Well, I´ve done a workaround for the helolift and now it allows me to lift stuff with the V22. Here it is, as it failed because the V22 don´t report the altitude right until it is flyting at around 70 meters. So I just modified a couple of variables adding an if in case it is the V22. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> // by Xeno private ["_minAlt","_maxAlt","_id","_menu_lift_shown","_nearest","_nearest_pos","_npos","_nx","_ny","_p_x","_p_y","_p_z","_pos","_posi","_possible_types","_px","_py","_release_id","_vehicle"]; if (!X_Client) exitWith {}; _vehicle = _this select 0; Vehicle_Attached = false; Vehicle_Released = false; _menu_lift_shown = false; _nearest = objNull; _id = -1; _minAlt = 2.5; _maxAlt = 10; sleep 10.123; _possible_types = ( switch (_vehicle) do { case HR0: {d_helilift1_types}; case HR1: {d_helilift1_types}; case HR2: {d_helilift2_types}; case HR3: {d_helilift3_types}; case HR5: {d_helilift1_types}; } ); //to handle V22 if ((typeOf _vehicle) in ["GNT_V22"]) then { _minAlt = -1; _maxAlt = 1; } else { _minAlt = 2.5; _maxAlt = 10; }; while {(alive _vehicle) && (alive player) && player_is_driver} do { if ((driver _vehicle) == player) then { _pos = getPos _vehicle; if (!Vehicle_Attached && (_pos select 2 > _minAlt) && (_pos select 2 < _maxAlt)) then { _nearest = objNull; _nobjects = nearestObjects [_vehicle, ["LandVehicle","Air"],20]; if (count _nobjects > 0) then { _dummy = _nobjects select 0; if (_dummy == _vehicle) then { if (count _nobjects > 1) then { _nearest = _nobjects select 1; }; } else { _nearest = _dummy; }; }; sleep 0.1; if (!(isNull _nearest) && !(_nearest in vehicle_attached_list) && ((typeof _nearest) in _possible_types)) then { _nearest_pos = getPos _nearest; _nx = _nearest_pos select 0;_ny = _nearest_pos select 1;_px = _pos select 0;_py = _pos select 1; if ((_px <= _nx + 6 && _px >= _nx - 6) && (_py <= _ny + 6 && _py >= _ny - 6)) then { if (!_menu_lift_shown) then { _id = _vehicle addAction ["Lift vehicle", "x_scripts\x_heli_action.sqf"]; _menu_lift_shown = true; }; } else { _nearest = objNull; if (_menu_lift_shown) then { _vehicle removeAction _id; _menu_lift_shown = false; }; }; }; } else { if (_menu_lift_shown) then { _vehicle removeAction _id; _menu_lift_shown = false; }; sleep 0.1; if (isNull _nearest) then { Vehicle_Attached = false; Vehicle_Released = false; } else { if (Vehicle_Attached) then { _release_id = _vehicle addAction ["Release vehicle", "x_scripts\x_heli_release.sqf"]; (driver _vehicle) vehicleChat "Vehicle attached to chopper"; vehicle_attached_list = vehicle_attached_list + [_nearest]; switch (_nearest) do { case MRR1: { mr1_in_air=true;publicVariable "mr1_in_air"; mr1_lift_chopper = _vehicle; publicVariable "mr1_lift_chopper"; }; case MRR2: { mr2_in_air=true;publicVariable "mr2_in_air"; mr2_lift_chopper = _vehicle; publicVariable "mr2_lift_chopper"; }; }; while {!Vehicle_Released && player_is_driver && alive _vehicle && alive _nearest && alive player} do { sleep 0.05;_posi = position _vehicle;_p_x = _posi select 0;_p_y = _posi select 1; //_p_z = _posi select 2; //to handle V22 if ((typeOf _vehicle) in ["GNT_V22"]) then { _p_z = 12; } else { _p_z = _posi select 2; }; if (_p_z > 11) then {_nearest setPos (_vehicle modelToWorld [0,0,-11]);} else { if (_p_z < 11 && !surfaceIsWater [_p_x, _p_y]) then {_nearest setPos [_p_x, _p_y, 0]};}; _nearest setVelocity velocity _vehicle;_nearest setDir direction _vehicle;_nearest setVectorUp vectorUp _vehicle; }; _nearest engineOn false; Vehicle_Attached = false; Vehicle_Released = false; switch (_nearest) do { case MRR1: { mr1_in_air = false; publicVariable "mr1_in_air"; mr1_lift_chopper = objNull; publicVariable "mr1_lift_chopper"; }; case MRR2: { mr2_in_air = false; publicVariable "mr2_in_air"; mr2_lift_chopper = objNull; publicVariable "mr2_lift_chopper"; }; }; vehicle_attached_list = vehicle_attached_list - [_nearest]; if (!alive _vehicle) then { _vehicle removeAction _release_id; } else { (driver _vehicle) vehicleChat "Vehicle released"; }; if (!(_nearest isKindOf "StaticWeapon") && (position _nearest) select 2 < 200) then { waitUntil {(position _nearest) select 2 < 10}; }; _npos = position _nearest; _nearest setPos [_npos select 0, _npos select 1, 0]; _nearest setVelocity [0,0,0]; sleep 1.012; }; }; }; }; sleep 0.51; }; if (!(alive _vehicle) || !(alive player)) then { player_is_driver = false; _vehicle removeAction vec_id; }; if (true) exitWith {}; Maybe somebody find it useful.

