well i impress my self amazing thanks guys i got it.

cheers guys

thanks twirly that works but a strange thing is happening ill test the mission and i get the altimeter then ill quite then go to test again and it works then quit then try test again and then no altimeter the only way to get it back seems to be to copy and past the altimeter script in again. Pretty strange hey. it wouldnt be were i am placing the nul = [] execVM "HOG_scripts\Altimeter.sqf"; line in the paradrop script would it.

twirly got a question for you mate ive added a Altimeter script so you know how high you are but i just cant seem to get it to execute i tried Para.sqf if (not Halo_Active) then { Haloed = false; Halo_Active = true; Halo_Wait = 60; hintSilent "Click on the map where you'd like to HALO."; openMap [true,false]; onMapSingleClick "player setPos _pos; [player, 1000] exec 'ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs';Haloed = true;hint 'Don''t forget to open your chute!'"; waitUntil {Haloed}; onMapSingleClick ""; openMap [false,false]; nul = [] execVM "HOG scripts\Altimeter.sqf"; //[color="#FF0000"]this is what i added to execute it. doesnt fire thought[/color] while {Halo_Wait > 0} do { Halo_Wait = Halo_Wait - 1; sleep 1; }; Halo_Active = false; } else { hint format ["You will have to wait %1 seconds for it to be available!!",Halo_Wait]; }; Altimeter.sqf while {((getposATL player)select 2) > 1} do { hintsilent format ["Altimeter: %1", round (getPosATL player select 2)]; }; if (((getposATL player)select 2) < 1) then { hintsilent ""; }; Dont supose you know the solution mate.

Mikie Boy So if i understand correctly i place _unit addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled",{(_this select 1) spawn Scorekeeper;}]; in either the players init or the objects init then i reate a script called MPKilled and add scorekeeper = { if (side _this == west) then {westpoints = + 25;public variable "westpoints"; eastpoints = - 25; Public Variable "eastpoints";} else {do the reverse!}; }; is that correct.

awsome thanks mate again your a legend ill try this tonight ;)

cheers mate ill have a look ---------- Post added at 21:47 ---------- Previous post was at 21:40 ---------- Yeah its just blowing up 1 object per task

Sweet man that works perefctly. Dont spouse you have a solution to my last issue found at http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?134429-Point-system ;)

man your an absalute legend thanks mate if you lived near id shout you a carton ;)

thanks twirly but nothing is happening with that one. ---------- Post added at 17:03 ---------- Previous post was at 16:53 ---------- Ok so this works but the timer comes up saying wait for blah blah with a count down timer but you can still click on the map and halo drop. in flag this addAction["HALO","flagpoleHALO.sqs"]; flagpoleHALO.sqs if (halo_active == false) then { _first = _this select 0 _text = "To Lazy to walk!!! well single left click on the map to mark drop position and hold on for a =HARDCORE= paraDrop..." ?(format["%1",_first] == "Again"): TitleText [_text,"Plain"] ;forceMap true #Marker_1 onMapSingleClick "_StartLocation = player setPos _pos;[_StartLocation] exec ""Halo1.sqs"";onMapSingleClick """""; execVM "halotimer.sqf"; } else { hint " you will have to wait for it to be available."; }; Halo1.sqs [Player,1700]exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs" exitWith halotimer.sqf halo_active = true; _timer = 360; while {_timer != 0} do { _text = hintSilent format["Halo unavailable - Wait %1 seconds",_timer]; _timer = _timer - 1; sleep 1; }; hint "Halo available"; halo_active = false; Any ideas would it be the fact that the halo timer is sqf and the flagpoleHALO is sqf

awsome thanks mate really appreciate that. ---------- Post added at 10:50 ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 ---------- awsome thanks mate really appreciate that.

sadly out of my league. cheers guys.

when it crashes do you get the error RscTitles already in use or something if so inside the r3f folders you will find a file that has RscTitles in it delet the info inside that file then add it to your descrition RscTitles also delet the path to that file. ill have a look later and type the exact instructions.

