Thx Manzilla, hope you enjoy the mission!

openning user missions problem · July 19, 2009

As Big sayd, all missions as pbo goes to the ArmA2 directory/MPmissions...or spmision/your new mission. (C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\mpmissions/your new mission)

The editor mission who are not packet as pbo, goes in your documents/ArmA2/missions folder. This missions you can only play in the editor.

this is what im using to delete marker when task is completed
tskzu2 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; hint "Le ZU-23 a ete detruit!"; "dca2" setMarkerType "empty";

it make the marker empty so you don't see it on the map

I mean the orange task3 marker which is set on the empty marker "camp1";

task3 setSimpleTaskDestination markerpos "camp1";

This marker is always visible, also if i set the "camp1" marker as empty. In the Wiki i found also nothing. Maybe search again ^^

July 19, 2009

I had the same problem, Wiggum.

But i find a interesting function called BIS_fnc_taskManager. This function automatically sets tasks as current. You only set priorities for your tasks (lower number means higher priority). It also randomize the selection of tasks with the same priority.

Example:

[
						BIS_cooper,
					[
						["objShaftoe",   		1],
						["objGorka",			3],
						["objNikolayev",		5],
						["objLagushina",   		5],
						["objSmugglers",   		5],
						["objFindBase",    		4],
						["objSentries",   		3],
						["objLeader",			3],
						["objDestroyBase",		3],
						["objEscortLagushina",	1],
						["objRescueCrew",   	2],
						["objSafehouse",    	3],
						["objMaksim",    		6],
						["objEvidence",    		7]
					]
				] call BIS_fnc_taskManager

I'll give this a try tomorrow.

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 18, 2009

Hmm ok, i tested again and now i got the same as you. I changed now the activation from the supply_drop. I had this lines in a trigger.

waitUntil {!isnil {player getVariable "mainScope"}};
SOM_mainScope = player getVariable "mainScope";
Som1 getVariable "initDone";
[["supply_drop"],player] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc;

and now i changed to:

init.sqf:

waitUntil {!isnil {player getVariable "mainScope"}};
SOM_mainScope = player getVariable "mainScope";
Som1 getVariable "initDone";

Trigger:

[["supply_drop"],player] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc;

So now it should work correctly. Tested it and all works fine (5 times)

Regards :)

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 18, 2009

The Supply Drop works fine. I tested it again now. If you called Hotel, the hint message for supply shows. Then you can activate via the comunication (0-8-1) the supply drop. Click on the map to give the coordinates, then comes minutes later a heli and drop down the equip. It works ;)

July 18, 2009

This should work.

[[[b][i]Let this empty[/i][/b]], BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setFactionsFunc;

Anybody knows the command to delete the markers which are called with this code?

task3 setSimpleTaskDestination markerpos "camp1";

These markers are always visible during the mission. I wanna delete them if the task is completed. Any ideas?

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 18, 2009

There are 3 survivors in the woods. Thy are all around the markers and one of them i remember is under a tree. :rolleyes:

Yes i know my ""bad" english, i've translated the mission as good as i can, but it seems i forgot one trigger text to translate. Sorry will fix this now.

Regards

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 18, 2009

Sure! ^^

You find the binoc and the nvgoggle in the ammo box, left from the backpacks in the tent.

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 18, 2009

I fixed a founded string error in the briefing.sqf and fixed it. Also translated the overview.html and the debriefing. Should work!

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 17, 2009

You might find this helpful for translating, its not always exact but it will do a good enough job & anything glaringly wrong we'll be able to correct you on if you dont mind the feedback.

Follow the link http://dictionary.reference.com/translate

Hope that is of some use to you!

Thx, i have tried a "good" translator, called apacho.de. But the best translator don't help if you don't can correct any translation errors. ^^

Wow, good work. Looking forward to your English translation. If you have problems with it try pasting the text here in German. And maybe I or others would help you.

