    ArmA is just ... awesome!

    Expect the best. Right now there are a few SP missions out that are really well done and add a lot to Arma-engine. I know, i´m repeating myself, but I am working on a missionset (possibly campaign) that certainly will get you where you want to be It just takes time and lots of work to make it "real", to have ambience and mission setup right and to add things that are not coming with Arma. I am working on 2 missions for about 4 months now and I still find things I want to improve or invent for that missions. Playing both of them will give you shivers, that´s what I am sure about. But I want to have them perfect, from cloudlayers to a custom speech/ambience engine. This takes time. When I playtest the missions I always get sucked in by the atmosphere and the immersion some dynamic modules can produce within a mission. With Arma this has been made alot more easier, even if I still run into heavy problems at times or simply rip my nails out if I see another convoi of vehicles simply driving through the sidewalls of a bridge to drown. Overall, Arma is the best you can get right now. It just needs time to get topnotch missions for it done for SP experience.
  2. Just wanted to implement such and ran into a problem. I have made this script to teleport some units to a campfire and have them sit there. Problem is that they all get up again and do not remain on the ground. What´s the deal ? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">trugu setcombatmode "Green"; trugu_1 setcombatmode "Green"; sitter setcombatmode "Green"; trugu setpos [getPos si1 select 0, getpos si1 select 1, 0]; trugu_1 setpos [getPos si2 select 0, getpos si2 select 1, 0]; sitter setpos [getPos si3 select 0, getpos si3 select 1, 0]; ~ 2 trugu dowatch firecamp; trugu_1 dowatch firecamp; sitter dowatch firecamp; ~ 1 trugu disableAi "autotarget"; trugu_1 disableAi "autotarget"; sitter disableAi "autotarget"; ~ 1 trugu action ["SITDOWN",trugu]; trugu_1 action ["SITDOWN",trugu_1]; sitter action ["SITDOWN",sitter]; ~ 1 trugu disableAI "move"; trugu_1 disableAI "move"; sitter disableAI "move"; exit Any input is welcome.
  3. Thx for your input guys. I´m running into problems though when I try to implement the ideas. This is what I have in the Unit init of the medic(s): <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this AddEventHandler ["AnimChanged",{[_This Select 0] ExecVM "Medic.sqs"}]; It seems to me that everytime the unit performes a movement the script will fire, probably because the specific animation isn´t checked. How can I add the animation to be checked right from the init ? Second problem, the script: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_ListOfSounds=["heal1","heal2","heal3","heal4","heal5"]; if(animationState _medic == "AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_medic") then {_medic say _Sound} _Sound=_ListOfSounds Select (floor (random (Count _ListOfSounds))); _medic Say _Sound; exit; Gives me some errors.

    The Iraq thread 4

    It´s hard to rebuild if you actually got no money to do it and no real plan to get it done. Rebuilding Iraq, Report to congressional Committees Get your facts straight. That´s what iraquis majority of people think about the US troops. Uh, yes. Cliche man is among us.

    Expansion: Arma: Queen's Gambit

    Then go and buy VBS 2 for 1802 $ apart from demanding the same features from an expansion for 30 Euros.

    ArmA is just ... disappointing

    Try higher settings. I have a less powerfull rack than you and have everything on normal or high, except shadows and AF.
  8. Why don´t you just delete the trigger you no longer need with OnActivation line ? As soon as one trigger fires you could remove the other one on the fly to avoid problems.

    CAN WE HAVE CAMERA IN EDITOR

    I simply use GameLogics at the points where I want the camera. Makes it more flexible imo as you can just move them around for finetuning. And to be honest: Weren´t we all a bit tired of the constant orbitals and fixed zooms with trigger-cams-missions ?

    The Iraq thread 4

    The only ones attacking the US , it´s justice system, it´s basic rights and it´s people are the members of G.W.´s White House staff. It´s not terrorists, but your own government that does most harm to the people of the US right now.