Good job."; }; I just finished the two versions for our dedi server, one in Schmalfelden and the other one in Saharani, west side only, both using mando scripts, I also added the SPON Rangefinder, and added the mortar operator that deploy mortars, the AA Operator that deploys AA Tripod and the AT Gunner deploys AT Tripods. i would put them to download, but I think it is pointless since they need around 4GB in addons to run  I used the RHS Troops, Tanks, Hind, weapons from Aimpoint, peloton, helenic mod, RH handguns, some piranha reskins, Apaches and chinooks from Map Air, tracers, vilas, ebusocom units, landrovers, v22, and probably some more that I don´t remember now. Â

V22 as lift chopper should be fine. Just add the object name (HRX) to _possible_types in x_helilift.sqf Xeno I did that, but I think it is not a problem with the script, it is a problem with the V22. I just replace in the editor one of the three choopers for an V22 and it doesn't lift vehicles, but the script is run since I can drop ammo crates from the V22, so if the ammo crates script it's been executed means that the lift vehicle has been executed too. I have also noticed that in the V22 I can drop ammo crates while flying  so it might has something to do with the V22 not reporting right if it is flying or not  Edit--- I read the V22 readme and they list this bug: - Altitude sometimes reads zero (because of Roadway LOD) So I think that is the problem, since the helolift only works if the choppers is between 2.5 and 10 meters. I might try to modify the helolift script adding a case if it is the V22 it doesn't check the altitude, only the distance to the ground vehicles, but that's maybe is too much for my skills

Thanks. Well, I think now I know where he creates all this HR MR etc variables and I understand everything better. I still have the problem with the v22 osprey, but I think it has something to do with the plane, because if I change it for a UH60 everything works. It is a pitty, because the V22 is cool, but if you cannot transport the MR it becomes almost useless in a game, just to transport troops. I´ll look at the script, maybe the scripts is only for helos and maybe the V22 is catalog as a plane. I don´t know. One more thing, I don´t know if it is a bug or something, but some times when I use the halo jump I got locked and hit by a missile And some other time in the moment that we gain altitude in the airport we got locked and shot down. I assume that it is that shilka using mando missiles, but targetting parachutes is not funny

Thank you very much! Â Now that works OK. But I still got a small problem. I have added a couple of choppers more, an osprey and a chinnook, and a predator drone. I kept the names as chxx where xx is the number, However the three first choppers can drop ammo and lift vehicles, the fourth is the one for wrecks, and I am finding dificult to add the same abilities to the other three added by me. I have manage to add the drop ammo to the osprey by giving it the name ch0 and extending the loop in x_playersetup(line 25) to 0 to 3, so the first four choppers, from 0 to 3 have the action to drop crates, but the osprey doesn't lift vehicles. I don't get where tha HR comes from and where is it used. The way I've done is like this In the init I add the respawn for choppers and now it looks like this <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> [ch0,240,0,false] spawn x_helirespawn;//V22 osprey [ch1,240,1,true] spawn x_helirespawn;//default uh60 [ch2,240,2,true] spawn x_helirespawn;/default uh60 [ch3,240,3,false] spawn x_helirespawn;/default uh60 [ch4,240,4,false] spawn x_helirespawn;//wreck uh60 [ch5,240,5,false] spawn x_helirespawn;//chinook [ch6,240,6,false] spawn x_helirespawn;//predator the predator is ok with only that(and adding all the stuff for mando missiles and bombs), so now all new helos and planes respawn fine. Now in the x_playersetup is where I get lost <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> for "_xx" from 0 to 3 do { call compile format [" if (!(isNil ""HR%1"")) then { HR%1 addeventhandler [""getin"", {_this execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkhelipilot.sqf"";}]; HR%1 addeventhandler [""getout"", {_this execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkhelipilotout.sqf"";}]; }; ""HR%1"" addPublicVariableEventHandler { HR%1 addeventhandler [""getin"", {_this execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkhelipilot.sqf"";}]; HR%1 addeventhandler [""getout"", {_this execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkhelipilotout.sqf"";}]; }; ", _xx]; }; I changed the 1 to 0 in the for loop and the osprey has now the action to drop crates, but no to lift vehicles, but I looked into x_checkhelipilot and it should also lift vehicles. I followed the code to x_helilift and add a default option in the switch statment for other that are not HR1,2 or 3 have a lifttypes array. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _possible_types = ( switch (_vehicle) do { case HR1: {d_helilift1_types}; case HR2: {d_helilift2_types}; case HR3: {d_helilift3_types}; default {d_helilift1_types}; } ); I suppose that here is where I'm missing something or I'm not doing something ok, but I'm lost with that HR1, HR2 and HR3 that I don't know where it comes from. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

