Medevac Module

[goliath86 11]

Hey bud, good looking out! The fix is much appreciated. This will make a great addition to my missions.

Thanks again!

Thank you too Manzilla! ;)

Test the module if you can and report in if the error (or any other error) appear again!

Thank you! :D

[dmarkwick 261]

Thanks for the update Goliath :)

Question - what's the expected activity for the helo upon the unexpected death of the new medic? Or the unexpected destruction of the helo and then you RTB the medic?

[goliath86 11]

If the medic dead then the chopper return to base and after few time the medevac action is available again; if the helo blow up and all crews dead (even the medic) then the medevac option is not available again..if the helo crash down and there are some unit still alive then the crash site is marked on your map and you have to decide if to go to the crash site or not..if you go to the crash site the remaining alive unit of the chopper join your squad..

[cyop 10]

I get a CTD when loading missions. The error says it's dependent on Medevac.

I still get an error message when trying to load a mission that says it can't load cause it's dependable on Medevac. It doesn't matter if the module is being used in the mission or not. As long as it's in an active mod folder it gives me that message.

My apologies, I didn't mean I was getting CTD's in my last post. I was getting a dependable error, I misspoke.

I really can't be more clear than that. It happens whenever I try to load a saved game. Doesn't matter if it's a vanilla scenario or one of my own missions. If I hit save while playing then try to load, a fresh load or a load while playing(revert), after about 2 seconds an error pops up and says:

(From the .rpt file as well)

I've tried it with just vanilla A2 and then with ACE2 and it doesn't make a difference. Any time I hit load, whether I actually have the Medevac Module on the map or not, I get this message.

I'm playing SP missions but that's probably obvious.

I hope this helps.

EDIT:

I just played the basic A2 SP missions with just this loaded and the error shows. Try vanilla A2 with the Medevac module in a loaded mod folder, not actually on the map, and play the BIS mission Village Sweep. Hit save then load that save. The error will appear.

(BOLD emphasis mine.)

Yes, you could have been more clear. You just were. You never said it happens when you load a saved game, and not just starting a mission. I was spending time trying to duplicate the error loading missions, both in and out of the editor, and could not replicate it. goliath86 was doing the same. I did duplicate the error with saved games, and that is why I came back to ask. People are trying to help test and revise, and goliath86 is working his butt off. So, please, a problem needs to be described or documented more clearly. ... Thanks.

goliath86, I am looking for that PM.

Goliath-

Haven't tried the module yet - but DM likes it, so that's all I need to know. :)

Have you considered another, similar, module that would airlift reinforcement troops to an area?

Can't wait to try your stuff!

[dmarkwick 261]

If the medic dead then the chopper return to base and after few time the medevac action is available again; if the helo blow up and all crews dead (even the medic) then the medevac option is not available again..if the helo crash down and there are some unit still alive then the crash site is marked on your map and you have to decide if to go to the crash site or not..if you go to the crash site the remaining alive unit of the chopper join your squad..

OK, sounds like you got all bases covered :) good job on that.

[Solarghost 10]

Does this work with the ACE Wounding module in place?

Also...

I have a .ogg sound file that I would like to play when I call for med evac.

I know how to make a normal trigger to pay a sound when u go past it on the ground, but not sure how to play a sound if calling via action or radio menu?

If you could please help that would be great!

Cheers :p

[goliath86 11]

New version available on the first post

Changelog (v0.25):

- Added: now you can abort the Medevac Mission, when the chopper is flying, via action menu (thanks DMarwick for suggestions!). When the medic dismount, you can send the RTB order via the usual Radio Bravo trigger (0-0-2)

- Fixed: bug that prevent the main script to terminate correctly

[dmarkwick 261]

Thanks for the update Goliath :)

I might have a small bug report, twice this has happened now under the same circumstances, once with v 018 and once with v 025. When the medic has been given RTB and the helo starts to leave, sometimes it hits a tree and is destroyed, or is destroyed by enemy. When this happened, both times my ArmA2 CTD.

If it happens more, I'l try & figure out a reproducable scenario.

[goliath86 11]

Thanks DMarwick! I've experienced the CTD when the helo explode. I've corrected it.

I've uploaded the new corrected version on the first post :D

Changelog (v0.28):

- Fixed: CTD when the helo explode during its mission (thanks DMarwick!)

Hi again Goliath :)

I noticed tonight after team-switching, that the medevac command did not follow me into the new unit. Is this by design or something to be worked in?

[goliath86 11]

New update (you can download it in the first post):

Changelog (v0.30):

- Added: when player dies and teamswitch is enabled, all the Medevac actions are passed at

the new player's unit (thanks DMarwick) :D

Hi Solarghost!

To play a sound when the medevac is called you have to modify the script to add that sound to be played. Otherwise I don't know how to play a sound when an action is called (without modify the script of the action)

[Aeneas2020 10]

tried this last night and it is a very good little module. Thanks, the only problem i encoutered was that the med evac chopper will not land when there is a heavy firefight going on. Which i understand is a limitation (or rather sensible thinking) on behalf on the ai but it does suck when you're pinned down and you would like to see a friendly face. I wish there was some way to have them swoop in do a quick drop off then take a holding pattern, that would enable them to come in under heavier fire. Either way great work!

ive tried this, i added a description file and a sound folder to the module itself and also to the mission, in 2 seperate attempts, they wouldnt play. ive asked this question as before as well. still couldnt figure it out?! :( this is rly important for my mission, any chance for some help on that goliath ;)

Great stuff Goliath, really nice work. Can I be cheeky and ask if respawn is also catered for? ;)

Also, if you wish, I could go through your addon and correct for English. I know that's a little rude of me :) but I thought I'd make the offer.

