I the script for Arma 2 you could go in and change the liftable vehicle types. In the new script for OA there's no vehicle types to edit. When I do try to edit it it wont work. i lifts everything but armored vehicles. Is there a way airlift armor vehicles??

I have a question about the logic script. In OA I cant seem to edit the script so that armor can be lifted. Any suggestions there?

I'm new to scripting and I don't know how to use these scripts. I got these scripts using the BIS_fnc_help feature by creating a trigger with the following info in a trigger.

Well its best to have it that way to avoid the lag issues. The way it works atleast ot my understanding is your using a trigger to spawn the opfor and in doing so once the triggers params a met it spawns the enemy, and once the trigger param's are false the trigger deactivates. The Only way I know to have the enemy stay is to simply place them on the map where you want them. I'm almost cirtain you can force the trigger to stay true but I'm not sure on how to do that without testing it myself. As fare as your previous question I'm in transit on my R&R leave from Iraq, and I don't have any way of getting that info to you. Once I'm able I'll get it to you. However this may be 15 plus days before I can do so. Or maybe someone else can help you whitchever happens first.

Yep I'm at Lewis

The best way to dao that I think is to script the group using the createGroup. Then creating a trigger to call the script when the trigger conditions become true. If you need an here is an example of what I mean http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=92872&page=2 This should help you out if this is what your wanting. Good luck.

I agree I have had a simular problem wher arma mis-assigns or add assigments to one already preset. I havent had that problem with ArmA 2 and I use the x52 pro. Over all it sounds like na easy fix if thats the problem.

Their are a few differnent ways of doing that. I made it easy for myself and I down loaded ArmA 1 recruit script from armaholic. I just changed the unit class names with arma 2 class names, and I had the issue with the ai dieing when landing with the para droping so I just made them spawn next to me. I would say search around see what you can find in the forums here. I do remember seeing different ways of doing somewhere in the forums. Over time I have broken evo down and I use a lot of evo's ways do doing it. from Objectives, side missions, and recruitment. Then one thing I cant figure out is how to del the rank system in the recruit, missions dialog. So I think I'm going to learn how to make my own dialog like evo's for the recruitment side missions ect free of the rank system script and post it for mission builders/everyone.

I don't know how to set the marker color bule but if you do the following 1. create a marker name it what ever you like 2. Place "MARKER NAME" setMarkerAlpha 0; this will del the marker once area is clear of enemy. Trigger set up should be ONCE, NOT PRESENT, OPFOR. You can script the marker or trigger. Create a new Obj: Create a new marker name it obj2 placing it where you want your next obj. In your first trigger place the following: Plaece a trigger just like the first one to know when the area is clear of enemy.

