    ACC4I - Air Craft Command Control Computers Communications and Intelligence 

     

    This script/mod brings enhanced situational awareness and targeting capabilities for air Craft (something I feel the game is lacking).

     

    + adds an invisible UAV to serve as the targeting pod and laser
    + Interactive MFD
    + adds ability to interact with data links in real time
    + adds ability to interact with sensors in real time
    + TGP camera can lock to position or follow pilots view
    + TGP cam has night vision, IR+, and IR-
    + Adds navigational display
    + TGP cam and navigational display zoom
    + adds ability to cycle know targets present on data link and those known to pilot (I doubt the pilot would have knowledge of targets that the sensors don't). I plan to make the latter an option you can disable
    + while cycling system targets the TGP will lock to the current target, if in range (currently 3km)

     

     This is very much a work in progress, but I want to share it as a proof of concept to get feedback for suggestions and help if/where needed. Right now it's a set of scripts (easily hosted on a server and remote executed for clients). When it reaches a stable and near complete state I'll package it as a mod.

     

    Controls (editable in game settings > controls > add-on settings)
    Ctrl+z: toggle TGP cam mode
    Ctrl+x: ACC4I action menu
    Ctrl+c: MFD interaction
    Ctrl+v: TGP/nav zoom out
    Ctrl+b: TGP/nav zoom in

    Ctrl+n: arm/desarm TGP laser

     

    When you climb in a Air Craft you have to initialize ACC4I with Ctrl+x

    Gentlemen, greetings again. I created a display control to mimic a MFD screen with a map/nav page with the following code... 

        with uiNamespace do {
        disableSerialization;
        TGPMFD = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", 89978];
        TGPMFD ctrlSetPosition [
            0.69 * safezoneW + safezoneX,
            0.578 * safezoneH + safezoneY,
            0.31 * safezoneW,
            0.415 * safezoneH
        ];
        TGPMFD ctrlSetText "ACC4I\mfd.paa";

        TGPNav = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscMapControl", 89980];
        TGPNav ctrlSetPosition [
            0.7205 * safezoneW + safezoneX,
            0.619 * safezoneH + safezoneY,
            0.2475 * safezoneW,
            0.33 * safezoneH
        ];
	};

    I have it updating properly but I'll use this picture to describe the issue...

    any ideas how I can fix this. I think I have to center the map on the center of the control.?.? Thank you!

    so I spend a lot of time playing arma by myself so this is something that I would enjoy. whats the best way to control the main gun as the pilot? I'll include a few ideas I had and hopefully someone can provide some insight towards a better solution.

     

    #1. 

            private _laser = ("LaserTargetW" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0]);
        private _gunner = ((group player) createUnit ["B_soldier_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"]);

        missionNamespace setVariable ["LASE", _laser];
        missionNamespace setVariable ["GUN", _gunner];

        _gunner moveInAny (vehicle player);

        hideObject _gunner;
        _gunner setSpeaker "NoVoice";
        _gunner setSkill 1;
        _gunner disableAI "TARGET";
        _gunner disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
        _gunner disableAI "AUTOCOMBAT";
        _gunner disableAI "FSM";
        (group player) setBehaviour "COMBAT";
        (group player) setCombatMode "BLUE";

        [_laser,_gunner] spawn {
            _laser = (_this param [0]);
            _gunner = (_this param [1]);

            waitUntil {
                _laser setPos (AGLtoASL (screenToWorld [.5,.5]));
                //_gunner reveal _laser;
                //_gunner doTarget _laser;
                (not (missionNamespace getVariable "laserOn"))
            };
        };

        _gunner commandTarget _laser;

    or use an actual laser

    animateSource: 

    AH99 animateSource ["MainTurret", -rad 90];
AH99 animateSource ["MainGun", rad 30];

    what do you guys think? are there better ideas or methods? thanks.

    So as the title states I'm curious what you all think about efficiency/optimizations when it comes to writing a lengthy script/mod for a mission. My current scripted mod is AC-C4I (Air Craft Command, Contol, Computers, Communications, & Intelligence). It has to do with sensors and targeting. The scripts have a lot of "waitUntil" commands for locking the targeting camera to screenToWorld amongst other functions. What would be the most efficient way to write this/integrate it into a mission. I can write the whole thing in one file and "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers" on init. I can create a CfgFunctions.hpp and add it to the description.ext, or I could make it an FSM. I'd love to hear from you guys. Thanks.

    if I had the darter I could lock the camera simply by doing- 

    _uav lockCameraTo [(screenToworld [0.5,0.5]), [0]];

    and if I wanted to show an on screen PIP of the uav feed I create a camera object and place it like this- 

    _cam attachTo [_uav, [0,0,0], "PiP0_pos"];

    how can I do both of these for the pilotCamera found on planes in the new jets DLC? Thanks guys.

    Here is what I currently use....

     

    Init.sqf: 

        if ((not (hasInterface)) and (not (isDedicated))) then {
        [] spawn {
            waitUntil {!isNull player};
            HC_init = (vehicle player);
            publicVariableServer "HC_init";
        };
    };

    initServer.sqf: 

    missionNamespace setVariable ["HCs",[]];

"HC_init" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
    _hc_name = (_this select 1);
    _hc_id   = (owner _hc_name);
    _hcs = (missionNamespace getVariable "HCs");
    _hcs set [(count _hcs), [_hc_name,_hc_id]];
    missionNamespace setVariable ["HCs",_hcs];
};

     

     

    as the title says, is there a more efficient way to accomplish this? Thanks.

    Any luck with this? I'm trying to do the same thing and I've tried syncing a side logic to the SectorTactic then syncing my spawned units to the side logic, syncing directly to the SectorTactic and to the spawnAI module. Its a great idea though.
