Step by Step Helicopter Extraction Guide
KallusMax replied to MareNostrum's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I wrote a SP/Campaign mission (Alpha One Diaries - Baptism) and uploaded it to Armaholics that includes a perfectly working extraction routine (extraction.sqf). During the mission you can call for extraction from anywhere on the map. It sends a fleet of choppers to your location and extracts back to the base barracks. It uses many variables specific to the addon but a decent coder could use it as a template and amend accordingly. Do not remove the "sleep" commands; there is an anomaly that requires the "sleep" commands. As a side note, if you enjoy the addon, and are capable of doing so, you can extract the PBO files and amend the three configuration files (config.sqf, configArrays.sqf, configScores) to configure the game to your own liking. -
Thanks for that. I've contacted a moderator and made the request.

I've noticed that I stated 'At least 20 men' and but in the config I had '21' as the value, in all the configs. It's legacy issue. I've amended it so it's fine now, but it appears that 10 or so of you have downloaded a ''rogue' version. I wasn't going bother to mention it because I know you're a bright bunch and would have sussed it anyway, but I had a thought. Here's a tip. Don't amend it, redownload it, because the 'rogue' version maybe be worth a bob or two in fifty years time. Just saying.

Thanks for that. I was joking about fixing the bugs by the way..............the mod doesn't have any. Hang on, I think I hear the sound a backlash approaching.

Many thanks for your reply, and excuse me for appearing 'a bit slow' on the uptake, but do you mean that the more posts you have made, the quicker the mod verified and is made available for users to access. Also, what is involved in the verification process. I'm aware that the mods/addons are probably scanned for viruses etc. but what else is done?

Just a quickie to introduce myself. I'm John. I'm a Scorpio, with a GSOH, but doesn't like dogs or going for long walks. On a side note, does anybody know what's involved with moderators checking over Mods/Addons being uploaded. I uploaded my first mod yesterday and it's nowhere to be seen. If part of the process is fixing all the bugs then I can understand the delay, and if that's the case, be prepared for a lot more mods from me. And before a moderator jumps on me telling me to search the forums and find the answer, I have, and, I didn't. Thanks in advance for your quick replies.

Thanks for the quick advice. You can remove this thread if that's appropriate. I've managed to post the mod on the correct forum. Thanks again.

Grunt Twelve months ago Eastern forces invaded Chernarus. Ten months ago Western forces intervened. Since arriving, the West has been bitch-slapped on an almost daily basis. That`s about to change..... Welcome to the war Alpha One. Game Type: Single Player Objective: Battle for grid positions to gain control of zones and own the map. Instructions: Fight battle. Return to barracks. Rinse, repeat. Quick start info: Gain trigger points by killing and winning battles. Spend trigger points on radio commands. When the battle starts check your map notes for zone stats and bonuses. Battle count only includes ground forces. Win conditions are: At least 20 men and twice the enemy count. Auto-MultiVac is free, and is initiated when the battle has been won and the enemy is reduced to 9 men. To end the current battle, enter the upper barracks on the island. Get there by any means necessary. I use the extraction method. Extraction can be requested at any time, but thereafter, you can no longer win the battle. Note that the games default configuration (Baptism) is a trainer mode. Some features are turned off, others, such as Intel Reports, are configured at 100% to avoid confusion. Edit the 'config' (3) files in the 'userconfig' folder whenever you feel ready, or copy one of the presets as a base, and tweak as desired. More info in the text document included in the download. Good luck Alpha One......and Godspeed. http://www.mediafire.com/download/10tgz6a7lho0l6n/GRUNT.rar

Just been working on my first mod and came to share it. It won't let me link it until I've made a previous post. This is said previous post. I will now go post the mod in the completed mods section, if it allows me. It's a Single Player game, it's called Grunt. Thanks.
