    Jagged Alliance 2, as another example.

    The conversation is drifting a bit offtopic, but anyway:

    Violence in a form or another is no big deal anymore in so called "entertainment" in which you could include computer games as well as movies. Well, OK, GTA3 was banned in Australia because it was possible to do 'sexual violence' in the game. That's only an individual case and not that common.

    You have to remember: being able to do something is not the same as endorsing or fomenting violence. Introducing child units to OFP would add to the immersion, not urge to kill them for fun.

    Please, please, pretty please, edit the aircraft hangar doorway at least 0.5 metres wider so we can fit our Cessnas in it!  mad.gif

    Other than that, I'd love to see a big, enterable villa-like building so I can get going with my mafia-boss mission wink.gif

    Also, making a simple taxi signpost would make me happy, too. I have a mission where it's possible to call a taxi or grab one at a taxi-station. It's the signs I'm missing right now.

    I'm too lazy learning to use O2. All of my energy goes into mission editing right now.  confused.gif

    If you want to hide an existing marker you should set it's type as "Empty":

    "marker1" SetMarkerType "Empty"

    To make it re-appear you set it whatever you want it to be:

    "marker1" SetMarkerType "Flag"

    You can make empty markers in the editor and use the SetMarkerType to make them appear when you want.

    To hide an objective, type:

    objectivename objStatus "HIDDEN"

    The status can be anything of these: "ACTIVE", "FAILED", "DONE","HIDDEN".

    ps. since when has this forum become newbie-hostile? wink.gif

    Dadster<span id='postcolor'>

    Yes indeed, the throttle and pedals work well. I'm a flight sim fanatic (and real life aviation fanatic as well! ) so I have it all. Pedals make a big difference when flying a chopper in OFP. However, in airplanes the rudder has no effect other than nose wheel steering while taxiing.

    RED<span id='postcolor'>

    So you're saying that it's possible to change the pitch? The only thing that comes into mind is using the Drop command to put the object in and set it's orientation.

    Haven't yet played around with Drop that much to find out.

    That must be the most mysterious command in the game wink.gif

    The problem is that no editor-insertable object/command can cast any natural looking light like the one visible in built-in lampposts. If you've tried creating a lamppost and switching it on with the SwitchLight-command you know what I mean. All you get is a white ball with a mist around - nothing to illuminate the surroundings. And, the lightsource of the SwitchLight-command is always at a fixed height of the ground, often misplaced.

    Only the fireplace and flares manage to create true light but is there any lamp or object that doesn't smoke?   confused.gif

    I guess there is a way to create a lit flare inside the lamp-object but the downside is that it'll burn out in seconds. However, if anyone knows a better solution I'm open to suggestions.

    Thanks

    Don't try to change your voice. The speech engine can even recognize my strong "Mika Häkkinen" -like Finnish accent while speaking wow.gif

    Seriously, it can adapt quite well for anyone's voice after a few training sessions.

    Shoot v1.6 has just come out. KingBeast, I'm not sure if it'll fix your problem but at least the occasional hanging of the program has been fixed. Now it has a full support for localized keyboard layouts as well.

    Yes, every script causes more bandwidth usage in MP. However the script above is executed only once per second, and I think you can get along fine by executing it once per two or three seconds as well. It doesn't affect that much.

    edit:

    Actually, I get that back confused.gif. In MP the same script is always executed in every machine. It doesn't lag the net traffic but naturally it loads the CPU. However, nearly every mission has lots of scripts like this.

    If the shadow isn't a problem then you can replace the "WeaponHolder" with "AmmoCrate" or whatever the correct name for the object is, you have to look it up yourself.

    That way you can even put ammo/weapons into it in Resistance.

    OK got it working. The ammo bag casts no shadows so this script works well except in multistory buildings and vehicles where the bag can be seen below the soldier.

    This is what you need to do. First you make a soldier called "ammoMan". Then you have to make 2 script files:

    weaponholder.sqs

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

    xpos = getpos ammoMan select 0

    ypos = getpos ammoMan select 1

    zpos = getpos ammoMan select 2

    weapon = "WeaponHolder" createVehicle [xpos,ypos,zpos - 0.2]

    weapon addMagazineCargo ["HandGrenade",10]

    <span id='postcolor'>

    trigfollow.sqs

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

    #update

    weapon setPos [getpos ammoMan select 0, getpos ammoMan select 1, (getpos ammoMan select 2) - 0.2]

    ~1

    goto "update"

    <span id='postcolor'>

    Then all you have to do is execute both scripts in the init field of ammoMan: [] exec "weaponholder.sqs"; [] exec "trigfollow.sqs"

    Now you have a soldier-following ammo bag buried 20cm below the ground which you can use. The drawback is that you can't put any ammo back into the bag, you can only take from it.

    I want him to have his own ammo, and some more in 'cargo' that he can dish out and somthing the AI leaders can tell people to go to!<span id='postcolor'>

    You can simulate nearly anything by making a script.

    It's possible to make an invisible weapon holder which can be easily scripted to follow a soldier. The only problem is that you can actually see the ammo floating around the soldier.

    I'll try some scripting if I can come up with something. I'll post my findings here.

    You're right. But I'm a bit biased since I'm a music maker myself. If someone asked me a permission to use one of my songs in an OFP mission I'd be honored. However, I'd be pissed if it was done without asking.

    Too bad the music can't be in your mission without the artists permission!
