I have searched through so many threads my eyes hurt. Does anybody know how I can add a altimeter to my HALO script? I would love to use what is in DomiOA but I can never get it to work. Too many pieces and I am not good at coding. Here is what I am using: Flagpole code this addAction["HALO","flagpoleHALO.sqf"]; sqf script haloed = true; hintSilent "Click on the map where you'd like to HALO."; onMapSingleClick "player setPos _pos; [player, 2000] exec 'ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs';haloed = false;hint 'Close the map and don''t forget to open your chute!'"; waitUntil{!haloed}; onMapSingleClick "";

I had to break my squads down and use it for individual units. Took a lot of doing but she works. My problem that I can not get to work is the murk_spawn.sqf and the Norrin Revive script. They have a conflict someplace and will not work together.

I am trying to create a "Search and Rescue" mission for a downed pilot. If possible I would like to have team members see the pilot eject. How can I force a AI pilot to eject from the aircraft? I have been setting the damage level to almost max to get a good smoke trail for the bird mut can not seam to get pilot to eject.

use this code along with the "visual house id" mod listed below. The MOD is a must have tool. nul = [this,triggername,"once",1,1,"unitname setPos ((position this nearestObject 8389) buildingPos 8)"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; this disableai "MOVE"; http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11288 hope this helps ---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ---------- although I know it works for individual units, not sure about groups.

Thanxs, that did it. I placed a empty aircraft on the runway and named it "plane1". I then created the pilot named "pilot1" and placed him next to the aircraft. I made the first pilot waypoint a "HOLD" and then the next one a "GET IN NEAREST" I placed both these wp's on the aircraft nose. Then ran out way points to get aircraft to mission area. I set a trigger in the mission area synced to the "Hold" waypoint and set as a "switch". This way when the trigger gets activated the "Hold" waypoint is deleted and the pilot gets in the aircraft and takes off. I then set the eject trigger with the code below added in the on act: , then placed the trigger were I wanted the pilot to eject. Worked great! Here is the code with names changed: pilot1 = driver plane1; UnAssignVehicle pilot1; pilot1 action ["EJECT", plane1]; :bounce3::bounce3: ---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ---------- Now I need to go search for commands to get the pilot to join search team when they arrive at his location..

I have been using revive now. Working good, Now if I try to use it with Murklor's respawn scrip that respawns AI off of triggers, the respawn fails to work. Both scripts work independently, just not together. Any suggestions? Murklor's script: // File: murk_spawn.sqf // Function: To allow for simple trigger based spawning using editor placed units and waypoints. // The script deletes all units when the mission start and the recreate them on command. // Parameters: // _this select 0: OBJECT - unit name (this) // _this select 1: OBJECT - trigger name // _this select 2: STRING - spawn type ("once","repeated","wave" and "reset") // _this select 3 (optional): NUMBER - spawn lives (the amount of time the unit respawns, or wave number) // _this select 4 (optional): NUMBER - spawn delay // _this select 5 (optional): STRING - init string called for the leader of the group // _this select 6 (optional): NUMBER - delay before body removal // // Usage: // Example trigger: Anybody Once (or whatever you want), onActivation: this setVariable ["murk_spawn",true,true]; // Unit (leader of group): nul = [this,triggername,"once"] exec "murk_spawn.sqf"; // init.sqf: triggername setVariable ["murk_spawn",false,false]; // // V5 // - Change: Removed group and function scripts, everything done in a single file // - Change: Spawn trigger variable is now a setVariable of the trigger instead of a global variable // - Add: Option to enable removal of dead units, eventhandler attached to everyone spawning // - Fix: Should now work in multiplayer on a dedicated server (only tested on a local dedicated/join setup however) // - Fix: Performance issues with helos from V4 resolved, was a mistake on the example mission and not the script // - Fix: Some minor bugs with the optional parameters // - Fix: Now properly support crews in turrets-on-turrets (had to bring in some BIS made functions) // V4 // - Change: No longer requires the BIS functions module // - Add (again): Like V2, it saves the weapons and magazines and restore them // - Fix: squad leader init is now fired after the creation of the entire group, can manipulate squad members with init // - Change: Removed the external paradrop script, its down with a [] spawn in the waypoint.

OK, now I have a whole new problem. I use Murklor's respawn and I use Norrin's revive script. I am using both of these scripts in missions and they work great. But if I put them both in the same mission the murk_spawn.sqf will not work. Any suggestions?

