shockhorror 0 Posted June 20, 2008 I had this idea whilst looking around an abrams (in arma) and saw that computer screen with the eagle on. Is it possible to have a central computer, attached to the options screen, that would allow players to create sub missions for others to complete. eg. you come across enemy tanks but have no way of destroying them. you simply create an objective that others can see and accept. Dedicated pilots or indeed anyone in or with a plane or chopper could then complete your objective and earn $$$. Objectives could also be created for medivacs, transport (even vehicles to the field, hitch) specialists, etc. and it would then make sense to have medics and pilots as playable characters. What do you reckon? Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank-O 0 Posted June 20, 2008 Similar idea, but just roles set by commander, not player set objectives. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=74074 item 63: Role missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockhorror 0 Posted June 21, 2008 kind of along those lines but i think squad leaders should have the ability as they are on the front line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inkslinger 1 Posted June 22, 2008 squad leaders dont really have that kind of power. they would have to radio the info to the commander and then he would be the one making the decision. Good Idea however for side missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockhorror 0 Posted June 23, 2008 true i suppose but if you think of it like this: squad leader requests mission (request fire mission, evac etc.) HQ displays mission for others (checking for availability) mission is accepted (request granted) mission is carried out (splash) you could even have a time limit for missions so if no one accepts papa bear or who ever would say means not available or something. the idea is to replace ai involvement with players but the format would feel the same as scripts where you request cas or arty.
