Fire support for the player's group

[Casio91Fin 31]

My coop idea is how players would get fire support for their missions.

If there are more than 3 players in a player group then group leader could get a fire support command. (Radio commands 1. artillery, 2. air support, 3.missile attack and something else )

Is it possible to do?

You can check for the number of players in a group (loop) then add or remove the link between the leader (player!) and the BI module requester.
All other links, so between requester <> support module(s) + support module(s) <> supporting assets (if not virtual) can be present in editor (preferably).

 

something like, in init.sqf:

say your requester module is named:   request  in editor

 

[] spawn {
  waitUntil {allPlayers isNotEqualTo []};
  private _candidateGroups = [];
  private "_leaderSup";
  while {true} do {
    {
      _x setVariable ["passedForSup",TRUE,TRUE];
      _x spawn {
        _grp = _this;
        while {!isNull _grp} do {
          waitUntil {sleep 1;  isPlayer leader _grp && {isPlayer _x} count units _grp >2 };
          _leaderSup = leader _grp;
          if (local _leaderSup) then {
            [_leaderSup,request,objNull] call BIS_fnc_addSupportLink;
          };
          waitUntil {sleep 1;  !isPlayer leader _grp or {isPlayer _x} count units _grp <=2 };
          if (local _leaderSup) then {
            [_leaderSup,request] call BIS_fnc_removeSupportLink;
          };
        };
      };
    } forEach (allGroups select {isNil {_x getVariable "passedForSup"}});
    sleep 2;
  };
};

Not tested, sorry.

@pierremgi I'm going to test today

- Works well. I tested with artificial intelligence and it works flawlessly.
