FUNCTIONALITY:

Put special attention in the parameters form that script.

First it is the name of the object on which the trench will be assembled (generally a logical drive), but also it can be an object like a mounted M2 or a tube of artillery. The direction that we give this unit it will be used like direction towards which the trench will be faced.

The second parameter is the object that will be used to raise the trench. It can be a trunk of tree, one sand stock market (addon under section EMPTY/FIRESTORM-OBJECTS is included) or even can be rocks.

Whenever we know its name. (EJ: FenceWood).

Script “reads†the dimensions of the object (long, high, wide) and begins to pile up it according to the other parameters.

The third parameter talks about the circumference degrees that will include the trench. (180 will be of left

to right of the center, 360 will be all the circumference, etc).

The fourth parameter talks about the amount of rows that will be piled up of the selected object.

Fifth, it is the radius of the circumference of the trench and depends on which will protect (men, vehicles, arms).

Sixth, it is the way to pile up objects (0: he is cylindrical and 1: he is conical)

Seventh, it treats on the possibility of investing the dimensions of wide length and since some addon-makers

they do not design its objects with direction the north-south and they make it East-West.

The eighth and last parameter (optional) are an Array of 3 elements that stores modifiers of dimensions

of the object. For example, the FenceWood object - to apilarlo- it leaves underneath him, 25 centimeters empty (scale of Weapon)

that they are part of the object. Placing like third value of this one Array -0,25, we obtained that script fits the values

for a correct location and contact with the object underneath he himself.

I hope that the community takes advantage of it and we see ourselves in the battlefield (behind a good trench).

NOTE: He toldme to post this as a "sorry" for the fast rope script. This is an old work that he finished so he can use it to "buy" time.

Looks like a nifty item for Armed Asasult. I would politely ask:

If we have to pass parameters to the script can we get a  working example of an init line/trigger On Act string?

my bad. the invocation area of the script shows what we need to know

Tenches is very good idea for Arma, and your imgs look great,

I tried to use the script with no good result, look i missed somthing, "note i'm new to arma, and trying to understand the use of scripts "

I put the script in my mission folder that i creat for test, i apply scrit to a M119 and use [this,"BolsaArena",270,5,1,0,Inv_XY,[Ajx, AJy, AJz]] exec "trinchera.sqs" and i only got one sand bag near the canon, i chage the value as descripted in "Functionality" circumference degrees, Object... and i alaways got one sand bag in different position. even with other stuf like FenceWood, same result.

could you please help me to understand, or better give us an exemple.

Ps. I love the idea that we can use other stuff from arma then sand bag.

[mattxr 9]

Pretty Damm Cool if you ask me.

[jerryhopper 285]

wow,

This stuff will finally releave me from that sandbag positioning the objects in the editor... which drives me nuts!

but is the name 'trenches' correct? i thought trenches were digged in the ground.

meh, whatever - im gonna use this!

... so call my a noob BUT i am not able to get it to work if you can plz post an example or pm it to me

thx alot

Very good script!

Let's take some examples together

b1 = game logic

Script is activated by a trigger

[b1,"BolsaArena",270,5,2,0,10] exec "trinchera.sqs"

= Sandbags

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

roadcone1 = game logic

Script is activated by a trigger

[roadcone1,"RoadCone",360,1,5,0,10] exec "scripts\trinchera.sqs";

= Roadcones

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

guy1= game logic

Script is activated by a trigger

[guy1,"SoldierWB",270,1,2,0,10] exec "scripts\trinchera.sqs";

= Soldiers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[guy1,"SoldierWB",270,5,2,0,10] exec "scripts\trinchera.sqs";

= LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wall01 = game logic

Script is activated by a trigger

[wall01,"wall1",360,1,5,0,10] exec "scripts\trinchera.sqs";

= Wall (US flag placed manually)
