Different respawn method for different side?

[Different respawn method for different side?]

Try this:

AI respawn group patrol area using UPS

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6540

You can do what your looking to do with that have the us only respawn once and then the

east respawn as many as times you want them there.

its very easy to use, theres other version like:

AI vehicle respawn patrol area using UPS

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6543

or

AI respawn move to map position script

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6198

hope that helps.

Hey thanks for the help :)

But just to be curious about the respawn thing, can i do that simply in the Description file? Regardless the ability of AI to continue their waypoints.

[Different respawn method for different side?]

As the topic, how to make different respawn method for different side?

My idea is US soldiers have to search for a target to destroy behind enemy line.

I want to set EAST soldier's respawn as BASE so that they keep appearing in the operation area.

However, there will be no respawn for US soldiers.

How can i make that?

I only know how to make all units and sides respawn in the same method.

Thanks

P.S. will the respawned AI continue their waypoints?

[Help with ONMAPSINGLECLICK command and WAITUNTIL]

Using NAP's code here is the SQF version....

clicked = false;

hint "Click on map test";
onMapSingleClick "player setpos _pos; clicked=true; onMapSingleClick """""; 

waituntil {clicked};

hint "End of script";

Thanks twirly. But i think we don't need the second onMapSingleClick in the quotation marks , do we?

As in sqs I do not have that and the script works well.

[Help with ONMAPSINGLECLICK command and WAITUNTIL]

try this instead

clicked = false

hint "Click on map test"

onMapSingleClick " player setpos _pos; clicked = true "

@clicked

hint "End of script"

exit

Btw, my script above is in sqs format so you have to save your script as filename.sqs

I know .sqf is more powerful but i am used to use language for sqs and sqs is more simpler to me :P

["Transport Unload" doesnt work?]

Is there a waypoint or something I could write into the initialization-box to make the heli land without making the crew ejecting?

You are still talking the unload problem are you?

If you want the heli land, just place a helipad nearby.

The main points: Are your men and the heli in the same group?

If they are in the same group, you should use a unload wp for the heli. If they are in separate groups, a transport unload wp is used for the heli.

This works everytime for me.

The wps can be place directly on helipad or somewhere close to it as AI heli will automatically land on nearby helipad if there is and necessary. (not too far away)

Hope i am answering your question cause i didnt follow the whole thread :P

[Grouping objects and units in editor]

sorry dude - nothing that i can tell you - to be honest the code supplied wont do you any harm -

_terrorsupportteam - after this line - that is where you can add your tents etc forexample..

_tent = "CampEast_EP1" createVehicle (_loc );

you can set direction but it will take a bit of working out for each one as they spawn randomly -

As a whole or separate groups to set their direction - _terrorsupportteam setdir 45; (face north east) or randomise it.

_angles = [25,45,65,180]; _randmoise = _angles select random 3; _terrorsupportteam setdir _angles;#

sorry cant be of any more help; i had a go in the editor but to be honest it would have taken loads of markers and triggers.

Look at this post here. What you need requires "object compositions".

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?88644-The-answer-how-to-create-your-custom-object-compositions&highlight=object+compositions

Even when you understand and can create the object compositions...then you will have to randomly select empty, flat places large enough to hold your compositions. That'll take a bit of scripting also I'm afraid.

Thanks man. I've tried to do it my way,,, it's like that:

I create a reference object (A1) with a placement radius 2000m

then i create other elements of the camp with specific dir and use "this setpos [((getpos A1 select 0)+/- x), ((getpos A1 select 1)+/- y),0]"

but as you guys said, it just require loads of work as i have to preview the position for each objects

maybe i'll just stick to your scripting method then :P

[Grouping objects and units in editor]

thanks,,,i haven't tested it yet,,,but seems the code can spawn units around the marker,,,

but wt if i also want to include some specific orientation which i can set in the editor but not just simply spawning units by script?

also i am new to scripting :P

so is there anyway i can do it in the editor with some simpler commands?

[Grouping objects and units in editor]

The idea is:

I want to create a enemy camp with some tents, fireplace and enemy units.

However, i dont want to give them a fixed position as i want players to search for the camp.

Therefore, i give all objects and units a placement radius say 2000m.

But as i do this, all the stuff will just scatter randomly in that 2000m parameter but not in the position i want them to be.

So is there any method to group all those objects and units so that they can appear as a group randomly in that 2000m parameter instead of scattering around individually?

Many thanks.

[HALO Problem in Multiplayer]

Use a trigger instead of the waypoint to call the drop.

I have tried that,,,still,,,my friend stays in the plane while my AI team and me executed the HALO script :(

Wt i did is create a trigger

Name: HALO

condition: HALO

On Act : [A1,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A2,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A3,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A4,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

so on..

When the plane arrive at a certain waypoint,,, HALO = true

Trigger is activated,, Me (host) and AI drop out but my friend still sits in the plane

Sometimes it might be easier to simply spawn the units mid HALO. It saves a lot of hassle.

it maybe,,,

but for my mission,,,cause the mission started in the base for players to pick their weapons from different crates. so if i halo and there are crates in battlefield behind enemy line,,,it looks odd

btw, it seems that its the client that cannot execute the script. even i put that in the init field of the unit so that it halo as it start, i am afraid that they still cant execute the script

[Display GroupID in Globalchat]

Thanks,,will try it later :)

[Display GroupID in Globalchat]

I'm making a mission with some AI conversation.

How do I display groupID of the unit in globalchat instead of just "Blufor" , "Independent", "Civilian"?

Moreover, it is possible for me to set name of the unit (not group ID) and use in sidechat?

[HALO Problem in Multiplayer]

Thanks for responding.

But after going through your codes, it seems that all player will just eject instead of HALO. In fact in my mission, all units can HALO except those played by client. Any script can help to solve this?

[HALO Problem in Multiplayer]

Hi,,

I have experienced a problem that when i host my coop mission,,,i have a waypoint of a plane to let all passenger HALO,,

the script i use is this one:

[A1,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A2,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A3,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

[A4,1500] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

so on..

When i test in editor, it works perfect. However, when i play with my friend,,whatever unit(A1-A4) he play,,,his unit just cannot HALO and stay in plane

Is this a problem with the client? How can i solve this?

Thanks
