Popup Targets...

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Hello All,

I just had a couple questions I couldn't seem to find the answer to. I was wondering if anyone thus far has explored the ability to keep a running tally score of the targets being hit. For example same as they do with the bootcamp, is this something that is possible in a multiplayer gameset? If so, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would go about acomplishing this?

As you may have guessed, I am making a rifle range for my Arma unit training map and this would be a great addition seeing how right now we are counting them manually lol.

Well, you might just open the Bootcamp missions and look how BIS did it.

_popup animate["terc",0] = down

_popup animate["terc",1] = up

to detect if it has been shot : -

? (_popup animationPhase "terc") == 0

Thanks for that info Junker, that works perfectly. One question you may be able to answer, or direct me to information where I can read about it would be the counting side of things...

Say I have a range full of targets, and I want it to simply count the number of hits on a group of targets. Have any ideas as to how to do that?

add an eventHandler of "Hit" kind on each targets where you count each bullet from the player that hitted them. you can even do a ratio with the "Fire" eventHandler

Ex: (init field of a target, for SP purpose.)

this addEventHandler["Hit",{hint "Target hit"}];

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Am I right in assuming I can take that and turn it into a counter with a variable?

For example:

X=0;
this addEventHandler["Hit", X+1];

So that i can do a: hint X; and have it display the total as its going along?

Or am I nuts? Heh..

X = 0 needs to be activated at the start of the mission so put that in a trigger or your init.sqs

then make the addeventhandler ["Hit", X = X + 1] << something like that anyway :)

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Yea I gave that a try... only problem I am having now is getting it to hint a variable... doesnt want to work :|

Junker · May 21, 2002

try this >> hint format ["Score = %1", X]

but u might wanna change the X for something else :)

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Perfect :) Now just to turn it into multiple targets and will need to test multiplayer... Thanks for all your help mate.

Advanced Popup Target.

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Yea I have see that as well... Not exactly what I am lookign for in this particular case. I have used that however and it works quite well.

addeventhandler["Hit", {hint format["Range Session Begun, all hits counting towards final score.\n---------------------\nCurrent Score is: %1.", hc]}] foreach _target;

Can anyone assist me with this... What I am trying to do is have a series of targets, each of which if they get hit will update the hint. Is there something wrong with my code? If so, any ideas?

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Any ideas anyone?

Schilly · June 10, 2009

I got the hint problem fixed... Lots of trial and error haha.

I was however wondering if anyone had any incite they could provide as to how to get a somewhat random popup going... I have seen it done before, but I have not been able to figure out how they did it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this to work?

I have tried to use the "sleep" command, but it does not want to work.

Right now, I have a notice board with an action on it that runs the script that does the counting / hints... The same script also pops up all the targets, and then a seperate one that ends the counting / pops down the targets as well. That all works, but when I add the "sleep" in there, it does not work.. What I was goign to do is just manually add sleep values in to a big list of target pop ups and downs which is the long way around im sure...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Anyone have any ideas?

kylania · May 20, 2009

You could use _rNumber = random 1 to get a random number of which one to reset.

By the way, how did you fix your problem? Posting the resolution could be helpful to others!

Schilly · June 10, 2009

Oh yes... I ended up having to just use another "addeventhandler" for the hit, and make it so that when it is hit, it pops up a hint box with an updated value.

Soldat20 · June 12, 2008

Hey Schilly I have a code aswell that works perfectly for what your doing besides I just can't get the scores to post in the sideChat at the end of the target cycles like it did in arma1, if anyone knows any idea why it'd be useful!

Here is a preview mission http://arma2.7thcavalry.us/BootCamp.utes.pbo

Schilly, would you mind posting your final product... I having trouble with what is on the forum thanks!

bearbison · April 10, 2009

Jump on to our server (search for [RIP]) and the default mission is a training one with scripts for popup targets and scoring lanes, also includes a moveable target range (currently only works correctly in local, just not got round to fixing it yet) along with various other scripts that you may find useful for training. A few of the other areas are broken at the moment as was in the process of updating prior to A3 release which has had me too busy creating something similar for it with a lot better optimised scripts.

This topic is four years dead, and Schilly hasn't posted since October 2010.

I've had success reviving old threads... and besides wouldn't you rather me revive an old thread than start a new one?

It was worth a shot. No need to be grumpy.
