Step by Step Helicopter Extraction Guide

[Step by Step Helicopter Extraction Guide]

I made a lot of example mission like heli insertion, extraction, via radio call and som_transport. Take a look!

Learning by doing! ;)

[Dynamic Transport Function]

Here is an example mission called som_transport_expl1

[ArmALaunch - Mod launcher for Arma 1/2]

Thx for the new version :)

Updated the dl link on our addon section at Assault Mission Studio

[trigger for "whole group" doesnt work :(]

(!alive 1) AND (!alive 2) AND (!alive 3) AND (!alive 4) ...etc.....

If you want that the whole group is dead, so use...

(count units NameGroup) <1

or

(count units NameGroup) == 0

[Tank Group Formation]

An example to add a waypoint to a spawned group (with formation)

_this = [b][color="Red"]TS1[/color][/b] addWaypoint [[4524.3, 7938.0, 0], 0];
_this setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";
_this setWaypointType "MOVE";
[_this, 0] setWaypointFormation "COLUMN"
[_this, 0] setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
_waypoint_0 = _this;

[Change Side]

Maybe works with selectPlayer ? I'm not sure.....

[moveInCargo command]

And for groups use...

GroupName = group this;{_x assignAsCargo NameVehicle; _x moveInCargo NameVehicle} forEach units group this";

[Parachute Troops]

[Trigger Help - Remove AI after]

In ArmA2 you can use the command setHit to damage a part of an vehicle. Try out.

vehicle player setHit ["engine", 1]

[Surrender Modul]

Only put the surrender modul on the map without synchronisation. When the suppression fire is too heavy, the enemy unit will drop down her weapons and turn into captive mode. Looks like they are civilians now. Players side units never surrender.

[How can i create troops inserted by helos?]

Here are some example mission of heli insertion and extraction. Also via radio call.

[Mission task/briefing]

I have this command in my briefing, but won't work. I will try with trigger now.

[Turn off lighthouse?]

Give this little example a try. But not 100% sure if this works. On street lamps it works. ^^

1.) Put a game logic an write in the init line:

ID161790=position this nearestObject 161790

The you can use the command to switch off the light.

ID161790 switchLight "off";

The ID161790 you've to change with the real ID from the lighthouse.

[Mission task/briefing]

I've got the same problem. :j:

[Trigger - Create a marker?]

This is one example to create a marker. You can write this as a script or in the activation of an trigger.

_marker = createMarker ["YourMarker", position player ];
"YourMarker" setMarkerType "Warning";
"YourMarker" setMarkerSize [1, 1];
"YourMarker" setMarkerDir 0.93884;
"YourMarker" setMarkerText "Your text";
"YourMarker" setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
"YourMarker" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "Marker1";

YourMarker is created at players position and set it to the position of Marker1. Marker1 is an empty marker.

And here are more infos to create markers.

[Destroy trigger]

Correct!

The task in your briefing should be completed if the trucks or one of them are destroyed? Ok, then you write in the activation field on your trigger....

[b][color="Red"]task1[/color][/b] setTaskState "succeeded";

Now in your briefing is task1 completed. More infos about the ArmA2 briefings you can find here...or here.

If you want that all 3 trucks should be destroyed for completed task1 (task1 is an example) then write in the condition of the trigger...

! alive t1 && ! alive t2 && ! alive t3

or

not alive t1 and not alive t2 and not alive t3

Hope this helps ;)

[Destroy trigger]

How do i make a trigger that activates when the vehicle is destroyed?

Condition in the trigger:

! alive NameVehicle

or

getDamage NameVehicle >= 0.7

[ArmA II Game Of The Year Nomination?]

I voted a big YES. ArmA2 should be GOTY. Which else? :rolleyes:

[AI Paradrop from C130J]

Thx for sgf version, Rommel ^^

[AI Real in-game Dialog System [DSAI]]

Ok no problem. Is fixed.

[Halo jumping.]

Try this example mission! ;)

[AI Paradrop from C130J]

It keeps telling me that it cant find jump.sqs! i have copied the mission script into a notepad document and renamed it jump.sqs and put it into the folder for the mission i am using it in.

What do you guys think is the problem?

Try to write the script with the ArmA Script Editor from Chenderman. If this not work, try the example mission with the script. Find here.

Many Thanks.

Do I create a trigger exec jump.sqs in it over the area I want the AI jump to occur?

Yes, ceate a trigger where you wanna jump out and call the script with... (on activation in the trigger)

[NameGroup,NamePlane] exec "jump.sqs"; 

[ArmALaunch - Mod launcher for Arma 1/2]

Ups, is fixed. The routine with the BI-Forums links...... :rolleyes:
