Metal Heart, you seem to be a scripting guru, I bet you'll know the most sensible way for me to do this. Â Basically what I would like to do is make it where if any of the three sectiosn of the west bridge are destroyed it'll tick an objective off and if any section of the east bridge is destroyed it'll tick objective two off. How would you go about that? Â I was messing around with it for a while and got to thinking there has got to be a easier way than how I'm trying. Long of the short I keep trying to get the object id with the on map single click and hint example you gave. After that though the triggers and scripts I keep trying out usually result in error message. I'm betting I'm likely making things way more complicated than they should be as well. Â Do you think you could maybe give an example of how you would set that up?

 And people were able to kill people with other weapons besides guns for centuries as well.  Where there is a will there is a way. What makes you think they'll obey the law and not use a gun any way if they are going to rage, or worse a bomb?  You sir are paranoid. I for one don't look over my shoulder in fear that some one is going to shoot me. Though Balschoiw could probably mention a situation that has me looking over my shoulder  lately do to some threats I received. However I don't believe the group of thugs I live by are willing to shoot me they just want to beat the crap out of me for some reason, maybe take my wallet I don't know, they are punks and probably drink too much. Long of the short I don't fear being shot at, there is no reason to. I have more tangible real problems to fear.

Could you give me an example?

 Oh please, are you trying to suggest I'm a suicidal murderer? I haven't even been in a mild scuffle in the past decade. The last time I even struck some one with my fist out of anger I was 12, over half my life ago. As for suicidal, nah.  I speak in jest of espectro but I do find it disturbing that he and you seem to have one track minds when it comes to guns. There is a symptom in psychiatry called projection which is a case where some one "projects" their mental problems onto others. For example when espectro suggest that any one with a gun is going to murder some one or kill them selves he is actually projecting what he believes he himself would do if in possesion of a weapon. That is why in a way I kind of worry about him.  When I see a police officer or a citizen who legaly owns a gun I do not see a distinction, both are perfectly sane individuals who I have no reason to fear. Espectro however believes the individuals are "sick" and dangerous, that they will snap at any moment and harm him. Honestly I could not live life as espectro does, it's irrational and just down right creepy.  Espectro, no one is out to get you and most of all "guns" are not out to get you.  Christ you make it out like a gun is some sort of alien brain leeche that posseses a mans mind forcing him to kill and murder.

 What the hell are you on?    I would agree with you if by "any situation" you mean stuff like taking the trash out, opening a jar or taking a shower or such. If you thought you needed a gun for those situation you would be a bit of a basket case. However if by "any situation" you mean being attacked or raped  then I think it is you who need to see a "scrink". Self defense is a human right and all creatures have the right to defend them selves and no one including you has the right to deprive them of that right.  Lots of things could happen, all three thugs could be shot maybe just two or just one. Perhaps they'll be scared off and flee before a shot is fired. I'll play devils advocate and say that maybe they draw guns and kill you or the gun jams. What ever the case it is still the right of the individual to defend them self and not have to wait for help from the government. Once again it's not the right of the three thugs or you to deprive them of the right to defend them self.  You my friend are irrational. I hate "whats next" type examples that make so sense. "What good is warmth if you have to wear a jacket, what's next you skin your brother alive and make a jacket from him!" I mean come one where the hell do you make the jump from owning a firearm to suicide bombing? That is just as insane as the stupid jacket to keep warm leap to skining a human to keep warm, example I made to mock you. It just does not makes sense.  So these friends of yours that you trust, you wouldn't trust one of them if they owned a gun? That is really sad, infact they do not sound very trust worthy at all. Most my friends do not own guns, however the friends I do keep are decent enough people that If they did own a gun I would still trust them since I know they are not unhinged loons.  To be honest I wouldn't trust you with a gun, it sounds like you have a one track mind. I do thank you for avoiding guns since from what you are saying it does sound like the first thing you would do if you got hold of one would be to murder some one or commit suicide with it. You seems to project this perception with each of your comments.  I don't trust myself in a race car, I'm simply not a good driver I'd probably crash at high speed and kill my self and others. For that reason I do not race cars, the difference between me and you however is that while I don't trust my ability as a race car driver I realize that others are capable of handling them just fine.   I really would like to visit Europe some day. Of course I would leave my gun at home since I know it's illegal to have one in most of Europe, that and of course I don't own any firearms.

