Example scripts that use the attachTo command

[g-man-853 10]

Hi all,

The script works for me but unfortunately it stopped to work after the first respawn of the c130. :confused:

Tested on "Co_30_EvolutionUSMC_v08.Chernarus".

I am having the same problem tested it with "co30_Domination_1_00A2T10_West.Chernarus"

C-130j Initialization:res=[this] execVM "c130cargo.sqf";handle = [this, 120] execVM "x_scripts\x_vehirespawn2.sqf"

C130J

_vehicle_21 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
 _this = createVehicle ["C130J", [4621.999, 2555.9509], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
 _vehicle_21 = _this;
 _this setDir 121.27563;
 _this setVehicleInit "[this] execVM ""C130\C130cargo.sqf"";";
};

MV22

_vehicle_23 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
 _this = createVehicle ["MV22", [4648.8774, 2579.8801], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
 _vehicle_23 = _this;
 _this setDir 166.91376;
 _this setVehicleInit "[this] execVM ""mv22\mv22cargo.sqf"";";
};

I create 2 directory and renamed the script: one for C130j and one for MV22.

(I made some modifications > C130J can drop Tank but MV22 doesn't.)

It works, but only once :j:

I've posted an respawnscript somewhere on this forum that allows to save an init-line for respawning. That should do the trick.

Otherwise the script would have to be put in a loop and a vehiclevarname will have to be used. Then however you would atleast need an respawnscript that keeps the vehiclevarname.

Cestcomi, about that mv22 version: Did you notice the part in the script where the boundingbox of the object you want to load is checked ? Hope you adjusted that too.

Oh and here's the link for the respawnscript I mentioned: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79070

Did anyone ever get that aircraft towing tractor to work?

I know a lot of people which sort of needs it for missions so if anyone has it, please post it up.

[Tajin 349]

Hmmm, I guess I could do that. Just not anytime soon.

Hello,

I'm having an issue with the c130 cargo script. It works great when I preview it in the editor, or create an online server and load the map however when i upload it to a dedicated server the cargo script never becomes activated. Do I need to initialize the script somewhere else in the mission file?

Thanks, T

**EDIT** I fixed the problem it was a minor coding problem (BTW the mission was domi)

Hey guys, saw this thread and thought I'd share how I've toyed with attachTo. Very simple, only the second one uses any external scripting, and maybe 6 lines at that (mostly to add a new action).

Could you post the script you used to do this? Way Cool! :)

[JDog 11]

I actually deleted the files after I was done playing with them :( It's real simple, the first doesn't even use any external scripting. It's just an attachTo and detach when you reach a certain waypoint.

It's harder doing an insertion because you have to try to figure out how to set it right in the cargo area, otherwise when it detaches it'll start bouncing around wildly and *maybe* exit through the back. I think I used [0,-1,-0.5].

For the extraction one... pretty much the same thing, just attach when you're inside. I added scripts just so I could have that "Move to Chinook seat" action. Also, I found that if you're sitting in the cargo space, and the crrc is in there... it'll appear as if it's just outside the ramp for you, which sucks :( It wont look like its inside right next to you even though it is.

[vengeance1 50]

Thanks for the follow up, I'll give it some work. ;)

Hi Tajin,

I tried your respawn script and it works. But once again, "cargoscript" stopped to work after the first respawn.

For information, I have renamed "cargoscript" to "mv22cargo.sqf" and "mv22cargoscript.sqf". I changed both files so that they correspond to the new name and I put everything in the directory "mv22\".

So I tried with this script (Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.6) but same result after the first respawn (I had no doubt of the result :rolleyes:).

I give you the trick here if someone could find a solution:

Co_20_EVO_USMC_v095b.Chernarus.zip

I have made some modifications to the following files because the mod has his own system for respawn (I only want to use Simple Vehicle Respawn or something else like Tajin's script):

- data\scripts\sinit.sqf

- data\scripts\EVO_MakeBase.sqf (many vehicles and other stuff are in this file)

- mission.sqm (the others vehicles/stuff and the MV22 are in this file !)

This is what you will find in "missions.sqm" for the first MV22:

	class Item363
	{
		position[]={4621.999,9,2555.9509};
		azimut=121.384;
		id=442;
		side="EMPTY";
		vehicle="MV22";
		skill=0.60000002;
		init="veh = [this, 300, 300, 0, FALSE, FALSE, [this] execVM ""mv22\mv22cargo.sqf""] execVM ""vehicle.sqf"";";
	};

I stopped counting the number of test I did :p

But I don't understand why Mando Hitch v1.5 works great and not "cargoscript" ?

Principle is really the same, no ?

P.S.: I offer a good Belgian beer at first which finds a solution.

I've got same problem too :(

I find a solution! Well, I find the problem! xD :D Now need someone who can fix it and give us the solution! The problem is in the "x_vrespawn2.sqf" (<--- in my case this is the respawn script): I think if someone can put the code:

nul = [this] execVM "c130cargo.sqf

in the respawn script when C130 appears it has got the load vehicles script! In this case you must use the "x_vrespawn2.sqf" only for c130 or you can name it "x_vrespawn4c130.sqf" and use it only for c130!

I was playing around with a way to launch landing craft from the LHD. This is just a test version exploring possibilities. It doesn't support AI. I presume this rig is meant for some sort of boat hoisting.

Download test mission: LHD_BoatLaunch.utes.pbo

To use:

- there's an action on the towing tractor to teleport to the boat launch platform (since there are no stairs).