[RodeoX 10]

Thanks for this man! I wish I had spent an hour finding this code instead of 4 hours trying to make something similar.

Thank you Aeneas! The issue of chopper still flying instead landing when under fire is non dependant to me but I can think to find a solution (I hope ;))

Hi Thedog! Yes, for sure, I can help you..send me the sound that you want to play and when and I create a 'special' module for you ;)

Hi DMarwick!

I haven't tried this module in MP so I don't know if this works with respawn but I think it probably works well (still testing it) ans Yes, you can correct mine English if you want, it's a great help for me!

:D

Thank you all guys! :notworthy:

[dmarkwick 261]

OK Goliath, anything I can do to make this addon better :)

BTW, I found another small problem that I hope you can overcome. When the medevac is local, and the medic is part of my team, sometimes I send some of my unneeded units into the helo to RTB with the medic. But, when I RTB the medic himself, he leaves the squad but doesn't get into the helo he just sits. This of course means the two security gunners also sit, and there's no more action or radio options left to use so it sort of stops. Even when I make all my squad leave the helo they all just sit.

So maybe the medic is "expecting" to get the front seat? ;) :D

(BTW, it might be nice to have something happen to these guys when the helo RTBs. I don't know what, I'll leave that to you ;) maybe remove them from the squad & just disembark them, maybe even just nothing.)

Also, when the helo is destroyed the "cancel medevac" action remains forever. Small one that ;)

[cyop 10]

OK, goliath86, I am still waiting for you to send the files to me. It's been days. :p Granted, I have limited time right now, but I can still do some testing for you. (I need a break from real life, anyway.)

I will go ahead and post the heli.sqf files that I have, and nothing else, but there is not too much sense in me messing with it any more without the newer versions.

Well, for some reason the newest version does not even load for me, but, from the last version, some obvious things I still see...

- when starting a mission, the Call Medevac text appears, that seems unnecessary to me, IMHO

- the third man out is still always dying

there's some more, but again, without the newest files... .

If I remember correctly, I did not test the UH-1Y as much as the MH-60S, in regards to the soldiers getting injured or dying when they disembarked. I do believe with the MH-60S, they would rarely die, and not get injured often.

The last thing I was doing is trying to pin the chopper to the ground right before they disembark, then have it hover. But again, since I do not have the newest files, I have not done too much. The above is from a few days ago.

PM me the files if you get the chance.

CYA :)

Oh, yeah, in the above, I commented out the rescue.sqf because I had too many bugs. But again, I did not have the newer versions to work with the other stuff.

Oops, another edit. ... 'You' can 'force' the helo to land by changing the waypoint behaviour. One of the last things I was doing, also, was getting the gunners to engage at will, but making the pilot land/hover.

EDIT: For instance change this:

//  disembark corpsman and soldiers

_wp2 = beta addWaypoint [position player,0]; //add a waypoint at the UH1Y to get near the player position
[beta, 2] setWaypointType "UNLOAD";[beta, 1] setWaypointType "MOVE";
[beta, 2] setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
//[beta, 2] setWaypointFormation "WEDGE";
[beta, 2] setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
[beta, 2] setWaypointBehaviour "[b]AWARE[/b]";

to this:

//  disembark corpsman and soldiers

_wp2 = beta addWaypoint [position player,0]; //add a waypoint at the UH1Y to get near the player position
[beta, 2] setWaypointType "UNLOAD";[beta, 1] setWaypointType "MOVE";
[beta, 2] setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
//[beta, 2] setWaypointFormation "WEDGE";
[beta, 2] setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
[beta, 2] setWaypointBehaviour "[b]SAFE[/b]";

but you have to set the gunner behaviour.

[goliath86 11]

OK Goliath, anything I can do to make this addon better :)

BTW, I found another small problem that I hope you can overcome. When the medevac is local, and the medic is part of my team, sometimes I send some of my unneeded units into the helo to RTB with the medic. But, when I RTB the medic himself, he leaves the squad but doesn't get into the helo he just sits. This of course means the two security gunners also sit, and there's no more action or radio options left to use so it sort of stops. Even when I make all my squad leave the helo they all just sit.

So maybe the medic is "expecting" to get the front seat? ;) :D

(BTW, it might be nice to have something happen to these guys when the helo RTBs. I don't know what, I'll leave that to you ;) maybe remove them from the squad & just disembark them, maybe even just nothing.)

Also, when the helo is destroyed the "cancel medevac" action remains forever. Small one that

Thanks DMarwick!

I've resolved these problems! Now I'm still testing more and more the module before release the new update!

@CyOp: thanks for your works mate! I've readed all your code..Now I PM you ;)

[lockjaw-65- 0]

Hi, Im a bit confused after the last couple of updates. Is it not possible to place your medevac at a base anymore? I have tried and it is nowhere to be seen

Yes, it is possible to place the medevac at the base. :)

[lockjaw-65- 0]

Yes, it is possible to place the medevac at the base. :)