yeah, that's what I thought, but I have to be missing something and I cannot find what....

Hi. I'm trying to modify the mission to use some of our dedi server addons, and to that point that is ok. However, we have the L16A2 mortar addon and I have tried to use it with moderate success. I have replicated the MG nest scripts to accomodate them for the mortar, having the granadier now the ability to deploy mortars and remove them. Everything is ok, I can deploy the mortar and remove it, but if I die I lose the ability. Can somebody tell me what I am missing? I think I've gone through all the scripts, and I think I have copy the mortar modification along in any scripts that referenced the mg nest, but I still can get the ability back after respawn. Let me explain what I've done(using latest version with mando missiles and bombs) In the init.sqf file I have added this bit just after the mg nest(around line 198) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">// if you want to use the mortars for granadiers d_with_mortar = true; // can build mortar d_mg_mortarOp = ( switch (d_own_side) do { case "RACS": {["SoldierGG"]}; case "EAST": {["SoldierEG"]}; case "WEST": {["SoldierWG"]}; } ); if (d_with_mortar) then { d_mg_mortar = ( switch (d_own_side) do { case "RACS": {"llw_l16"}; case "EAST": {"llw_l16"}; case "WEST": {"llw_l16"}; } ); }; I have created two new script copiying the mg nests ones first, to deploy the mortar, called x_mortarDep.sqf(use the x to keep everything tidy) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> private ["_dir_to_set","_m_name","_marker"]; if (count d_mortar_pos > 0) exitWith { Server globalChat "You have already deployed a mortar.

Hi Great addon, but when used in a dedicated server this message comes up <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> Error in expression <_wep3 = _deadcarg select 2> Error position: <select 2> Error Zero divisor and most of the weapons pilons have no weapons. In the arma rpt that message is repeated constantly changing the numbers.

I got the same message(with an ATI card). It is not the first time it happends to me, and it seems to be a problem with ATI cards processing textures with dimensions that are not power of 2. It is ok to have a texture of 1024*1024 or 2048*2048 but it crashes if the texture has values like 1023*1023 or 2040*2040.

Hi, since I updated to version 1.3, all missions I made using version 1.2 won't work. Any way of fixing this??

Thank you very much. Everything is far more clear now. I also received very interesting replies about ammo boxes and music in this topic in armaholic, just in case somebody look for something similar. http://www.armaholic.com/forums.....#bottom

Well, we don't have the problem of the missing addons. We are a small group of people, always the same, in a password protected server and we have an standard of addons that everyone has installed. That's why I want to have different ammo boxes, to ease the work of those of us who make missions. Using scripts is being ok. But now, after patch 1.14 we are gonna update our addon standard, updating some existing addons, adding some new addons, and that's why I want to create this ones, to simplify things. At this point I have a load of script for ammo boxes, so many that some of them are repeated, and I have to go through them everytime I want to use them, because only the name doesn't tell me anything As I told before, we have not problem with people disconected because of missing addons, since all of us have the same, that's why I want to have the custom ammo boxes, custom groups and custom music all added as addons, since everyone will download it once and forget. I'll take a look at those pbos to see what I can get of them. Thanks.

