Rooivalk 10 Posted June 21, 2009 Hello Firstly, my full apologies if this is in the incorrect forum. My question: (Multiplayer) Will transporting fellow soldiers from point A to point B give the pilot points? Thanks a lot, -Rooivalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauxman 10 Posted June 21, 2009 Doubtful, but points aren't the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psycosmos 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Welcome to the boards! Nope, though it could probably be scripted so that it does, not sure about that. But...winning is a team effort anyway, there are always people that won't get points for helping the team, and while I certainly can't speak for everyone, helping the team is more than enough gratification for me personally (not as a pilot, but a medic that concentrates on keeping his guys alive). Playing for scores is a mindset that a lot of people in this genre don't really adhere to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frederf 0 Posted June 22, 2009 If the mission maker decides to make up such a system, yes. By default, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmakatra 1 Posted June 22, 2009 While there is a scoreboard, in my experience it's hardly ever used. And if it is looked at, it's usually just to check who is still alive in a co-op game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rooivalk 10 Posted June 22, 2009 Ah ok. Thanks a lot for the answers! The last 'reality' game I had was Project Reality, a mod for Battefield 2, in which such a system was put in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted June 22, 2009 You have some missions with rankings where you earn points for healing and fixing vehicles and god knows what. This is ARMA - welcome! - We have the power in our hands with the built in mission editor. The very same editor BIS made the campaign and all SP/MP missions with. Together with scripting we can make what the heck we want. You can make a game where you sit on cows with mounted MG's chasing eachother and who ever scores a shot get an icecream. Ok bad example - but very doable. :) We need new brains in the community to come up with exciting new gamemodes and missions. Start thinking stuff up and go learn the editor! ;) Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
