maybe have a specified class just for uav. like artillery men and stuff.

thats your error http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/action http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/commander look at those. Your error is in your get out script. Again look at your ARMA2.rpt file.

if you add the action to the vehicle any unit will get it when they get within range. I have some pretty good experience with this. Look at my script and the wiki and study them. Then look at yours very carefully and look out for typos. dont forget ; after a commandline and check your arma2.rpt file located in local app data. script errors show there. Chances are you have some kind of an error. Possibly with the get out script. What do you have for the get out script?

sorry about the double quotes, did a quick copy from mission.sqm. Single quote is the format you need. Now Rescue2 is the vehicle or your unit? if it is your unit make it the vehicle and put that script initline in the initbox of the vehicle. hav_uavin = vehname addAction ["Get In", "getin.sqf", [], 6, true, true, "","alive _target"]; ; copy the initline and use that. make sure getin.sqf is in your main missions folder under mydocuments\arma2\missions.

never tried, but i know it works in mp. You will have to try it out. Otherwise you have to find all of the BIS functions that go along with the uav and put them in a fancy script. Just look at the wiki link I posted and try it out.

this is one of my addaction scripts and it works perfectly _host = _this select 0; _caller = _this select 1; _id = _this select 2; if (not alive _host) exitwith { hint "Unit Not Alive"; _host removeaction _id; }; _caller sidechat format ["lets go %1, were getting you out of here", name _host]; [_host] join _caller; _host setcaptive false; _host enableAI "Move"; _host removeaction _id; _hostleave = _host addAction ["Leave Hostage", "dta\scripts\ghst_hostleave.sqf", [], 6, true, true, "","alive _target and not pows"]; if yours is not working then something with your initline for starting the script is off or something. this is my script initline ghst_hostjoin = pow2 addAction [""Rescue Hostage"", ""dta\scripts\ghst_hostjoin.sqf"", [], 6, true, true, """",""alive _target and not pows""]; possible try different prioritys.

did you try it with _host instead of _caller?

where is your ammo.sqf file located?

addaction passes multiple vars to the script and those are accessed as follows _host = _this select 0; _caller = _this select 1; _id = _this select 2; caller is the unit activating the addaction, host is the object where the addaction is attached to and id is the action ref. to have another addaction launch from the script and work properly you need to use _caller instead of the hostname. _caller moveincommander UAVMHQ; _caller removeAction _uavin; _uavout = _caller addAction ["Get Out", "getout.sqf"]; that should work. or you could use _host too if you would like for getout. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction

units will always leave a vehicle which is not drivable.

I just followed the examples from the wiki. Basically when you used _crate = "RUBasicAmmunitionBox" createVehicle .... _crate refers to the model and all kinds of stuff. if you want to know what im talking about put a hint in the script after the createvehicle command as follows hint format ["%1", _crate]; so since _crate is not technically the name of the object but what the object is you have to use the setvehicleinit command then process those commands via processinitcommands.

what about placing the module and linking everything? http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/UAV

I think he has the variable NORRN_unconscious and how you would use that is nameofunit getVariable "NORRN_unconscious"; which would return true or false I believe. This is a guess by looking at his script.

When you place a trigger there is a box that says TYPE. Click the box and a drop down menu appears, then just click on switch. Very simple, any other questions please refer to this link. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Mission_Editor#Triggers_Mode_.28F3.29

AFAIK what you want is not possible but I could be wrong.

something like this. Might need tweaking if (!isServer) exitWith {}; _crate = "RUBasicAmmunitionBox" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "friendly"); _crate setvehicleinit "clearMagazineCargo this; clearWeaponCargo this; this addMagazineCargo ["FlareGreen_M203", 25]; this addMagazineCargo ["FlareRed_M203", 25]; this addMagazineCargo ["FlareWhite_M203", 25]; this addMagazineCargo ["FlareYellow_M203", 25];"; processInitCommands; sleep 1; clearVehicleInit _crate;

you might want to check these two commands out http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/processInitCommands http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVehicleInit

create a trigger set it to repeat and put condition local player then in onactivation field put _psettings = [] execvm "playersettings.sqf"; create new text file and rename it playersettings.sqf. in that file put the following BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication = [ ["User menu", false], ["View distance 2000", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "setviewdistance 2000; hint (""View distance set to "" + str viewdistance)"]], "1", "1"], ["View distance 3000", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "setviewdistance 3000; hint (""View distance set to "" + str viewdistance)"]], "1", "1"], ["View distance 4000", [4], "", -5, [["expression", "setviewdistance 4000; hint (""View distance set to "" + str viewdistance)"]], "1", "1"], ["View distance 5000", [5], "", -5, [["expression", "setviewdistance 5000; hint (""View distance set to "" + str viewdistance)"]], "1", "1"], ["View distance 6000", [6], "", -5, [["expression", "setviewdistance 6000; hint (""View distance set to "" + str viewdistance)"]], "1", "1"] ]; now you access that by pressing 0-8 then the number option. Mess with that

then it should work. Check your rpt file and look for errors, maybe you have a typo somewhere?

where are you putting the script init commandline? and what is the format you are using?

yea sorry about that i forgot extra (. but it works just fine for me. No with that you could just subtract one from the other. But guess your other method is working so thats great! hint format ["Unit1 is %1 \n Unit2 is %2", ((getposasl UNIT1) select 2),((getposasl UNIT2) select 2)];

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getPosASL you have to do something like the example from the link hint format["position above sea level: %1",(getPosASL player) select 2] select 0 = x, select 1 = y, select 2 = z so maybe something as follows if ((getposasl UNIT1) select 2) < (getposasl UNIT2) select 2)) then { hint format ["Unit1 is %1 \n Unit2 is %2", (getposasl UNIT1) select 2),(getposasl UNIT1) select 2)]; }; give it a shot, might need tweaking. Its late so I might not make much sense atm. Hope it helps anyway.

i believe you need to have the rest of your script in the {} of the case. _pos = _this select 0; _sideofcamp = _this select 1; _side = toLower(_sideofcamp); switch (_side) do { case "east": {_campSide = createCenter east; _grp = createGroup EAST;...rest of script..}; case "west": {_campSide = createCenter west; _grp = createGroup WEST;...rest of script..}; case "resistance": {_center = resistance;}; default {_center = resistance;}; }; try that and if that does not work then make your script so that you specify side in arguments [West] execvm "yourscript.sqf" //yourscript.sqf _side = _this select 0;
