ok so I need to check to see if 1 or more east ai units are near a mkr. The way I tried is _town = _this select 0; _east_units = {alive _x && side _x == EAST} count allUnits; if (({(_x distance _town) <200} count _east_units) > 0) then { }; but obviously its not working as its returning a number not an object so how can I achieve this

ok so i am trying to set the spawning ai with better skills without using an addon i have tried this way if (isServer) then { _setkills = 1; while {true} do { if (side _x == east) then { aimingAccuracy[] = {0, 0.16, 1, 0.20}; aimingShake[] = {0, 0.18, 1, 0.22}; aimingSpeed[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; courage[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; commanding[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; endurance[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; general[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; reloadSpeed[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; spotDistance[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; spotTime[] = {0, 1, 1, 1}; } foreach allunits; sleep 5; }; }; but i am unsure if it is working correctly or if having this loop running every 5 secounds would degrade server performance. also tried this way but am unsure if this gets any of the spawned east units mid game if (isServer) then { if (side _x == east) then { _x setskill ["aimingAccuracy",0.05]; _x setskill ["spotDistance",1.00]; _x setskill ["spotTime",0.99]; _x setskill ["courage",0.99]; _x setskill ["commanding",0.99]; _x setskill ["aimingShake",0.15]; _x setskill ["aimingSpeed",0.99]; } foreach allunits; }; any ideas

that will suffice if you like using triggers ;)

easy to count enemy units then end if enemy numbers are less then specific number use this as is while {true} do { _totalEnemy = {alive _x && side _x == EAST} count allUnits; if (_totalEnemy < 11) then //change here the number of enemy units alive to end mission its set at 11 or below { player sidechat format["The enemy are retreating Well done boys", _totalEnemy ]; sleep 30; endmission "END2"; }; sleep 60 // this will check enemy units every 1 minute }; ---------- Post added at 18:05 ---------- Previous post was at 17:58 ---------- OK so also to include the enemy that are moving away from the task area just create an array of your enemy units and run a distance check on them and if they are a certain distance away just kill them // AO is a variable for thye position the enmy are attacking or target area so place an object down there and name it AO or something or even a marker is fine //marker example _opsAREA = getMarkerPos "yourmarkername"; //now change AO to _opsAREA if (_x distance AO <1200) then { } foreach MyEnemyArray; //this is your enemy array ---------- Post added at 18:08 ---------- Previous post was at 18:05 ---------- // AO is a variable for thye position the enmy are attacking or target area so place an object down there and name it AO or something or even a marker is fine //marker example _opsAREA = getMarkerPos "yourmarkername"; //now change AO to _opsAREA if (_x distance AO <1200) then { _x setDamage 1; //this will kill them } foreach units enemysquad2 AND enemysquad3 AND enemysquad4 AND enemysquad5;

ive never used the arma artillery without code but i am pretty sure you have to link the artillery gunners or batteries to the artillery module

dont have the time right now but try making the local variable a global variable like this a local looks like this _runallahakkbar a glkobal looks like this runallahakkbar not no underscore that way it can be read from anywhere. you most likely knew that but i dont know what you know so just trying to help unless your using _runallahakkbar somewhere else for different reasons then making it a global will not effect anything ---------- Post added at 09:44 ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 ---------- out of curiosity are you using show error hints then checking your error rpt log FOUND HERE C:\Documents and Settings\"YOUR USERNAME"\Application Data\ArmA 2 OA; http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?137306-How-to-check-my-RPT-log

No Use this hint "MISSION IS WON IF ALL BUT 10 OR LESS OF THE ENEMY OCCUPATION UNITS ARE ELIMINATED."; while {true} do { sleep 10; _agrps = (agrp1 + agrp2 + agrp3 + agrp4 + agrp5 + agrp6 + agrp7 + agrp8 + agrp9 + agrp10); _acount = {alive _x} count units _agrps; if (_acount > 11) then { hint format ["THERE ARE %1 ENEMY UNITS LEFT TO KILL", _acount]; } Else { If (_acount < 11) then { hint "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"; }; }; }; now im a bit skeptical about _agrps = (agrp1 + agrp2 + agrp3 + agrp4 + agrp5 + agrp6 + agrp7 + agrp8 + agrp9 + agrp10); [color="#FF0000"]_acount = {alive _x} count units _agrps;[/color] Just let me know ---------- Post added at 23:58 ---------- Previous post was at 23:56 ---------- Yeah you gotta excuse me ive been codeing for 16 hrs straight on my latest pc program so my brain is a bit fried ATM lol

hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm cant see no code there to make the unit fire show us that bit and we can help.

yeah for a starters from a quick look units Arma already uses units so you cant use that as your global variable name. thats going to cause conflicts also i could have missed it but i cant see anywhere after you spawn your units where you add them to the units array it should look like this to add them _driver = _group createUnit ["TK_Soldier_AT_EP1", _pos, [], 0, "FORM"]; _driver moveInDriver _truck; units set[(count units ), _driver ]; bit late here and eyes are hanging out my head ill look a bit better tomoz

you can shorten all that massive nest of if statement for enemy count with hint by using this _totalEnemy = {alive _x && side _x == EAST} count allUnits; if (_totalEnemy > 11) then { player sidechat format["THERE ARE %1 ENEMY UNITS LEFT TO KILL", _totalEnemy ]; } Else { If (_totalEnemy < 11) then { player sidechat format["THERE ARE %1 Mission is compleate", _totalEnemy ]; //call end mission code now }; }; as far counting kills for each player arma give me 10

