Dynamic Object Compositions and 2D Editor

[DnA 5143]

But one question, is there a way to make units spawn with it, i.e. spawn guys in the defensive positions like bunkers, etc?

If you use the BIS_fnc_taskDefend function for a certain group, then units in this group will look around for static defenses and man them, as well as patrol the area.

Did I mention that I'll be putting up a tutorial on making new compositions shortly? These are registered in config and can be released as add-ons quite easily :)

My god .. I guess I'm dreaming :D You definately deserved your movie lol

When will the Bohemia Wiki be updated with these functions and tutorials?

The reason I asked was,

I put the line:

_newObjs = [getPos this, random 360, "FuelDump1_US"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

in and it said no such script or something !?

DnA you are awesome; thank you! Seems you guys thought of everything for ArmA2!

[monty67t 0]

Not really ... I'm setting those camps up via game logic. Additional units could be spawned around this game logic using it as a relative position. Maybe there's an additional parameter to including some soldiers, I don't know.

Because it's not possible. In the editor you can place only single objects, not object compositions.

It could be done just like the warfare objects. Some of them are made up of multipul objects.

Hey robmuzz

You have an blank character at the end of your syntax line!!!

After: objectMapper.sqf_"));

Delete it and it will run ;)

@DnA & BIS

Thanks and congratz to this. It´s really appreciated!!! :o

This is why it is ArmA and not any other game. Luv it!!!

Kind regards,

Mr-Murray

@robmuzz

you got an extra space (" ") after the ".sqf", just remove it and it will be fine.

Script Not Found Error?

_newObjs = [getPos this, random 0, "anti-air_ru1"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

Edit there is no space at the end either in my code on the forms is just adding that?? even in edit mode there is no space wth?

Yep my mate tested them all and half of the things not working. Script not found.

Will they be available in some patch?

Quick qustion DNA how is this done?

?

[egrp1,egrp2] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend

[Mr-Murray 0]

Keep in mind what I´ve wrote above!!!

There´s an empty space in your syntax. Remove it and it will run!

No the BIS forums adds that space lol! Theres not a space their ingame.

And yes to get all the Compositions that work go into the 3d Editor and place them down name em and save the mission and go into the file and there you go you have the correct names.

[noamles 0]

try this instead :

_newObjs = [getPos this, random 0, ["anti-air","ru"]] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

[egrp1,egrp2] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend

[egrp1, position dnamic_created_objects] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

[manzilla 1]

[egrp1, position dnamic_created_objects] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

Xeno

Thank you Xeno.

[mattxr 9]

Thank you Xeno.

couldnt get this to work!

[manzilla 1]

Me neither. Where do I put it? In the group leader's init?

Like this:

egrp1=group this; [egrp1, position dnamic_created_objects] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

[xeno 234]

egrp1 = group this; [egrp1, position dnamic_created_objects] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

Don't use it in the init field.

Place a trigger for example, and add it there.

You have to replace position dnamic_created_objects with the position where you actually created the dynamic objects.

Ok, that sounds easy enough. What's the best way to get the actual position of an object?

[NorthStar 10]

getpos <objectname>

[manzilla 1]

getpos <objectname>

Thanks.

I'm having trouble this. I put a trigger on the map with:

condition= true

OnAct= [egrp1, [10368.01,9.4060154,2716.3306]] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

I got the position from the mission.sqm.

Now the seem to be walking around, and some sit around, but they don't man the M2's nor take up any other defensive positions. Is this all they do?

[mattxr 9]

They do for me!

[charliereddog 9]

does it maybe depend on whether they sense a threat or not?

Looks very handy, and I love the new compositions. Have used them myself to build a couple of quick checkpoints very swiftly.

I've done some testing and if you call helo transport, they try to land on all the invisible H's ... So, use a Game-Logic / Location / Location instead!
