[lucilk 10]

there it is a working paratroopers script you can call in.

same thing if there is no enemy in 500 m within the player they will be deleted

Download Example Mission

[monkfish 10]

is it possible to make the paratroopers in this pack similar to the ones in your lk script pack ie;= paratroopers drop at designated location

after the drop the squad will come in on your command trough the commander interface

[a_blunt_rifle 10]

how can i just have the option to call in paratroopers/tanks/helicopter for support and leave out all of the other options? i don't any other abilities in my mission. .

[farix 10]

Dude how the hec do u install this i am so confused

[lucilk 10]

farix and others intrested in this kind of script pack, please wait until i release the new version of this script, please do not start other threads, send a pm if you have questions.

The new version with new features and new installation method is on his way, just need to fix some bugs and to make it MP compatible.

So please wait until the new version is released i can not offer support for this version anymore.

[Strun 10]

Hey just a heads up, i got this script to work on my map, theres only one problem, i had Spec Ops Support, the artillery, hello, and automission thing running but when i used this it faulted out the missions. Any one got any tips?

This is sure good news, really like your script but it MP was an issue. This is great. :)

[a_blunt_rifle 10]

hello im trying to script out for the first time and everything seems of. except when i call for an hq, it says its on its way then immediately gets destroyed.. what could be the cause of this

[cobra4v320 27]

Lucilk here is a CAS script that I created. You can try out for your support scripts if you are interested. Still working on getting MP compatible.

You need to place a Functions Module on the map.

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

"drop" setMarkerColorLocal "ColorRed";
onMapSingleClick "'drop' setMarkerPosLocal _pos, dropclick = true";
waitUntil {dropclick};
onMapSingleClick "";
dropclick = false;

_drop 		= getMarkerPos "drop";
_spwn 		= getPosATL pad;
_spwndir	= getdir pad; 
_spwn1 		= [(_spwn select 0), (_spwn select 1) + 30, _spwn select 2];

[fighterman 10]

dont work

[mikey74 186]

hmm Ive edited his script a bit on the inf/tank support... maybe yours cas support can work....

so far Ive tried but no luck.... although there is no reason it shouldnt work... I'll let ya know If I get it running. Both of you guys are smart. Merging both your ideas will be ideal for what I do.

Thanks a million!!!

[kill4eva 10]

Hello to anyone who can help me this is a great script and would like to use it in my domination mission...after following what seemed to be easy step by step instructions. I try to launch my game/mission which then crashes and i receive this message :confused: : ~\lkscripts\diaglogs\Common\DialogControlClasses.hpp, line 142:.RscButton: Member already defined. As I said anyone who can help me please do...thank you :)

[Jack 0]

There may be a problem with this and OA/CO+ACE2 1.5 builds. As evidenced by kill4eva's post.

[cobra4v320 27]

The scripts were never made for OA, he said he is working on a different version. If you are looking for some good air support scripts then try draper's here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=90365

[armafan1997 1]

:D ok i got your point and i got other to, but you got to belive me its not that hard:

1. this is not a mission with a script

= its a script with a demo mission that only has 1 green guy and a flag

= the demo mission i have put it on the first page is for you guys (newbies) to copy (ctrl+C and ctrl+V) and paste the flag and to test out the script before u use it.

= for you to use my script , you just need to copy the flag in the editor or you can use a ... women anything , any object but it needs to have that line in the flag that executes the entire scripts.

= after you settle that copy all my files from my demo-mission (US-Support v1.5.Chernarus) but WITHOUT the mission.sqm

= Now paste all the files in you mission folder (meaning another mission created by you in the editor)... ok?

= now lets see u need an object with the line [] exec "lkscripts\support_init.sqf" (Same as my Flag) and you got all my files in you mission folder it should work :D

= it doesnt matter if its a older mission created by you or a new mission it just needs these 2 things.

I hope i got my self understood now.

Hi Lucilk,

I have a problem...I have down everything that this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^the quote^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ says but I can't get the support menu up.

Please help!!!!

