Superb news. I follow this thread with GREAT enthusiasm.

Downloading and testing in my VTS mission (with R3F arty & logistics, MMA script, Drapers RUM script, crB support scripts and more :) )

HI guys,just downloaded the new rc08,outstanding work!!!

just some questions:when i plant in IED, i set in his init callthisobject ied(i don't remember the right command) i have only the option to defuse it,but it explodes only if i shoot directly at it,i've read that it needs something noisy,i've tried abrams,cars,humvee,motorbike but nothing,how can i set an IED that explode if someone run or pass with a vehicle too near?

i would like a step by step guide if possible because with the one provided in the menu vts i'm not able to make ied explodes when a convoy pass near to it.

second question:l'etranger looking at the pic you posted seems possible to load vehicles and walk inside c130 cargo bay?am i mad or is it possible? if yes can you explain me how to reproduce this feature?

Thx in advance for helping and keep up the good work

1 - IED should explode if something is moving to quickly near it. The scanning refresh rate or the detection radius should be tweaked higher i guess.

But from my test, i was working ok. Not arming all the time, but enough to surprise you.

Try running around an IED and see how it explode.

2 - It'is the static c130, foundable in the object section

[shay_gman 272]

Great minds do think the same!

I had the IED script for a while now on MCC Sandbox. It's amazing to see how at the end we all come down to similar conclusions (IED activated by fast move, save & load, synching exc.)

I think one day we should all combine forces and make the ultimate tool ;)

Always good to see a new release of VTS.

this is a really really really nice mission. very useful to test weapons

I'm working on a new feature simply called VTS Store (turnable on/off).

It should allow players to use money to buy vehicle, weapons, and magazines.

This should help game master to run rpg coop campaign.

Whoohoo! That would be absolutely great, L'etranger...I sometimes host a "rpg-like" VTS ARMA2/OA game on my LAN for my local group where everyone plays 'in-character' and are (manually) granted additional resources depending upon how well they do. I strongly encourage you to continue with the work, and I will be happy to give you feedback on how it works. Thanks!!!

WIP After two evening :

Need to implement the balance and tweak stuff around there.

Balance will be Sided (West Money, East money. etc...)

Gamemaster will be able to set an ammount of balance at the begining of the mission and to select what items can be buyable (locked / unlocked to player).

The shop allow player to buy and sell everything that is interactive in the game.

I am having troubles getting an IED to be set.

The command help file is not helping much. I am doing "BAF_IED_v1" call vts_isIED; but nothing happens. I have been playing around with this for over an hour and nothing is working.

at last i managed to make those damn ied working, if correctly set you have to move near them with a vehicle not too fast(because of refresh rate) then they explode.

remember to set the command in the init of the object and not in the lower menu'.

my suggestions is to fix a littlebit the refresh rate and make the ied blast more powerfull.

[l etranger 5]

If you use the function [] call vts_isIED from the commandline. You must pass the object name. To set a object name, you must fill the name field before you spawn the object (i'll work on a way to set an object name post its spawn). Then you can use the commandline [NameOfObject] call vts_isIED .

my suggestions is to fix a littlebit the refresh rate and make the ied blast more powerfull.

The IED behaviour has been tweaked a bit for the next version. IED has 3 different blast, they are random on activation, ranging from medium power to very powerfull.

wow sounds good

[kremator 1065]

Very impressive L'Etranger. Looking forward to trying that out :)

[kremator 1065]

Have been tinkering with VTS and other goodies. It's a large file but requires no addons.

T for computer, 0-0-8 for RUM assets, MMA console scripts enabled, Lurchi's AC130 in action menu and much more. It's still a little buggy but I love it.

Thanks again L'etranger for keeping the work on this !

PM me if you find ways to make it even better ... I'm not a scripting guru like L'Etranger ... I just glue things together !