Albert I'm not lying. I can see there is no way you'll believe my story so I wont discuss it further. The odds of that happening are so small as to not even be worth contemplating. Please explain how the could not have defended them selves if one of them was armed? It sounds more and more like you have a phobia. Some one mentioned that alchohol cannot not be used as a comparison in this debate. I don't know any one who has ever shot some one or has been shot at with the exception of being a war veteran. On the other hand I've lost friends and family do to drunks.

 The shooter was 23 the drinking age is 21 here. Most states you cannot own a pistol until you are 21, not sure about Virgina however. Using your logic I could also say… It's quite simple: Do you want to be able to drink alchohol? If you do, you must accept the fact that sometimes people use that right to kill other people by driving drunk![/  Driving drunk is not part of your privledge to drink and murder is not part of your right to bear arms.   This is my home I'm not a runner. My family lives here and I have ancestors who have died for this land. it's your right to run but it is not your right to expect others to simply "flee" because that's what your decision is. If every one through out history simply ran away, you my friend would have no land to leave to as the entire world would be under the control of tyrants.

I to was having trouble making a placement script. At the moment the mission is on hold for a bit. I haven't had much time lately so I've been focusing on another mission I was already working on when ever I get the chance. I still plan to finish it some day, hopefully some time in the next month or so.

I remember that, I then blew it up with a 3Kg pile up charge as I was standing 5 meters back in case the rocket missed. Rockets pffft technology is so overrated.

 You are all going to hate me for this and brand me a radical but I have to state this...  The right to bare arms has nothing to do with hunting, entertainment or self defense. The whole idea is that it is a check against government.  When I was in high school we had a holocaust survivor speak to my history class one year (I believe Junior year perhaps sophomore ).  When he was done telling his story there was a half hour allotted to ask him questions. I remember one student asked “why didn’t you fight back or resist?†his response was that the Nazis had instituted absolute gun control in Germany.  He said if he had a gun he would have gone on the run and killed Nazis rather than being interned in a concentration camp. My history teacher interrupted and said “but then you might have been killed and would not be alive todayâ€. The holocaust survivor then said maybe so but he would rather of had control over his own destiny instead of being at the mercy of the government and luck. He stated many times that it was only by luck that he survived the holocaust, there were many times he only survived by being one place back in a line for example.  After hearing that and more from the man I decided from that point on that I would never support the prohibition of firearms from the citizenry. Never trust that your government will act and treat you fair and benignly if they have all the guns and you and your fellows do not.  I know that’s some radical stuff I just said but I truly believe in it. Never for one instant believe that your government, no matter how fair and just it may be now, will not one day turn into a tyranny.  To disarm a nation and put its citizenry at the full mercy of the government do to the acts of criminals is foolish.

Excellent news indeed I'm happy to be a part of CiA :-D So far so good with the neighbors My nickname for them is "children of the deliverence hillbillies". They seem to be all talk so far which is a good thing. That was terrible, but I still think the best was on wendsday when we came to your rescue (you were sniper and got surrounded by a patrol) only to have you gunned down by friendly fire when all was clear. You know what they say third tries a charm, perhaps you won't die a comical death in this wendsdays game.

Please do not close this thread because of what I am about to say. I don’t want to be the one responsible for the lock. However I must ask, in what possible way do you think this thread can possibly head that does not lead to the discussion of gun control? Whenever there is a mass killing where the murderer used a firearm inevitably people who dislike guns will start discussing the implementation of gun control. I have a few questions and points I’d like to add (none of them offensive) but I will not speak them here as I’m sure I’m not allowed to express my opinion because of which side of the issue I take. The rules you seem to have set for this discussion are too slanted and really only allow one view point to be asserted. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I tried the mission out it seems well put together. I died and had to reload my save but I got a game crash and it said something about not able to load variables. One thing you might do is tweak the weapon load outs of the squads a bit, I think the SAS in the prelim raid also used LAWs on the planes and some had M203s. The biggest problem I had with the mission was my blind troops. They seemed to get wasted by enemies that where only 10 meters away yet they could not see them. This is Bohemia Interactives fault however and not yours. Over all I was impressed by the helicopter insertion at the beginning. I know nothing really flashy yet it impressed me because I have a hell of a time ever getting helicopters to move in formation like that.

