HALO, how to add it ?

[HALO, how to add it ?]

Camera glitchyness on steerable parachute seems to be fixed on patch 1.03. Still slightly there but nowhere near as bad and very useable now.

[HALO, how to add it ?]

Yeah, it is the default parachute you get when you call "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_getout.sqs".

Last time I used it though it was buggy (camera glitches and is very annoying), but it works.

[UH-60 BlackHawk in Arma 2?]

I was trying to point out that Blackhawk is better looking IMO :) But they are very similar :P

[Interactive barrier ?]

Look up isKindOf (at work sorry) to determine how to make specific units/unit classes interact with it. :)

[UH-60 BlackHawk in Arma 2?]

But it isn't black! :(

[How long have you been working (obsessing) on your current mission?]

I've spent about 12-15 hours on a multiplayer mission. But due to loss of internet for past few weeks I've been learning scripting and making some cool custom things for adding into my mission once I can get back online to test some more.

On the other hand, I have spent past 15 months or so working on a COD4 multiplayer mod, Obscurity. Putting in a lot of time and effort definately pays off in the long run.

So I say take your time, and always aim to make it the best you possibly can :)

Try making your mouse sensitivity higher and turning using your mouse? I have my mouse at max sensitivity (G5) and it takes a bit to turn, but it does turn.

[Addaction for Group Members]

Just a quick thought. Couldn't you just make it so say, the Group Teamleader gets the actions only by giving him a unique name. Then make the DS Staff people always join as that character?

Looked over the script commands and perhaps getPlayerUID may be of use. Can't play around with it as currently not home. Let us know how you go :)

In theory you should be able to get the unique ID's of the players you wish to have commands on, then if a player with a certain UID is present/triggers a script etc, give him set actions. I am no programmer though, so please correct me if I am leading people down the wrong path.

I guess it depends on whether it is unique per serial or unique per session.

[What program are you using...]

I use notepad++ for script writing (love this program).

There is a plugin somewhere for notepad++ for sqs and sqf format highlighting and stuff. It really is a great program when it comes to modding games.

Ah ok, nice to know...thanks for that :)

Either way, from what I am reading I think ZuppR has the information he is after. Let us know how it goes :)

[createVehicle problem in multiplayer.]

Yes, what Junker has posted should work. It should make the script only run on the server, and not run again everytime a client connects. (From what has been explained to me :P)

? (Not(Isserver)) : Exit (sqs, I think you can use ! instead of Not if you wanted)

if (!isServer) exitWith {} (sqf)

[HALO, how to add it ?]

With what I am doing, yes sometimes. I thought it was because of the fact my guy launched up a bit when ejecting (so helicopter propellor got him) or perhaps the wings clip me when moving fast. But yes, deaths do occur, though rare.

[Chopper, purple smoke.. landing.]

Nice, that could come in handy someday soon. Thanks Rocket :)

[Troops movement]

Jakerod is correct (Macgyver FTW). Create a set of waypoints that meet back at the start, eg a loop or something, with the final waypoint being cycle. A cycle waypoint will make the troops continue on to the next closest waypoint, and if that is the start waypoint you will have a continuous patrol.

Well I've narrowed the crazy chute problem to the sleep 0.001 in the parachute_init file. 0.001 is the smoothest it gets unfortunately. I cannot think of way to fix it's stuttering. I also noticed that during the parachute tutorial it slightly stutters :(

[Search Lights]

Would be nice if you could share the problem and the fix for us all to learn :)

[HALO, how to add it ?]

Yeah I haven't had much luck with it yet, but have not had much of chance to work on it much either :P

Currently my guy ejects from a moving plane, does his freefall, and once I activate the open chute, it flicks about like crazy.

I used the teleport/halo jump in Domination whilst playing online I believe, and I think I did notice some minor flicker on my second jump, but nowhere near as crazy as I'm seeing it during what I have scripted.

I have considered adding some velocity to the setVelocity part of the code to try and make it match the vehicle I am exiting, but I am no programmer, so it will definately take some time for me to work out. Although considering that the freefall part of the jump works fine, I don't think it is a velocity issue.

[More ArmA II than COD servers!]

COD 4 is still running strong, I don't see Arma 2 getting anywhere near it. They are both great games though :)

[HALO, how to add it ?]

Perhaps, but it seems fine until I select open parachute, then it just goes spastic. I'll experiment more when I can and if I have any success will let you know :)

[HALO, how to add it ?]

As per the camera shaking problem mentioned above, does anybody have a fix or answer as to why the camera goes spaz once the parachute is opened?
