Silverguy 0 Posted May 11, 2003 Does anyone know if a Laser Range Finder addon exists and where can I find them? I heard from a guy last night that they do indeed exist. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 12, 2003 Distance indicators? well i seek for too ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted May 12, 2003 What's the point? When you have acquired a target it tells you the range...Also when you right click on a contact (whether a vehicle or infantry) it gives you an approximate range...And what would be the point of knowing the exact range? Would it be for artillery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1carbine9 0 Posted May 12, 2003 yeah i was thinking about that addon too, but released that OFP has a built in one in thru the players eye, how convient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinger 1 Posted May 12, 2003 The "range indicator" given in the radio information is very imprecise: 1000/500/200/100/50m Unless you play in cadet mode, you don't get a range indication You don't get a range indication for objects that aren't bandits. The answer is: there are conversions out there to turn the Laser Designator into a Laser Designator/Range Finder. It's not so much an addon, but a set of scripts. This is because they ideally work with triggers. YOu can make a scan script, but it would be a little much on the cpu time for an addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverguy 0 Posted May 12, 2003 thanks for the suggetions guys. But no, that all is not what I'am looking for. I make sniper maps to play online, people vs people. And I have found the range finders in cadet mode to be inaccurate and I think that is somewhat cheating when you move your cursor and it instantly shows the man's range and gives his position. What i need is a laser range finder, a true one that you can pull out temporarily like the Binoculars. So you can get the range of a target when it is sighted. I would not want a laser designator either because that too would give off someone's position with it sticking out of bushes and what not. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hitman[SWAF] Posted May 12, 2003 I have thought about this too, would be good for sniper spotters. But I think its quite much impossible in OFP. But who am I to say? Waiting for someone to make it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-CCCP-Stalker 0 Posted May 12, 2003 It is one in Dingers Arty Suite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Captain 0 Posted May 12, 2003 You could just duct tape a script to the laser designator itself... Use a getpos and some math and a 'laser designator trapper' script, and you could display the range using titletext or a looping hintbox (Which woud be kind of annoying) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