- turn on the boat engine to launch the boat into the water

- turn off the boat engine to lift the boat back into the hoisting rig while under it

- use 'get out' to get back on platform

- then use action on the warning signs to teleport to deck (the signs also prevent you from slipping off the launch platform)

Design hurdles and findings:

- it seems you can't use the LHD to attach the boat since the boat keeps dropping every 1 second as if the attach is not checking it regularly enough. Therefore I used the towing tractor for all attach and teleport actions.

- facing the boat at 180 make the default getin/getout actions work better without falling in water

- It's a shame the rear LHD dock doors are closed. It would have been better just to leave them open, since the water is already usable inside the bay. Hope they improve that.

I was put this scripts in Xneo's "The longest day" mission. But I can't play with it, when I go to platform it show two boats on there, and I can't see anything in actionmanu.

I put "nul=[] execVM "Mission\BoatLaunch\LHD_Init.sqf";" in the missions init.sqf is it correct? Can you tell how to solution this problem?

Here's another one.

Tow aircraft script

AUGUST 2009

by norrin

based on an idea from David Campagna

tested in ArmA v1.03 on dedicated server

Download

http://norrin.org/downloads/ArmA2/attachTo/towC130.utes.rar

Description

Script allows you to tow aircraft around using the US towing tractor

How it works

Jump in the tow tractor and back up towards the front of an aircraft - make sure you are facing almost the same direction and you will get an action to tow the aircraft. This attaches the plane to the tractor. While attached you get an action to unattach the aircraft.

To implement in your own missions

1. Copy the c130tow directory to your mission file.

2. In the init line of the tractor put:

nul = [this]execVm "c130Tow\c130Tow_init.sqf";

[cestcomi 10]

Thx Norrin !

Works great.

You can make a 360° very quickly with the plane at the rear of the tractor

:D

[gnarly_rider 0]

Simple beginners question, I'm using Norrins attach mount_vcl_init.sqf scripts etc successfully to load and unload ammo crates.

But, how do I configure these scripts/vehicle init line so vehicle is preloaded with ammo crate at mission start (AAV's conducting amphibious assualt)???

> 100kb

That's what I did with mission I'm working on and it works. I'm not sure why it's making 2 boats for you. Maybe a conflict with another script? I also Extracted the .pbo and put the .sqf's in my directory since I had to modify it to be playable. I disabled the "getout" portion so you could actually leave the boat without being ported back to the ship. The only other problem I have is if you turn off the engine and back on again you get ported back to the hoist no matter where you are. I think it's not supposed to if you're more than 30 ft away but it still does.

Can anyone tell me how to fix that?

Simple beginners question, I'm using Norrins attach mount_vcl_init.sqf scripts etc successfully to load and unload ammo crates.

But, how do I configure these scripts/vehicle init line so vehicle is preloaded with ammo crate at mission start (AAV's conducting amphibious assualt)???

OK a little update on my question.

I put this in my ammo box init line where AAV1 is the name of the destination vehicle.

this attachTo [AAV1,[0,0,0.5]];

This works well: the ammo crate is definitley with the vehicle when I drive it around. However Norrins script doesn't recognize it as loaded, just its proximity. So after driving it somewhere after initial mission start, I get out, and have to 'Load' the box first, prior to 'unloading' it.

Any thoughts what I need to tinker with to get the Load thing initialised?

[kylania 568]

Can't seem to get setting the variable to work right due to how the script works (it defaults to clearing it right away.

However, to make the crate look better on the AAV, use this:

this attachTo [AAV1,[.33,-1.5,1.2]];

Now, to make the SCRIPT put it there, try something like this in mount_vcl.sqf:

	_loc = switch (typeOf _vcl) do {
	case "LAV25_HQ": {[.5,-1.5,.9]}; // LAVHQ
	case "hilux1_civil_1_open": {[0.3,-1.5,0.3]}; // pickup
	case "BMP2_HQ_CDF": {[0.3,-2.3,-2.8]}; // BMPHQ
	case "AAV": {[.33,-1.5,1.2]}; // AAV
	default {[0.3,-1.5,0.3]};
};
_mountVcl attachTo [_vcl,_loc];

instead of the normal _mountVcl attachTo [_vcl, [0.3,-1.5,0.3]]; line.

Can't seem to get setting the variable to work right due to how the script works (it defaults to clearing it right away.

Cool, I've been fiddling for awhile too, and still no luck!

However, to make the crate look better on the AAV, use this:

this attachTo [AAV1,[.33,-1.5,1.2]];

Now, to make the SCRIPT put it there, try something like this in mount_vcl.sqf:

	_loc = switch (typeOf _vcl) do {
	case "LAV25_HQ": {[.5,-1.5,.9]}; // LAVHQ
	case "hilux1_civil_1_open": {[0.3,-1.5,0.3]}; // pickup
	case "BMP2_HQ_CDF": {[0.3,-2.3,-2.8]}; // BMPHQ
	case "AAV": {[.33,-1.5,1.2]}; // AAV
	default {[0.3,-1.5,0.3]};
};
_mountVcl attachTo [_vcl,_loc];

instead of the normal _mountVcl attachTo [_vcl, [0.3,-1.5,0.3]]; line.

Works a treat cheers!!!

Can you post what you did to fix it please?

Newb question - Can the heli door script be adapted to have passenger in say a Littlebird shoot their weapons? so rather than "move" to door the player stays in the seated position? Guess the animation for kneeling etc.. probably prevents this??

Anyway - as always amazed and appreciative of the amazing work the community does with these addons

cheers

I have an issue with the heliDoor script, perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I just tested it out with an AI pilot hovering in place and then myself getting to the door positiion. As soon as I get to it, he starts moving again, like in a circle, rather than staying still. Any ideas?
