Great post brother. I hear you on this. I think BI is falling into the trap of putting in all the "bells and whistles" like what other game makers are doing. They should instead focus on improving game FUNCTION. I.E... deformable terrain, ability to rest weapons, dig trenches, fox holes etc. Shoot from vehicles. Increased number of animations and shooting positions etc. I would rather have those features in the game rather than some LAGdoll physics.
-
BI,
I love you guys and your games.
BUt..
would you PLEASE.. PLEASE make it in this game so we can shoot small arms from vehicles? Every position please. And make it so we can shoot rifles from the port hole gunning positions or the turn out positions of APCs. That way we can properly use APCs.
Please. I'm begging you. I will buy 2 copies of your game if you do this. I promise this to you before this community and God.

Is there a way to make this compatible with AI (friendly and enemy) ?Would be REALLY awesome if possible !
Cheers
I'm sure it possible, Norrin does it with his revive script. At this time, I am not interested in converting the script over due to the amount of scripting/time involved.
-
Does anyone have a script or know how to script and check when all players are incapacitated and in need healing when the BIS stock medic modules are in your mission?
I would like my missions to end when this condition is meet, but I not sure how to do it dynamically in a mission where the player group composition might vary.
-
Thank you this is always useful to have in a mission.Is this a new version or a new release of same version?
You might be confusing my script with someone elses. I have never released this script to the public before.
However, stand by, I am revising this to change the "flip vehicle" action option to not show up on your screen. I will make it low priority so it doesn't spam people's screen when they are around a disabled vehicle.

GeneralCarver Vehicle Ammo Crate
Description:
This script gives the driver of a vehicle the ability to drop an ammo crate behind the vehicle. The ammo crate is not connected to or stored in the vehicle, it is simply moved between its storage marker and the deployment position behind the vehicle. Vehicles must be within 20m to "load" the crate.
Compatibility: ArmA 2: OA.
Features:
- Deploy/load ammo crate for a vehicle via your action menu.
- Vehicle respawn not supported.
- Multiplayer Compatible
- intended for ground vehicles only.
Demo Video:
Installation:
- Copy over the scripts directory to your mission's directory.
- copy over the init.sqf contents to your mission's init.sqf.
- description of init scripting...
- gc_veh_ammo_crate_vehicle_array - Array of vehicles in game which script supports.
- gc_veh_ammo_crate_ammo_crate_array - array of ammo crates for vehicles
- gc_veh_ammo_crate_storage_marker_array - array of storage markers for each crate. In string format. Example: ["MARKERNAME", "MARKERNAME"...]
- gc_veh_ammo_crate_y_offset_value - distance behind the vehicle ammo crate needs to clear the vehicle when deployed. Will always be a negative value. Experiment to set for each class of vehicle your using.
- Note: The association of marker, ammo crate and vehicle is dependent on their order in the array, be sure their order in each array matches.
- description of init scripting...
[*]Merge the contents of the template mission with yours in the editor. This script DOES require the functions module to be in your mission (included in the sample mission)
[*]Ensure you do not have multiple function modules in your mission. You only need one.
[*]In the Mission Editor change the vehicle in the editor to the type of vehicle you need in your mission.
[*]In the mission editor name the ammo crate and storage marker with a name which will show you the vehicle, ammo crate, and storage marker are all associated.
[*]In the Mission Editor move the ammo crate DIRECTLY over top of the storage marker and then move the two off away from the mission area. These must be hidden from players.
[*]Back in the mission init.sqf put the names of the vehicle, marker and ammo crate in the appropriate array. Their order in each array must match (reference the array descriptions above)
[*]Repeat steps as necessary to add more vehicles supported by the script.
JIP Compatibility Warning:
If you script in the init of the ammo box under its properties, this scripting will execute every time a client connects to the server if your mission has join in progress. So, if you had a script which added 5 magazines to the crate, every time someone joined in progress the script would execute and add 5 more magazines. Although this is not terrible, be aware as it may have unintended consequences on your mission. Especially avoid clearing the cargo of the crate. This will remove all inventory if someone joins in progress which means if players have placed gear in the crate, it will be deleted.
Use:
100% Open Source. Use and modify as needed.

