Hello,
allow me to introduce you to the Dynamic Transportation Project.
It started as a small exercise in scripting for ArmA (as I never scripted for ArmA or OFP before) and ended in a collection of quite useful (at least I think so ) scripts for SP mission makers, inspired by the great GDCE for OFP.
The scripts provide SP mission makers with the possibility to let the player freely choose when and where he wants to insert to or extract from the mission area and to give the player the possibility to call medevac to save his wounded men.
How it works:
Insertion, Paradrop, Extraction and Medevac can be called using the radio. A map will pop up, where the player can choose the area where the chosen action should take place. As soon as he has done this, the Chopper or APC - depending on the distance between the base and the LZ - will start to move towards the LZ.
Example videos:
- Insertion
- Extraction
- Paradrop
- Medevac
Please try the > Beta < and give me some feedback. Constructive criticism is welcome!
The Beta contains a simple demo mission as well as a mission template.
Currently, the scripts are for SP only - I have a really baaad internet connection and thus do not play MP - so scripting for MP is out of my scope. If anyone is interested in porting my scripts to MP, though, don't hesitate to do so
