Why you don't use the drop command? You have Time life start pos, velocity, a timer, initial volume & density,rubbing a script call by timer, a script call by the death of particle etc... If you look at VektoBoson's scripts like fountain or dust, you can see only a management of start pos and velocity, and effect of water fall down is due to gravity. More with drop command you can attach particle to an object so you draw the curve in the game and maybe understand what happen with set velocity. In game like OFP sometime math and physic are not the solution coz some parameters are not same or not present and you cannot install sensors for know the wind (an addon? Â ) With this I have an idea but no time for the moment to script it : A drop dialog laboratory with all or a part of params and change them in real time in the game.

A ressource tool for solving colors and positions. Of course it must be graphical.

TypeOf variable For intercept errors Associate a script to a dialog. _ok = createDialog ["RscDisplayGame","RscDisplayGame.sqs"] For the moment I can't use CT_OK, cause sometime the dialog is close before the script and controls returns -1. So I need to use simple button and manage it. More _Before = _This select 0 _During = _this select 1 _After = _this select 2 Or _ok = createDialog ["RscDisplayGame","ScriptDuring.sqs","ScriptBefore.sqs","ScriptAfter.sqs" ] The same for controls A script when you are in and a second out Or ? ControlInUse 100 : goto "100"

Or do a try with the event "init", if this event is call when a unit respawn you can add kill event. If it's the case you can give guns & ammos easily in MP, may be someone has test "init"...

1.91 ----------> impossible Future? Dialogs are 1.75's features, but I begin to see some mission with dialogs. And main part are build around the first ideas of Kegetys and VectorBoson... A big step for dialog is : no interrupt player entry. But for this you need a truck of new commands. It's the cat problem : where is my mouse? (for Bis and us too! But I dream an OFP II with 1/50000 maps and something like that : when u fly your jet a marvellous little progress bar in bottom of the screen : load map </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> @2003 closedialog "2002" createdialog "Happy new year 2003" @2004 && !(endoftheworld) <span id='postcolor'>

If u don't need seconds you can use differents pictures. Or text, like BIS does for credits.

Add event again when unit respawn.

Very nice  Look at this Joyeux Noël  Yeah ! 2003 will be the year of the chain of Multi-Squad mods, maybe a BIS one?

Onsingleclick Doesn't work with a saved mission, need to reinited addeventhandler "getin" & "getout" In getout event unit is not return but the vehicle leave In command ref you say position in first it's unit first When a unit is present in a vehicle after getin, _this select 0 is always with the unit gets in first. 1) unit1 getin : return unit1, driver 2) Player getin : return unit1, cargo 2) unit2 getin : return unit1, cargo This event don't work with men only vehicles But the first application I see it's addaction to the vehicle's player!
