could look into the fired near event controller

Just curious if this is possible either in a config or even better via a script(though doubtful) When the A-10 gun is fired it ill fire a preset amount of time independent of the time the trigger was actually held down, is there anyway to change this either via config/addon editing or a script?

Ok the guys on the A-10 forums replied and indeed DCS shows the correct GAU-8 function for both the A and C variants, ie no burst mode, it is strictly a trigger down = guns blazing weapon so ACE ticket submitted

Hmmm, not sure if the gun is limited to burst in real life. something may have changed from the A-10A model which is what the a-10 in arma is to the A-10C in DCS A-10C, but the DCS title which (i assume) models the gun operation on the real A-10C has no burst mode it is a purely trigger down = gun firing/ trigger up = not firing system. I posted the question an A-10 forum and will have to see what the guys who flew the A variant say about it. if it's realistic to have only a burst feature then theres no point in changing it.

Don't necessarily wan't a slower gun, just one that responds to the gun trigger and then quits firing when the trigger is no longer depressed...if the gun does this in vanilla i must be in ACE settings ill test it when i get home from work and if so ill submit a ticket ^^

its not in Vanilla? thought I tested it..must have been mistaken

Meh. You toe the line doing it in all likelihood you'd be ok as long as you didn't include any photos music etc and it was used only as a name ie you must rescue operative Rambo but im no expert on copyrights so I don't really know

Good topic I am also interested in learning things like this

init line of each player unit who you dont want to have NV goggles

If im reading him correctly the problem is that the damage isnt registering..ie the damage doesnt happen in the first place

ooh a command I was unaware of..thank you zone

this && ({_x isKindOf "LAND"} count thisList)>0 in the activation filed of your trigger "LAND" is the CFG class..it can use any level in this list so TANK would work just as well as "2S6M_Tunguska" for example

i think he wants the player to bomb to runway not for it to be already damaged

could always place hidden units all along the units and check if any of them are damaged

Set it at an altitude slights above the desired altitude google set unit height

On phone so forgive but google firednear event handler

Kolmain: |TG|Charles Darwin on steam or you can join the TacticalGamer TS and see if you can catch me..steam would be best bet though

best way to learn is 1. find a script semi close to what you want to do and look at how it is done 2. tear is apart and find out why it works 3. attempt to use what you have learned in your missions..when you have problems post the question here

welcome to wonderful world of locality in arma 2 multiplayer scripting

WOOOHOOO!!! got it working..Ill get to writing that quick start guide tomorrow..do you want me to post it here or do you want to look it over first? Don't want to put something out there that might be confused as having your guy's approval especially since I'm not nearly as good at this stuff as you, I'm just excited to get more attention for this project as I see what it can do!

DOH! I can't beleive I didn't see that LOL thanks * shy's away for being stupid* kolmain..in order to get the git files I had to use the gitbash and this link: https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@git.dev-heaven.net/a2-sql-persistent-db.git Jman: ok ran your arma.sql file into a new DB and created the needed tables etc and the ArmA2MySQL program is running and connected to the DB..load the mission named pipe is opened and get: Info: 15:29:36 - Arma2MySQL Server Started.

was able to get the new files via the non anonymous git server..will test them out :)

yep no problem Im just happy to be able to use what I already have ^^

awesome, this is a really awesome tool you guys are working on, I wish I knew more about programming to be able to help, but like I said as soon as I figure out how to use it, Ill put up a quick start guide:D git bash connection is still being hung up i assume that mean the read only is still not working
