can someone tell me why the tripods dont work in OA or CO

Hey guys I have ace for Combined Ops. I try to deploy the tripod but nothing shows up in the class interaction menu. just my standard goggles and spotting scopes etc. Yes I have it equipped in my gear, it is on my back, I just cant deploy it. Any answers will help, thanks

****Nevermind dude I got it to work the problem was when I went into the trigger zone it was trying to exec the whole script at once so sometimes the waypoint was exec before all the units were spawned, all I did was put a sleep in for 5 secs and walla. Thanks

that move was a mistype and I forgot to take it out when I pasted it in here but here is the beginning of the script. GroupSquad1 = CreateGroup East; _leader = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_TL_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_3_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_4_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_AAT_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_MG_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_AR_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_Soldier_Medic_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_Soldier_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_Soldier_AA_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_TL_EP1L", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Warlord_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _unit = GroupSquad1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_MG_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "Squad1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"]; _leader = leader GroupSquad1; GroupSquad1 is declared and for the addwaypoint what should it look like. like this _wp = GroupSquad1 addwaypoint [getMarkerPos "s1"]; I want the waypoint to be the marker s1 right? But they just don't move/ ---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ---------- thanks for responding :)

thanks man. I got it to work. I have been working on this mission for a few hours and need to take a break and this is the reason why

this is my code but the thing is is that the description does not show up, in the briefing section. I go to task and it shows carry wounded pilots and exfill ,but no description. //---------------------------------------------------------------------- tskObj2 = player1 createSimpleTask ["Exfill"]; tskObj1 = player1 createSimpleTask ["Carry Wounded Pilots."]; //---------------------------------------------------------------------- tskObj2 = player2 createSimpleTask ["Exfill"]; tskObj1 = player2 createSimpleTask ["Carry Wounded Pilots."]; //-------------------------------------------------------- // Second Objective tskObj2 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Once you have secured the pilots, move to <marker name=""expoint"">this</marker> point where a helicopter will be awaiting exfill you out of the hotzone.", "Extraction", "Extraction Site"]; tskObj2 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "Epoint"); // First Objective tskObj1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Your objective is to get to the <marker name=""S"">downed helicopter</marker> and secure the <marker name=""f1"">downed pilots</marker>. After you have secured them, you will then move them to the <marker name=""Epoint"">exfill point.</marker>", "Secure the Pilots", "Secure the Pilots"]; tskObj1 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "f1"); ---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ---------- any help will be appreciated ---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ---------- UPDATE... For some reason if I play as the second player the tasks description shows up?

thanks I got it now i see what I was forgetting. +10

Ok I have this _Unit4="USMC_Soldier_LAT" createUnit [getPos "obj01", WestGrp01, "", 0.5, "Private"]; I want the unto though after being spawned to follow a waypoint but I just can't seem to get it. Thanks

thanks man works perfectly

Ok I can get the text to show up but my sound is not playing, am I missing something class CfgRadio { sounds[] = {r1}; class r1 { name = "r1"; sound[] = {\sound\BHD1.ogg, db+10, 1.0}; title = "Struecker and Gordon again request permission to secure untill convoy arrivers OVER"; }; }; i then type in my trigger helicopter globalradio "r1"; it shows the text but no audio?

thanks it works but it is only just a second longer. I want it to be about 5-7 seconds. Can I just make a loop to do this?

i have a helicopter that i move into cargo at the begging of the mission. I just want the name for the AI gunners. cause i just want them to randomly shoot but I cant seem to get it to work. this is what i have (gunner helicopter) action ["fire",M134]

the helicopter is a UH-60m edit....... your code works but iI have to figure out a way for them to shoot for a period of time like say 5 sec then let off then again. I can do it with triggers but it only shoots out a quick spurt and thats it. any ideas?

thanks man worked perfectly:bounce3:

Hey guys I need help with this, I got it to work,but I want to be able to send two aircraft at the same time instead of one and each drop their own bombs on separate spots. I got the other one to spawn and follow the other aircraft but It doesnt drop and bombs or anything.

I downloaded drapers script and added my owntwist

Ok I just need a little help. I have 3 f35 fly over me and I just want them to drop bombs or shoot rockets whatever at a certain spot on the map. How can I? Thanks ---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ---------- i think I figured it out....

Hey guys I have this error that I will provide in the picture. I have Windows7 64bit and using a Xbox360 Vision camera. The camera works in every other application I have including Flash media Encoder. I just need help to whomever has an issue like this. Thanks? Can't wait to try it out. http://i45.tinypic.com/178pvl.png 332 kb

steam made a update with most steam games now and steam is not required anymore to run with arma2. I have arma2 on steam and I just click a shortcut because I have ace and some mods running. Pretty much steam is just a download server and gives you a key. Some games are different though.

I need help here is a screenshot it says failed to register camera catagory ????
