Problem solved! The choppers do actually have a name after respawn & it's not the same as the editor, if we look in the i_client.sqf we see ["HR1",0,"chopper1",301,"n_air","ColorWhite","1","Lift One"], "HR1" being the name of the chopper before & after respawn so I can now run my recall script (even if someones flying it at the time) ;)

At the moment we run three 20 slots servers 2 of them are public & that's the problem ;) On our members server we have no problems as everyone's in TS and happily plays ball, the Wreck chopper on the public servers was sorted out by adding a second wreck chopper that's locked out to non members by vehicle class, we'd rather not do that to he lift choppers to avoid ruining the game for non members.

What I'm trying to do is have a recall & teleport script for the lift vehicles as they are constantly abandoned in the middle of nowhere, the only way I can think of recalling them is by their name (see script below) I realise that you can use the abandoned vehicle setting, but we have members that use them responsibly & don't need them to respawn if 'abandoned'. ch50 attachTo [a10hook,[0,0,1]]; ch50 setfuel 0; ch50 setdamage o; hint "A10 will be available in a few moments"; ch50 setfuel 1; Sleep 10; detach ch50; hint "A10 is ready";

Does anyone know if it's possible to modify the x_server\x_helirespawn2.sqf so it will respawn vehicles with their original name intact? I can't use the simple respawn script as it won't work along side of the lift chopper & MHQ's scripts. I'm using ver 2.60 Thanks in advance Signaller

I've got everything working with Domination (ver260m) except for the hud error message resource BTC_Hud not found, I checked the path it's correct #include "=BTC=_Logistic\=BTC=_Lift\=BTC=_Hud.h" Any ideas?

This script is excellent! The demo mission works perfectly but I'm having trouble getting it to work in Domination, error coming up as... =BTC=_Hud.h, line 121:.RscTitles: member already defined Line 121 is text = "=BTC=_logo.paa"; // Graphic Direction Any idea what could be causing this conflict? Whoops, please ignore I should have pasted #include "=BTC=_Logistic\=BTC=_Lift\=BTC=_Hud.h" in the class RscTitles section of the description.ext

When I load the game up the cursor is present but doesn't move with the mouse,when I right click the cursor changes position. This is making it almost impossible to use the UI any ideas? Tried disabling desktop composition, doesn't work Win 7 x64 Mouse Cyborg RAT 3

Try disabling the desktop composition, to do this create a short cut on your desktop, right click it, properties, select the comparability tab then finally click the check bow with disabling desktop composition in it. Hope this helps

Thanks NoamAdd, your a star! Works perfectly now, updated title as solved

@=101AD=Richard your welcome =) Does anybody know if it's possible to alter x_helirespawn2.sqf (or any other sqf) so that it preserves the vehicle name upon respawn? At the moment I'm using a respawn script that does exactly that, the problem is it won't work alongside the domi respawn & you lose things like the chopper welcome screen, load ammo etc.

Had another idea on this, seems to work OK on a dedi server, haven't tested it with JIP though. Place a marker anywhere in the editor called AMspawn then place an invisible helipad named hp1 where you want the ammo box to be. Finally put the code below at the end of x_client\x_playerammobox.sqf _AM1 = "BAF_BasicWeapons" createVehiclelocal (getMarkerPos "AMspawn"); [_AM1] call FUNC(weaponcargo); [_AM1,_box_array] execFSM "fsms\PlayerAmmobox.fsm"; player reveal _AM1; player reveal _AM1; _AM1 attachTo [hp1,[-6,0,1.35]]; _AM1 addAction ["Save gear layout" call d_fnc_BlueText, "x_client\x_savelayout.sqf"]; _AM1 addAction ["Clear gear layout" call d_fnc_BlueText, "x_client\x_clearlayout.sqf"]; _AM1 addAction ["Get Backpack" call FUNC(BlueText), "x_client\x_getbackpack.sqf"]; You may want to add the line _AM1 allowDamage false; although the crate will respawn it will be empty. Remember to comment out the backpack line if your not using the OA version. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a trigger condition of not in this list? Or know how to accomplish a similar effect for a trigger?

Thanks for you quick reply Wiggum, I don't think I can use group unit with a trigger because it needs to work with a respawn script & JIP players, the !(player in thislist) looks right to me but it doesn't seem to work on my trigger, the script seems to trigger when the object is in it.

Need more info to help you, what script are you using?