The script works the same but just remember the other features in evo such as addactions like build a mash, engineer building a farp, anything like that wont work (if your using any of Evos scripts in your mission)You'll still need to create a trigger named Airportin so your playable players are able to still you those addActions. And you'll need your playable players to startthe mission, and respawn in that triggers area. The following script requires you to create a center to ensure the scrips works correctly. NOTICE: If soldiers of one side are to be generate while the mission is already running and no unit of the respective side has already been placed, it’s important to allocate a center to this side to make sure that these units can communicate with each other. Then the setFriend order has to be used and the both sides needs to become enemy's to each other. Otherwise the AI wouldn’t start shooting the enemy side. It’s necessary to define the setFriend order and the center within the init.sqs script. If one has already placed units from all parties on the map, then these centers will be generated by the engine automatically. In the following example you can get the entries for the example Init.sqs: CENTER: For center, you can just place an enemy unit on one of the outlying islands somewhere, then when you use the createUnit command it works no problem for me. It's only when there are no enemies in the map it won't work. Or you cna place one of the folling (depending on what you want ot do) in your missions init.sqs file. As how Center can be created, it can be deleted again by using deleteCenter SIDE. But that would be unnecessary. GroupSquad1.sqf if (isServer) then { GroupSquad1 = CreateGroup East; _leader = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SquadLeaderE", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEB", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEB", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEB", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEG", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEMG", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEMG", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEAT", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierEAT", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["SoldierESniper", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _leader = leader GroupSquad1; wp1 = GroupSquad1 addwaypoint [position SquadAttack, 0]; wp1 setwaypointtype "MOVE"; sleep 1.0; hidebody _this; sleep 5.0; deleteVehicle _this; if (true) exitWith {}; [color="red"]You can place as many groups as you want including the vehicles in this script just repeat the script changing the group's name, or create a new script for each group namng it anyhting you want. The getMarkerPos can still stay the same if you wish or just create a new marker for that group.[/color] The above code spawns that particular group at a Marker called "Squad1". wp1 sets up a waypoint, and their waypoint is set on another Marker named "SquadAttack". To add more waypoint's just repeat the following step slightly changing the marker names and placing them on the map where you want them: wp1 = GroupSquad1 addwaypoint [position SquadAttack, 0]; wp1 setwaypointtype "MOVE"; wp2 = GroupSquad1 addwaypoint [position SquadAttack1, 0]; wp2 setwaypointtype "MOVE"; wp3 = GroupSquad1 addwaypoint [position SquadAttack2, 0]; wp3 setwaypointtype "MOVE"; [color="Red"]and so on till you have all the waypoints you want.[/color] With the waypoints theres a few more commands you can use to set their alertness (Safe, Careless, Combat etc) if you look it up somewhere. The "FORM" area is where you put "NONE", "FLY", "FORM" etc. And "SoldierESniper" defines the type of unit to be placed. _leader defines which of the units is going to be in charge of the group. This is the best way of placing units on the map to ensure good preformance sence they only appear when the trigger you set conditions become true. I'll have to look into createing vehicles. More than likely I'll take a look at Evo and see how its done. QUESTION: 1) What type of vehicles are you wanting? 2) Do you want the enemy using them/driving/flying/inside? 3) How many of each vehicle? REMEMBER: To call the script (getting it to work) you must place the following in your missions init.sqf file or in a Triggers on act line: null = [] execVM "GroupSquad1.sqf" If you wish to place the scripts inside a your missions folder and inside a nother folder called scripts be sure to tell the Init.sqs or the Trigger that for example: If you have the GroupSquad1 script in the following place your mission\scripts\GroupSquad1 you'll have to place the script init code like so null = [] execVM "scripts\GroupSquad.sqf" ect....

All aircraft require adjustments in the pitch to maitaine level flight. The air flow that passes over and under the wing's of the aircraft which in turn grenerats an aircrafts life causes the aircraft to be unstable such as the pitch, and roll. When encountering rought air (turbulance) it shakes the aircraft and it will move off course if not being manualy flown (hands on) or on auto pilot. I've been taking flight lessions for a little while now and playing a lot of flight simulator x where take off's flying, and landings are alot of work between the wind, the weight of the aircraft, the electronics, communicatos to atc's, the difference type of navigation VOR or IFR flight rules I could go on. Sorry rambelng on here lol hobbies ya know. But that about raps it u pfor me.

