Hello all.  I am trying to come up with some scripts that will form the basis for an rts mission. The idea is that I am trying to make the building blocks with which a simple rts can be made and then if you want to turn it into a mod or make it more interesting that's up to you. The premise is I use a trigger on or near a building which will operate as a factory. The trigger will then activate a script that uses AddAction for each vehicle tat is  made available in the script. This will then go to a script which will wait a little bit while displaying the words "Building (WHATEVER HERE)" and then uses CreateVehicle( I can't remember the names of the commands just now) to insert WHATEVER. Because you can't enter a vehicle that has been made using CreateVehicle I had to add to the script a MoveInCommander, or MoveInDriver to make the vehicle available. Trouble is I don't want to be lumped into a tank every time I construct one, you might be fighting or something. I need someone to give me an idea as to how I might remove the player from the tank, or perhaps you have another solution... Another thing that's bothering me is that I can't get rid of the action once it has been "AddAction"ed. If you use remove action you can only remove the action added in a specific order. I could solve this if it were possible to set up variables. In bascom I would set a variable 'A' and simply add or subtract to it but here I don't know if this can be done. Anyone who helps out in anyway will be given joint ( I can't think of the word so I'll use...) 'blame' for the scripts and will be the first to receive copies of them before they get bunged up on some site somewhere.

This, I think, is possibly the biggest failing of the mission editor. I mean I can learn scripting and all the other crap but it takes so long to put together a mission which involves placing builings and fences and stuff cause they won't auto-align. Now if you had another class, y'know like objects/camera/ammo etc... you could call it fences and let the editor work it out. I'm sure bis could manage this in an update or something.

What the hell? Why denoir, why? What was wrong with that joke? Oh yeah. Sorry I forgot. That was a bit heartless though, I mean, the poor guy's thread got closed cause of me and my stepmothers traademark dodgy joke.

Sorry, I was going more for comedy than actual plea. I mean that was one shit joke.

Aaaaaaaaaaargh! Ok you want bad jokes, well you asked for it. Here comes the duck joke. A duck walked into a chemist. The chemist said: "Can I help you?" The duck replied:" I'd like some lip balm please." When the chemist asked"How would you like to pay?" The duck simply replied" Oh just put it on my bill."

Maybe you need to re-calibrate or something?

Decent collision detection and no bouncing jeeps, or bouncing tanks, or bouncing planes etc...

Also wouldn't it make sense to at least give torches(flashlight) to resistance? I mean how many poor little islands can afford image intensifiers?

I think we're on the same wavelength here. I have to go now, see ya moaning.

Of the official weapos te G36, I think, outperforms the rest. However I prefer MDX's SA-80. It's really quite good. Although I do miss the burts fire, quite useful over distance since you get a slightly better chance of hitting. Of course at long range one shot is more accurate. But then you want sniper.

So you believe everything you see on the news? Do you know anything about Islam? You believe Islam is a suicide religion because these people do and say it? From what I have heard Islam is not suppost to be like that. People use it as an excuse. If you only get that from the media then it might be wrong. I have heard muslims say it is a peaceful religion.<span id='postcolor'> Oh dear... So how come this woman becomes a hero because she was so happy foe her son to go off and murder innocent civilians? Of course muslims say it is a peaceful religion, christians say there is nothing more sacred than human life and yet you still had the crusades etc... "People use it as an excuse." Sorry missed that bit. This is what I've been saying for years. People have always used religion for personal gains. It was used in russia to keep the people under control and it has been the 'reason' for countless wars.

I can see resistance being the start of a large increase in the amount of russian gear being made. I mean there is so much 'west' stuff and I know there are a lot of 'east' stuff now but you can only retexture an AK so many times.

But you have to expect such things from people under the circumstances such as in the Islrael/Palestine conflict.

Here's a twist you may want to try. Go back and play Prisoner Escape (or is it just "Escape"?). Anyway, I tried this and it was fun. After you're transported via Hind to the second location try this. As the Spetznatz guy is leading you away from the helo, let him get several meters ahead. But do not walk past the helo, stop at the tail rotor. Wait (timing is critical here) for the rotors to nearly stop, then sprint along the left side of the helo, opposite the troops standing around waiting for you to try something. Go to the cockpit and get in as pilot. Right now you are immune to smll arms fire because the cockpit is bullet proof. Start the engine, then select Manual Fire. A couple of rockets fired immediatley will take out the soldiers in front of you. Then lift off and have a blast blowing everyone away! Capture me will you?!? When you're out of ammo, head out over the ocean and turn north. The game will end normally after you get far enough. If you don't turn out over the ocean you'll probably be shot down.<span id='postcolor'> Only problem here is( and I'm assuming this is the 1985 campaign mission) that if you kill anyone, when you get to our people they shoot you. This is cause you start off classed as 'East' and get labeled a team killer. Once you're 'West' again you're still a team killer and your boys try to kill you. What I do is hop in the BMP and use all the evasive manuevers I can think of. Easiest to simply use as much cover as you can.

But seeing as how they hate each other it probably is too late to stop it. Rather sad I think. But of course you are not affected by this so of course you would say that.<span id='postcolor'> Eh? How am I wrong. This is facts. Islam say's you go to heaven if you martyr yourself and many people are too narrow minded to appreciate that for Muslims this is ok.

Ofp only handles 256 Mb of ram so not really any point. Past that only graphics cards make a difference.

Kegety's Hawk and Mad Dog X's SA-80 and British Army addons. They're amazing. The only gripe is that KEG's Hawk tends to spin a lot and has very sharp handling. A-10 takes half an hour to turn but with Hawk it's more like half a msecond.

It simply amazes me that in this day and age, where people are(reasonably) educated and have a greater understanding of the world and yet the majority are unable to look at things objectively. To the Al-Qaeda geezers and the palestinians it is honourable to kill yourself and take others with you simply because that is their religion. Many people simply don't understand this very simple concept. God, I hate religion.

Also visit official discussion forum for DynamicCTF at www.planetofwar.com!<span id='postcolor'> Yeah the main problem is I can't play online cause I don't have internet at home. Also downloads are limited to floppy size. I have file splitter but the number of disks I have is limited since these computers seem to corrupt my disks. Anyway you missed the point, I want to make the basics of rts available to anyone for mainly sp use. I don't really find that many other peoples missions very good(personal taste I don't mean they're bad or anything). I'm still trying to get an idea of how to create a dynamic variable for RU's. Ideas still welcome but I'm slowing work due to exams.
