Hi all, Want to play with a "One man tank"? Here is a little script for "World of tank" aficionados. Works on all tanks in game, as far as you can jump into the driver's seat. Usage: you're driver until you move the mouse, pointing cannon at cursor direction. Driver is always in 3rd person. Then, you're gunner but you can use your keys to continue driving the tank. - in external view, you'll be back at driver's seat if no waypoint (see further) and no turret movement for 10 seconds. - in gunner view, you stay as gunner role and continue to drive. - if in gunner (or external) view and right click (Temporary zoom) on landscape, you create a temporary waypoint where the tank goes as far as you don't touch any of the driver's keys. Driver's keys will delete this waypoint when strike. Hints to know: - when driving from gunner's seat, avoid maintaining the forward key when you need to turn. release all, strike left(/right), maintain if you want; As soon as the direction is good, release left(/right) key, strike forward key. The tank will start to sway a little around the desired direction but will go where you want. Remember release all keys to make change. - there is no rear clutch while in gunner, just because Arma's engine prefers a 180° turn instead of a 10 meter rear drive... So, I disabled the backward key in gunner. Other stuffs: There are 2 parameters O/1 for displaying: - tank icon, in order to have a clear view of the direction of the tank when you are in gunner view. Gun is always up, of course. - little radar displaying other vehicles in game, along with knowledge of these units. Now, the function. Just add it into init.sqf or initPlayer.sqf, or any script which run for player: MGI_1ManTank = { params [["_icon",1,[0]],["_radar",1,[0]]]; if (!hasInterface) exitWith {}; MGI_iTk = _icon; MGI_rdrTk = _radar;
