kbtell in intro.sqs (camera) - BUG?
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
i have kbtell set up correctly, it is fading out properly but this is my problem: campaign structure: 1. Intro (camscripting+kbtell) 2. Intro for mission 2 (all kbtell texts from previous mission (1.Intro) get displayed at once :confused:) 3. Mission 2 no one else experienced troubles with kbtell in intros? this also happens when i preview the intro in editor - i always have a huge block of text from the previous previews on my screen. -
kbtell in intro.sqs (camera) - BUG?
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
woot? virus warning?! i think zipper5 is right about that :) settitletext ""; is not working for me - do you mean "titleText ["", "PLAIN"]" ? -
Problem with PlaySound Command
PeterBitt replied to sick1's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
sorry for bumping this old thread, but better than open a new one :p is there any solution to this mentioned loudness bug with playsound? no matter wether i use mono or stereo files, the sound always has massive differences in sound volume everytime it plays. are we doing something wrong or is that a known issue? i did not found a ticket on CIT for this. edit: nevermind... -
i would like to use "bis_ew_fnc_infoplace" wich is supposed to give these cool location hints from EW campaign. unfortunately iam not able to get it to work :( i get this error message: "Recource Title RscInfoPlace not found" the sound is playing but no text is shown. i tried many different variants like this: sqf = ["South-East Chernarus","South-East Chernarus"] spawn bis_ew_fnc_infoplace; thx in advance!

Simple First Aid Module
PeterBitt replied to MrStregatto's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
i still cant get it to work correctly :( either the units are invincible or, when using "this setVariable ["BIS_allowDamage",true]", the unit seems to have more health but is dying instead of falling uncontious... the nice blood-screen effects are working good. still no documentation on this? -

BI Developer's Blog: An interesting new entry
PeterBitt replied to Undeceived's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
its only good for bis to expand their portfolio, and making another simulation is also a good thing for them because they already have a good name in this sector. i just hope that this wont cut down the arma 2 support :o and i scincerely hope that this game will sell well enough to finance ArmA III! -

haha this topic is awesome :D i realy like the idea about some korean DLC, i hope you are right about that! -
one thing that arma 2 does better than OA in harvest red campaign is, that for example cooper has a different radio voice than with arma 2. his conversations are with the usual cooper voice but when you use the radio, he has one of the new OA speakers. if i remember it right...

scripted waypoints !? (i must be stupid...)
PeterBitt posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
hi, iam frustrated, i searched for hours and tried different variants but i cant get scripted waypoints to work with my editor placed group :mad: i use the following script, wich strangely works perfect with groups created via "creategroup" but my editor placed group is just not moving: wp4 = bluegrp1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "bg1wp2", 1]; wp4 setWaypointType "MOVE"; wp4 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; wp4 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; wp4 setWaypointFormation "DIAMOND"; wp4 setWaypointStatements ["true", ""]; my problem is that i have no understanding about scripting, i dont know when i have to use "_" or all the brakets and i dont know wether to call the script via "exec" or "execVM" ... and must it be an "sqf" or "sqs"? till now its an "sqs" wich i called via: [] exec "scripts\WaypointTest.sqs"; a little hint on what iam missing would be much appreciated. thx for all the help i allready got from you mates! -
scripted waypoints !? (i must be stupid...)
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
with your help i was able to execute the scripts from columdrum´s mission and finaly made it! thank you all for your quick help! -
scripted waypoints !? (i must be stupid...)
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
@columdrum: thx for the demo mission but there seem to be no triggers to call the scripts in the mission? now i have this setup in my mission: WaypointTest.sqf _wp4 = bluegrp1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "bg1wp2", 1]; _wp4 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp4 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _wp4 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; _wp4 setWaypointFormation "DIAMOND"; bluegrp1 setCurrentWaypoint _wp4; Trigger [] execvm "WaypointTest.sqf"; i get the massage that "type script, awaits nothing" when i try to add this to the "on activation" field, so i tried: [] exec "WaypointTest.sqf"; now the script is getting executed but the group is still not moving to waypoint :j: if you maybe could re-upload your mission with the triggers, i would be happy. -
scripted waypoints !? (i must be stupid...)
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
thx, i tried to get it to work as a "sqf" and to call it via "execVM" but i cant even get the sqf to start (a little bit of sqs-scripting skills is all i have :confused_o:). would it be to much to ask wether someone could post the two codes from the first post as a working version :o trying to figure out the biwiki pages is very hard or even impossible with my low english and scripting skills... -
hi, i remember earlier versions of arma 2 had the nice feature that the radio comandos/talk became direct talk when you where close to the unit that talks. the unit actualy moved its lips and the speech came from the unit and not the radio - just like the new conversation system works. was that feature canceled for performance reasons or should i add a ticket to cit? this realy annoys me because it increased immersion greatly and helped to identify with my teammates ... especialy missing it in harvest red or pmc campaign :( i hope one can understand this bad english

fn_vbs_doMoveEx for ArmA II ?
PeterBitt posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
i was wondering if there is something like this http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/fn_vbs_doMoveEx_%28VBS2%29 aviable for arma 2 too? currently i use http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/commandMove wich lets the units return to formation everytime they reached the destination:( my goal is to script move commands from the leader to get some nice flanking manouvers with radio chatter. i have the first harvest red mission in mind, where miles stays on overwatch while the team speads up to flank the position. -
fn_vbs_doMoveEx for ArmA II ?
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
i cant thank you two enough! success! the advantage of SaOks script is the radio communications, its exactly like i wanted it to be. but thanks to neokika too because this looks very useful for my mission editing future - this function thing might be of use in many situations. thx! thx! thx! ---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ---------- @SaOk: i tried to get two teammates to move to the waypoint as a sub-squad with the following code: _nul = [[p2,p3], position marker1, 0, "MIDDLE"] execVM "command.sqf"; is this the right way to do so? unfortunately the will return back to formation when done... when i use the script on a single unit it just works perfect! -
fn_vbs_doMoveEx for ArmA II ?
PeterBitt replied to PeterBitt's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
thx for the replies, unfortunatelly iam a complete noob when it comes to scripting... @neokika can you tell me how to use that function pls? i have to make a .sqf file with the code but i dont know how to call it :o it frustrates me that after ~6 years of mission editing i still can not understand the most simple scripts, copy and paste is all i can do ... poor edit: i thought that i could get SaOks scripts done, but i dont know what i have to put in the red space: _nul = [groupmember name, position to move,some number, unitpos at pos] execVM "script.sqf";
