Using @rebel12340 's Radio Jammer script, I wanted to add a little life to them. I updated to his latest version and made it much easier to use them mid-mission with any Zeus: Again, all credit to @rebel12340 for his work, I made 0 edits to his script, just added the effects and Zeus function. You can grab Rebel's original script here: You can download everything from here: https://github.com/phoenixdowngaming/Xians-Scripts/tree/master/Radio_Jammer Inside the Init of your Zeus Module: this addEventHandler ["CuratorObjectPlaced", { params ["_curator", "_entity"]; [_entity]execVM "RadioJammer\jammer_Check.sqf"; } ]; RadioJammer\jammer_Check.sqf: private _jammer = _this select 0;//the jammer if (typeof _jammer == "Land_DataTerminal_01_F") then //check if the object Zeus placed is a Data Terminal aka Jammer { [_jammer,3] call BIS_fnc_dataTerminalAnimate;//Animate the jammer to be open and "on" [[_jammer]] execVM "RadioJammer\TFARjamRadios.sqf";//activate Rebel's radio Jamming script, ALL CREDIT TO HIM FOR THIS, I MADE 0 EDITS TO HIS WORK _jamPos = getPos _jammer;//get the position of the jammer _jamSource = "Land_HelipadEmpty_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];//create an invisible helipad to use as our sound source _jamSource setPos _jamPos; _Zeus = allCurators;//get a list of Zeus's incase multiple are being used {_x addCuratorEditableObjects [[_jamSource],false ];} forEach _Zeus;//make sure to add the helipad to Zeus incase he wants to move or delete the jammer after its been placed _jamDamage = getDammage _jammer;//in order to loop the sound, I chose to use a damage check [_jammer,["Shutdown Jammer","RadioJammer\jammer_shutdown.sqf",[_jammer,_jamSource],1,false,true,"","_this distance _target < 3"]] remoteExec ["addAction",0]; while {_jamDamage < 0.10} do { [_jamSource,["jammer_loop",25,1]] remoteExec ["say3D",0]; sleep 3; }; //this while loop checks the damage of the jammer every 3 seconds. apparently it can't be shot or blown up so we apply the damage manually in the shutdown script which ends the sound effects }; RadioJammer\jammer_shutdown.sqf private _jammer = _this select 0; //The Jammer device itself private _jamsource = nearestObject [_jammer,"Land_HelipadEmpty_F"]; //the sound effect source private _jamDamage = getDammage _jammer; //the jammers current damage deleteVehicle _jamsource; //stops the sound regardless of loop or length of sound effect _jammer setDamage 0.75; //set damage, can be any value really but I chose 75% [_jammer,"green","green","green"] call BIS_fnc_DataTerminalColor; //change the colors from red to green to let player now its "safe" [_jammer,0] call BIS_fnc_dataTerminalAnimate; //animate the box to Close, giving visually feedback to the player [_jammer,["power_down",25,1]] remoteExec ["say3D",0]; //play the power down sound effect directly from the jammer itself player setVariable ["tf_receivingDistanceMultiplicator", 1]; //variable used to turn radios back on player setVariable ["tf_transmittingDistanceMultiplicator", 1]; //variable used to turn radios back on }; Description.ext enableDebugConsole = 1; respawn = "BASE"; respawnDelay = 5; //This is the section that is most important. All the sounds are 'declared' here to be used in game class CfgSounds { class jammer_loop { name = "jammer_loop"; sound[] = {"\sound\jammer_Effect.ogg", db+2, 1}; titles[] = {1,""}; }; class power_down { name = "power_down"; sound[] = {"\sound\power_down.ogg", db+6, 1}; titles[] = {1,""}; }; }; 1 Known Bug so far: I've had a few people tell me that the sound effect is very low which is odd because on my machine, its loud. A quick workaround/fix is to just turn up the db+# in the description.ext to a higher number and that should get it working Any questions, suggestions or feedback, let me know! I learned most my scripting knowledge back in Arma 2 so if its old or if anything can be done an easier/better way, I'd love to know about it!
