Simulate an EMP?

[Simulate an EMP?]

I've being thinking about simulating an EMP.

What i want the EMP to do:

1. MUST be multiplayer/JIP

2. Damage vehicles. Example 'destroy the rear rotor'

3. Empty Fuel on vehicles

4. Remove players GPS/maps/guns or ammo

5. Make the screen go White briefly

I know i am asking for a lot but i dont think it is that hard.

I need help espcially with 1,4 and 5.

[Enemies follow players?]

Okay. I will check the Zargmout mission out. Any tips on extracting to for use with another map ect?

[Enemies follow players?]

No. No Zombies here. Its gotta be possible by using the activate and deactivate DAC zone thing though

[Enemies follow players?]

Hello everybody.

I have experience using DAC and other AI spawning scripts.

Context

Making a mission involving players travelling anywhere on the map.

These players should have enemy AI near them at all times.

Problem

1.Placing enemies all over the map can cause map lag.

2.Placing DAC spawn triggers on every part of the map will take forever

I know about the DAC option to make the DAC area follow a player. However, AI units might lag behind the players.

Any help is appreciated

[Scripting and editing videos. May help some people!]

Moreover the descriptions have lots of useful links that new editors will find very useful.

Player feedback

'the most realistic thing i have played that is close to the real deal.'

'Honestly one of the most realistic missions I have played in a while'

'intense fighting going on! Most of the casualty's seemed to come from RPG's or IED's which is pretty realistic I would imagen'

'Best mission yet was awesome.'

Fairly basic revision. No special extras. Just a good realistic mission that works.

[Script Help - Set Destroying Vehicles as Objective]

The destroying car trigger is simple.

Its the Tasks (objectives) that may cause you problems.

I suggest you check this out: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?86206-Taskmaster-creating-and-updating-tasks-for-any-set-of-players-with-JIP-support

That is the one i use. Very simple to use.

As for the trigger

Condition: !alive carname && !alive carname1 && !alive carname2

On act: hint 'Add taskmaster tasks here'

[Center player map on first use]

Im not being funny but with orienteering you know where you start. Your objective is to find your way to the next flag from your current location the fastest way

[Trigger enemies with waypoints and respawn]

I found a way of using Kylanias spawning script

Made game logic with loops=true in init

Trigger:

BLUFOR present/ Repeating

Condition: this and loops

On Act: nul = [2] execVM "selNewDir.sqf";loops = false;

On DeAct: loops = true

Countdown: min=10 mid=10 max=10

This means that every 10 seconds more enemies will spawn. You can change this time to fit the mission.

[Trigger enemies with waypoints and respawn]

Thanks.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet but i can't see anything defining the 'patrolgroups' way-points.

So this script will allow me to have them respawn but they would just run in random directions.

[Trigger enemies with waypoints and respawn]

Okay so inside my trigger which spawns a group of enemies i have

Activation: BLUFOR PRESENT

Condition: this && ({alive _x && side _x == east} count thisList) < 5

On act: nul = [2] execVM "selNewDir.sqf";

This seems to work but only when a blufor player leaves the trigger and enters it again. Which isn't optimal tbh

[Trigger enemies with waypoints and respawn]

Great. It would be very helpful if you could give me an example of what to put in the trigger. And how it links to your script

[Trigger enemies with waypoints and respawn]

Hi guys. You lot have being so useful so far with scripting.

I want to make a defence mission with waves of enemies BUT i dont want the waves to start until a trigger tells it too. For example BLUFOR present.

So heres my current problem.

I have tried the random spawn direction mod. http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=31

This mod is nice but it doesn't automatically respawn the enemies when they have being killed.

I have also tried the UPS script. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6540

This mod works except i can't trigger the enemies. They just spawn at the beginning of the mission.

Ideally i would like a script like this (my normal spawn enemy script i use). The problem with this script is that i cant designate the waypoints and they dont respawn after they are killed

Trigger

Condition: Blufor present

On act: Exec 'spawnenemies.sqf'

spawnenemies.sqf

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_spawnPos = markerPos (_this select 0);

_group1 = createGroup EAST;

_unit1 = _group1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Bonesetter_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

_unit2 = _group1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_2_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

_unit2 = _group1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_AT_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

_unit3 = _group1 createUnit ["TK_INS_Soldier_AR_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

[_group1, _spawnPos, 100, 7, "MOVE", "AWARE", "WHITE", "LIMITED", "WEDGE", [3,6,9]] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;

Any help would be appreciated

[Multiple side respawn]

Cheers. Implemented it and it works.

But as you say it is a fake way. I also placed the respawn marker in the sea to make sure people cant just keep playing

[Multiple side respawn]

Hi. I have an odd problem. I am using ACE wounds with the basic description.ext for respawn.

I have two playable sides in my mission. BLUFOR and INDEPENDENT.

I want INDEPENDENT to respawn. but i don't want BLUFOR to respawn. (If that makes sense)

I have already tried removing the respawn_gurilla but the independent just respawn at the BLUFOR marker instead.

Please help

[Spawning civilians driving on roads]

I am making a mission which involves a blufor team escaping Chernarus.

I want civilians to spawn on roads preferably driving around when the BLUFOR approach the roads ect

I have a spawnunitsciv.sqf script with this code:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_spawnPos = markerPos (_this select 0);

_group1 = createGroup Civilian;

_unit1 = _group1 createUnit ["Volha_2_TK_CIV_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

_unit2 = _group1 createUnit ["Volha_2_TK_CIV_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"]; sleep 0.2;

[_group1, _spawnPos, 100, 7, "MOVE", "SAFE", "WHITE", "LIMITED", "WEDGE", [3,6,9]] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;

And a trigger

Condition: Blufor detected

Act: 0 = ["markername"] execVM "spawnUnitsciv.sqf";

When i use this script no civilian cars spawn. (BTW i have placed a civilian on map)

Any help would be appreciated.

[Multiple tasks for both sides]

Okay cheers. Very useful scripts there and i will be sure to implement one of them.

I have another question although not related to the topic.

Is it possible to have a BLUFOR group spawn together at the start of the mission at a number of different predetermined positions.

For example. 5 different spawn points for the BLUFOR group at the mission start while the OPFOR spawn in one static position?

[Multiple tasks for both sides]

I searching all over the web but couldn't find what i was looking for. I have some editing knowledge and have created missions in the past.

Basically my mission involves 2 SIDES for a MP mission night

WEST and EAST.

The WEST tasks involve getting to one of the 8 triggers Marked on the map. These are defined in the Briefing.sqf

While the EAST will have a task to destroy the WEST soldiers. (The WEST team leader has a marker that updates on his location every 5 minutes. This marker will be the task marker in the briefing.sqf for the EAST.

So my question is how can i get both sides to have separate tasks?

Any help would be appreciated
