#start

"USMC_Soldier_Medic" createUnit [getmarkerpos "hire", group player]

"USMC_Soldier_HAT" createUnit [getmarkerpos "hire", group player]

"USMC_Soldier_AT" createUnit [getmarkerpos "hire", group player]

hiresoldier = playername addaction ["Hire Soldiers", "hire.sqs"]

To use functions like arraypush you need to have the Functions Module on your map somewhere.

[muttly 10]

Ill add that function module then aswell sorry for bein such a noob people this my first mission:) put arma2 on the shelf i was done with it but after doin alot reading and watching you tube tutorials ive really starting getting into the editer this games awesome i just need bit of help:yay:

Think the error iam getting has some thing to do with the backpack script

This is doin my head in i cant seem to get the hire soldiers script to work in Lan spent about 30 min copy pasteing code from you all and 5 hours trying get it all to work :D

[muttly 10]

Guys how do i place units ontop of buildings trying put snipers on roofs but when go in the editer there always on the floor infront of the building.

Play around with setPos muttly. In their init field:

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 10];

Adjust the "10" above to find the proper height you need.

thanks:)

edit: Hey kylania how do i go about making "evidence" objects useable so i can maybe use them as part of an objective and also whats the best way to set up a hostage rescue

Edited September 26, 2009 by muttly

[kylania 568]

I have a 'collect evidence' example on my website. Just follow the link.

Hostage rescue is pretty easily done by using the following script called via addAction on the hostage:

   _hostage = _this select 0;
   _rescuer = _this select 1;
   _id = _this select 2;

   _hostage playMove "Stand";
   _hostage setCaptive true;
   [_hostage] joinSilent group _rescuer;
   _hostage commandFollow _rescuer;

   _hostage removeAction _id;

Hey thanks alot kylania nice 1:)

Ok cheers so i make the ***sqf.file for the hostage but what do i add in the init boxs of the rescuer/hostage sorry still learning stuff

Edited September 26, 2009 by muttly

[kylania 568]

Save that as rescue.sqf and put the following in your hostage's init field:

this addAction ["Rescue", "rescue.sqf", 0, 0, true, true, "", "(!(captive _target) && (alive _target) && (alive _this))"];
