synchronizeObjectsAdd help
{USI}_Zombie posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
All the comrefs and biki mention this command but there are no examples, so, here is what I have tried and it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to link a dynamically created mortar tube with the arty logic. ;;mortarcall.sqs _tube = "M252" createVehicle (position player); _tube synchronizeObjectsAdd ["mortarlogic"]; hint "synchronized"; {_tube removeMagazine _x} forEach magazines _tube; _tube addmagazine "ARTY_8Rnd_81mmHE_M252"; exit the line I have been manipulating is _tube synchronizeObjectsAdd ["mortarlogic"]; . The arty module is named mortarlogic. I have tried: _tube synchronizeObjectsAdd ["mortarlogic"]; and _tube synchronizeObjectsAdd [mortarlogic]; and _tube synchronizeObjectsAdd mortarlogic; Ideas? If anyone knows how to update the biki for this command, once we figure out how to use it.......... -
I have the secops artillery support and cas airstrike working well enough. I have been able to call for a supply drop too but are there any params to specify what supplies? I get an Osprey dropping a Humvee and a generic ammo crate. As for the transport support, I get a Huey to come over and hover, I get in then it just sits there, so I'm guessing some params are needed with the transport support option too?

I have NIM dynamic weather and it works well, but does anyone know what weather script is used in Evolution? I would like to use the variable weather, and have the "rain" markers that scroll the screen like in Evo

Sadly I have the same problems and haven't been able to find the answers either. I think they "broke" warfare from A1 -

I get what you want, but I don't think it's possible after all. Maybe BlackAlpha will weigh in here, he seems to understand the module pretty well. Sorry I wasn't more help -
Secondary Ops Manager Module Discussion
{USI}_Zombie replied to trini scourge's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I think I misunderstood what it was you were doing when I read this yesterday. I think once the mission starts you can't change the parameters, but then I haven't tried to change them on the fly. Perhaps you can set the minimum distance to a large enough value and use the _secOpSpacing parameter to give you time to move back near your base. I don't really know what the objective of your mission is but I think that would work. example: start at forward base get secops mission x meters from fb complete secops mission go back to fb after x minutes another secops mission is generated x meters from fb If you are roaming from your fb, then you complicate things because there is always the chance it will spawn the mission close to your fb, and if you set the minimum distance to a very large value you spend a lot of time running around. -

Deeds and I would enjoy playing this mission, but: "Arma2 has encountered a problem and needs to close" every 5 minutes or less. Here is my rpt. We have tried with addons and without, multiple saves and reverts, twice restarted and just can't take it any more. I really hope this gets fixed because we do enjoy this when it works. ===================================================================== == E:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe ==

ArmA 2's Artillery Module
{USI}_Zombie replied to headspace's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
the only problem I found was that you cannot fire near your location. It is inside the minimum range of the battery. When you call the arty and they tell you to "input coordinates", did you notice the red circle on the map? The red circle is the minimum range. I moved the battery far away and it fired as expected. Be careful using the MLRS, it has a very long max range and a very long min range. If you want to use the MLRS, simply move it farther away from your intended target zone. You may not able to use the MLRS at all on UTES. If the precise placement of the battery is required for your mission, and you don't want it too far away, change the weapons to the cannons or even mortars. Just pay attention to the min/max range circles on the map after you call for the strike. Hope this helps -

{USI}_Zombie replied to headspace's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
not sure I understand your problem, but it sounds like you a) either didn't name something correctly or b) didn't synch the arty module to the leader of the artillery. Could you post your mission so we can help troubleshoot it for you? -