I have a problem getting the revive to work on our server in a mission. If we run the mission on my computer it works great. But when loaded up on our server at AOWC it crashes the server. Here is my Description, Init, and Revive files. Can somebody see if anything is wrong for me?

I must be doing something wrong. 1. I have a folder in my mission folder named \scripts with the billowing.sqf in it. the sqf reads: SD_smokePot = "Misc_TyreHeapEP1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "smokepoint"); [sD_smokePot, [0.1,0.1,0.1]] spawn { _sh=_this select 0; _col=_this select 1; _c1=_col select 0; _c2=_col select 1; _c3=_col select 2; sleep (3+random 1); _source = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _sh; _source setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 7, 48], "", "Billboard", 1, 20, [0, 0, 0], [0.2, 0.1, 0.1], 0, 1.277, 1, 0.025, [0.1, 2, 6], [[_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.2], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.05], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0]], [1.5,0.5], 1, 0.04, "", "", _sh]; _source setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; _source setDropInterval 0.03; _source2 = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _sh; _source2 setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 8, 0], "", "Billboard", 1, 20, [0, 0, 0], [0.2, 0.1, 0.1], 0, 1.277, 1, 0.025, [0.1, 2, 6], [[_c1, _c2, _c3, 1], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.5], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0]], [0.2], 1, 0.04, "", "", _sh]; _source2 setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.2], 0, 0, 360]; _source2 setDropInterval 0.03; }; 2. I created a marker in editor named "smokepoint" what else is needed because there is no tire pile or smoke... should ther not be a execVM someplace? ---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ---------- I added execVM "scripts\billowing.sqf"; to my init.sqf and woot we have smoke. Thanks

Sorry for asking agian. I still do not have this right yet. I am still having trouble getting it to work. I have the script folder and sqf file done in the mission file. What is not clear is what to do with SD_smokePot = "Misc_TyreHeapEP1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "smokepoint"); what is the marker for? Do i put what where? If I have a tyre heap on the ground named "tire1" do I add this to the init? SD_smokePot = "Misc_TyreHeapEP1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "smokepoint"); or does this go into a trigger and then what is the activation.....? I just do not understand what goes in what because there are different people saying different things here and I am now confused because we have added a "marker" as well.

Norrin has a great script wrote for extractions and insertions. Very nice. Only thing is the wait times before some actions can be made. I need to understand the "sleep" function in his scripts. I see sleep times ranging from 0.1 to 20. Is this 1 sec for each 0.1 ? Reason I ask is I need to change some times to be shorter. Here is his script... http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1750900#post1750900 What I need to know is how to shorten the time between: 1. when the chopper lands and when the player gets the hint to "Board the chopper" 2. when the player gives the "All clear for take off" command and when the bird actually lifts off. Any help would be awesome.

I am very new to this scripting but learning fast. Please, can you be more "Newb" friendly in the language used here..lol I have made a sqf file named billowing.sqf, and pasted this code below in it. SD_smokePot = "Misc_TyreHeapEP1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "smokepoint"); [sD_smokePot, [0.1,0.1,0.1]] spawn { _sh=_this select 0; _col=_this select 1; _c1=_col select 0; _c2=_col select 1; _c3=_col select 2; sleep (3+random 1); _source = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _sh; _source setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 7, 48], "", "Billboard", 1, 20, [0, 0, 0], [0.2, 0.1, 0.1], 0, 1.277, 1, 0.025, [0.1, 2, 6], [[_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.2], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.05], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0]], [1.5,0.5], 1, 0.04, "", "", _sh]; _source setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0, 10]; _source setDropInterval 0.03; _source2 = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal getpos _sh; _source2 setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 8, 0], "", "Billboard", 1, 20, [0, 0, 0], [0.2, 0.1, 0.1], 0, 1.277, 1, 0.025, [0.1, 2, 6], [[_c1, _c2, _c3, 1], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0.5], [_c1, _c2, _c3, 0]], [0.2], 1, 0.04, "", "", _sh]; _source2 setParticleRandom [2, [0, 0, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0.25], 0, 0.5, [0, 0, 0, 0.2], 0, 0, 360]; _source2 setDropInterval 0.03; }; Now, what do I do next? I have this code that I think goes into the init.sqf file: _handle = []execVM "scripts\billowing.sqf"; then i change the _handle to what ever name I want and then name the object(in this case a tire heap) to be "smoking" the new name. not sure here...

