Hey folks, i´m making a simple warfare mission on Jade Groove and i got some questions for the pros here. 1. All towns are controlled by resistance. I use UPSMON for random resistance Patrols inside and outside towns too, that works fine but how do i get bounty for killing them too? 2. How do i increase the number of normal town resistance units and how can i specify what units are spawning like tanks or light vehicles? 3. The supply points are gathering with the trucks but they only drive to the first town captured. Where can i define that HQ sends supply trucks to all captured towns? Thats all for now, hope someone can help me^^

Thanks Günter, that helped me out a bit. In the init_common.sqf is a entry with MAXPLAYERTEAMSIZE. Is there something similar for AI? I tried MAXAITEAMSIZE but that doesn´t change anything. My AI just won´t buy troops so i think its maybe related to that^^

Hi, i just made an Alpha test of my mission on a dedicated server, and i found out that a huge part of my scripts don´t work on dedicated. For example: The server spawns the objects in the correct position. But they can be destroyed, so allowdamage false does not apply, and the addaction command doesn´t work either. How can i make it work for all clients?

Thank you F2k, it really just was the underscore... :rolleyes:

Hi, with the help of Clay, i added some bounty to enemy units. Here´s an example: All works pretty good, but ALL players on the server get the bounty and the message if one kills a enemy unit. In my init.sqf i have this line: playerw = ["wman1","wman2","wman3","wman4","wman5","wman6","wman7","wman8","wman9","wman10","wman11","wman12","wman13","wman14","wman15","wman16","wman17","wman18","wman19","wman20","wman21","wman22","wman23","wman24"]; How can i check what player killed the unit and allocate the bounty just to him?? Sry for the newb questions but i´m still learning^^

I want to add some quest in my multiplayer mission, this is a part of my player_actions script: That works well. But i have some problems in the quests.sqf: It should be, if player choose yes then act1 and act2 should be deleted and another titletext shows the mission task. And if player chooses no then act1 and act2 should be also deleted and titletext shows "Maybe later". How can i determine what action the player executed?

Maybe it´s a driver problem with your graphics card, sometimes i got this blackscreen too and thats related to my Graphics driver. The only solution i know is : press left ctrl+left shift+minus on numpad and type in flush.

Anyone got a clue why it won´t work??

Thanks for the fast reply, i´ll try that out immediately. I changed code to this: _man setVariable ["Bounty", 5, true]; _man addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { _man = _this select 0; _bounty = _man getVariable "Bounty"; _killer = this select 1; if (player == _killer) then { DCV_Bank = DCV_Bank + _bounty; player groupchat format ["You earned 5 Bounty for killing a Zombie!"]; }; }]; }; Now i get no more bounty at all.

Ok, i´ll look into that Multiplayer Framework. But where can i download it?

Hey guys, i want to modify the Item-Slots of the OA Backpacks for my Mission. But i´m stuck with the config.cpp. I don´t want to make a new addon for that, just want to modify the stats according to my mission. But the config.cpp doesn´t work. Here is what i have right now: Do i need to include the config.cpp in init.sqf or description.ext?? Or is something missing in the file?

I got helped with the setpos Command problem. So Objects are now on the position where i want them to be. But another problem occured with the safezone... The script itself works really good but if i´m leaving the safezone with a vehicle then i´m invulnerable, actually the vehicle itself takes the damage like it should out of safezone. Even if i´m getting out of the vehicle then i can get no damage at all. Heres the script: How do i have to modify the script so that players take regular damage if the leave the safezone on vehicles?

Hi guys, i´m making a mission where BLUFOR and OPFOR are able to take over Guerilla Outposts. Since i´m new to mission editing and scripting i could use a little help. I placed some Guerilla units in the Outposts and made a trigger. These are the triggers in the mission.sqm: These are working good so far. What i want now is that BLUFOR and OPFOR Groups are able to take over the outpost if they cleared it, and by activating a terminal its captured (after a amount of time, sort of progression bar like in some Capture and Hold missions). And when it´s captured it should be generating some money like towns in warfare mission. I hope you can help me here and give me some tips or examples. Ok. Got another problem here, i placed some safezones at the map with triggers. The problem is that all enemy units in the camp are invulnerable now. I used this type of trigger: class Item6 { position[]={5603.8721,10.848083,2218.3938}; a=400; b=400; rectangular=1; activationBy="ANY"; repeating=1; interruptable=1; type="SWITCH"; age="UNKNOWN"; name="safezone_1"; expActiv="{_x allowDamage false} forEach allunits;"; class Effects { }; }; I thought this would only affect the units in the trigger radius and not all units on the map. So how do i have to change the trigger??

The Problem with the setpos Problem is in this one: The objects are placed on the map but not at the exact postition. Even if i force them to with the "_vehicle setpos _pos" command.

Another Problem if i try to script the "safezone" trigger that i placed in the editor in the first time. I don´t understand why i just can´t use the same line from the editor for the script... _safez1 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector",[5492.9136,2219.6995]]; _safez1 setTriggerArea [400,400,0,false]; _safez1 setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT",true]; _safez1 setTriggerStatements ["round (time %1) ==1";"{if ( _x distance _safez1 <380) then {_x allowDamage false} else {_x allowDamage true}} forEach thislist", ""]; My other triggers in the script are working but this one isn´t.

I think the switch command is very helpful for that task. Thx for the tip. So right now i´m placing some objects on the map via script. The script for spawning units works fine, but i encounter some difficulties with spawning objects. They are placed on the map, but not at the exact position i want them to. Here´s part of script: Everything works fine, but something isn´t right with the _vehicle setpos _pos; I try to figure it out whats missing in that script...

Great, that works. I could have been so clever to try that out but...:eek: Thx

Ok, this is weird.. it works.. but only with BLUFOR and OPFOR units, if the player is CIV or GUER then still nothing happens. But thanks Mikie :) you really helped me with this.

Even if i write the captured.sqf just like you showed in the example, still nothing happens. Do i have to modify the init line of the object also??

Ok, i skipped the idea with the progression bar and made it bit easier for me. I putted a Notebook on a table in the camp, with this addaction ["Hack Terminal!!", "captured.sqf"] in init line. captured.sqf: if (side player == west) then {hint "BLUFOR captured an Outpost";}; if (side player == east) then {hint "OPFOR captured an Outpost.";}; if (side player == guer) then {hint "Guerillas captured an Outpost.";}; if (side player == civ) then {hint "Civs captured an Outpost.";}; The action menu pops up but the script should check what side the player is, but nothing is happen. Also i don´t want all players on the server to see that someone captured an outpost.

Cool thanks :D, i´ll try that immediately. Really nice, it performs flawlessly.

And i also need help with my first question pls...