I play a lot of Flight Simulator X flying the 747, 737, and the bell heli from time to time, and their's a lot more to do flying in that game lol. In ArmA in general I fly low with a sister aircraft if possable (Helo's that is) working togeather lasing tgt's for one another using trees and terrain for cover and concealment (best way to fly I think in PvP). I generaly don't fly to fast that low but if I'm at 100 plus feet I move fast changing my alt and spd so its harder for me to get shot down. I use the Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System Joystick /w throttle, peddles, the famous IRTracker /w 3 monitors (Great view the irtracker helps a lot). The throttle works great at keeping altitude. I go for the accurate stable flight controls because of FSX. I some times use my yoke and throttle setup for FSX on the C130J It works out good for me. I think a lot of people learning to fly ingame watch their artificial horizon trying to maitaine their pitch/ speed, using it to ensure they got that perfect hover (it's a heli it dosen't hover perfectly your still going to move. You just gotta learn to compinsate for it). I would say if you cant fly, or have trouble in arma games flying practice to get the feel of the games avation responces for any 1 aircraft, how realistic the simulated fight is for example: (it sims the lift of helis, so if you try to do a barrel roll ect the heli (if you dont have enough alt) will crash because it couldn't regenerate enough lift in time before hitting the ground. NOTES ON WAYS TO HELP PEOPLE FLY IN THE ARMA GAMES: You'll also notice once you get going fast enough you lose rudder contol in a heli. This is true in real life. So you gotta turn the aircraft at an angle to turn. (The more of a bank/turn the faster/harder you'll turn). When making hard banks your heli will slow and slightly loose alt. (At that point you'll have rudder control to help you turn) Use your throttle to help you regain/maintaine alt. The Landing :( When learning to land a heli you should approch slow, and at a low alt flying straight in where your intending to land. As your slowly/slightly pitching the nose up to help you slow down. (when pitching up you will notice you gain alt to help correct that problem ease off/back down the throttle slowly so you don't go to fare), As you get closer to where your landing give it less throttle/back the throttle down slowly, giving it a harder/more nose up pitch if needed. As you get close to the ground probibly around 50-15 feet, level off (dosent have to be a hover/perfect) keeping it in one spot or manuvering the aircraft over your landing area slowly back the throttle down till you touch down. Don't worry about looking at your artificial horizon try getting hte feel of landing first by looking at your surrounding's. You can tell if you moveing/drifting in any direction. (If you have a gunner, crew chiefs, or a Co Pilot have them help guide you down have the gunner/Co Pilot callout alt, directions tohelp land on your targeted landing area. Have the crew chief's/gunners tell you if your in the clear to land and not going ot hit anything. (After all that's one of their jobs in real life make them earn their pay lol) Firing Unguided Rockets at Targets: I forget what its called all I can remember at the menent is the aircrew saying "Were abeam" this tell the ground forces to lift and shift fire so that don't hit the aircraft when it moves in. What they do is fly in low and as the gunner/pilot ID the target and are ready they will rappidly gain alt (this 1 slows the aircraft down so he gains more control of his rudder controls) and will fly most of the time straight when firing the 60mm cannon, or when firing the rockets the aircraft will pitch downward (loseing alt slowly to maitain it's rudder control) while the pilot lines up the aircraft with the target as the gunner/pilot begin's to fire, and bails out of it's desent quickly to gain speed as the aircraft pass over/by its target. If you have a sister aircraft it would normaly (depending on the target/situation) follow the lead aircraft in to re-engage the same target. This same procedure can be done with ground crews first calling up a CAS mission (Close Air Support) marking their pos using smoke, IR strobe, kemlights, and more (use what works in game)as the ground forces mark the target by lasing the target/target area. Using smoke, tracer fire. You can even discribe the target/target area and the aircrews will try and find it (just remember what you see on the ground is different then what they see in the air) but this method work's just a well. You can even use aircraft it any type of aerial reconnaissance. Such as route, zone, and area reconnaissance. I hope the above information helps people out their that have trouble flying. One thing That needs fixing is the fixedwing aricraft's rudder controls. Once you get going fast enough you lose it too. That not true in real life infact rudder control on a fixedwing aircraft becomes extremely touchy the faster you go. Anyways just my thought.

I had this very same problem. If you can do a simple test so I can be 100% sure if this is the problem. Remove your GTX video card, and try it with a different card. If the replacement card works just fine it's your GTX video card. I had a GTX 285 Overclocked card and that's what it did to me. So I called Nvidia talked to one of their peeps and he said its a comon problem for the GTX card's comming out of the box falty. So just return it and get another one you sould be good to go. Depending on how long you had the card you might have to send it off to nvidia to get a new card. I would also recommend reg the card so you have your life time waranty (I think it is) for the card.

You need to create the init.sqs file then, and place one of the following in it: _action = [] execVM "rearm.sqf" OR execVM "repair.sqf" Also while testing this your vehicle needs be damaged atleast 0.1 so in the editor have the vehicles health ammo status a little lower or half ect. You can try placing one of those in the trigger but I don't think it will work like that for the evo repair script. What you need to do is place the above code in the init.sqs file so your mission knows it's their and can run the script. If you don't do this it simply wont work. If you do that and it still don't work that just means there's more to the script and I'll be able to find that np. As for the unlocking of evo vehicles, ammo/weapons ect their is a very easy way of doing this. Simply go to evo's init.sqs file and I think at the top of it you'll see something like Rank1= 10; all the way through Rank6= 200; ect.. just change the points needed for each rank their. That's the easest way of doing it. The point thing your talking about is the admin login feature evo has in it I think. I don't know how that works.

