Airdrop Arsenal

[Dramacius 8]

I can't find any hints on google for what commands I need to look at to create script to have an airdrop of an arsenal box drop at a player marked location.

Anyone able to point me to the right examples for me to learn from please?

The goal is to have the player radio call an airdrop which will drop the arsenal box somewhere near their location.

 

I would like it to have a cargo plane fly overhead from a random direction and drop the arsenal.

Bonus points if I can require the player to mark the location with smoke, chemlights or laser designator.

You can use the BI support module (virtual or not) and write a code in the "crate init" field. Something like:
 

_this addAction ["Arsenal",{["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal},nil,10,false,true,"",""];

 

If you want more elaborated drop, especially choosing any crate (must be an ammo crate) or any vehicle (cars,ships,UAVs), you can use my "drop vehicle instead of crate" module in complement of BI virtual module.

Ahem Hermes Airlift Services Mod can do that for you and more, with smoke, with glow sticks, paradrop it, or sling load it.

Script version is linked there too.

I really like HAS but its way way overkill for my server we had it on our old server that was running Altis but could only get the mod version working and don't want to add another mod to our already very large modlist (we are trying to condense it down)

all I want is to have a players able to call in an Ace Arsenal as they need when there is no zues online to create one but to keep with immersion I would like for it to be air dropped in, much like PUBG air drop I supose.

This is highly likely to be in a heavy combat zone.

Changed how I want the mission to handle the arsenal.

I would like to have the arsenal arrive after 50% of the enemies are killed.
I have a script that is keeping track of the alive enemies so am able to tie that into it easily enough with a waitUntil.

I will post the mission sqf later when I am back on my main PC.

You can fake it like they do in the movies.

 

A trigger causes-

a cargo aircraft to fly over then:

cargo with parachute appears in the sky next to the aircraft giving the impression that it was dropped by the aircraft (it wasn't) then:

appears to land in bushes then:

you walk over to the bushes and the cargo is there. (Actually it was beamed over when the trigger fired.)

 

The players get the impression that it all went to plan 🙂