DAYZ will be lucky to last 2 months with the amount of players it has, its a fad that is crap. Arma series is and always will be mil sim. If anything we should maybe thank DAYZ as in the end it might clear our servers from the non serious mil sim gamer as they will most likely stay on the Dayz servers and let the rest of us serious Arma gamers get on with what we love the most. Xeno dont give up mate your work has been one of the best for the arma series, i mean bis them selves couldnt even bring out such a great multi player mode. At the end of the day Xeno you will always know that your Domi molded the way of Arma multiplayer missions. Any way just had to get that of my chest p.s Dayz SUCKS On Arma

How do i add different tasks per side i.e i have a tvt mission where west have to destroy a scud and east have to help the ai defend the scud. i call it by case 19: { ["Task20","Artillery Radar","SOCOMD have assigned us to destroy a Rusian Artillery radar located on Skalisty Island, If we can destroy this target we will limit the enemy's ability to call effective artillery strikes against UN forces.",true,["MissionAO",getmarkerpos "task20","flag","ColorRed"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add; nul = [] execVM "missions\task20.sqf"; player sideChat "SOCOMD have assigned us to destroy a Rusian Artillery radar located Skalisty Island, If we can destroy this target we will limit the enemy's ability to call effective artillery strikes against UN forces" }; now that gives the task to all teams but i whish for it to give a different description to eachteam == west to destroy the scud == east to defend.

Gday all, just wondering if any 1 knows how i can reset ammo count on a static weapon every 5 mins i.e i have a m119 artillry gun at base and wish to have the ammo reset to full amount every 5 mins so a player can use it then run out of ammo but in 5 mins time it will have ammo again. any help will be great cheers =Mason=

i am wondering if any 1 can help, I have found this script floating around google Marker.sqf _temp = _this select 0; _varname = vehicleVarName _temp; _unit = objnull; createMarkerLocal [_varname, [0,0]]; _varname setMarkerShape "ICON"; _varname setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"; _varname setMarkerSize [1,1]; _varname setMarkerType "mil_dot"; while {true} do { waitUntil { call compile format ["_unit = %1",_varname]; alive _unit; }; while {alive _unit} do { if (side _unit == west) then { _varname setMarkerColor "ColorGreen"; }; if (side _unit == east) then { _varname setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; }; _varname setMarkerDir getDir _unit; _varname setMarkerPos getPos _unit; sleep 0.5; }; _varname setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"; sleep 5; }; it is called by placing the following in the players unit init. nul=[this] execVM "HOG scripts\marker.sqf"; It works fine to show a player marker on the map BUT i am wondering how would i also get the players name to show next to the marker. like in domination and

awsom thanks bigshot.

awsome thanks mate really appreciated trying this now on a morter ---------- Post added at 19:50 ---------- Previous post was at 19:20 ---------- Works perfect thank you ;) ---------- Post added at 19:59 ---------- Previous post was at 19:50 ---------- Pelham just while ive got you here would you now the solution to this mate. i have this script to place a marker on the map with players name it works fine but when a player leaves the server its marker stays in the last poition of the player on the map so after a while we have heaps of markers on the map script marker.sqf waituntil {(alive player)}; _unit = player; _nameP = name _unit; _markerobjp = createMarker [_namep,[0,0]]; _markerobjp setMarkerShape "ICON"; _markerobjp setMarkerType "mil_dot"; _markerobjp setMarkerColor "ColorGreen"; _markerobjp setMarkerText _nameP; _markerobjp setMarkerSize [1,1]; while {alive _unit} do { _markerobjp setmarkerdir (getdir _unit); _markerobjp setMarkerPos (getPos _unit); _markerobjp setMarkerText _nameP; sleep 1; }; deleteMarker _markerobjp; [] execVM "HOG scripts\marker.sqf"; exit; called by [] execVM "HOG scripts\marker.sqf"; in the main init.sqf would you know how to make it delete the players marker when they disconect. cheers,

Thank you PELHAM again you have been a god send ;) 1 question ill tak it the sleep 300 is the time before the script runs next to reload the m119

i tried the camps but they only seemed to spawn like 1 group of enemy ai who never really travelled further than 100mtrs from the base maybe i diddnt set them correctly. any ideas what i done wrong. ---------- Post added at 16:49 ---------- Previous post was at 16:01 ---------- got it.

I am wondering how i can restart / re activate a DAC zone once the DAC units in the zone are running low meaning almost all dead.

would not load on the server mate.
