Hey guys! This is a simple script to turn a unit into a suicide bomber which waits for a nearby player and then follows and explodes. Have fun with it. In those spoiler below u can see how to use this script with COS - Civilian Occupation System /* SSSB - Sarogahtyps Simple Suicide Bomber Description: Function can be called wherever u want even in init line. It waits for player who is in range and follows him until reached and then BOOOOM! The bomber is walking if player can see the bomber. If there is no line of sight to player then the bomber will run. Works even if the bomber is driving a vehicle. If player is out of range before bomber can reach him then the bomber will just wait for the next player in range. You can pass a chance to get a bomber to the function. This is useful for implementing the script into COS - Civilian Occupation System. You can apply the script to all civilians and if u pass e.g. 1 % as chance then only every 100th civ will become a bomber and wait for near players. Enjoy the boom. :-) Cheers Saro. Paramameters: object - the object of your unit which should become a bomber number (optional) - range to seek for players (default is 300 m) number (optional) - chance to turn the unit into a bomber.

For lots of reasons old suicide bomber scripts do not work for me so I made a simple and working one: snackgrp = createGroup [east, true]; snackgrp setBehaviour "CARELESS"; snackgrp setSpeedMode "FULL"; //change speed mode if you want the bomber to be slower snackpos = [player, 30, 100, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; //change 2nd and 3rd value in the array to add distance the bomber have to travel bomber = snackgrp createUnit ["LOP_Tak_Civ_Random",snackpos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; //you can change the classname of bomber to fit your scenario {_x setBehaviour "CARELESS"} forEach units snackgrp; {_x setSpeedMode "FULL"} forEach units snackgrp; explosives = selectRandom ["SatchelCharge_Remote_Ammo"]; //change expl classname for weaker/stronger effect or add more expl classnames for randomness charge = explosives createVehicle (position bomber); charge attachTo [bomber, [0,0.15,0.15],"Pelvis"]; charge setVectorDirAndUp [[1,0,0],[0,1,0]]; bombtrg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector",(getPos bomber),true]; bombtrg setTriggerType "NONE"; bombtrg setTriggerArea [10, 10, -1,false]; bombtrg setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false]; bombtrg setTriggerStatements ["this", "detach charge; charge setDamage 1;", "hint'Death by explosives'"]; bombtrg setTriggerTimeout [0, 0, 0, false]; //change numbers if you want to give some time for the player to run away after the bomber gets in radius bombtrg attachto [bomber]; private _stalking = [snackgrp, group player,5,0,{false},1] spawn BIS_fnc_stalk; Run as needed - trigger, execVM. I name it "snackbar.sqf", declare is as function in description.ext and then in a trigger I just type call KIB_fnc_snackbar; This way, in a big scenario, you have to change only "snackbar.sqf" once and it automatically changes every trigger on the map. Enjoy. Everything in one place. Tested in SP.

Would there be any script to disable or make "suicide respawn" in wasteland take a while? I'm having problems on my server where people are committing suicide to respawn elsewhere. But they are over-exaggerating this use of suicide resurge, given that there are beacons on the server. I searched the forums but I didn't find this solution.

Hello so I have a strange issue and i don’t know how or what I did to mess this up haha. everytime a player on my server kills anything it always registers as that unit killed itself I shoot and kill a zombie... ”ZombieA killed by ZombieA a player shoots and killed me... “Player DanteMcclous Killed DanteMccloud” etc etc, I’m not sure how I managed to mess something like that up or how to even begin going about fixing it. I’ve been looking all around and can’t find any information. Has anyone else encountered this or know how to fix it? Or any suggestions on where to begin?

I've just been watching (voyeur style) a series of battles using @zonekiller Battlezone. For those uninitiated it is a mixed arms mission. Time after time the thing that pisses me off is how ANY vehicle will run down troops like they aren't there. EVEN WORSE ... the troops NEVER jump out of the way! @DEVS you've really had quite a bit of time to sort this. Either make drivers smarter or AI troops smarter (to avoid being squished). Please don't ask for repro steps ... play ANY MISSION ! I bought Arma3 ... not Mad Max !!

not 100% working as intended. basic run out of ammo,you get the option to suicide. lightning comes down and strikes you dead. *not 100% working as intended = at player death I'm guessing he is out of ammo so he gets the option to suicide. I won't be working on this project anymore( or at this time) but maybe someone will like it and want to continue. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6aUdL_pIZqgZITGPMt27JkHi9iJQ credits duda (original structure of config) MADT (helping me) zonekiller (always my backbone for info)
