    Hey shark-attack being a fan of your previous work we decided to check this out, and we were not disapointed.

    Another quality mission, everything from the player loadout to the overall balance is really well thought out.

    Found it a bit hard first up but soon got into the flow of things.

    We played as a threesome on a local host server with each of us taking a team leader slot to utilize the group spawn and we were tested each time. We really like the fact that the hostages were in a different location each time we played and the little traps in place at the enemy barracks/prison.

    We noticed that the enemy here also spring from random positions keeping us on our toes everytime. Bloody good fun.

    Requests.

    Although the player loadout is great for the mission type, would it be possible to give the player a choice of other available weapons ?

    Would it be possible to start the teams in boats so they can maybe choose there own start off points. Starting in the bay so close to land limits the direction the groups can take for infil.

    Would it possible to make a version using a revive script ?

    I guess the Iranians broke Adam ? his rambling and complaining made us all laugh. A nice touch.

    Another top quality production. Thanks for this mission !

    Hi all

    Is it possible to use the SetVectorUp command on created compositions on uneven ground.

    Im trying to create a series of small camps and bunkers using some of the in game compositons. But the terrain i want them on isnt exactly level.

    eg.

    if (isserver) then {nul = [getpos this, getdir this,"bunkerMedium03"] execvm "CA\modules\DynO\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"};

    this setVectorUp [0, 0, 1] works a treat if i manually place objects in the editor. But im stuck on how to add it to compositions

    Anyone tell me the correct syntax to use or if this is even possible.

    Thanks X

    :)

    Hi

    Just a quick question before i progress with a project.

    Will this work ok with Isla duala using the Framework from BAF Takistan version. I know that Taki army units and Taki insurgents will be used rather than Duala units but i can live with that. Just not sure if Isla duala has Pre defined locations for enemy spawn points.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi panther42

    Carried out a few more tests yesterday, managed to get everything working ok when using default settings but as soon as i add my custom settings i get the same issues with chopper not arriving at drop zone, everything spawns ok and no error messages are shown.

    Hi

    i have recently developed a problem when using the air Support console to call in vehicle drop or an ammo drop on Takistan. The choppers cant find there way to the drop zone they just circle at the point where they are spawned and remain there.

    All other assests work just fine. Anyone experienced similar issues ? Or has anyone got any ideas how to fix this ? I have tried with various types of chopper and have tried with default settings but they can not find a route to drop zone

    Hi there.

    We (SWEBAT) are experiencing exactly the same issue when using the flagpole halo script.

    It always worked perfectly but now the option to pull rip cord is sometimes not available turning HALO into a thing of chance.

    An action is added to the flagpole/ vehicle of choice

    this addAction["HALO Jump", "flagpoleHALO.sqf"]

    here are the scripts used

    flagpole HALO.sqf

    haloed = true;
hintSilent "Click on the map where you'd like to HALO. You will be jumping from 2500 meters.";
onMapSingleClick "player setPos _pos; [player] execVM 'halo.sqf'; haloed = false;hint 'Close the map and don''t forget to open your chute!'";
waitUntil{!haloed};
onMapSingleClick "";

    HALO.sqf

    if (_this select 0==player) then {
    waitUntil {alive player};

    _unit = player;
    _unit addweapon "ACE_ParachutePack";
    _unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 2500];
    _unit execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqf";

};

    Like i say we have never experienced any issues previously. Possibly introduced with a beta patch ?

    Any help solving this issue would be splendid.

    Best wishes X

    Good point Blackfox

    Ammo and fuel would make a more sensible commodity for trading in a post-apocalyptic world

    In a distant trading post to offer some hope to survivors.

    Anyone know the end game ?

    Is there anylight at the end ? Or is it a day to day struggle to survive ?

    An ultimate objective would be cool, join or form a resistance unit [new skin] ..... Form a strongpoint/ fortress where hummanity can thrive

    So get a group together and establish one.

    Easier said than done ..

    just a wish list, but someway to secure your cache, a lockable cargo container or something with a key associated to it. Peed of with being mugged by bandits

    The number of animals to hunt seems to be good, we have cow's, rabits, pigs, sheep's. Maybe some dog meat? =x

    I only ever encountered rabbits , must just be me ... Mmmm hillbillie chicken cooked over an open fire.

    Damn this mod is addictive ..

    Wish list :rolleyes:

    Would be great to see some kind of Melee system or an abilty to use the hunting knife against zeds

    A fortified trading post where items can be bought or traded .... Where survivors must pool together to gain precious resources... An area in which bandits are not welcome within a set radius

    A cash system introduced for use at trading post

    A system to make enterable houses lockable, so a safe storage point can be created. If a bandit should see you entering or leaving safehouse then he can take keys and gain entrance to said safehouse

    A wider variety of game to hunt and more of them

    Excellent mod cant wait for next patch

    The script from OFPEC works like a charm, great find shark-attack !

    Many thanks for the heads up.

    *Edit

    Spoke too soon , everything other than the removal of the action works.

    At the end of the mission we were still left with an action to release hostage

    (x 3 one for each hostage) dedicated server only. :pet5:

    three hostages named hostage_1, hostage_2 and hostage_3

    Init.sqf

    {[_x, 0, 0, ["0"]] execvm "hostage.sqf"; sleep 0.1;} foreach [hostage_1, hostage_2, hostage_3];

    hostage.sqf by mr_book.PXS.Pvt

    _hostage = _this select 0;
_liberator = _this select 1;
_action = _this select 2;
_selections = _this select 3;
_selection = _selections select 0;

switch (_selection) do
{
case "0":
{
 _trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getpos _hostage];
 _trg setTriggerArea [2, 2, 0, false];
 _trg setTriggerActivation ["west", "present", true];
 _trg setTriggerStatements ["this", format ["freeman = %1 addaction [""Free hostage"", ""hostage.sqf"", [""1""], 100]", _hostage], format ["%1 removeaction freeman", _hostage]];
 _trg attachto [_hostage];
};
case "1":
{
 [_hostage] join (_liberator);
 _hostage removeaction _action;
 deletevehicle _trg;
};
default {};
};

    anyone see what the problem could be ?
