Rifle Qualifacation

[AKK 0]

I got bored one day and after a while of sqs debuging and o2 debuging I created a funcional M16a2 range based on the variouse ranges I have qualified on.

It gathers target hit info and gross score which, is presented at the end of the session

My question is: Is there any uses in the community for this type of addon?

[Silent N Deadly 0]

Maybe for training and testing new rifles.

[AKK 0]

This addon does however need a good scripter to look at the scripts. I am sure that they could be optimized. Although my scripting is poor it still works with very rare problems which are only encountered when using crewserve or stronger type weapons.

Quote[/b] ]Maybe for training and testing new rifles

I thought that maybe squads could use it to check the mustard of people wanting to join.

I also did it to help promote better aiming habits for myself.

I attemted to make one so that AI could be tested out for response and acuracy but I hit some walls and left that alone and started a Civy timed pistol range and score board(which are working although there are some bugs).

if anyones interested

Yes, I think we need this!

[AKK 0]

Well I would love to get it out there but I scincearly think the scripts need some work,

Here is the controll script which gets its info from a script run through the init EH. I think that somehow it needs some dynamic additions to allow globals to be used in the editor to change target times etc.

Could you make a short Mission ;)

[philcommando 0]

err...are u attempting something like this

Quote[/b] ]Malick,Feb. 06 2005,12:38 on VBS's AAR

Well, as far as I know, AAR is a real report with a full debriefing, not only a video replay of the mission. I read that it includes and traces on the map the movements of all troops, who fired a gun, with what efficiency... It gives the overall performance for each side, as compared to OFP that only tells you who you killed, and who died in your squad. It may not seem so much of a revolution, but it is pretty useful.

edit: By the way, is anybody able to script something similar, or is it too complicated to even think of it ? I'm able to tell ingame what the losses are on each side, but can not export it to debriefing...

[mr burns 132]

a shame that xezon quit editing for ofp, im sure he´d be able to write a little AAR script  

the rifle range is a good idea though, thumbs up

[Silent N Deadly 0]

Those pictures looks really good. Im starting to like the idea more and more.

[AKK 0]

Quote[/b] ]Could you make a short Mission ;)

none needed all you need is the addon I made. It is self contained all that is needed is to place the addon on the map and it does the rest.

Quote[/b] ]err...are u attempting something like this

No. the above .sqs is the actual range manager that moves the targets up and down as well keeps track of all target hits.

Quote[/b] ]Those pictures looks really good. Im starting to like the idea more and more.

 yaay I hoped people might dig this

I also know how to do round bulls eye targets with point rings  

thought of it last night

Just think there could be the "Camp Perry" for ofp.

A big ol shootin' match for the community ;)

[MontyVCB 0]

im interested in this

[AOCbravo2004 0]

wow, that looks great mate. It could really be useful, good job!!!

[Silent N Deadly 0]

The simplicity of it is great. This is gonna be a good one. I can imagine many missions and stuff where this can be used.

[AKK 0]

Well if anyone wants to give a hand on this let me know

I surely could use some advice and some input. This is in game and like I said works very well. There is also a 25 meter pistol range (civ style) with an updating scoreboard in this addon. But it has some probs. I mean it works it just needs something.

Also I think that the Stat's display could or should be done in a dialouge for ease of reading. And I have VERY limited dialouge skills

I would also like some ideas for a sniper range and maybe a light and heavy MG range.

The models are simple and do not need to be "fancy".

IE they can be made simply and quickly.

But the main thing is I would appreciate some input from the community.

Any way thanks all.

Wherever a cry for help with scripting, I am here to help!

Sure, I will help, yes, I will, whatcha need?

[CAPAIRMAN 0]

Great idea. I could see some online shooting matches happening.

[Bobcatt666 0]

this be perfect for that little addon testing island that has a number of ranges on it. SP-range island I think its called.

[AKK 0]

Quote[/b] ]Wherever a cry for help with scripting, I am here to help!

groovy.

Well I cant just "simply" explain witout someone looking this over in and out of the game. But mostly I need a good scripter too look @ ALL the scripts and see what if any or all optimizes can be made to ensure  quality and stability.

I also need a CPP guy too do some changes on this to make some class changes. and get the best funcionality.

the rifle range has three scripts

#1: the init which places all the targets and sends all target info to script #2.

#2: is the one I posted which controlls the range

#3: is the printing script which currently dispays all the info with the "HintC" command

The scripts are currently Non Multiplayer compatible. So that should be changed. And Due to the global variables I am using you can only run one M16 range at a time. And like I said. I think the use of dialouges for stat display would be better than using the HintC command.

I also think that these scripts could and should be done so that changes to the timing,scoring,target placement and maybe rounds or other dynamic facets I have not thought of can be made in the editor.

And again I would like some ideas for more ranges and maybe how they should be set up.

The only ranges I ever Qualified on were the M16,Grenade,M203 and Demolition. I also did alot of building at the tank ranges. but thats been some time.

I also recall doing some work at the sniper range at my post but If I remember right it was a simple 1/2 day job and I only remember the basic layout and never saw it in action.

I'm just not "Suuuuuuper addon guy to the rescue !!" so any help is greatly appreciated

[Sepe 1]

This makes me want to download America's Army...

I think a range like that would rock. Surely we need a sniper range and a M203 range... This could be a MP mod "Malden's Army"

[HuNtA 0]

if your ever gonna do any target competitions, you should email Col. Klink and ask how to use DIB on targets (so we can actually see where it was hit)