Very nice script, this will allow me to clean up a couple of missions where I have 3 or 4 extractions set up with preset waypoints. Not to mention I can extract anywhere now instead of moving to a pre determined LZ. One question. How can I shorten the time the bird is on the LZ. If that LZ is Hot we die before we get airborne again. When the bird lands on the LZ, you have to wait for 25 to 30 seconds, even longer before you get the hint "Board the Chopper". If you board before that it will not read right and bug out. After you get the hint "Board the Chopper" message and get in bird, you get the hint "Give Chopper all clear for takeoff". Once you give the command to takeoff, you then have to wait another 30 seconds or so before chopper lifts off. Once in the air, it takes a second or so then you get the hint to go back to base or set new destination. Times are not too bad here but still could be shorter for a hot lz Those two 30 second waits are death on a hot LZ. Is there a way I can shorten those times? I see "sleep 5" and "sleep 0.1" ect in some files. What is the actual times for the "sleep"? can I just go in to each file and change any "sleep" greater than 0.5 and make them 0.5 or less? Other than those two times I really like this script and will be using it regularly with your credits in tact, thank you for your time put in this.

He will kill himself, the AI does not recognize "Danger Close"... lol

I have searched till my eyes hurt. And can not find a way to search just this thread and it's 65 pages long.... I hope somebody can help me. After setting up Revive, I tried to load the mission in editor several times and my game crashes with the following error code: missio\revive.sqf\dialogs\config.ccp, line 75: .Cfgsounds: Member already defined. I have turned off Mondo Missile as another thread tried that. But that did not help.

I am new to all this, please explain "your_sl_init_string_here" nul = [this,trigger1,"once",1,1,"your_sl_init_string_here"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; What do I place there? ---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ---------- I tried this by renaming unit "u1", and the units did not despawn at start nul = [this,trigger1,"once",1,1,"u1 setPos ((position this nearestObject 8389) buildingPos 8)"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; ---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ---------- I have this working for the moment, thanks Murklor, this is a great script. nul = [this,trigger1,"once",1,1,"u1 setPos ((position this nearestObject 8389) buildingPos 8)"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; this disableai "MOVE"; The units spawn at start then despawn correctly. On trigger they spawn on location and stay put..... awesome!

