Random start time/date?
callihn replied to ladlon's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
That's all good and well, but what do we do when me decide we want to move it to early spring, then we have to start the search for that full moon night again, the simple fact is that while we are doing all this chasing the moon we could be writting code instead if we had something to go by it wouldn't have to be yet another time wasting experiment. -
Check speed of a player?
callihn replied to BittleRyan's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
How hard whould this be to use with addaction, like for when your sitting in a vehicle? -
Is there a way to stop vehicles from moving completely without taking all their fuel?
callihn replied to Drumheller's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
You could also damage the vehicle. -
order AI to turn out
callihn replied to Zalsak's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
My first thought was that someone was trying to make the Hooker models useful. -
Magic _pos in SSM, where does it come from?
callihn replied to CarlGustaffa's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Good, so I wasn't they only one that thought it should have asked. -

I think you have too much time on your hands man, but since you do and like to waste it it looks like they could use a moon phase chart. -
Gear Script and Respawn Problems
callihn replied to Enders's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
On the hidebody, I think you want to use addaction here? -

Placing compositions?

Opps wrong thread! :o -
Random start time/date?
callihn replied to ladlon's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Actually it does, since everynight is not a full moon. BTW, using the Farmer's Almanac doesn't help, so I wonder, just where did BIS get this "real world data", from another world maybe? -
Random start time/date?
callihn replied to ladlon's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
There's that question again, does anyone know where we can find out for example what dates a full moon is on and the tides? Still wondering about MP and JIP too. I think BIS sould pay me per question, intseed it seems like I paid and now have nothing but question, most of which will never get answered. -
Modern civilian and military emergency response characters and vehicles, perhaps with modern buildings that can used in existing maps call it the RPG pack or something. ;) I also agree that the OPFOR is somewhat over powered in areas, however I do not agree that it should be fixed in a DLC, the ideals presented by Dr@gon sound interesting too, aside from the French do not seem to do anything for anyone aside from themselves when it comes to war, so I can not help but agree that we should keep them out of this war too.

No when I para jump I want my AI group to go up to the damn pole and para jump too or at least para jump with me and I have yet to see a MP mission with that feature, it may or may not be possible with scripting, like I said I haven't seen it and if I spend all my time scripting things that IMHO BIS should script then I have little or no time for playing.

Damn this game! No wait, I do not want to wish that on the poor people in hell. The MP/JIP thing is always lurking, I don't pretend to understand it and I certainly hate it because of it. So how do we sync it with everyone? And can we do it with weather too? -
Checking for partial content in return?
callihn posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I'm wondering if it's possible and how to go about checking a return for content? For example: _content = _item call INV_getitemName; I want to check content for owner when content will return vehicle_owner+randomnumber_randomNumber I'm thinking wildcards, but I don't know if wildcards are possible nor what the wildcard characters are. Help please? -
Stop AI pilot from diving at start
callihn posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I'm trying to use the C130 for a paradrop but the crazy pilot dives below the start height and then back up to it, I have the chopper spawned at the correct height and have also set flyin height but as soon as right after the player gets in he dives strait down and then comes back up to the correct height, most of the time aside from looking completely stupid it's not a problem, however sometimes he crases into the hillside because of it, how do I stop this awkward behavior please? To clarify this does not seem to have anything to do with targeting as there is nothing to target. Think I fixed it, looks like it was falling backward and down from it's spawn, so I made some changes: Take that back, this is crazy, WTH is wrong with this game? You can find the latest version of the entire script here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1736011&postcount=15 Looks like it happens when the transport is spawned north of the jump, still working on it. -
Non-blinding sun mod
callihn replied to sakura_chan's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
No because IRL you don't look at it like that because it hurts your eyes and starts on your head, in the game you can look at it, study it and decide to mess it up with an addon. I think what we really need is some blending because at times it is more realistic and at times it is over done, all of which have to do with distance, angle, etc. -
Squint - the sqf editor and error-checker

I still get no bracket highlighting at least not in the scratch area. -
MP/JIP Briefing
callihn replied to Clavicula_nox4817's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Get Squint! Unexpected input 'unofficially' in array element Unknown variable LIAN Expected ; or operator but got } Also get Notepad++ so when you see you broke it you can undo it. ;) -
But the AI are still seen by other players so the information regarding their location still has to be passed by the server to the other players before they can handle it local, as well as other information regarding them. No? Also I have not tried this "Insurgency" yet, is it a core system like Domination that can be freely modded?
-
If it's too bright then your probably somewhere that NV is not required?
-
Yea, and that's pretty much the case for everyone there, the military is much more fun when you get special treatment and in fact do not actually have to be there.
-
Well they are going to spend years working on the next version anyway, might as well get it right this time. ;)

Check the actionlist added by addAction
callihn replied to zapat's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Except that CBA is an addon that most people no longer use because most people no longer use ACE because most of what was worth having is now in OA, so there is little need for CBA and ACE at the moment. This may be getting lost in translation but again, when the leader dies there are no more actions in their list because they are no more, so you add the actions to the new leader, there is no list to check as there is no leader character anymore. -
A very wierd problem with DAC...
callihn replied to kyfohatl's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Exactly, because my first inclination was to ask WTF is DAC, but then I realized I didn't want to know. The first problem using this method is that many that do not use DAC would first have to search for it to see what it is.
