Armed Car/Submarine

[Sage 0]

This addon began as a private project to create a compact American car for OFP.  Weapons and submarine features soon followed, and I realized others might enjoy this novelty addon.

This car is equipped with a machine gun, grenade launcher and rocket launcher.  The launchers are simulated using explosive bullets and sound effects.  The passenger in the front seat becomes the gunner, simulating the weapons being fired from the sunroof.  This effect is achieved using an invisible turret on top.  To operate as a submarine, simply drive into the water, and the car will enter submarine mode.  Actions are then available to change speed and depth.  Weapons can be safely fired when at "Weapon Depth".  When at "Maximum Depth", you cannot be seen nor damaged, but you also cannot use weapons or the perisope.

Special thanks go to Mehanic for graciously allowing me to use the model from his Mazda6 addon.

Thank you very much! It's my first public addon. Now I'm working on the airship addon.

Couldn't you combine the two?

British entrepreneur Richard Branson sets out for Calais,

France, in an attempt to break the world record for crossing

the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle, June 14, 2004.

The 75,000 pounds ($135,000) Aquada amphibious car, which

seats three people, can travel at more than 100 miles per

hour (160km) on land and 30 miles per hour (50km) on sea.

Very much like the Lotus Esprit from James Bond's The Spy Who Lovd Me.

and who could forget the Blues Mobile from Blues Brothers 2000

Edit: just want to say that ive tested this using black barrons 69 corvette model inplace of the saturn (not a big fan of rice burners ) souped up with my custom Nitro booster, CD Player, and Invincabilty script (all in one) i tell yea. . . this. . . is a freakin car

just took my laid back fictional funtime to a whole new level.

Nice scripts but aint tooooooo keen on model

maybe you could do it with the lotus esprit model that is out as that would be cool. also it might be worth getting new driver proxies made as atm i got feet coming through the chassis(i live in england and dont know what a saturn is are they really rusty so feet do stick through!!!!) any wy the scripts are awsome just a few minor bugs to be ironed out and this wil be an even better addon

btw land contact LOD seems to be dodgy!

note to self: do not use repair vehicle option in action menu while submerged

Thanks for the great comments everybody. I will try to iron out some of the kinks. With this release, I wanted to get an idea of how many people actually like this kind of addon.

Also, it's cool if anybody wishes to use the scripts, invisible turret, etc for their own addons for public use. This addon was mainly intended to add a little more flavor to OFP.

The only thing i don't really like is the LOUD beeping when going into submarine mode

The sonar ping when going to maximum depth? Sorry, I didn't realize it was too loud. It was meant to emphasize that you must really on sensors when at this depth.

[Nathanz 0]

Oh sorry, its not a beep Its the sound of motors as the scope goes up.

so you mean i can put the scripts to any vehicle to make it a spy car?

afik you just slap in the

class Eventhandlers

{

init ="(_this select 0) exec {\SMW_AC\init.sqs};";

engine = "if (_this select 1) Then {[_this select 0,12,12,.1] exec {\SMW_AC\engine.sqs}} Else {}";

};

in the config of whatever car you have and it becomes a sub

currently i have the Dogde Challenger and the Corvette GSR pimped out with this script (along with my CD player, nitro boost, and invinciabilty script)

[Nathanz 0]

Those scripts would be very good for a hovercraft

Hey Pappy, i get the feeling that you are a bit of a James Bond fan like me.

This is a great addon to OFP but the only problem is that the textures look stretched but no big deal.

yes, you may use the scripts with a different model, but you may have to do some serious modification to get them to work