[avibird 1 154]

Sorry for this old thread but the Author lucilk is no longer on the forums. I am trying to get the menu to come up on all the group leaders with in my mission. I did not want my mission to have respawns of a unit once it is killed. So what happens is when my frist selected unit is killed which is the team leader the the support menu stays on the dead unit. The new group leader can use it only if he is right next to the the dead unit. lol I have a removal script in the mission so after a while his body goes bye bye and no more support menu to use in the mission. Can someone help I have missed around but no luck. Thanks Avibird

PS. You only have the initial unit you pick can use the support menu during the mission. No other group leader can have the support menu so if you play with the team switch function and multiple squads only one unit can call in the support for each human player.

---------- Post added at 17:54 ---------- Previous post was at 16:53 ----------

I found a way to solve the issue(: You can have all the squad leaders can now call in the support during the mission or any unit or static object you choose. place this in the unit/objetc initi box this addAction ["Support Menu", "lkscripts\menu\open.sqf", [], 1, false, false, "", ""];

[avibird 1 154]

Does anyone know or has the last update version of the script US Support Script v1.5. This is one of the best overall support scripts you can have. I only have V 1.4.

[Guest]

The Armaholic downloadpage now hosts the 1.5 version:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6653

[ryap1 1]

this is so good

[avibird 1 154]

MR. Foxhound I was trying last night but it was down for this DL were you updating this script to V 1.5 as of yestetday you only had V1.4 on your site and the other link for V1.5 was not working that you had posted. My point is thank you for the updated script(:

[Guest]

Yes, when I saw your post last night I moved the page to my admin area and started a hunt for the 1.5 version. I found it and this morning I updated the page so we host the latest version :)

Glad I could help you with this.

[mister2cc 10]

I'm sorry guys, but the installation instructions couldn't be less clear. The instructions are supposed to help newbies like me, as experts already know what to do with the files. And it's as twice frustrating to find comments like "love this script, it's fantastic" "works like a breeze" etc...

Can someone please link a script guide or tutorial for real dummies like myself?

Thanks in advance.

[avibird 1 154]

I love this script and have made an updated script based on lucilk work that fixes a lot of the original script limitations using the script in dynamic missions.

It is very simple just put

1. script folder into your mission

2. and the briefing.sqf or just copy the codelines if you have one in your mission already

3. add the Description.sqf or just copy the codelines if you have one in your mission already

4.add the init.sqf or just copy the codelines if you have one in your mission already

You need to add the flagpole from the demo which as the [] exec "lkscripts\support_init.sqf"; that call the script to be used.

If you want to limited who can call the script then change the codeline in the init.sqf

if !(isnull player) then {

null = [] execvm "briefing.sqf";

if (playerSide == west) then {action1 = player addaction ["Support Menu", "lkscripts\menu\open.sqf", [], 1, false, false, "", ""]};

};

to this code. Only players with the rank of captain set in the editor can call the support units.

if !(isnull player) then {

null = [] execvm "briefing.sqf";

if (playerSide == west && rank player == "CAPTAIN") then {null = [] execVM "lkscripts\menu\close_menu.sqf"};

};

Not to be an ass but lucilk put a great readme file in the demo. That tells you step by step how to set the script and what the script does. Did you read it?

Let me know if you need more help. Like I said I love this script but it has some issues during real mission combat that he never got around to fix. I have an update version of his script that I have been working on for a while that is just 100 times better with functionality for dynamic missions but sadly I am not ready to share it yet due to still working on a few projects within the script(:

[MadM0nkey 1]

great little sandbox mod. I Just can't live without it =)

I would really like to see a medic support team that respawns from a deployed ambulance. so much like MHQ Action Menu> Deploy Mobile MASH

a support team then spawns and carries out support patrols for wounded troops within a distance 0-800m radius. if the team gets killed 60 seconds later another team respawns at Mobile MASH.

[avibird 1 154]

Hey MadM0nkey I have one script for my updated version and working on another at this time.

What this does is a medical group will move to the human players position at first wait 10 minutes then move 800 meter to the north wait 10 minutes then 800 west then move back to the Current players location and the waypoints cycles again. I am also trying to get the Automated medic v 1.13 by Demonized to work on the medics in the group.
