hi Thomsonb do you think you will do a flashpoint version for iron front ? it would be amazing if you did. its great to see all the new features your adding to the missions mp will be superb. its funny i messed around with your missions myself for my own use awhile back and had respawn car bombs and random artillery strikes. its great to see a lot of these features being put into the missions. do you have iron front if not id consider buying it for you. thanks for the many hours of arma :)

Hi thomsonb ,your flashpoint missions are great.for my own use i have been adding bits to your great missions.i have added a spawn into nearest east or nearest west option when killed.ive been playing this way for a while now and it keeps you close to the action.from where you are killed the script checks outwards at 200 or so meters at a time for a suitable ai to spawn into. heres an example of what i did for the west spawn REBORN =0 ; if(REBORN ==0)then{ _trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player]; _trg setTriggerArea[200,200,0,true]; _trg setTriggerActivation["WEST","PRESENT",true]; _rab = player; sleep 1; _blokes = (list _trg) - [player]; deleteVehicle _trg; if(count _blokes > 0)then{ REBORN =1 ; hint "back in the battle within 200 meters "; selectPlayer (_blokes call pickRandom); deleteVehicle _rab; [player] join (createGroup (side player)); comAct = player addAction ["Commands","commands.sqf",[],0,false,true]; dresAct = player addAction ["Apply Field Dressing", "fieldDressing.sqf", [], 10, true, true, "", "(_target == player) && ((getDammage _target) > 0) && fieldDressing"]; }}; if(REBORN ==0)then{ _trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player]; _trg setTriggerArea[300,300,0,true]; _trg setTriggerActivation["WEST","PRESENT",true]; _rab = player; sleep 1; _blokes = (list _trg) - [player]; deleteVehicle _trg; if(count _blokes > 0)then{ REBORN =1 ; hint "back in the battle within 300 meters "; selectPlayer (_blokes call pickRandom); deleteVehicle _rab; [player] join (createGroup (side player)); comAct = player addAction ["Commands","commands.sqf",[],0,false,true]; dresAct = player addAction ["Apply Field Dressing", "fieldDressing.sqf", [], 10, true, true, "", "(_target == player) && ((getDammage _target) > 0) && fieldDressing"]; }}; if(REBORN ==0)then{ _trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player]; _trg setTriggerArea[500,500,0,true]; _trg setTriggerActivation["WEST","PRESENT",true]; _rab = player; sleep 1; _blokes = (list _trg) - [player]; deleteVehicle _trg; if(count _blokes > 0)then{ REBORN =1 ; hint "back in the battle within 500 meters "; selectPlayer (_blokes call pickRandom); deleteVehicle _rab; [player] join (createGroup (side player)); comAct = player addAction ["Commands","commands.sqf",[],0,false,true]; dresAct = player addAction ["Apply Field Dressing", "fieldDressing.sqf", [], 10, true, true, "", "(_target == player) && ((getDammage _target) > 0) && fieldDressing"]; }}; if(REBORN ==0)then{ _trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player]; _trg setTriggerArea[800,800,0,true]; _trg setTriggerActivation["WEST","PRESENT",true]; _rab = player; sleep 1; _blokes = (list _trg) - [player]; deleteVehicle _trg; if(count _blokes > 0)then{ REBORN =1 ; hint "back in the battle within 800 meters "; selectPlayer (_blokes call pickRandom); deleteVehicle _rab; [player] join (createGroup (side player)); comAct = player addAction ["Commands","commands.sqf",[],0,false,true]; dresAct = player addAction ["Apply Field Dressing", "fieldDressing.sqf", [], 10, true, true, "", "(_target == player) && ((getDammage _target) > 0) && fieldDressing"]; }}; if(REBORN ==0)then{hint "No unit detected WITHIN 800 TRY AGAIN "; thanks for the great missions .

thanks for your help :) this is what i have spent 4 or 5 hours over the last few nights trying to do. thanks also for the tip on keeping overhead expense low makes sense :)

Hi I have a few scripts that work great if i put the code in the ini line of the units. what i have been trying to do is have these scripts launched from a trigger. for example i have a trigger that is activated by east present . i list all units within the trigger radius then try running the script for each unit in the list. i have spent many hours trying many things but have had no luck so far. any help appreciated. cheers