Thanks James that ones even better. That might be an idea, sort of like the mission Alamo that seems to be a favorite. From what I read it seems they had one machine gun nest set up in front of the Shackleton house... From Britains small wars dot com... I actually am now heavilly leaning towards letting the player place the machine gun nest and trenches by a script and perhaps adding script for placing anti personal mines and that barrel of explosives that they placed on the dock. This would also take the weight off my chest of trying to figure out where mills placed his trenches and mines in reality and could aslo add to the replayibility factor.

Excellent thanks for the link. Â As for the big house I think I know the one you mean, the big blue one that's the farthest to the east? On the Englands small war site it mentions that the sniper was lying on a table on the second floor of Shackelton house, well the blue house seems to be the only two floor house on the point. Â One thing I must mention is that I'm trying to create this as a historically accurate mission, yet it will be open ended. I plan to set it up so that when the mission begins all troops and ships will be in their historical locations. However through your behaviour you can rewrite history. This will be a Chain of Command CE mission and you will take the roll of Lieutenant Keith Mills in command of 22 Royal Marines. So far this mission is in a very embryonic stage. However I have lots of markers placed on the map as place holders to the location of troops and events.

take it is as a compliment it means people are interested in the mod. I'm not a scripting genius but one thing I thought might be cool is if some one could come up with a frosty breath script for infantry. Mostly for cut scenes as I doubt you'd notice in battles and it would be a waste of memory in that scenario.

Thanks for the info this helps alot. Piecing together where everything was located has been a little difficult as most the info I find on the web is nearly identical to one another and doesn't answer the questions I have. Â You wouldn't happen to know which house is Shackleton House by any chance? Â I plan on using one of the civilian models to represent Steve Martin. From what I understand he was taking cover in a ditch by a road during the battle, would this be near the church or was he on King Edwards point? It was Argentine Marines that attacked Grytviken. The Argentine marines do not look dressed for South Georgia in the mod and I'm not sure if the Conscripts are either. Would it be a better idea to use the Ca Cdo troops with the jackets and vest to represent the Argentine Marines on South Georgia? Also any one have some good websites with pictures and possibly some battle maps to suggest? Tommorow I plan to head to my local library and check out some books on the Falklands conflict, my local library is small though and will likely have a limited selection of books on the conflict.

One of the white paneled houses at grid co ordinate Cb39 on South Georgia can be walked through as if it doesn't exist. It's map ID is 24213.

I'm reading and looking at maps and I am infact wrong it is the Guerrico, which is included with the current release. The Bahia Paraiso is the transport that dropped some Argentine marines off to the north, well out of the map area available in the game. *edit* I'll definitely include the sniper, however I may be unable to have him on a table in a upstairs room. I might have to take a historical liberty with that detail. We'll see after I do a walk around tour of the settlement looking for enterable houses.

I'm starting to create a mission based on a certain historical occurence down in South Geogia. However I need a certain ship named the Bahia Paraiso, I don't see it in the groups menu so I guess it's not in the mod. Is there any plans to include it in an update? Â The mission I'm trying to create is based on a fairly famous event. I sort of need the ship, as in the mission there will be two choppers that will ferry Argentine troops from the said ship and onto South Georgia. Also I need it for a mission objective that involves a Carl Gustav. Â Any word? Is there by chance a ship included in the current release that is of the same class that I could use as a place holder for now?

What's wrong with them? I think they are great, is it because they don't use 500,000,000 polygons that you don't like them?

You sir our my hero. That was the problem, I to just removed the editor103.pbo and editorupdate102.pbo from the DTA folder where they should not have been to begin with and now NDS does work. I shall now download this mission and the SAS mission as well.