Here's what I would do first to the repair script. 1) rename the script something like repair. 2) Add that script to your missions folder. 3) in your mission's init.sqs add the folowing line (DO NOT PLACE IT IN THE ANY FOLDER OTHER THAN YOUR MISSION"S MAIN FOLDER TILL YOUR SURE ITS WORKING): _action = [] execVM "repair.sqf" << I think that will work or try execVM "repair.sqf" Question: Is this still the Evo mission your want the repair script for or one you are creating from scratch??

MainThreadC.sqf EVO_Repair = { _vec = (vehicle player); _type = typeOf vehicle player; if(getDammage _vec > 0 or fuel _vec < 0.98 and not (_vec isKindOf "Man")) then { _inrepairzone = ((_vec in list AirportIn) or (_vec in list farp1) or (_vec in list farp2) or (_vec in list farp3) or (_vec in list reng1) or (_vec in list reng2) or (_vec in list reng3) or (_vec in list reng4) or (_vec in list dock1)); if(_inrepairzone and _vec != player and speed _vec > -2 and speed _vec < 2 and position _vec select 2 < 2.0 and (local _vec)) then { titleText [localize "EVO_014", "PLAIN DOWN",0.3]; for [{_loop2=0}, {_loop2<1}, {_loop2=_loop2}] do { sleep 0.200; if (getDammage _vec > 0) then {_vec setDammage ((getDammage _vec)-0.0125);}; if (Fuel _vec < 1) then {_vec setFuel ((Fuel _vec)+0.0125);}; if (getDammage _vec == 0 and Fuel _vec == 1) then {_loop2=1;}; if(_vec != vehicle player or speed _vec < -2 or speed _vec > 2 or position _vec select 2 > 2.0) then {_loop2=1;titleText [localize "EVO_015", "PLAIN DOWN",0.3];}; _dam = (getDammage _vec)*100; _ful = (Fuel _vec)*100; hint format["Damage: %1\nFuel: %2",Round _dam,Round _ful]; }; _vec setVehicleAmmo 1; if(_type == "AH6") then { _weapons = weapons _vec; if(not ("Laserdesignator" in _weapons)) then { _vec addMagazine "Laserbatteries"; _vec addweapon "Laserdesignator" } else { _vec removeMagazine "Laserbatteries"; _vec addMagazine "Laserbatteries"; }; }; if(_type == "DC3" and score player >= rank6) then { _weapons = weapons _vec; if(not ("BombLauncher" in _weapons)) then {_vec addweapon "BombLauncher"}; _vec removeMagazine "6Rnd_GBU12_AV8B"; _vec addMagazine "6Rnd_GBU12_AV8B"; _vec addMagazine "6Rnd_GBU12_AV8B"; }; }; }; }; for [{_loop=0}, {_loop<1}, {_loop=_loop}] do { _time = time; [] call EVO_Repair; sleep 1.011; [b][color="Red"]<<<------You can change the sleep time (How long it take's to start repairing).[/color][/b] }; This should be all you need. If this dosen't work then I gotta find where the rest of it is hiding. You will need the Airportin Trigger along with the farp triggers. The side mission's is a little complicated. I'm not 100% sure on how to do this without doing it my self. You need the missions folder inside Evo. The dialog folder some of the #include ****** from the discription file some scripts in side the scripts folder. Its going ot be alot of work ot figure out and like I sad I dont have arma 1.