This script spawns an ammo crate to be loaded into a helo, although it works, I would like it to just spawn one ammo crate with the condition that there's no other ammo crate in close proximity. This is intended for use on a dedicated server running domination Anybody know how to implement this? amspawner.sqf if (AMActive) exitWith {hint "Vehicle Ammo not Available"}; if (!X_Client) exitWith {}; AMActive = true; publicVariable "AMActive"; _AM1 = "BAF_BasicWeapons" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "AMspawn"); AMActive = true; nul = _AM1 execVM "ammo.sqf"; _AM1 attachTo [hp1,[-6,0,1.35]]; //attach to helipad hp1 to get extact position sleep 5; AMActive = false; Script call via object addaction and has another ammo script attached to it (see spoiler below) this addAction["Unpack Ammo Crate","AMspawner.sqf"];this allowDamage false; ammo.sqf

My apologies Xeno, I didn't take this into account, would it be possible to associate the x_playerammobox.sqf with a second marker so it could spawn another crate? P.S. Thank you for all of your hard work on Domi it's greatly appreciated. *Edit* How about this? Place an invisible helipad where you want the extra ammo crate to go, name it box1 x_client\x_playerammobox.sqf Box disappeared after respawn, add the lines in red to x_client\x_setupplayer to fix this.(the code is just before half way down in the original script) I realise this is a bit of a sloppy (possible) solution, but my scripting knowledge is somewhat limited.

I been getting a lot of requests from visitors & members of my Domi server, for a permanent waypoint to the base. The I came up with the idea of adding a task with a waypoint to the base, but as I feared, it won't allow the game to finish once all of the main targets are solved. I think the solution is to add it as a child task to each new main target mission as child tasks auto complete once the parent task is solved. The problem is I can't find where the main mission tasks are. Using Domi 2.60M in tasks.sqf Anyone know how to do this? Thanks :) ---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ---------- I tried this too, but couldn't figure it out, I found a script that would do the same thing. Make an ammo box on the editor, put the text below in the init line of your box (please note this box is for OA, BAF, PMC and won't work with Arma 2) nul = this execVM "ammo.sqf"; create ammo.sqf (in spoiler below) & place it in your mission directory. If you want the 'save layout' , 'clear layout' & 'Get Backpack' options for your ammo crate add the text below to the init field (I use domi 2.60m, this may not work with older versions) this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Save Layout") + "</t>"),"x_client\x_savelayout.sqf"]; this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Clear Layout") + "</t>"),"x_client\x_clearlayout.sqf"]; this addAction[("<t color=""#F4C610"">" + ("Get Backpack") + "</t>"),"x_client\x_getbackpack.sqf"]; Hope this helps :)

I've made a simple A10 loadout selection script for Domination, it works perfectly in the editor, but when run on a dedicated server the loadout appears on the A10 for about 5 seconds then reverts to the default loadout. Not being the most knowledgeable scripter (& that's an understatement) I'm a little confused as to why this won't work on a dedi & would greatly appreciate guidance with this. Thanks Signaller Called from addaction via object this addAction["load 8 GBU-12 Laser Guided Bombs","scripts\loadout1.sqf"]; //8 GBU 14s, 14 Hydras, GAU8 cannon ch50 removeMagazinesTurret ["2Rnd_Sidewinder_AH1Z",[-1]]; ch50 removeMagazinesTurret ["2Rnd_Maverick_A10",[-1]]; ch50 removeMagazinesTurret ["4Rnd_GBU12",[-1]]; ch50 removeWeapon "SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z"; ch50 removeWeapon "MaverickLauncher"; ch50 removeWeapon "BombLauncherA10"; {ch50 addMagazineTurret ["4Rnd_GBU12",[-1]];} forEach [1,2]; ch50 addWeapon "BombLauncherA10";

That shouldn't be a problem as you can't call the script from inside the aircraft, although someone else may be able to call it whilst your inside as long as your still in the hangar. If anyone would like to try the script I've uploaded it here http://www.datafilehost.com/download-63eae3f7.html would appreciate any feedback =)

Problem solved, Demonized your an absolute star many thanks m8 =)

That worked perfectly thanks m8 =)

I have made a small script that spawns an A10 at a specific location, works fine except for the fact that you can repeat the script & fill the area with spawned A10s. What I want it to do is spawn one A10 & when the it's destroyed spawn another on request (think of it as a manual respawn). It is vital that the spawned aircraft has the name ch50 as this is for a loadout script that I'm working on, I can't use the respawn script that comes with the mission as it deletes the unit name (hence my simple solution). I've tried putting !alive ch50 in the trigger condition, doesn't work, the aircraft doesn't even spawn. Code ch50 = "A10_US_EP1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "hspawn"); ch50 setDir 150; Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Signaller

Found this.. http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=8631&print=topic hope this helps =)

thx M8 :)

I have to say this is a very impressive script! I tried for ages to make a chopper land under fire, this scipt does it every time! Just a couple of questions though.. (nub alert, I know ;)) Would this work in Arma 2? & if it does where can I find a list of vehicle names to change the type of helo? *Edit... is there anyway to make helo fly higher? thx :)
