    Invisible inside buildings

    Your problem seems to be the LOD setting. At your current setting the building never shows the most detailed LOD, not even at close distances. Try setting your object LOD slider all the way to the right in the preferences.

    Have you tried "helicopter"?

I wonder how that sentence looks like taken out of the context. Sounds a bit like a slogan for Microsoft products Anyway, I tried using deleteVehicle on waypoints, too, and it never crashed.

    Bye bye nuclear non-proliferation

    Currently US is the last nation in the world to have any right telling other nations to scrap their nuclear/weapons of mass destruction -programs! Not soon from now Arab countries will not be the only nations to despise USA.

    Idea for mp mission

    More than zombies , I'd like to see an "Escape from New York" type of mission, zombies replaced by muggers & other criminals. But nevertheless, civilian missions with weapons being very scarce but having an option to buy them is generally a good idea. Actually I've had this eternally unfinished project quite similar to bn880's Working Mission where some of these things are actually implemented. The setup is an anarchic Nogovo, very dark and hostile environment. Earn money by taxi driving (not as safe as in bn880's mission ), stealing & selling cars or signing assassination contracts. Buy vehicles and weapons. Avoid competing henchmen and try to survive. It's not that far from being finished, but it will take some time to polish it up.

EDIT: In case you're interested I recently made a dynamic AI bus driver & passenger script which creates that nice and lively atmosphere. Here is a sample mission of 4 AI buses and 42 passengers. Feel free to use it.

    A knife addon?

    Why bother with knives when you can have.... THIS! Drill addon by Kegetys Â
  10. But I believe it works with APC, TANK, CAR and MOTORCYCLE. Covering every land vehicle as such. But then again, using T80 and T72 will ensure that they'll be East only

    Flare fired

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (InqWiper @ Feb. 17 2003,19:01)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">this addeventhandler ["Fired",{obj=_this select 4;if (obj=="Flare") then {hint "Flare fired!"}}]<span id='postcolor'> I believe "Flare" works for white flares only.

I'd start by doing a looping script of series of getDir's, getPos'es and doMove's so that the tank is given orders to move, say, 3 metres behind the tank a couple of times per second. If I'm not mistaken, if the distance to travel is short enough the AI will use reverse instead of trying to turn the tank first. Of course, if it's done this way, controlling the actual direction of movement would require a bit more advanced scripting if you wish the tank to turn while travelling backwards. Heck, I don't even know if this suggestion would work anyway!

    Flare fired

    I can see two choices: 1) Use fired-eventhandler and check the type of ammo and if the person who fired it belongs to the group. Both the ammo type and the person are carried as a parameter for the script. 2) Use the built-in feature: onFlare.sqs -script which will be executed every time a flare is launched. A clip from the official comref: onFlare.sqs - launched when illuminating shell is lit(since 1.45) Â Â - arguments: [[r, g, b], gunner] - r, g, b is light color
  15. I don't have OFP handy at the moment, but I think that you can work it out by using countType. "Tank" countType list triggerOne I believe that you can use something generic like "Land" or even "Vehicle" instead of "Tank", but you'll have to try it out yourself. If not, make several commands for "Tank", "Car", "APC" and so forth. If there are vehicles of many sides inside the trigger area and you want only eastern units to count, you'll have to do a double check by defining the triggerOne as EAST and PRESENT and then eliminate all non-vehicles by using countType.