This is my first how to, and I hope it helps in editing. It took a lot of searching and reading to find all the pieces to get my extraction to work. Once I got it working, I wanted to share it with others who might be looking for the same thing. I know how frustrating it can be to get things to work if you are new to editing. Anyway, here it is..... ************************************************************************* This is a very easy way to set up a helicopter extraction if you know the location that you will be extracting from. I use this in missions where I will set up two or three pre-plotted extraction points for the players to use. What it does is allows you to call in a Dustoff to a predetermined location using the radio commands. The helo will come into the lz area and land. Once on the ground the helo will NOT take off till you send another radio message. The helo will then lift off and extract team. Once at a base, the helo will land and shut off engines. This can be used to insert respawned players as well by simply boarding the helo before requesting the dustoff at the LZ. The helo will then, take off and insert team to the LZ. At the bottom is a download that has the mission files and a example MPmission. ************************************************************************ Steps: 1. Create a H landing pad and name it "LZ_Base1" 2. Create a empty helicopter and name it "helo1" 3. Create a pilot and name them "pilot1" (you can create a co-pilot as well, just be sure to group it to the pilot) 4. Create a trigger with Axis: 0 x 0, Activation: Radio Alpha, Repeatedly, Type: Switch (this deletes the wp it will be sync'd to), Text: LZ_Base1, on Act: hint "Dustoff for LZ Alpha requested"; 5. Set the following waypoints for the pilot: WP1: Hold (place near helo1) WP2: GET IN NEAREST effects: Text in text block type "Dustoff for LZ Alpha in route" (place on top of helo1) WP3: MOVE set speed:Full On Act: helo1 flyInHeight 25; (place close to helo1 in the line of departure) Set more way points to get to LZ. (we will place wp on LZ Alpha later) 6. Back at pilot location, sync trigger with the Hold Waypoint. 7. Create Landing Zone for helo1 at desired location. Name it "LZ_Alpha" (I use H (invisible)) 8. Last way point before landing needs to have speed set to "LIMITED" and the Behavior set to "CARELESS" (This slows helo down, and looks more realistic because it does not make that high climb right on top of the LZ as the AI pilot raises the nose to slow the bird before landing) (The careless prevents the helo from not landing because of enemy fire, GREAT FOR HOT LZ's) 9. Using the pilot, make a way point and place it on the new LZ set the type to LOAD, On Act: helo1 land "LZ_Alpha"; 10. Right next to the LOAD Way point, make a way point and use the type HOLD 11. Create a trigger named "Dustoff" with Axis 0x0, activation: Radio Juliet, Repeatedly, Type: Switch(this deletes the hold wp it will be sync'd to, thus making the helo lift off), Text: LZ_Alpha, on Act: hint "Lifting off now!"; (You can use this very same trigger if you have several LZ's, just sync each hold wp to this trigger) (The o,o,o radio command will tell the pilot to "Take Off". This eliminates the need for all that complicated scripting to tell the bird when everybody is on board) 12. Syc the trigger to the last HOLD way point. 13. After the Hold WP, now set WP's back to LZ_Base to land. 14. The first wp after the LZ should be set to speed: FULL and in on Act: helo1 flyInHeight 25; 15. Once again right before landing set the last WP to a speed of LIMITED. 16. The last way point is set to Type: Unload, On Act: dostop helo1; helo1 land "LZ_Base"; Here is the neat part, this whole thing can be cycled! If you set a respawn marker near the LZ_Base, you can add a couple more way points and use the same bird to insert you back onto LZ Alpha. 17. To set helo1 to repeat in a loop create next WP and set type: GET OUT , place on LZ Base 18. Make a WP set type: GET IN NEAREST, Place on LZ Base near helo. 19 Make a WP set type:CYCLE , important part, Place this WP right on top of the trigger near the pilot that request LZ Alpha Dustoff. It is the HOLD WP that has the first trigger syc'd to it. I hope this little set up helps somebody. In the example download there is also a trigger and game logic to set a smoke on the LZ automaticly. Helo_extraction Example Download If you will, please come to www.black-company.org and let me know if this helped you any.

Great script! I know I wont get a answer from Murklor but maybe somebody has a idea. I am trying to get a squad to spawn using the murk_spawn.sqf. I want them to spawn in certain building positions and stay in that position. IE... on a balcony or rooftop. I have the building ID and position numbers, and using this code in the init of the individual soldiers: this setPos ((position this nearestObject 8389) buildingPos 8); this disableai "MOVE"; the code for the sqd ldr is nul = [this,trigger1,"once"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; The spawn is working great till I place a couple of soldiers in a building with the setPos command. This causes the spawns to double! I get two soldiers at the position instead of one, and one stays the other moves away... Any fix?

I still can not get these scripts to work by themselves. The mortar script and the FO script. When I use both, it works wonderfully. But separate them and nothing works.

Ashram, could I ask a favor of you? I need to do two things with the script. I can not get it right. I need the chat to stop. I tried to delete the player chat but it stops working. I also need to see if I can get the mortars to fire smoke. Is this possible.

Ashram, Great Script!!! Nouber Nou, The FO script compliments this script wonderfully! Great job to you as well... My hat goes off to ya both. I am new to editing and mission making and your simple way of showing things along with providing examples was very clear for me to understand. and believe me, I have a hard time understanding most of the scripting. Although I am learning fast with the help of folks like you two. I now have a very nice arty option for missions if I need it. Keep up the good work. Hey CaptainBravo! They do work together! ---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 11:49 PM ---------- Ashram, I am getting the following error when I try to add ammo.. No entry 'bil\config.bin/CfgMagazines.2b14_82mm'. Any suggestion?

OK here is how I got it to work as a IED. Make a trigger: axis:8x8 activation: anything but a civilian present once name:trig1 Condition: on act: Create a civilian car Name: car1 initialization: when whoever you have set in the trigger to activate gets within 8 meters, "Kaboom!"

I have been searching these threads for a solution to my problem and thought maybe in the Mod section somebody might have a answer. I have steam version of ARMA Combined Operations. Problem is that when running OA it will recognize A2 but no Mods. How do I install these mods to where OA will recognize them?
