Civi's with Medic Ability and Anim menu

[Kerry 0]

Hey everyone,

I need some help with this upcoming mission I am working on. I am rather unexpierienced with ArmA scripting, but very framiliar with the editor. All I need is for you to point me in the right direction. I need for the iraqi civs to be able to heal people, just as a medic does in game. Also, I would like for the civ's to have an animation menu, similar if not the same one in Sahrani Life. I UNPBO'd Sahrani life, but there was just a load of scripts named 445567 (Multiple digit names), and I searched for a little bit.

Would that iraqi civ thing have to be like another addon??

thanks

addon wise it would be easy

not sure about a scripting solution

What you can do is give players a action when they're close to the medic, and have the action do the following:

1: start a animation of getting healed

2: Set the damage to 0

Hold on for 2 min I'll post something that might do the trick. New to the whole editing so forgive me if I don't get it right the 1st time

Ok try this

Place a trigger and put the following in the con. field

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">( { ( _x distance medic1 )<2 }count( units group player ) )>0 AND (alive medic1) AND ((damage player)>0.1)

this on the on act. field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">healaction = medic1 addAction [ "Heal at medic","heal.sqf" ]

Create a little script called "heal.sqf" and make it look like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player playMove "AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_healed";

removeAction healaction;

healaction = -1;

player setdamage 0;

exit

Now I'm not sure if this would heal just the player or all the players in the mission, I think only the player calling the script will do the animation and get healed. Please let me know if it works or not, had to rush it, I'm about to miss my train

Cheers!

Thank you!!!

I got it workin from your example:

player playMove "AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_healed"

player removeAction healaction

healaction = 1

player setdamage 0

exit

But, it doesnt remove the action once the player is healed.   But, it gets removed if I go to "medic2". It will only let me heal if I am damaged at medic2...

I duplicated the script by having another trigger exec "heal2.sqs"

I also made it an sqs instead of sfs, simply because I dont know how. I use ArmA edit

Well to be honest I don't even know the real difference between sqf and sqs... Except that SQF is the "newer, better" way of scripting...

I could probably test it out myself and fix where-ever I went wrong... But for some reason I'm unable to produce anything useful today (at least until a few hours from now )

I'll help you out once my mind is a bit more straight again

Read the wiki for the addAction command. It explains how to make it disappear after use. Search google for: arma scripting commands
