Limit grouping units across a map?

[Limit grouping units across a map?]

In the unit's info, when creating/editing them, have you changed them from 'In formation', to 'None'?

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

All I did to the waypoint, was add a '10' to the three fields next to 'timeout', in the waypoint's menu. I'm not sure which one of the fields is the required one, but my approach works.

Give it a go.

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

Tested, works well. Now I have to see what you did.

Splicer, I improved your version by adding a delay to the waypoint where the troops are ejected. A delay of 10 works very well - it allows the heli to stop and level out before forcing the troops out.

[UAV Rapidly decends and crashes.]

Try setting the flyinheight command in the 'On Act' field of each waypoint.

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

Splicer, I'd still like to see your example, so I can see what I'm doing wrong in comparison - my helicopter just won't budge :/

Mikey, I can't open your mission - says I need vops_c_guns, which I do not.

Any help with my earlier questions?

[VTS3 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor]

Thanks mate,

But I meant move it after it's been spawned, like, on the map or something. I read that somewhere. You must've been talking about your next version?

[VTS3 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor]

Thanks.

How do I move enemy AI units? And how do I delete them?

[A new kind of mission! Announcing The War!]

Keep at it, man! I'll help where I can :D

[VTS3 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor]

Thanks for that.

A few questions:

- How do I get our troops to respawn at the 'Base' marker that appeared when I moved the respawn? It doesn't allow us to respawn there, only at the initial base.

- Where can I find Rucksack Crates to place, and the HuntIR and chem light boxes?

Cheers.

Also, how do I move units once I've placed them? And how do I delete them?

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

I'm getting there...

"P1 action ["getout", H1];" in the second waypoint as you said, but with a timeout on it (added '10' to every 'timeout' box in the waypoint's menu). The player does not eject untill the heli has stopped moving.

Two problems;

1. The heli will not continue with its waypoints. Even "H1 domove/move/moveto getpos Pad1" doesn't work, with Pad1 being an invisible helipad far in the distance. Doesn't work for markers either, and it doesn't continue to next move waypoint.

2. Setting a trigger that ensure all alive players are out before proceeding. How do I do this?

Cheers.

[[TvT48]Little Things]

I am very interested in this mission.

How well does it run with 4v4, etc?

[VTS3 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor]

if you don't want to wait you can add this command in the "command line" (editor mod) of the real time interface

[joueur2,joueur3] join joueur1

Joueur2 and joueur3 will join the game master

I don't understand this part. Where do I add these commands?

Cheers.

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

Gotten the script from that thread, and added a sleep command which doesn't appear to be working...

?!(isServer) : exit

_grp = _this select 0

_flz = _this select 1

_jmp = units _grp

_i = 0

_j = count _jmp

~(random 3)

#start

sleep 10;

unassignvehicle (_jmp select _i)

(_jmp select _i) action ["EJECT",_flz]

_i=_i+1

~.4

?_j>_i:goto "start"

exit;

Still launches players before waiting to stop.

Afterwards, it does not proceed to next move waypoint.

Cheers.

[VTS3 - Live Multiplayer coop mission editor]

Thanks for the response.

Is it possible for the Game Master to temporarily turn off the map positions of the enemy? I'd like to fight alongside the players without having an unfair advantage.

And is it possible to combine this with giving control of the game to the leader of the players? I'd love to be able to lead them against an attack I setup, to train my clan's troops, while not having an advantage (seeing enemy positions on map when nobody else can).

Cheers.

Considering the name of the mission has ACE in it, is there a way for me to start the mission with ACE weapon crates? I also can't seem to have my guys start with any launchers in any crates.

What about the ACE wounding module?

[Corpsman with heal trigger?]

I made a ticket about it, feel free to vote it if you have an account.

Voted.

Keep trying!

[Placeable IED's ?]

I would like to see example missions for the more advanced methods mentioned.

Pwease?

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

In the 'Move' waypoint, I have this in 'On Act':

H1 flyinheight 5; sleep 4; P1 setPos [(getpos H1 select 0),(getpos H1 select 1),((getpos H1 select 2) - 1)]

This works, apart from the 'sleep' command not working - I still get spawned out of the heli straight away. Also, how do I execute "P1 setPos [(getpos H1 select 0),(getpos H1 select 1),((getpos H1 select 2) - 1)" for a group?

And from what I can see, the helicopter just waits forever after these commands are run, and refuses to proceed to the next waypoint.

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

In the move waypoint's 'On Act',

H1 land "GET OUT"; H1 flyinheight 6;

doesn't work. The helicopter hovers far too high above the waypoint (something like >25m).

Tried adding an invisible helipad, as the wiki says "Helos will land at the nearest "H" or "Invisible H", if there is one around (within 500m in ArmA). ". This doesn't work, even with the flyinheight command removed from the 'On Act' field. The heli still hovers far too high, and doesn't proceed to next waypoint.

Thoughts?

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

With a 'Transport Unload' waypoint, the chopper wants to let me out on the coast, not the water. I need to force it to stay above the water for a set time, then force it to forcefully eject the players, or wait untill all players are out before flying away.

How do I do all of this?

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

For some reason, with the waypoint where I'd like the helicopter to hover, with only 'H1 flyinheight 6' in the 'On Act', with H1 being the name of the helicopter, it just sits there and doesn't proceed to its next move waypoint.

How do I force the players out at this point, and/or trigger the next waypoint based on all players being out of the heli?

[Helicopter Ocean Insertion]

I was wondering how I can get a helicopter to fly from far off of the coast, up to a section of ocean, above which it hovers at low altitude (5), gets all the squad to disembark, then turns and flys away again.

I don't know how to set this up. I need the helicopter to hold and wait untill everyone is out, and in the water, and stay below the maximum height one can drop into water from (what is that, anyway?).

Thanks in advance,

- HateDread.

[LZ Cow (Coop 1-20) (ACE)]

Is it alright to produce a modified version of your mission, changing the starting players, adding ACE crates, etc? I have given credit in the mission description. It's a mission for my clan's clan night coming up soon.

[Modifying Attack Aircraft Behaviour]

Thanks a lot guys.

[Modifying Attack Aircraft Behaviour]

So how does one get the group name? How do I define a group?

[Modifying Attack Aircraft Behaviour]

So I don't clutter the forum, I just thought I'd quickly ask in here...

How do I group AI/define AI group in the init line? So that I can move the entire group into cargo with one line, etc. Searched and searched for an answer :/
