Petersang 14 Posted April 28, 2020 Hello everyone, I am trying to find on the internet a script to do SAR adn extraction missions as an helicopter pilot, but everything that I came across is to old to be used. My idea is : The Helicopter pilot is a player, and his mission is picking up injured troops or civilian from certain point. So basicly the pilot knows where to go lands the ai civilians/troops get in and he devilers them in the campaing hospital. Does anyone got any idea how to do this ? Thanks in advance ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zagor64bz 1225 Posted April 28, 2020 Not really clear on what you want to achieve here. The SAR mission will be "stand-alone" or one time only, or it's more like role-playing where the player has to fulfill a series of SAR missions? Like...you're sitting in a base, and when you get the call you go to the marker, SAR the dude and RTB. Rinse and repeat somewhere else on the map...and so on. It makes a huge difference because if it is one time only, that's easy; you basically set up the event in the editor (even whit random location at THE START of the mission). If it is more like a mini-campaign it needs more effort. Enlight us, please. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all sorry for not make my idea so clear, but like you said, my goal is to have one pilot (or more if possible) and they get the call to SAR/Extract someone or a group they go execute , RTB and it repeats itself in some other locations throught the mission time yes.

OK, that's more clear on what you're looking for. Now, a couple more things: Will the pilot "duty" be to only SAR, or this kind of mission needs to pop up randomly within other tasks? As far as "more players if possible" I'm not an MP expert, but I'll try my best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petersang 14 Posted April 28, 2020 If will help there is this mission here, its old but seems that SAR part is still working. I am not able to understand or isolate that part.

Petersang 14 Posted April 28, 2020 Nice. My final objective is putting this in action in a Vietnam War mission. I have tryed for a few days to take something out of that mission but my scripting skill are way to low for it 😄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zagor64bz 1225 Posted April 28, 2020 OK...I opened up the mission in the editor...it is indeed complicated (perhaps for my rusty-mission making knowledge) to EASILY isolate just the SAR part. I'll have to play with it more...or start from scratch. Be patient..I'll sees what I can do, mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wogz187 1085 Posted April 29, 2020 A reliable heli extraction script is on my TODO list. I'll work on that next and post any results here. Have fun! Spoiler Technically this is already super-easy with the MMF_framework but I'd like to make a stand-alone function. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For getting an AI to enter the basket you can check out https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2030960722 for the standalone CH-46 version. If you look for a script that rescues you via the basket, look at https://tetet.de/arma/arma3/CH-46/missions/rescue2.Stratis.7z Cheers, TeTeT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petersang 14 Posted April 29, 2020 @TeTeT i appreciate that but i am trying to simulate UH-1 extractions like they were done at the time. I really enjoy arma but in a MilSim looking. And what I am looking for CH-46 or CH-53 is a no go helicopter for it. Thanks anyways xD. I really would like to know scripting cause the idea seems pretty simple, but we all know arma xD@zagor64bz if you find some way to do it let me know pls.

I really would like to know scripting cause the idea seems pretty simple, but we all know arma xD How do you simulate a wounded person? Just by some bandages applied (available in Unsung) or as unconscious with some injury framework (AIS by psychobastard comes to mind)? The idea sounds interesting, if I can think of something I'll add it to the Khe Sanh random helo transport mission and you can re-use the script if you like. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking on that yeah, just some bandages applied to soldiers and civilians to be extracted. Ill have a look to that mission you linked. Thanks 😉 And btw i am using unsung mod, great mod ! 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wogz187 1085 Posted April 29, 2020 @Petersang, I wrote a draft of the script last night. It can be repeated any time and configured for many different types of scenarios. Includes: A "Mission Ready" button A configurable call to determine location, number/type of people to be rescued, damage level of rescuees. Pop smoke. Task markers Load and unload group actions Will test and upload today. Have fun! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was testing @TeTeT mission , and is close of what I want but is more insertion/transport related, thats really good work, but I was really looking for the SAR/Extract feature. I'll wait for the upload 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wogz187 1085 Posted April 29, 2020 @Petersang, The variable: missionNameSpace setvariable ["hasGroup",0]; is both unused and configured incorrectly-- can safely be deleted. This script will be included in the next MMF_Framework Demo which is a pretty comprehensive air-base scenario. Will post a link when it's ready.