Hi, I'm new in addon making . I do not really know where to start from. I have taken a look at diferent addons to see how are they structured and get a rough idea of how it might be done. Let's start from the begining, we have a dedicated server, and we use a lot of addons on it. The thing is that we have loads of different weapons from the addons, and when it comes to missions making, we have to be creating scritps for ammo boxes, because we don't use all the weapons at once, just the ones that fits for the mission or the mission author like. So my idea is to create an addon which add all those scripts to the game editor as ammo boxes, so instead having to use and edit the scritps for each mission we could have a bunch of custom mixed ammo crates on the editor, simplifiying everything. So my first question is how to add a custom ammo box to the editor menu. Because the addon that i've been looking at as examples are weapons addons, and they have all the entries for each weapon and I get a little bit confused of what is actually needed to add only for the ammo boxes. The second idea is to make custom groups using the units and the vehicles from addons. I mean, create a group which appears in the editor under BLUEFOR, OPFOR or Independent using for example the technicals from QG with insugents from the WP addon, o desert vehicles from McNools vechicles pack with desert soldiers from any other addon. There are many addons which add their own groups, but other doesn't, so I would like to have them ready to use in the editor. Would it be to complex to do? I'm also not too pretty sure how dependencies work, but I assume that might be somehow like in the missions that depends on addons, isn't it? And the third idea is about adding music as an addon. I mean, adding 10 or 20 songs that can be used by the mission editor for intros and outros, and having them as an addon the mission size should be normal, because everytime we create a mission with music, it grows to one or two Mb. So I would like to have all the songs as an addon so the mission size is not affected by the inclusion of music. And as we have music in the addon, would it be possible to play that music as a MP3 player when the player is a in a vehicle? I thing this last bit might be much more dificult, but I still have it in mind. So if somebody could point me to the right direction, tell me what tutorials should I read or could give me some examples that would help me to create this three addons I would be very grateful. Because the problem is that I don't know how to start. Thanks in advance. Zorasht

The thing is that the chopper has pilot and gunner, I only want to add cargo. The lines I put above work ok as soon as I´m by myself or with AIs, but when everyone is a human player, some of them just don´t get loaded into the chopper, and many of them got the headbug, even though I sleep for half second just to avoid that.

Hi. I have a small problem that is spoiling my whole mission I had two groups of six men each. I want them to start inside an helicopter, both inside the same helicopter.(a chinnok from map air) The helicopter has a waypoint to unload the passengers at the destination point, and the groups have a synchronized waypoint there to get out. The missions is for multiplayer, so with the AI disable(using revive script too), each team leader has on the init line <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">group1 = group this; group2 = group this; I have a small script to load the soldiers into the chopper at mission start <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _Helo1 = _this select 0; _Helo2 = _this select 1; _Group1 = _this select 2; _Group2 = _this select 3; {_x moveInCargo _Helo1; sleep 0.50} foreach units _Group1; {_x moveInCargo _Helo2; sleep 0.50} foreach units _Group2; As you can see this script was meant for two helos that I used in a previous missions. The only thing I do is in the arguments enter twice the name of the helo, so everybody got loaded on the same helo. Well, it doesn't work now. Of course it works perfectly when I'm testing it by my own, when we play it online it loads on the helo a random number of people, left other people on the ground, and some of them got the headbug :dunno: I run the script inside my intro file, I first put a black screen with the mission tittle so nobody can see anything to allow enough time to get loaded in the helo, and after that line I run the script <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">nil = [TransHelo, TransHelo, group1, group2] execVM "GetInHelo.sqf"; and I run the intro in the init line of a static unit on the map. Any one has an idea of what is this happening? Is there an easy way of loading two groups into an helo at mission start? Does it matters that the groups are not full? Thanks in advance.

Hi, First off, thanks for this great mission. I have taken the freedom to modify it in order to use most of the addons of our dedicated server. I hope you don't mind. I'm also working in adapting the mission for Dry south saharani, Saltbeach and Sakakah islands. The problem is that I am using too many addons, so I don't think if it would be worthy to make them available to dowload if you need 500MB in addons to play  However I found a few problems that maybe you can help me to fix. Sometimes, when a player dies, he doesn't get the info and self actions added again, and I don't know why. It seems to happend when many players die at once, like in a helo crash or a RPG hitting the 4x4 where they are. Would preprocess some functions solve this? And the other one, which is very weird as the script looks perfectly OK, is the personal parajump. It works OK as soon as the teamrank is enough, but it the teamrank isn't enough and there is no currently any missions in progress, the parajump seems to work, you click, you are in the air, but when you are about 20 meters from the ground is like the chute disappear and you crash-land diying inevitabily. But if the teamrank is enough it doesn't happend, it works ok, and I have been looking throughout of the scripts and I don't see the relationship between chute disappearing and teamrank... Â