- Installation is identical for both scripts.
- Using both will give the player two separate spare vest pouches.
- Copy the Scripts directory over to your mission's directory.

Compatability: ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead
Features:
- Multiplayer Compatible
- Gives players a deploy-able backpack
- Can change the type of backpack used.
Description:
This script creates a ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead Backpack which a player can deploy from his action menu. The backpack is clientside (other players on a multiplayer server will not be able to see or access it). This is intended to offer ArmA 2 units which cannot carry the Arrowhead expansion backpacks on their person, a simulated way of having a backpack. Deploy the backpack from your action menu. The deployed backpack can be used like any other normally deployed Arrowhead backpack. "Pickup" the backpack via the action on the backpack.
Known Issues:
1. Usability issue - As mentioned above, this was created to give ArmA 2 units in Arrowhead a way of "carrying" a backpack. Arrowhead and expansion units can use backpacks. If this script is used for those units players will have the normal "take backpack" action to pick up the backpack normally. If this does occur, they can simply drop it and still access the pickup action associated with this script. Not recommended for use with Arrowhead and expansion units.
Video Demo:
Installation..
- Copy the scripts directory from the sample mission directory over to your mission's directory.
- Copy the contents of the init.sqf over to your mission's init.sqf.
- Set the variable gc_spare_backpack_script_revive in the mission init.sqf to determine if your mission is using a revive script or not. (true/false)
- In the mission editor copy the marker in the sample mission over to your mission and place it somewhere out of the way.
- In the mission editor copy over or insert the Functions module into your mission.
- In the Action Manager Script (located in the "scripts" directory) you can set which type of backpack you want the script to create.

You can tell him to move to places on the map or load and unload the ammo crate.<br/><br/>Beware, the Pack Cow does have a mind of his own. Take care of him and keep an eye on him. He tends to graze and wander sometimes and can be scared by combat. Hey, after all he is just a cow.<br/><br/>One note, if the cow's A.I. seems to not complete move orders, try issuing him two in a row to the same area. That should get him moving. Sometimes the grazing behavior coded into the cow's A.I. behavior will interrupt his movement orders."]];

Compatibility: ArmA 2: OA/ ArmA 2: Combined Ops
Features..
Displays the heading of a player in white title text when the compass key is pressed. Press again to turn off. Why? Many players like to call out contacts relative to their compass heading. The default size of the compass in ArmA 2 is pretty small and it can be hard to read the exact heading you are facing. This script solves this issue without the needs for addons which modify the compass.
Use:
100% open source. Use or modify this script as needed.
Installation...

2. copy contents of init.sqf into your mission's init.sqf file.
4. Optional init.sqf content...
Optional Notes...
// create a scripts category

Compatiability:
ArmA 2: OA/ ArmA 2: Combined Ops
Features..
This is a simple revive script. When a player is killed they will respawn in place and be placed into the laying prone animation to await revive.
The player can be revived by another player. Use the "Revive" action in your action menu.
When a player is revived, they will be slightly injured and may or may not be able to walk (recommend adding medic in missions)
Script is entirely client-side, no public variables or network traffic to manage (works by basically "watching" other unit's animation state).
The script is NOT compatible with friendly AI.
Script preserves player's gear, backpack and backpack contents.
Old dead body is deleted.
Not recommended for use with BI Medical modules.
Recommended for cooperative mission only.
Notes:
If a player repeatedly respawns via his game menu's "Respawn" button, it is possible at times to break the script. I have released the script in spite of this, as I would hope most players are mature enough to avoid "testing" scripts to see how they may abuse them.
Special thanks to the United Operations ArmA 2 community for help testing. (www.unitedoperations.net)

Get number of building positions?
in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Posted
Something else I will add to this discussion for anyone who is reading this to get info on this topic...
Sometimes when you order AI to move from position to position for certain buildings in ArmA 2 they will run off balconies and roofs and fall to their death. So just keep that in mind. You might want to spectate the AI's movement before your release the map to make sure you don't have a situation like that.
