AC-130 Script for ARMA2 (0.3)

[kremator 1064]

This no longer works with OA standalone? :(

I use to be able to put the game logic thing on the map, press preview, and it worked... but now it doesnt. I dont have usmc in editor menu... there isnt ac130...

Or buy arma2 :)

Does anyone else has a problem of objects (houses, cars, units) not showing when looking through gun view? I tried both FLIR's and night mode but all I can see is empty terrain. I am using the addon on night mission on Zargabad.

ya know i noticed this as well. i was able to fix that issue by changing my viewdistance via FNC instant veiwdistance mod. now they show up properly. now i have a question. when in the UAV it shows 10 hellfires but you don't seem to be able to shoot them. am i doing something wrong?

I must also say that this mod is outstanding!!!

hey thanks for the info.... as for Hellfire, just hold the Left button for 2-3 sec. and it will fire, usually few missiles....I don't know if thats intended.

It was never OA standalone compatible...

Synchronized the logic with player?

Only the 3 Call logics must be synchronized with an object f.e. the player. ;)

There's something weird with the picture for the crosshairs...

The objects are too far away to be displayed. Try to increase the view distance.

Thanks but you don't read the readme :p

Known Bugs etc.:

* UAV is still beta and has f.e. infinite hellfires, flawed HUD...

UAV is still beta. The rockets don't look fine... Maybe I'll implement mando missles some time...

But i made this video using v0.4 (addon version)...

I know why its stopped working too! You done something to the location in the editor. So when i click on (US-Air-c130j) this plane no longer works, because you have changed it to (ac130 spectre)... but this isnt under that menu.. its under (USMC-Air-)

I dont have (USMC) menu!! so i cant find the ac130! please make a quick edit and change the location to (US-Air) and not (USMC-Air), and then release that version!

Majority of us now have AO, its cheap anyway! I been waiitng ages for this updates man...

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

Put this in the init line of an C-130J:

this setVariable ["LDL_planeInUse", false, true];

The plane is an AC130 then. ;)

thanks Lurchi, but i'll have to add this all the time right?

Is there nothing i can change in the config or something?

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

class AllVehicles;
class Air;
class Plane;
class C130J;
class LDL_C130J: C130J
{
	displayName = "AC-130 Spectre Gunship";
 		Icon = "\LDL_ac130\Pictures\icon_AC130.paa";
 		class EventHandlers
 		{
  			init = "_this execVM""\LDL_ac130\Addon\ac130_init_AC130.sqf""";
 		};
};

This is the config for the AC130... shouldn't it be the same on the USMC and USA side?

[MrAgentGuy 10]

class AllVehicles;
class Air;
class Plane;
class C130J;
class LDL_C130J: C130J
{
	displayName = "[size="3"][b][color="Red"]AC-130 Spectre Gunship[/color][/b][/size]";
 		Icon = "\LDL_ac130\Pictures\icon_AC130.paa";
 		class EventHandlers
 		{
  			init = "_this execVM""\LDL_ac130\Addon\ac130_init_AC130.sqf""";
 		};
};

Is that code stored under (USMC)?

OA doesnt have USMC, only (US). You have done something different with this version, because you have made an ac130 class, instead of just leaving it, and assigning the code to the (c130j).

[krazikilla 5]

@LurchiDerLurch

indeed, there is something weired.

but what? how i can i fix the crosshair, i dont want that white rectangle there^^

another problem i have, i cannot find the ac130 actually to place it.

i can just use it from your sample mission.

But as soon as i edit it (give a name, playable etc) and click OK, it turns to a USMC Parachute :confused:

Is there any problem with ACE?

In this version all C130 behave normal and that's a better solution ;)

The AC130 appears under USA if you add this code to the config.cpp under the old AC130:

	class C130J_base;
class C130J_US_EP1;

class LDL_C130J_US: C130J_US_EP1
{
	displayName = "AC-130U Spooky II";
 		Icon = "\LDL_ac130\Pictures\icon_AC130.paa";
 		class EventHandlers
 		{
  			init = "_this execVM""\LDL_ac130\Addon\ac130_init_AC130.sqf""";
 		};
};

But the thing now is that everybody without OA will get a config error...

@KrAziKilla: Never heard of that kind of problem... Does anybody else have the problem?

[MrAgentGuy 10]

hey Lurchi! thanks for all the help! but i still have the problem.. the cpp file isnt working after editing... my fault i think, so if you can, can you upload the new edited config file please?

thanks

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

Ok here it is: http://www.file-upload.net/download-2783389/AC130_v0.5.1_OA.zip.html

Can you have a look at it if it's working? Because I don't have OA standalone...

There is still the USMC AC130. I don't know if this causes trouble. If so I'll delete it ;)

edit: But if you call a mapclick AC130 the script still uses the USMC AC130 :/ I'll fix that ^^

I think I'll stop support for ARMA2 only at this point... I'm not sure but I think there are more A2+OA and OA only users than A2 only... It's usesless without the FLIR anyway.

[horror1 10]

i like that script very much, but what i dont like at all is that the cursor is all the time present when im shooting.

[kremator 1064]

Something wrong then. There should be no cursor. Check your installation.

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

?

Sure there's the cursor... it's a dialog. And as far as I know there's no way to hide it.

[MrAgentGuy 10]

Lurchi i can now see the ac130h in the menu!! :D

But when i try to activate autopilot in game, nothing happens :( But thanks so far! nearly there! :D

[TechnoTerrorist303 10]

Lurchi, I've added your script to Domination for our clan server but we have been getting some problems where you can't actually aim the thing, you just get compass points rotating on the screen instead... What would cause this?

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

"compass points rotating on the screen" ? :confused:

Do you mean the "shkaing camera"? Could be caused by low hardware, bad conection etc...

[7akata 12]

Hmm, I've got everything set up, placed the C130, got the trigger in, but when I go to pilot it, and where there used to be the red "Autopilot" option, there is nothing; It just acts like a plain old C130. This is for OA of course.

[LurchiDerLurch 10]

Because it's a normal C130 ;)

Since version 0.5 every C130 behaves normal. Instead there's an AC130 in the units menu.

(USMC side) Of course OA only users can't see it. For that problem is a hotfix under progress ;)

But if you put this in the init:

this setVariable ["LDL_planeInUse", false, true];

The C130 should be an AC130 any way. :)

Thanks for the update LDL!

thats only works untill the plane gets destroyed in domination! after that no more ac script
