Looks like a very serious step backwards in the rebuilding of Serbia and the surrounding Baltic Countrys. I hope the guy replacing Djinjic isn't another Milosevik.

You know there is an excell file at http://www.ofpec.com/ That shows all armour ratings and their resistance to certain types of rounds.

That wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it helped!! I understand what to do now!! Thanks a bunch!!

Hello again, I'm making an Intro that involves many tanks, helicopters, and soldiers. Its kinda like a big battle scene. Anyways I'm trying to make the camera follow one of my Helicopters for 10 seconds then switch over to another vehicle and so on. So far I have got this: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_cam = "camera" camcreate getpos Tank1 _cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"] _cam camsettarget Tank3 _cam camsetrelpos [5,0,8] _cam camcommit 0 Â ~3 _cam camsettarget Tank2 _cam camsetrelpos [-5,0,8] _cam camcommit 0 ~3 _cam camsettarget Tank1 _cam camsetrelpos [10,5,2] _cam camcommit 0 ~7 _cam camsettarget of1 _cam camsetrelpos [0,-1,1] _cam camcommit 0 ~6 _cam camsettarget apc3 _cam camsetrelpos [0,-5,1] _cam camcommit 0 ~6<span id='postcolor'> Now here comes the part where I need the camera to follow the Helicopter. I DONT want it to just target and watch the Heli, I want the camera to FOLLOW the helicopter as it moves. In my search to find a way to do this, I looked at some other camera scripts and one of them had the line: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_cam camSetTarget a10 _cam camSetFOV 0.7 end = false #loop _cam camSetRelPos [0, -45, 17] _cam camCommit 0 ~.001 ?(!end) : goto "loop"<span id='postcolor'> This does work, but I can't get it to switch to the next view, so even if there are commands after this one, it stays on this one indefinitley. So what I am asking is; How do I get a camera to follow a helicopter or tank or person as it watches them??

What I meant to say was, "I thought the British burned down the Whitehouse." And then I though, "Hey wait a second, were they still under British control when that happened??" So what I am getting at is that the Canadians (Under British rule) burned down the Whitehouse. So otherwise SOLDIERS FROM CANADA, NOT FROM ENGLAND burned down the original Whitehouse. Even though they were under British command.

They burnt down the white house in the 1812 war?? !!BASTARDS!!

It isnt just that heli that has problems with that sorta glitch. One time I was playing multiplayer on that Battlefield v1.34 map. Me and about 10 others were on a Mi17 heading towards the airfield. When we all bailed, me and two others had no parachute, and went splat into the ground.

Its possible to kill the LST, but you need an Mi17 or Mi24 to do it. With an Mi17, I fired about 120 rockets at it before it died, and with the Mi24, I launched all the AT6's, 57mm Rockets, and about 200 rounds of 30mm chain gun before it died.

Hey Mr Frag, you were right! I posted this thing along time ago and I am surprised it resurfaced, but anyways. I did have a number of stupid addons that I was too lazy to delete and now that they are gone, the problem dosn't seem to occur that much.

Man Placebo, u really dont like Jamesia all that much do u??

Harnu just recently posted a topic that related to that big "Conspiracy" posted earlier in another post. I have always had hope that one day, a conspiracy would actually be true, but this is not one of those. After reviewing the website that Harnu gave a link to, I must say its ALL A BIG LIE!! I looked at the picture of the so-called 'Ark II' and this conspiracy theorist did a HORRIBLE JOB OF FAKING THE PICTURE!! webpage The graphics resemble Red Alert Graphics!! Its practically 2D!!

Alright, that is it! Im tired of the 1985 campaign mission "Guardian". I got through it fine untill i reached Dourdan. THe first thing that went wrong was the drivers for the convoy got out of their vehicles AND WALKED OFF!!! WHAT IS THIS SHIT!? I cried, but i decided to put my soldiers in as drivers and i headed off. When I was just past La Trinite, I noticed a bug.what hapensin is when going downhill, your vehicle acts as if it going up a 90 degree angle, but when going up a hill, its like falling off a ledge! ANd that was okay, UNTILL IT FLIPPED THE TRUCKS IN THE CONVOY!! I got the radio that said i screwed up the mission, even though i could easly flip the trucks back onto their wheels. How do i get around this??? It is really pissing me off!!!

Cool, I always wondered how they did that, Thanks Chronicle!!

And how exactly did you get one to appear in the editor? I would like to know.

I never fininshed the missions for the campaign. I was stuck on the mission Hostages for awhile, finally freed the hosties, went to attack the base, but my stupid AI buddies with the AKs wouldnt engage unless I was about 100m away from those soviets who were near the flag pole. And by the time I got that close, the russians saw me and the BMP blew me up... Things like that kinda discourage me from trying to beat the campaign.

Talking about endurance, it took me two 73mm SABOT rounds from a BMP to down a Mi-24. Even then, the Heli didn't even explode, it lost power and crashed, if the AI pilot woulda been smart enough, he would have AUTO ROTATED. You can Auto Rotate when you lose power by pressing Z, I think its Z anyways...

Â Yes, I will repeat what I said The Hind is like my house.<span id='postcolor'> Nice house man. Anyways, I would prefer the Apache in real life, but in OFP, the Hind is a far surpierior aircraft. Not only can it cary 8 infantry into battle, its is far better armour and its engine dosn't quit out as much as the apache's does when being fired apon. Not only that, I have seen a hind in the game survive 3 stinger hits and keep going, while the apache is toast in only one or two shots.

WOW thats one bad-ass looking gun!! It remindes me of the assault rifle from Halo.

Hmm, just noticed this topic. I like the code </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler [""hit"", {this setdammage 0}];this addeventhandler [""dammaged"", {this setdammage 0}]<span id='postcolor'> but it dosn't work. when you put it in the units init field you get an error saying unknown operator hit is anyone else getting this?