Ok sadly i just found out over at Armaholic that Reezo has left the community and taken his code work with him :( Basicaly i am needing a copy of the loudspeaker script he released a while ago has any 1 got a copy if so can you please place a link for me cheers ;).

thanks mate ;)

I have a issue, I am spawning a vehicle and trying to add a image along the vehicle for all players to see but only the player who buys the vehicle can see the image how can I make it so all players can see the image. I tried. if (_classname == "SUV_UN_EP1") then { _classname setobjecttexture [0,"suvpolice.paa"]; _classname setobjecttexture [1,"suvpolice.paa"]; }; and if (_classname == "SUV_UN_EP1") then { [nil, nil,"per",// // _classname setobjecttexture [0,"suvpolice.paa"],// _classname setobjecttexture [1,"suvpolice.paa"]// // ] call RE; };

That did not work mate the issue I get is the player that buys the car can see the images on the car but no other players can this is what I tried from you cuel _classname = _this select 0; newvehicle = _classname createVehicle %4; if (_classname == "SUV_UN_EP1") then { [nil,nil,"per",rSETOBJECTTEXTURE,newvehicle,0,"graphics\suvpolice.paa"] call RE; [nil,nil,"per",rSETOBJECTTEXTURE,newvehicle,1,"graphics\suvpolice.paa"] call RE; };

yeah I changed the ref to object for this post its actually _veh which comes from _v = _this select 0; cheers cuel ill try that ;)

how would I create an array of all nearby locations using _location = nearestLocations [getPosATL center_pos, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; and then call for a one of the locations at random selection. Then once I used that location remove it from the array so I can not use that location again. also when I call for the location I want to give players a hint with the locations name like _RandomTownPosition = whatever the town selection is hint parseText format["<t color=""#80FF00"">New Task Assigned at %1",_RandomTownPosition]; I know its a lot to ask for but honestly I just spent 7 hrs trying to get it and failed.

FUNNY lol I just signed in to say I just thought and tried that and guess what it WORKS :) Thanks any way Das and thanks to all that helped ;)

DOESNT WORK I tried defines.sqf --- launched by in my init call compile preprocessfile "common\defines.sqf"; AO_locations = nearestLocations [getPosATL Map_center, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; task.sqf if (AO_locations == 0) then { hint "GAME OVER"; } else { // my task code in here }; I get this error Error ==: Type Array, expected Number,String,Object,Side,Group,Text,Config entry,Display (dialog),Control,Team member,Task,Location

SWEET cheers man BUT does this look right to you // then say to end the game when no locations remain can I use if (AO_locations =0) then { //code to end game }; or should it be // then say to end the game when no locations remain can I use if (AO_locations ==0) then { //code to end game };

cheers guys I think I got it from your help ;) ill just check in my defines.sqf I have AO_locations = nearestLocations [getPosATL Map_center, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; then my code //tested and this first part works _location = AO_locations call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _locationPos = (position _location); _locationName = (text _location); /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// BELOW IS NOT TESTED JUST ASKING /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //now later on when I need to can I use the following to remove the used location from AO_locations AO_locations = AO_locations - [_location]; // then say to end the game when no locations remain can I use if (AO_locations =0) then { //code to end game };

ok so I am trying to select a random town using nearestLocations create a marker on it then give players a hint containing the selected towns name. I found I can do it not using random like _position = nearestLocations [getPosATL center_pos, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; _town = _position select 0; _m = createMarker ["test",getPos _town]; _m setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; _m setMarkerSize [250,250]; _m setMarkerBrush "Solid"; _m setMarkerAlpha 0.7; _m setMarkerColor "ColorYellow"; hint parseText format["<t color=""#80FF00"">New Task At %1,",text _town]; but when I try with random town selection it fails i.e _position = nearestLocations [getPosATL center_pos, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000]; _RandomTownPosition = position (_position select (floor (random (count _position)))); _town = _RandomTownPosition select 0; _m = createMarker ["test",_RandomTownPosition]; _m setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; _m setMarkerSize [250,250]; _m setMarkerBrush "Solid"; _m setMarkerAlpha 0.7; _m setMarkerColor "ColorYellow"; hint parseText format["<t color=""#80FF00"">New Task At %1",text _town]; it says type number expected string location

when I remove count like _RandomTownPosition = position (_location select (floor (random (_location)))); I get this error error random type array expected number

I should off named it getting town name using random nearestLocations. As that is what im trying to do

_town = _this select 0; this is a invisible h done by town_object = { _positions = _this select 0; _obj = createVehicle ["HeliHEmpty", _positions, [], 0, "NONE"]; [_obj ] spawn Town_monitor; }; { _pos = position _x; m = createMarker [format ["mrk%1",random 100000],_pos]; m setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; m setMarkerSize [250,250]; m setMarkerBrush "Solid"; m setMarkerAlpha 0.7; m setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; [m] spawn town_object; Town_monitor ---- in wich im stuck _town = _this select 0; while {true} do { ////////////// _units = nearestObjects [_town, ["Car","Tank","Air","Man"], 200]; { if(_x isKindOf "Man" && side _x == east) then { if (_x distance _town <200) then { _town setMarkerColor west_near; }; }; } foreach _units; //////////////// sleep 10 };
