Hello i made a mission where you can call in support from a vehicle, i made this with "addaction ... " in the init line of the vehicle and the vehicles are all able to respawn after beeing destroyed. Now after the vehicle respawn the "addaction ... " is gone, has anybody an idea how to make it possible to recover or to add the action again to the recently respawned vehicle? thx for help!

Hey m8, thats how my script looks like, i used processInitCommands but it is still not working ... Code: _unit = _this select 0; _unit setVehicleInit act1 = this addAction ["Call RACS gunship support","actions\callgs.sqs"]; act2 = _unit addAction ["Call RACS paratroopers","actions\callpa.sqs"]; act3 = _unit addAction ["Call USMC reinforcements","actions\callre.sqs"]; act4 = _unit addAction ["Call RACS CAS - Lasertarget","actions\callca.sqs"]; processInitCommands; ~5 hint "hint: Test."; exit;

Hello m8s, i ve build a mission where you can call CAS and an EVAC if you are close to a vehicle. This is working fine, the problem is now that if you are requesting a CAS the script is running for every player and not only for the one which activated it. My question is now, is there a chance to run the script only for the player who activates it? thx alot for help

Hmmm, i changed something in the on activation line ... [thislist] exec ... to [this select 0] exec ... after that the error was gone but now the artillery only fires once ... I am going to post the screenshot m8! btw did you see my other big prob? http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=100551 :D

Okay i changed the code, now i only still got this error message ... _K doWatch [_X,_Y,5000]; hope you got an idea for this too :D cheers

Well, after clearing one problem here we are with the next. I tried Mr-Murrays artillery example for the enemy from the deitor guide, means, the artillery is activatied by a trigger if BLUFOR is detected by the enemy. so far so good BUT than i got this error message ... _Y = |#|getpos _Z select 1; error getpos, type array, awaiting object and this error ... _K doWatch [_X,_Y,5000]; and here are the scripts ... this is in the trigger ... _Ziel = _this select 0; ;Feuer {[_x,_Ziel] exec "scripts\efire.sqs"} foreach [E1,E2,E3,E4,E5,E6] exit; exit; this one is the efire.sqs _K = _this select 0; _Z = _this select 1; _X = getPos _Z select 0; _Y = getPos _Z select 1; _K doWatch [_X,_Y,5000]; _A =_K Ammo "D30"; ~5 _K fire "D30"; @ _A > _K Ammo "D30"; ~3 _N = nearestObject [_K,"HeatD30"]; _X = _X+((random 80)-40); _Y = _Y+((random 80)-40); _H = "HeliHEmpty" createVehicle [_X,_Y] ; _H say "Ari"; ~1 _N setPos [_X,_Y,0]; "SH_125_HE" createVehicle [_X,_Y,0]; deleteVehicle _H; exit; maybe somebody knows how to fix it ... come on scripting gods thx in advance

deploying units with parachute while running the ACE mod for Arma 1 ... i ve run into this problem after running the ACE mod on my pc after the AI units jumped out of the plane ( using Mando scripts ) they fall down to the ground and die because they have NO chutes. How can i make it possible for these AI units to get a chute??? Is it possible to assign it to em or something else??? thx for help m8s!

i am a Arma 1 only player! :D do you think its possible to add this line to the nodlg script so all the paratroopers got a chute??? _unit addMagazine "ParachuteEast"; so it would look like that ... _group_i = createGroup (_side); _i = 0; { if (_i == 0) then { _unit = _group_i createUnit [_x,[0,0,30], [], 0, "NONE"]; _unit setCombatMode "RED"; _unit setBehaviour "AWARE"; _unit setRank "CORPORAL"; _group_i selectLeader _unit; } else { _unit = _group_i createUnit [_x,[0,0,30], [], 0, "NONE"]; _unit setCombatMode "RED"; _unit setBehaviour "AWARE"; _unit setRank "PRIVATE"; }; if (_side == west) then { _unit addMagazine "ParachuteEast"; }; if (_side == civilian) then { _unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"; _unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"; _unit addMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK"; _unit addWeapon "AK74"; }; _unit setskill 0.5; _unit moveInCargo _plane; do you guys think i can add additinally a chute with this script line to the soldiers??? thx

Hey m8s, i got following problem, i am calling in paratroopers, the heli is coming, the soldiers are starting jumping out BUT they have no parachutes ... so they all die!

problem solved i added _unit = as and now it is working! thx alot

Hey maybe somebody could help me with this ... i placed a vehicle named "as" in the editor and in the init i wrote this addaction ["Test","script.sqs"] so far so good it works but if i wanna remove this action the problem starts. i tried with another script remove.sqs as = vehicle removeAction ["Test"] but it is not working ... any ideas why? thx alot for help!

Okay i tried this with ... act1 = this addaction ["Test","script.sqs"] and to remove i wrote in the script ... as removeaction act1 BUT i got this error message ... 'as |#|removeaction ["Test"] 'error removeaction: typ array, erwartet Zahl i have no clue!

Hello m8s, again i am playing the old Arma 1 mod 6thsense 1.24 and i am bored by the reason that you can not run very far without getting out of breath or black out ... Can somebody give me a helping hand and tell me how to deaktivate this effekt, maybe by deactivating CRDS or what but how to do that? PLZ help. thx alot!

M8 there is a Gau19 gun in the ACE mod, maybe ask em for perm to use it un your kiowa ... btw the M2 looks not as pretty as the M134 did before.

At the moment i am a little bit confused ... is this the same island or map like Safwan? ... or are you working on two projects?

uiuiui can we expect some M60-2000 driving on the weekend too?

... only one thing to say here at Project RACS mod ... awesome m8s really awesome! Unfortunately you now have alot of planes for your mod, but maybe you like to have one more ... i found a OV-10 Bronco maybe you can include it too? http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=addons&id=786 Keep up your great work, we love it!

That would be awesome m8!
