Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA 2

[alexboy 11]

Hey guys I am having a problem with mando turrets... (converting to A3... but there shouldnt be an issue??? it works perfectly, it fires and all, but gets this issue, which i think its for tracking incomming missiles to fire at???, also i have brough all scripts into my addon, which should take away all errors and also i put the directory for them to my addon folder

the error is "undefined variable in expression : mando_detmissile

I dont get whats wrong?????

this is the segment i am getting wrong in i presume

{if ( (side (mando_detowners select _i) in _enemysides)&&((_x distance _disp)<_maxrange)) then {_list = _list + [_x]};_i=_i+1} forEach mando_detmissiles;

I am using this code

mando_gunattacker

/* 
mando_gunattacker.sqf v1.2
August 2007 Mandoble 


The purpose is to add an automatic lock on/gun fire system for a unit
More than 1 system may be added to a single unit (but not at the same firing place.


Sintax:
[disp, unitpos, ttype, quantity, min range, max range, muzzle velocity, rounds per salvo, rate of fire, max dispersion array, time to aim, detonate?, firing gun, ammo type, firing pos, gun barrel length, scan arc, minknows, enemy sides, antimissile?, gun initially ON?, Radio Messsages?, radar on sound, radar off sound, shot sound] exec"alex_phalanx\script\mando_gun\mando_gunattacker.sqf"

disp: gun armed vehicle
unitpos: gun armed unit position inside vehicle: 0 driver, 1 gunner, 2 commander.
gun target types array: ["Air"] or ["LandVehicle"] or ["Men"] or ["Air", "LandVehicle", "Ship"],etc. "REMOTE" target type may be used to indicate this unit may target targets locked by other units.    
quantity: number of salvos loaded into this unit.
min range: closer than that, the system will not attack units.
max range: farther than that, the system will not attack units
muzzle velocity: Muzzle velocity in m/s
rounds per salvo: number of shots per salvo.
rate of fire: maximum number of salvos fired per minute.
max dispersion array: [hor, vert] in degrees, max dispersion at 400m.
time to aim: time needed to aim to the target in seconds.
detonate?: true/false, if true an small explosion will happen when round if close to the target.
firing gun: The gun class which will fire, "" if none.
ammo type: ammo class use to fire, for example "B_23mm_AA", "B_20mm_AA", "B_30mmA10_AP", "B_30mm_HE", "B_127x99_Ball", etc.
firing position: relative firing position of the salvo to the launcher (vehicle or unit parameter).
gun barrel length: aproximate length of the gun in meters (number) or barrel end model selection name (string)
scan arc: arc in front of the firing unit where targets may be locked, 90 means from -45 degrees to the left to
          +45 degrees to the right, 360 will lock on any target in range, 180 will lock on any target in front 
          of the firing unit (from -90 to the left to +90 to the right).
          or
          array with arc and delta. Delta is an angle to add to the direction of the firing unit. For example, a gun 
          able to engange targets to the left of the firing unit in an arc of 90 degrees [90,270]. 

minimum knowledge: Minimum knowledge of the target from 0 (nothing, STANDOFF attacks) to 4 (everything).
enemy sides: array with sides considered enemy (west, east, resistance, sideEnemy and/or civilian)
             note: empty units side is civilian
Able to track and fire against incomming missiles? (true/false)
Initially active: true/false. If false, the unit may be activated writing a true into its "mando_gunattacker_on" variable.
Radio initially on: true/false. If false, it may be turned on when needed writing a true into its "mando_gunattacker_radio" variable.
Radar ON sound resource name (defined in description.ext), "" if none.
Radar OFF sound resource name (defined in description.ext), "" if none.
Shot sound resource name (defined in description.ext).
Animation code (optional).

alexboy, are you running mando_missileinit.sqf?

The script which defines the detectable missiles(mando_detmissiles) is mando_detectables.sqf which is executed from mando_missileinit.sqf

Also...

mando_detmissile, which is added to the mando_detmissiles array, is defined in mando_missile.sqf

ok, i succeeded to implement the mando missile script into my mission.

now i tried to disable some mando feature such as Metis launcher (since I use ACE Mod). so i deleted lines concerning Metis from mando_setup_full.sqf.

When i try it ingame the mando Hud i correctly removed but if i fire the Missile it can't be guided anymore, it goes straight, like if something was disabling the ACE wireguidance.

how could i fix this issue ?

[batchlahawk 10]

i cant tell if flares work in this mod. like when a missile is fired at me i use the flares, but i always still get destroyed. is there a script i have to use for the flares to work? or is there some way i can increase the probability that the flares will work?

I followed all instructions in the PDF, made folders, placed everything correctly but nothing works.

When playing the premade missions, everything works fine, all consoles, huds, and everything the mod promised was there but I couldn't get it to work in MY mission in SP editor. I have tried using all the gamelogics one at a time, all at once, synchronizing, grouping, and nothing happens!

I even emailed the contact email that comes with the PDF and even he didn't know (his computer got fried and he hasn't been on Arma 2 in years).

I tried just about everything and I am desperately trying to get this to work. I am running CBA since it is required to run MMA and thats it. I do not have ACE or ACE2 in case that matters.

Thank you for your time.

Remember to check the init strings of the units, some elements are not activated just by gamelogics alone.

Im probably one a the last few people asking question about mando missile for Arma 2 but I have have just one quick question. How do you use the HARM or SEAD missiles. They never lock on to Tunguska's or any other AA vehicles. Ive looked around but haven't found any answers. I have version 2.4. Thanks for any help.

[rxnxr23 10]

javelins never work and have never worked as long as ive used this mod (several years). it is extremely frustrating when theres an enemy tank and you find a javelin and youre like "yes maybe we will survive" but then you realize that it doesnt even work cuz of this mod. even if youre in the middle of a huge desert with no trees or mountains and the tank is right in front of you in the open and youre locked on it will never fire. the rest of the stuff is very cool like dropping bombs from planes and anti-ground missiles etc. but this one thing is so fucking frustrating it makes me not use it. its a game ruiner.

[MB24 10]

That strange, Ive never had a problem with the Javelins working. Do your SEAD or HARM missiles work when attacking an AA unit. That what never works in my game. Just curious.

[sargken 286]

Are you planning on making it on A3

[Kevinbahia 0]

Please make it for arma 3!! Will be perfect
