menu https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Communication_Menu simplest to do would be by radio menu though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you write step by step what should I do?I'm just not that good at scripts yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opusfmspol 280 Posted March 31, 2020 1. Give better information. It was put in the local player init script, or in the player's init attribute field in editor? The discussion indicated the editor field inits wouldn't work. Should go in a local player init script. 2. The event handler is checking player and object variables, so the handler should not get added until player and the modules have initialized. 3. The handler doesn't check for the variables being nil. You want to include isNil checks to deal with when they come back nil. 3. Post the error given. Tough to guess when not given. But maybe the object variables are nil if they haven't yet been set. 4. Also should post the code as you have used it. We could assume you copy pasted accurately, but hey, sometimes not, it happens. 5. Pay attention to @Larrow's given description of the conditions. Third condition checks for a support being in progress. Is that what you want? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brahma281 11 Posted March 31, 2020 @opusfmspol Do not regard my request as arrogance,but if you would be so kind,can you make an example mission where everything works? And will this code work in the co-op mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harzach 2517 Posted April 1, 2020 I've been seeing this a lot lately, people finding themselves with curled quotes or other "special" characters as a result of copy/pasting from ... I don't know exactly, some sort of formatted text from the forums or Reddit or something. Sometimes, it's worth it to just copy it out by hand if you are having weird issues like this. Good luck, have fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because, except with the artillery module, this does not work, for example, I change arty_1 to heli1 while having a transport module with the same name, but it does not work. And how to make it in one so that for artillery I could enter one code, for transport heli another, for CAS another etc. Excuse me for my lack of education, I do not understand such things at all ===== UPD===== I made it work, but it works only with virtual modules, but how to do it with the usual ones to which arty/heli is synchronized? And the question about how to do all in one for each module, so that each support call will activate its specific script, is relevant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