The merge feature is use to "merge" mission's togeather (in it's own way copy and pasting) the content's of mission's such as marker's, object's, men, vehicle's, ect... and will copy and past all of these thing's on to the new map (any map you have chosen). To do this Follow these step's. NOTE: As I talk about this I will be using Evo, and Nogova for the example's sence that's the mission/map's you are using to help you better understand the process and myself. I will be very spacific on how to do this so please take no offence as to how I'm explaining it. I'm just making sure you get it, and understand it the first time. 1) To use all features of a mission such as respawning of the player's, and vehicels you will need to be in the muti player editor. (This is the best way to edit most of all PvP, and Coop mission's to ensure all of the mission's feature's are working properly) 2) Open a new Nogova map in the MP Editor. 3) Once the new Nogova map load's click on the "MERGE" button. This will bring up a window just like your going to load a new mission, and select the Evo mission and click ok or load which ever it is. NOTE: At this point you will notice all of the marker's, trigger's, object's ect.. from the Evo mission will now be seen on your new Nogova mission. 4) Now SAVE your new Nogova mission. 5) Go to your MP Mission's folder located: start\documents\arma\MP Missions. Here you will see all of your saved MP Mission's. 6) Open the Evo mission's folder and copy ALL it's content's but the mission sqf. 7) Open your new Nogova mission's folder that you just saved, and past all of Evo's content's you just copied. DO NOT COPY, PAST, OR REPLACE EVO'S MISSION SQF FILE INTO YOUR NEW NOGOVA MISSION'S FOLDER!!! Leave the mission sqf file in the Nogova mission folder ALONE. After you have completed the above step's load your new Nogova mission, and edit it. NOTE: While viewing your new Nogova mission in the "MP Editor" you should notice (if memery serves) 3 GREEN marker's surounding your main objective's. Those marker's are for that particular main objective's reinforcement's. (the reinforcement.sqf file in your missions script folder) If you move both the marker's, and trigger's for a main objective make sure you move those 3 GREEN marker's with it. (if memory serves the green markers are place a little distance away and on a road of some sort) So I would recommend following that guide line. (I dont think however it really matter's if the GREEN marker's are placed on road's, or how fare you have the marker's from the objective's) The GREEN marker's do however need to stay with it's respective main objective's to ensure your mission is working properly, and to help pervent any lag. With all that being said you should be good to go. If you have any question's or problem's let me know. Just be patient I'm currently deployed in the Iraqi theater, and I don't have ArmA anymore I just have ArmA II. Most things in ArmA II are still the same though, but I might have to research any question's or problem's you may have before I respond.

This is a common problem more so in arma. I dono what to tell you their other a higher end CPU would prob fix that problem. You see their is a lot of stuff going on inside the trigger area that you cpu is try to process along with evething else happening in game from other players what your doing ect... I belive the improved this problem in Arma II. Better options and such exist in arma II. May if you go around and edit the triggers in your evo mission to only activate one at a time once a trigger becomes true (such as clear of opfor). Over all this is a common problem in the arma games and when its all said and done a higher end CPU is probibly the best answer for the fix. I'm not sure what the above means. How ever to help stop the over all problem of have the weather their I would just del everything involving the weather. In doing so you should not have any issues with the mission load or game play. As fare as the mission not load/working If I understand you right you too evo for sahrani, and placed in on different map all togeather. I'm not sure what the over all problem may be if you merged the mission and its mission contents into the new map/ mission folder their shouldnt be a problem. although I dont know how you did it or how everything is placed on the map. so I'm unsure onb how to help you their.

