A small plea to bis re the atan2 function
Milkman replied to Prospero's topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
jeeze i dont have the first clue what you guys are talking about. Although I have heard of the word "Tangent" yes, it is a little button on my algebra calculator but thats about it. I need to get smarter... -
I have decrypted some Mission.pbo files and found two files that interest me and i was hoping if anyone could explain to me what they do. This first one is a Script called "poplach" and i believe it is used to simulate soldiers coming out of barracks. I found it in the 08LoneWolf.cain.pbo file: _sv = units group (_this select 0) debugLog _sv _n = count _sv _marker = getMarkerPos (_this select 1) _dir = _this select 2 _i = 0 #presunout _sv select _i setPos _marker _sv select _i setDir _dir _i = _i + 1 ? _i >= _n : goto "konec" ~ random 4 + 1 goto "presunout" #konec exit Secondly i would like to know what the command "this allowfleeing 0" or "this allowfleeing false" does(I think thats how the command looked). I remember d/l a user made mission called "Camp Commanche 1" and an error message would come up during gameplay about the allowfleeing command having a glitch, although i could still play the game. So can anyone enlighten me to what these two things do???

Well all was dandy untill today; i had just finished my overview.html file and placed in my mission that i was working on. I went into mission editor and when to preview my almost complete creation, only to notice that all the notes and objectives section were gone. Funny, i thought, maybe the editor had some kinda bug, and maybe i should just go ahead and export the mission to sp. So i did and to my dismay i learned my overview was not working either. I know i did everything right, the briefing was working great but as soon as i put in the overview, it stopped working. Once again fellow OFP players, i call apon your help in solving this dilemma.

Thanks Ralph and Bart!

This has puzzled me since it has happened. I was playing the single mission Convoy and and T80 attacked but began to retreat, but not before i fired a Carl Gustav into its engine. The tank stopped and i ran to an ammo crate to get some satchel charges to blow it to kingdom come but when i got to the tank, it hadnt moved and when i went to plant the charges, i noticed i could enter the tank. I Found the whole crew dead inside the tank. And the only thing damaged was the engine, which was colored a dark orange. well i happily took the tank and ran for home base but it still puzzles me how a carl gustav into the engine compartment killed everyone inside, but left the tank operatible. Has this happened to anyone else?

Do they still sell TEC-9s or were they banned for being too easy to convert to full auto?? And what about a Glock 18? Those things were fully automatic pistols from what i can remember.

i removed the overview, but it still didnt work, and i ended up doing the briefing all over again. But nomatter what i do to the Overview, it dosnt show up. I copied a overview from another mission, didnt change it at all and the overview worked. But if i changed one letter, it wouldnt show up at all.

How do you hide radio messages?
Milkman replied to Milkman's topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
i am going to try to put in some false commands in the condition field, but it is still kinda frustraiting. I have been having problems with my game lately. -

Problems moving in a chopper
Milkman replied to IceFire's topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
well get out would not be the proper command if you want the soldiers to disembark. You should tell the chopper to move to the area you want the soldiers to disembark and choose "TRANSPORT UNLOAD". If you want mor info on Waypoints and all that good stuff, i sugest you try out www.ofpec.com theres wealths of info there. -
How do you hide radio messages?
Milkman replied to Milkman's topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
damn, it was that simple *hits head with printed command reference* oh wait i just remebered somthing(thanks to hitting head with command reference), that wasnt it! I was talking about Radio Alpha and all of that stuff because i know how to turn the radio off so i dont hear it, but i was talking about how to hide say a radio message that said "call in airsupport" untill a soviet tank entered a certain trigger, thats what i ment, sorry. -
I try to keep music not associated with the game off because he last thing i need to have is getting shot at and not hearing because the radio is blaring.

Empty chopper with way point...
Milkman replied to PicVert's topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
are you saying you want two pilots to enter a chopper, take off, and move to another point? If so just have the two pilots enter the chopper and add a Move waypoint. I dunno whats up with your game but i can add a get in waypoint and still make the soldiers move to another waypoint... -
I have created a breifing but now that I found a mistake, I want to go back and change some things with it, but i dont know how to. Help żpor favor?
-
thanks alot edc i got it to work.
-
well thats the problem, see i know some html and i already created a briefing in notepad but saved it as breifing.html so it became a html file, now i cant get it back to a notepad text file to modify it. And the thing is my computer is retarded (damn you Bill Gates!! and i cant open the briefing as anything but a html file. There is no way to "Open" the file as a notepad file because the computer reconizes it as a HTML document and dosnt want to change it to anything else.