    The Iraq thread 4

    That´s one thing I certainly do not agree with. If there was a tendency in reporting about the Iraq war for the first years, it was that all major broadcasters in the US were playing along the GOP interests. They did not question the initial reasons GOP offered for the war and there was hardly any outspoken critisism against the war as this would have put them into the corner of being unpatriotic and unamerican. They have learned from the scandals about evidence that has been made up and scandals like Abu Ghraib or the Tillman story that the things they got told to release by the GOP are very questionable or even completely made up. They have learned that the government can´t be trusted on that issue while being forced to play along the rules if they don´t want to loose their correspondents who were with the troops. Creating the "embedded journalists" the GOP introduced the best way to control and influence media perspective on the war and manipulate the output. Still, reality has shown that you can´t hide the truth endlessly, no matter how hard you try to discredit the source. I guess people who are really interested in a subject of global matter do not just wathc one TV station to get their infos. They read papers from all over the world to get as much input as possible and then draw their conclusions. Internet has opened the door for global news availability. If you want to get yourself informed, you have the chance to. If you want to ignore what you don´t like to hear, you´ll have a hard time defending your stance, granted that everyone today has the possibility to get news from almost every thinkable perspective. The Bush administration has been very manipulative with the press for years and it definately took to long before they woke up and realized that the press has other obligations than tooting the GOP propaganda unchecked.

    Music Recommendations

    Lately rediscovered an album I bought a while ago. Easystar all-stars: Dub side of the moon. Basically a dub remake of Pink Floyd´s Dark side of the moon, but offers a large variety of genres and is perfect for chilled evenings with friends. Listen to some tracks on the easystar dub side of the moon page @techno: There is more than bum-bum charts techno. Even Kraftwerk could be taken to that category. I erased the ones I do not know and fixed one name Could probably add a lot more but I am too lazy to turn around and search through my unsorted collection that fills one side of the room up to the ceiling. Still, I am more into electronic music as a whole and as I can see from your list you also have some house artists on it. A well...scrab the above. I have no real favourite music. There is so much music from different genres that I like that it´s not easy to describe. Be it brazil, ragga, funk, dub, house, electronica, nujazz, metal, hardcore, indie, goth, fusion.......... Basically from Pantera to 70´s Strip-club music, but I absolutetly hate charts music of any kind. I could vomit on newstyle gangstarap and nowadays "R&B". So called Artists representing those genres should be sent to nevercomeback-island. Classic Rap or good one like for example NWA, of course Public Enemy, Digital underground but also guys like Busta Rhymes get my vote. It´s just that anyone with a microphone thinks he´s a superrappper today. I guess all that gangsta rappers should meet oneday and have a legitimate reallife deathmatch. This would actually clean the air in the genre for a while Just forgot to add that all those who are looking for something different should have a listen to UNKLE - war stories. It´s a mix of psychedellic rock , beats and atmospheric patterns. I love it. The ones who remember the Psyence-fiction UNKLE album, will love this one. It´s disturbing as the old Frontline - Assembly album "Tactical neural implant" which is still an all-time favourite for me and sweet as Postishead at times. Definately a must-hear.

    G36 DESERT CAMO RESKIN

    Nice job, but unfortunally the chosen colors are not of much use for a desert camo. Reference: G36 K custom desert camo

    The Iraq thread 4

    I guess everyone who has actually been there for some times will tell a very different story. I love the town. Period.
  17. If all fails, you could also open your mission.sqm after saving with the object in question and change it´s side manually there.

    How do I make units invincible?

    You can have a little loop script running that sets the dammage of the unit to 0 in short intervals. Still, if he receives damage <= 1 from a shot or explosion he will probably instantly die before the script can reset the damage value.
  22. Objects are side empty=civillian by default. You can make soldiers attack any kind of objects by using setFriend command. This way you can make objects hostile to any side. While this method poses the risk that all custom placed objects will be attacked by your units. You could end up with a squad of madmen who literally blast their way through empty objects as if there was no tomorrow. A more "detailed" way to achieve that units attack a specific object could be to group an enemy unit to the object and set the probability of presence for the enemy unit to 0, so that the unit isn´t placed on the map when the mission starts. (untested though, don´t know if it works with objects) You could also use addRating, add a negative rating as this would probably will make the object appear to be hostile to your units and they will attack it. (also untested) Not by simple scripting, this would be a moddeling job with changing the config.
