Map tracking question

[wizzywig 0]

hi as you know im making a tomahwk addon now im wonting to add a map trackign system on a truck that is like the one on choppers that shows your position on the map with lines.

who do i do this?

is it posible to track a other unit form the truck eg. when tomahawk is launch it tracks the tomahawk and not the truck.

any help is welcomed

thanks in advance

Hmm, i don't know anything about that tracking system. Did you try it with a marker, like the GPS did? That should be realy easy to script. You'll just have to adapt the refreshing rate so that you'll see the exact position of the tomahawk.

i already have a map marker with something special as in it turns 0-360 and follows tomahawk what i mean is like on bas choppers it has a map that shows the current pos of the chopper i was wondering if its posible to use that ans track it on a map on the wall of the command center

That is done with animations in the model. For further information I recommend you to have a look in one of the models that have this feature (f.i. DKM Comanche...)

Go to the DriverView and search for selections similar to "map_x" and "map_y", study the animation classes and have a look into the script ("map.sqs" or anything like that), I think that's the best way to learn it