ArmA (OFP) Script Editor
{USI}_Zombie replied to NoRailgunner's topic in ARMA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
I absolutely love this tool, and couldn't get by without it. There is one feature I could use though, a wildcard find/replace. I can find all entries like loon1, loon2,loon3 etc but a feature like find loon* which would find all entries that start with loon would be SO handy for multiple find/replaces -
Head direction (camera/head movement)
{USI}_Zombie replied to Dead3yez's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
you can determine where the unit is looking withweapondirection. If you need to determine what the weapon is, use weapons like this: player sidechat format ["weapons are %1", weapons player] and determine where it is pointed with player sidechat format ["weapon is pointed %1 %2 %3",weapondirection "weapon class" select 0, weapondirection "weapon class" select 1,weapondirection "weapon class" select 2 . You will need the script commands described in the weapondirection entry to convert the numbers to a compass direction. I WISH I could tell you how to determine the degrees up or down the weapon is pointed, but I can't figure that out. As far as making a unit look a certain way, for AI try dotarget or dowatch but near as I can tell you can't force a player. If it were possible it would solve about 42 problem I am having with a script I am writing/fighting. Hope this helps -
Mapfact.net releases Editorupgrade
{USI}_Zombie replied to BadAss -Mapfact.net-'s topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
love this update, but I have having an issue. If I use any of the road pieces or rail pieces, they always conform to the ground under them. No amount of setpos or attachto seems to change this. Has anyone figured out a way to manipulate these objects in the verticle? I am afraid there is some hardcode that forces them to the ground -
getdir and setdir work with facing but
{USI}_Zombie replied to {USI}_Zombie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Fair enough, here is a mission with usage of the script. This is not the mission the final version of the concept will be used in. To call the action, look at the satellite dish and you should get the launch action. I challenge you to land in the same place twice. Experiment with your weapon aim, as well as the place/direction you are looking while flying. I can always land on the same "line" but the distance is always different. launcher test -
getdir and setdir work with facing but
{USI}_Zombie posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
getdir and setdir work with facing but is there a way to determine where a unit is aiming vertically? It seems getdir determines where you are looking, not where your feet are pointed; I can work with that. what I need to determine is where up or down a unit is looking and "force" a point there. dotarget doesn't seem to do it for players. Does getdir and setdir have a z component or are they only 2d? I believe they only get and force a certain azimuth (2d). What I am working with is this: _speed = [(_factor*(sin getDir _flyer))+(velocity _flyer select 0),(_factor*(cos getDir _flyer))+(velocity _flyer select 1),(velocity _flyer select 2)+.5]; _flyer SetVelocity _speed which all works well but playtesting has determined that where a player is looking has an effect on the _speed variable. I can use setdir to take out some of the variability but looking up or down also changes where _flyer goes. Unless there are random air currents and viscositys that make _flyer go differently every time! -
getdir and setdir work with facing but
{USI}_Zombie replied to {USI}_Zombie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I learned something. getdir and weapondirection return 2 different values. It seems the weapon points slightly to the right, even in ironsights. Was able to mod my script to account for that. Weapondirection even returns weapon pitch but I haven't found a way to "force" a value for it like I can for getdir/setdir. -
getdir and setdir work with facing but
{USI}_Zombie replied to {USI}_Zombie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I can use weapondirection for troubleshooting. Since this script is called from an addaction I think it matters where you are looking when you call the action. Thanks for the input Celery, gave me something to work with. I really need to read ALL the comref, no telling what I will find there! :p -
HALO, how to add it ?
{USI}_Zombie replied to gonza's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I have never used halo_getout.sqs so I really don't know the parameters for it. But what direction you are facing after you leave the aircraft most likely aircraft dependent. You seem to get out of different vehicles in different places. If it is that important to be facing the same direction as the aircraft after you get out then try BIS_HALO_unit_dir = direction name of aircraft. When I get time I still intend to work on a reserve chute option. -
Speedlimit for landvehicles
{USI}_Zombie replied to Tobie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : ADDONS - Configs & Scripting
There is a speed limit for wheeled vehicles in A2 that even scripting cannot overcome. with a "turbo" script I can get any tracked vehicle, boat and even motorcycles and mountainbikes to go as fast as I want, but trucks,cars, LAV's etc are limited to around 120. I don't know modding, but seems to me it would be possible to have a car but in the config make it think it's a tracked vehicle, then the hardcoded speed limit wouldn't kick in. -
HALO, how to add it ?
{USI}_Zombie replied to gonza's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
will have to experiment with this. I gather what you want is while under a chute, cut it away, fall some more, then reopen another "reserve" chute? without trying 1st, my try would be to call halo.sqs again from inside parachute.sqf . Give me a couple days and I'll see if I can hammer it out. Good idea by the way, never really considered using a reserve chute. -
HALO, how to add it ?
{USI}_Zombie replied to gonza's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
as for being placed on the ground when landing on a building, it's not a bug, at least not with the halo scripts. It is actually scripted in. Problem is with the building. The top of the building is getpos select 2 <= 1 but when the script ejects you from the chute it setpos's you on the ground. Near as I can figure the script get confused as to where getpos select 2 actually is. As for which speed and direction you are facing in freefall and once you open the chute, I had to extract the scripts and modify them top of halo.sqs for the freefall BIS_HALO_unit_dir = direction _halounit BIS_HALO_unit_speed = 0 BIS_HALO_turnR = 0 part of halo_parachute.sqs that affects when you 1st open the chute _pos = [position _para_unit select 0, position _para_unit select 1, (position _para_unit select 2)] _vehicle setPos _pos _dir = direction _para_unit _vehicle setdir _dir _para_unit moveInGunner _vehicle ~0.001 _vehicle lock true part of parachute.sqf that puts you on the ground I commented out the setpos f ( position _chute select 2 <= 1 ) then { _para_unit action [ "eject", _chute]; _chute animate [ "hide_chute", 1 ]; deleteVehicle _chute; _para_unit setdammage 0; _para_unit setvelocity [0, 0, 0]; //_para_unit setpos [ getpos _para_unit select 0, getpos _para_unit select 1, getpos _para_unit select 2]; hope this helps -
Playmove/switchmove and localization
{USI}_Zombie posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Playmove/switchmove seem to have localization. While mission testing, Dirtydeeds and I noticed this. I have a script that forces the player in to a switchmove temporarily. It always works for the player, but another player observing sometimes sees the switchmove and sometimes not. Ideas? -
dirtydeeds and I did some playing of this, so I can offer up the things we noticed: a) ability to join in groups and choose your recruits b) unflip command usable with repair truck c) when a new forward front base is created, additional vehicles are spawned d) a new building in the main, avianintelligence, assuming some sort of UAV? e) a new button in the artillery interface, equipment, no ideas what it does I had high hopes for this update, and I am only mildly impressed,sadly. I do appreciate all the work that went in to it, and there don't seem to be any errors in game, which is good. The total lack of documentation is frustrating and my .rpt is FILLED with messages. Overall a good mission though, I was kind of hoping for more. Thanks though Qwertt and Slon, your work is appreciated