Sometim's you just gotta wait. I made some post months ago and I have yet to get any help with. And yes this post is in the wrong area. Any who..... Look trough the two sqf files I reposted. At the bottom I placed the "SLEEP" in red. I'm not 100% sure but just change the sleep time to the time you want it to be at. Just remember it goes by seconds to 60 X the min's you want it be set at. (Example: sleep 60.0; //1 mins) I made a post for people wanting to get the evo weather for ArmA II but I think is the same for ArmA located here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=69538. The post will show you where everything is located so you can del it from the mission. I hope this post help's you. If you del the trigger and markers for the weather that will be okay but the mission will still try loading the scripts because they are present and set to run depending on the conditions set for the scripts to run. So over all it may not stop any lag just by del the triggers and markers but it will def help. If you have a problem let me know. makesu.sqf if (not (local server)) exitwith {}; rscripts=rscripts+1; for [{_loop=0}, {_loop<1}, {_loop=_loop}] do { _starts = [ka1,ka2,ka3,ka4]; _poscreate = position (_starts select (round random 3)); _pilot = createGroup (east); "SoldierEPilot" createUnit [position tpos2, _pilot]; "SoldierEPilot" createUnit [position tpos2, _pilot]; _recy = [_pilot,"none",objNull] spawn {[_this select 0,_this select 1,_this select 2] call EVO_gRecy}; //if(isNull (units _pilot select 0)) exitWith {}; _heli = createVehicle ["Su34", _poscreate, [], 100, "FLY"]; _heli setpos [getpos _heli select 0, getpos _heli select 1, 200]; _heli setdir (random 359); _heli engineon true; _vec setVelocity [200, 0, 0]; _sumark = [_heli] execVM "scripts\sumarker.sqf"; (units _pilot select 0) assignAsDriver _heli; (units _pilot select 1) assignAsGunner _heli; (units _pilot select 0) moveInDriver _heli; (units _pilot select 1) moveInGunner _heli; //player moveInGunner _heli; //_pilot setSpeedMode "LIMITED"; _pilot setCombatMode "RED"; {_x addEventHandler ["killed", {handle = [_this select 0] execVM "scripts\bury.sqf"}]} forEach (units _pilot); _heli addEventHandler ["killed", {handle = [_this select 0] execVM "scripts\bury.sqf"}]; _handle = [_pilot] execVM "scripts\flightpath.sqf"; sleep 10.0; waitUntil {not (alive _heli) or isNull (driver _heli)}; if (alive _heli) then {_heli setdammage 1}; [color="Red"]sleep 600.0; //10 mins<<-----(CHANGE THE SLEEP TO TO WHAT YOU WANT)[/color] }; makeka.sqf if (not (local server)) exitwith {}; rscripts=rscripts+1; for [{_loop=0}, {_loop<1}, {_loop=_loop}] do { _starts = [ka1,ka2,ka3,ka4]; _poscreate = position (_starts select (round random 3)); _pilot = createGroup (east); "SoldierEPilot" createUnit [_poscreate, _pilot]; _recy = [_pilot,"none",objNull] spawn {[_this select 0,_this select 1,_this select 2] call EVO_gRecy}; //if(isNull (units _pilot select 0)) exitWith {}; _heli = createVehicle ["KA50", _poscreate, [], 5000, "FLY"]; _heli setpos [getpos _heli select 0, getpos _heli select 1, 500]; _heli setdir (random 359); _heli engineon true; //"MarianQuandt" createUnit [position tpos1, _pilot]; (units _pilot select 0) assignAsDriver _heli; (units _pilot select 0) moveInDriver _heli; //(units _pilot select 0) setBehaviour "AWARE"; _pilot setCombatMode "RED"; _handle = [_pilot] execVM "scripts\flightpath.sqf"; {_x addEventHandler ["killed", {handle = [_this select 0] execVM "scripts\bury.sqf"}]} forEach (units _pilot); _heli addEventHandler ["killed", {handle = [_this select 0] execVM "scripts\bury.sqf"}]; sleep 1.0; waitUntil {not (alive _heli) or isNull (driver _heli)}; sleep 1.0; if (alive _heli) then {_heli setdammage 1;}; if (alive (units _pilot select 0)) then {(units _pilot select 0) setdammage 1}; [color="Red"]sleep 600.0;<<-----(CHANGE THE SLEEP TO TO WHAT YOU WANT)[/color] };

I made a post here for a guy on evo style weather. Everything you need to know is their.

Post updated. Sorry I for got to add the MainThread. Once again I just want to add I'm not sure if every here is needed for the dynamic weather to work but that's everything on the weather script in Evo. I'll be making a post soon on Evo's repair script, and also how Evo does it city markers, the scripting for opfor in marker areas, the jet's/ helis with markers showing ect. If their is something your looking for let me know I'll try to pick evo apart to find it for you.

The script is simple however the triggers, and markers a loccated in a few different places. 1) You will need the two scripts "FOG", and "RAIN" located in evo's data\scripts\rain and data\scripts\fog 2) You will need the following located in data\scripts\Main ThreadC Forgot to add this one on their!! in data\scripts\MainThread you'll need the following: 3) In data\scripts\pinit you will need to copy the following 4) In the data\scripts\spawn there is the following However I don't think you need. I'm new at this so I'm guessing the spawn.sqf is for respawning and keeping everything synced.5) The last few things you should need is the triggers and markers that you can find in the mission using the editor. I belive that's all you need. If it dosent work let me know. I hope this help's you, and eveyone out their looking to use Evo's weather scripts. If anyone is also wanting the Evo repair script let me know I'll post that as well.

Mandoble I have a question for you. Could you use your cam script/ addon in the mando missile for a script for the UAV to keep its cam on one spot?

What do you mean my free flight? How do you currently have it set up?

I had a thought about that. I dont know much of anything about scripting yet however I remember using NonWonderDog's Tank Fire Control Systems located here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=63293. It has the feature to lase a target (using a rangfinder) and have the ability to keep its reticals on a target reguardless what the tank driver was doing. Maybe someone with enough skill in the scripting area can alter the script for that. Just a thought.
