Spriterfight 10 Posted October 3, 2020 It is better just put his code in the mission init.sqf and call it in the trigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingtip 11 Posted October 3, 2020 everything is triggering without me even being in the trigger area including my hint... its set for blufor when present, here is the exact script i have currently entered into the trigger: hint "HEADQUARTERS: A supply drop is inbound. Ditch the wet suits and gear up, but quickly as enemy forces will certainly see the supply drop and may take action.";_position = (trg1 getRelPos [(random ((triggerArea trg1) select 0)), random(360)]); _posheli = getMarkerPos "helispawn"; _supplyheli = createVehicle ["rhs_uh1h_hidf", _posheli, [], 0, "FLY"]; createVehicleCrew _supplyheli; _supplycrate = "O_supplyCrate_F" createVehicle _posheli; _supplycrate attachTo [_supplyheli, [0, 0, -2]]; _supplycrate addEventHandler ["InventoryOpened", { params ["_unit", "_container"]; [ "AmmoboxInit", [ _supplycrate, true, {(_this distance _target) < 1} ] ] call BIS_fnc_arsenal; }]; _supplyhelicrew = crew _supplyheli; _heligroup = group (_supplyhelicrew select 0); _wp = _heligroup addWaypoint [_position,0]; _wp setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp setWaypointSpeed "Full"; _wp setWaypointBehaviour "Aware"; waitUntil {_supplyheli distance _position < 100}; _para = createVehicle ["B_Parachute_02_F", [0,0,100], [], 0, ""]; _para attachTo [_supplyheli, [0, 0, -3]]; detach _supplycrate; _supplycrate attachTo [_para,[0,0,-2]]; detach _para; _supplycrate addEventHandler ["InventoryOpened", { params ["_unit", "_container"]; [ "AmmoboxInit", [ _supplycrate, true, {(_this distance _target) < 1} ] ] call BIS_fnc_arsenal; }]; _randomPosMapNoLand = [nil, ["ground"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos; _wp2 = _heligroup addWaypoint [_randomPosMapNoLand,0]; _wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp2 setWaypointSpeed "Full"; _wp2 setWaypointBehaviour "Aware"; _wp2 setWaypointStatements ["true", "deleteVehicle _supplyheli"]; No matter where the marker is placed the heli instantly spawns and drops the supply spriter, can you add the attach to line for the _signal = "SmokeShellGreen" ?

Spriterfight 10 Posted October 3, 2020 I can but does your marker is named helispawn?try to set the activation to radio alpha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingtip 11 Posted October 3, 2020 try this and see if you get the same results as me or if it works... hopefully i uploaded this correctly as i didnt see an attachment option here for zip files https://www.dropbox.com/s/f60hxznfab5xnt7/~SpriterScript.Tanoa.rar?dl=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wogz187 1085 Posted October 3, 2020 @wingtip, I incorporated the best parts of @Spriterfight's script-- the parachute and the inventory EH on the box. Create an init.sqf or just paste this in Attribute--> Init Dialog, (or in the init of a random object-- just somewhere!).

wingtip 11 Posted October 3, 2020 this is some great stuff experimenting with both your scripts... i just tried wogz script and it worked but when it deployed the supply drop the crate came out of the heli , and the parachute deployed but the chute wasnt attached to the crate, the crate fell like a rock while the parachute floated away hahahahahahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingtip 11 Posted October 3, 2020 ummmm after you edited it, the heli comes in much sooner, to soon actually so you may want to make it spawn in further distance away. but anyways, again it comes in, drops the supply but i think its hitting the ground before the chute is fully deployed.... maybe if the rate of decent of the supplydrop is changed it would give the chute time to open.... right now its falling like a rock and the chute isnt fully opened till its already on the ground.... is this the line to change the helis start position? _veh= createVehicle ["rhs_uh1h_hidf", _pos,[],0, "FLY"]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The _pos is the position which is given at the begining of the script if you want to change the distance then find this line: private _pos = [_caller, 500, 600, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; the 500 and 600 is the radius around the caller who called the script it can be whatever you want 500m and 600m or 1000m and 1000m but change this only if oyu want the distance. ifyou want height then you can add this line [50, "ASL"] call BIS_fnc_setHeight; below this in the init.sqf and be careful. You can change the 50 this means 50 meter above sea level you can set it like 600m or whatever you want private _pos = [_caller, 500, 600, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; private _veh= createVehicle ["B_heli_light_01_f", _pos,[],0, "FLY"]; _veh allowDamage false; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 3949 Posted October 4, 2020 You guys miss our thread? Script also a module for it, has supply drop via map click or smoke signal, slingload, you can define what is being supplied, even setup arsenal for it. The script's initial creation goes back to 2013 with the idea of you throwing smoke to signal a heli your location once hes in your area. All the quirks, and things have been worked out since then. Module makes it easier as you can have ammo resupply, CAS, and transport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
