nuxil 2 Posted April 4, 2007 Hi.. not to spoil your fun. but i think Mr murray made a Air stike script a while ago.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UNN 0 Posted April 4, 2007 [b said: Quote[/b] ]not to spoil your fun. but i think Mr murray made a Air stike script a while ago.. Isn't that a bit off topic? What does it matter is someone has made a similar script. If Zonekiller writes a script for his own requirements, where is the harm in sharing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonekiller 175 Posted April 4, 2007 im sure many people have , but in not sure if many are like this one tho. it has differences. Thanks UNN I agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuxil 2 Posted April 4, 2007 Did i say someting wrong? i didnt mean to be negative or anything like that,,, i was just pointing out that Mr murray has already made a Air strike script.. how can i know if Zonekiller knows about Mr murrays script! yes there is no harm in sharing scripts,, I think we do it to little infact.. it helps the comunity making better "missions and scripts" and UNN yea your right,, this might have become a bit Offtopic. anyway Zonekiller i'll test your script later and have some fun with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abdecken 1 Posted April 4, 2007 good work dude this script works very well and ive already used it in my own missions with great results. Zonekiller is the an easy way to increase the amount of time between airstrikes to 60 seconds instead of 15? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crashdome 3 Posted April 4, 2007 Good to see new guys posting their work FYI: It helps us to place code tags around your script when posting for easier readability. To do this, you put [ code] and [ /code] (without that extra space I put in there) on each end. Example: [ code]My script[ /code] will look like: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">MyScript You can shortcut this, by clicking the Code button before pasting the script and then pressing it again after pasting your script.

satexas69 0 Posted April 4, 2007 I've tested it, and it's really neat! Good job! A few questions: 1. How can I increase the timeout so that the airstrike is only available say.. every 120 seconds? What script is this controlled in? 2. Is there a way to make it so that this ONLY works for a specific player or class in the game? (hugely important to me) - that way EVERYONE can't just keep calling airstrikes, etc etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonekiller 175 Posted April 4, 2007 In the Radio Alpha Trigger you could put in the activation  This && player == Leader player that way only the leader player can use the radio to make a time limit you might try calling the airstrike script from another script ie In the Radio Alpha Trigger you change the [] exec "airstrike.sqs to [] exec "airstrikeStart.sqs" make a new script call it airstrikeStart.sqs [] exec "AirStrike.sqs" ~10 showRadio false ~60 showRadio True hint "Air Strike Squad Now Ready" Exit somthing like that Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like it to be more the "role" attached to a specific playable unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

satexas69 0 Posted April 5, 2007 ZoneKiller, I like your script, have been playing with it a lot - but I'm having a couple troubles with it... I'm trying to use it simply as a tool for the west - but If I try to REMOVE the EAST stuff (marker/su) or just move the EAST trigger to a small size and "out of the way", it seems to "break" the WEST bombing calls.. true? Also, it seems to "mess up" if someone flies over or get's near the WEST trigger since you put variables into it... advise? If I'm being goofy, any way you can strip out some of the stuff in your demo down to a "west only" type air-strike calling script? Thanks! EDIT: To keep people from doing a billion airstrikes at once OR the guy in charge of airstrikes "abusing" the mission by using it too much, and such - I played with adding a ~120 in the script which causes the "please wait" to last longer, which seemed good for my multiplayer mission testing.

cj 1 Posted April 6, 2007 I love this script, it works FINE for BLUFOR, but in my mission I REALLY need it for Independant, is there any way to get this for Independant? I changed the trigger to "Independant" rather than "BLUFOR" but it gave me a load of errors? Any help would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mder 0 Posted April 7, 2007 is there any way you can convert this so it can be used with artillary also? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abdecken 1 Posted April 8, 2007 thanks for your helpful reply ZoneKiller, you really made my day satexas69 i think you only need to copy the triggers for west and the airport marker and the airstrike script to your own missions. everything you need are mentioned in the readme or comments in the script i think.

satexas69 0 Posted April 9, 2007 (abdecken @ April 08 2007,20:03) said: satexas69 i think you only need to copy the triggers...... Yes, I did some basic modifying, and it seems to work better. There's an inherit problem in MP mode when a player calls more than one airstrike at a time (meaning, 2 are queued up and flying, but haven't bombed YET) - so I'd really advise everyone to make sure you do ONE at a time.. let it finish before calling the next one.

Novusordo 0 Posted April 23, 2007 what the hell zonekiller why has every unit/waypoint/object - EVERYTHING - been cloned after using your script??? I merged your mission with mine to use your script and took out the crap unrelated to airstrikes that u put in there and now its all gone tits up. WHY HAS EVERYTHING CLONED ITSELF? i'm using murrays airstrike script now and it wont works cos the harriers it spawns get cloned and crash mid air. what the fuck has your script done to my mission. tell me how the hell this has happend.
