Simple questions about a random mortar script

[Simple questions about a random mortar script]

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of simple questions about a random mortar script.

a) How do I add sound to it so every time it fires a sound file is played.

b) How do I call the script from a trigger I havetried a variation execVM and others with no luck.

Script:

// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// 1. Center place an object ot gamelogic where you want the explosions.

// 2. Choose the size of the area in metere.

// 3. Select how many explosions you require

// 4. Select the maximum delay between explosions in seconds.

// 5. minimum delay is 0.5 secs and can be changed in the script.

// 6. If the two // are removed from the "Grenadebase" line a more visible marke is left on the ground.

// 7."HelicopterExploSmall" "HelicopterExploBig" "SmallSecondary"

_pos = _this select 0;

_area = _this select 1;

_rounds = _this select 2;

_del = _this select 3;

_height = 0;// increase this if you want the items to fall from the sky.

_ammo = "grenade";// Ammo can be changed for larger effects.

for [{_i = 0},{_i < _rounds},{_i = _i + 1}] do

{

_newpos = GetPos _pos;

_posX = _newpos select 0;

_posY = _newpos select 1;

_bomb = _ammo createVehicle[(_posX + random _area)-_area/2, (_posY + random _area)-_area/2,_height];

// _bomb = "GrenadeBase" createVehicle [(getpos _bomb select 0),(getpos _bomb select 1),-10];

sleep (random _del)+0.5;// minimum delay 0.5, adjust for best results.

};

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Textures look terrible?]

I have 64bit win7 with 8gig ram. I think the graphic glithes are due to game conflect with some GFX drivers.

[Textures look terrible?]

Got same issue too. Unsure how to fix. Antialising did not make a difference.

Some seem not to have any issues. The question is the issue dependent on GFX? MBO or Drivers? Or something else?

[Can you create an area where no Ambiant civilians will be spawned?]

If you spawn civs via script, you can give them way points around town so they will wonder around only in areas you want them to. The issue with modules as you said, you do not have full control.

[Can you create an area where no Ambiant civilians will be spawned?]

I had a mission where I used a spawn script to spawn civilians with wp around the town as well as enemy units on patrol in town. It worked great. I can post mission if interested.

[Low Polygon on west units]

It is not the (BAF+PMC) units, but west (Army +USMC) (ACE)

The question is why only certain units but not others?

[Low Polygon on west units]

Hey everyone,

I have an issue with some units (west) showing low polygon even though I have settings on high. Never had that issue before. I just reinstalled windows 7 64bit.

Card: ATI HD4870

Any ideas? Settings? Drivers? Again this seem more related to west units (army, USMC)

[Help finding server configuration file]

Thanks PvPscene. That was the issue. Going back and setting difficulty in game created that section that was missing! Thanks for pointing out the simple solution.:ok:

[Help finding server configuration file]

Thanks PvPscene. I saw that page the problem is (my previous post under spoilers) my arma2profile looks different from that page. So I am not sure why or how to fix ..

Great mod!! Only issue is if you designh a mission it become dependent on it. Anyway to make optional so only servers have it but not necessarily clients?

Hmm my ArmA2OAProfile "CaptainBravo" does not show the above??? How do I get my ArmA2OAProfile to look like yours???

I need to look up how to show file extensions in win7

[Windows 7 - where is .ArmA2Profile???]

Hey Concurssi, Actually I am still learning my way through win 7 which is a bit different than xp.

Feeling like a total noob .. where is difficulties sections?

In XP it was under my other profile.

[Why is this game not more popular?]

A one shot one kill is a turn off for most arcade gamers. It is also a much sssssslower game than COD and does require real team play. Hence we lose 90% of potential players (12 and under)

However, this game is the only game that has more ex/active service members online than any other game.

[Windows 7 - where is .ArmA2Profile???]

Ok clicking the mouse once at the file of "CaptainBravo" profile I see arma2profile at the bottom ..

However, I can not find the lines that have server settings such as:

skillEnemy=0.99500001;

precisionFriendly=0.5;

precisionEnemy=0.20499997;

I am sure I am missing something silly ,, but what??

Thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks guys for the quick response. I see my profile "CaptainBravo" under other profiles. But can not find .ArmA2Profile ??

No Arma files come under appdata.

Any ideas?

[Windows 7 - where is .ArmA2Profile???]

Hey everyone,

A NooB question it seems but I just upgraded to Win7 and now I can not seem to find .ArmA2Profile ??

I have searched forum but as suggested under other profiles it is not there!

Anyone with Win7 point me where it is??

[Simple Guard Post Script]

Great script Tophe! However, it seems recently it stoped working. Now the units run from their position and get on top of blduings. Nots sure why?

Using it with ACE and Zues AI.

[Female Soldier (beta wip)]

Looks great!! Only question can we get a female voice with that unit or will she sound like a bubbe? :)

Great work.

[Dynamic-AI-Creator (DAC) V3.0 released]

Thanks Silola,

DAC_Res_Side = 0 fixed the issue of them shooting each other.

So I can learn: can I ask why you changed 0 to 2 [2,10,0,1]] I thought east was 0?

The other observation I noticed is it seems soldiers in groups dissapear except for the squad leader. So I see all groups running on map but when I get near them there is only one unit?

Thanks for a great addon by the way! :)

[Dynamic-AI-Creator (DAC) V3.0 released]

EXCELLENT addon that is a must to have "smart" enemy AI.

The only issue I am having lately is I have a mission with DAC and later some enemy is spawned (same side - EAST) but for some reason they start shooting at each other including units in own squad!

Not sure why or how to fix? Any ideas/solutions?