Ok, i think (hope) i've translated all. But please, i think it's not 100% correct.

I found out what it was. You need to blow up the AA Gun, and I really mean blow up, after that you can call the chopper without a crash.
But the chopper crew is somehow stupid, they keep crashing in trees all the time. Please check if the have nighvision

Yes, this can be the problem. I try to create the trigger when you can call air support. ;)

can u do this mission on russian language? of course if u can do that.. =)

Sure, if i had anybody who speak the russian language i do it.

The english version is now available. Scroll down the download site. Then you see an "English" Button.

Have fun, and i hope the translation is ok so far. :rolleyes:

I know, this problem i had also sometimes. I think its a bug...or a feature :) Crashes it your arma2 every time when you call 0-0-5?

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 15, 2009

Thx for the feedback!

My english is poor. But i try to translate it as good as i can do. Give me 3 days ;)

July 15, 2009

Ok, i changed the "_this" variable to another one. But its the same. They look to the north. I give up.....till tomorrow. Thx for the tips!

_group_4 = createGroup _center_0;
_unit_0 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
 _this = _group_4 createUnit ["RU_Soldier_Medic", getMarkerpOS "soldat_3", [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
 _unit_0 setDir 208.256;
};

July 15, 2009

Thx Big Dawg KS, but it doesn't work. I think the VectorDir command is only for objects. I tryed the lookAt command now. Strange, that setDir doesn't work.

July 15, 2009

Last days i spend a lot of time to spawn a russian camp with vehicles, camp guards, patrols .... But without Fort_RazorWires. With 2 example missions i hope this helps beginners to learn spawning objects and units with [X Y] coordinates an (or) with markers as positions. I don't know if this is the best script-way, but it works. :rolleyes:

Spawned objects in the Camp:

* Basis Baracke

* Helipad

* KA-52

* BTR-90

* UAZ

* Vodnik

* Vodnik_mediEvac

* Kamo Truck

* Kamo Reammo Truck

* Field hospital

* MG position

* Camo net

* Mapboard

* Ammo boxes

* camp fire

* Paletas

* Antenna

* Guards

* Wood patrol

* Camp guards

One thing is, that the spawned soldiers all look to the north. I set any azimuts (setDir positions), but they always look gen north. I don't know why. Any ideas to fix this would be nice.

Enjoy!

USER MISSIONS · July 14, 2009

Thx! Nice that you enjoy the campaign.

ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS · July 14, 2009

Here is my newest SP mission for ArmA2. Search At War is a nice Spetz mission with 6 mission objectives.

Story:

A russian support convoy was attacked by guerillas in Myshkino. Only 3 russian soldiers survive ths ambush and hide now in the woods. They hope anybody rescue them. The warlord Tristian planed many attacks against the russian forces and is now the target of the Spetz. You have to find the soldiers and hunt for Tristian. Find and kill him. Bring back the soldiers, alive. :cool:

.

Have fun and sorry for my english ^^

July 14, 2009

Maybe the time between the jumps is to small. Have you tried this script? I used it in my mission and it works fine.

?!(isServer) : exit

_grp = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_par = units _grp
_i = 0
_j = count _par
~(random 3)
#loo
unassignvehicle (_par select _i)
(_par select _i) action ["EJECT",_veh]
_i=_i+1
~.4
?_j>_i:goto "loo"
exit

Here is the link to the BIS Wiki (Scripting)

Very nice and useful. Thx swtx!

July 13, 2009

@Imutep
Using random on an allready randomly chosen number isn't a good idea :)

Xeno

Sorry, my scripting knowledge is limited. I only tested your example and it works fine so far. But it spawns always 1-5 vehicles with the same class. (3 BMPs or 4 T90...) I remember the command select random and tested it. Now it spawns 1-5 vehicles with different classes. ( 1 BMP3 and 2 T90, or 1 T90 with 1 BRDM and 1 BMP3)

No good idea? :)
