D'oh!

What about bots for those of us who can't get online. Or am I being stupid?

Ha. Mines best. Took the London flag and transposed the Welsh, Scottish and Irish into the spare gaps. Shows how my family is spread ight across the British Isles. Though I'm proud to be English I'm one of the few people in London that can say they are fully British. At least in terms of blood, if you know what I mean.

Where can we find UnPBO? I got dePBO and it's complete shite! I used it a few times but it gives me files full of gobledegook!

Â Being global, it can be used in the mining script to remove that exact action. If you are making a single player game, when you create a mining vehicle, you can add the action to the vehicle instead of the person, and anytime the player walks near the vehicle, the action will appear on his action menu, just as the 'get in' action will, and will be automatically removed when the player walks away from the vehicle. If you are making MP game out of this, giving the commands to the vehicle might not work properly, that is some problems I am having right now with some scripting. As far as resources for a particular vehicle, I would name each vehicle, and in the init.sqs, I would initialize variables for each mining vehicle such as: Â MineTruck1Cargo, MineTruck2Cargo, etc.. Â Â then when a particular trucks action for mining was invoked, and the truck was in a resource area, you could run a script that starts to add to the value of 'MineTruck#Cargo' at perhaps a couple units a second, and loop until it's value is 100, then the vehicle's cargo would be at 100% in 50 seconds. Hope this helps..<span id='postcolor'> Good Gravy! I love you. You just solved what was probably the biggest problem I have had with these damn scripts. What do you reckon to handling the resource values. I think I know how to make it display the amount you have but I'm not quite sure how to use the global variables in order to maintain a value. If I figure out how to do this then adding to it using actmining will be childs play.

Isn't anyone interested in helping out? All I nedd is a clue as to how this damn coding language likes to operate and I'm away. Some ideas wouldn't go amiss neither.

That's what I thought. Those things are ugly.

What would have surprised everyone is if it had been, well you know. They wouldn't expected that.

I find it amusing that Holland was kept out by Ireland. Good luck to them but I would have said that Holland would have been a good choice to win it had they got in.

Cheers. I'll take this baby apart when I get home.

Mmm, good point. Will check in with them lot.

Yeah I guess. Trouble is such things aren't mentioned in the scripting reference( which is both useful and pants at the same time). I'm hoping someone with experience in scripting ofp might be able to help out a bit. Especially seeing as I've never done any coding before. Only a little so far in Electronics and we weren't programming software, we were programming micro-controllers to make LEDs flash and controlling motors. V. different

Yeah this is exactly it but the problem is that you end up with the command permanently. I need a bit of code or some parameters which mean you only use it next to the truck. Same problem with factories.

The trouble is I don't want to go right into a full RTS. What I want is to simply have the trucks pull up in the area and the player gets out, goes to the back of the truck and gets a 'start mining' command. Then the RUs get credited to your supply. I can't be bothered with the whole going to collect RUs then going back and unloading etc... It's a very simplified RTS. The idea is to male a set of versatile scripts which people can edit as they please. So it would probably become simple to create a proper RTS from what is put together. It's just a framework so to speak.

Beer... and some toast helps.

Is that a photo?

That forum is shite. No one was posting and the only people that went there was the people from this forum that couldn't geton when we couldn't get in. The funny thing is they went on about how they think this forum is crap. Oh how I laughed.

I'm thinking that I would use 5tTrucks as resource collectors. They would be driven into an area which would be covered by a trigger which would have a numerical value attached to it to determine the max amount or RUs in it. Perhaps these resource areas would be recognisable either by putting something like rocks to make it obvious or perhaps using survey teams or something. A little help anyone?(Re:original post)

I think I'd have postcount 6 if it wasn't for the offtopic forum.

This is the same forum that I'm talking about. Crazy or what? R. Gerschwarzenge, don't go getting any ideas. Please?

Do you reckon it'd be worthwhile buying a PCI GeForce 2 MX 32Mb to play ofp on? I saved up and got a PC but it's got on-board graphics which means I have a textureless floor. I can't afford to get a new motherboard and graphics card and seeing as mine doesn't have AGP, but I do have a spare PCI slot doing nothing but gather dust. What do you think people?

Yeah but is the card worth getting. Otherwise I could wait a till August and get a new mainboard and the a month later get an AGP graphics card. The thing is I only really need it for OFP since I'd fail my studies if I picked up any other games worth playing.

Didn't indoor plumbing come before sliced bread?

Tea, hate coffee. Mind you I prefer loafing juice.

I'm using college internet and this site only allows use of netscape communicator. Can't even use explorer unless you have priveleges and students don't (unless you know someone). Can't actually afford internet at home, since we get bumped here in England and not everyone is a middle-class wanker ( despite whatever image gets out).
