[VTE] Renfort d'une escouade à l'infini

SierraNevada — Sun, 19 May 2013 22:22:08 GMT

Bonjour à tous !
Voila l'action que j'aimerais réaliser en boucle:
Créer un hélico et une escouade sur une zone, faire embarquer l'escouade, faire venir l'hélico sur la zone de combat, décharger l'escouade sur la zone de combat et lui faire défendre cette zone, faire repartir l'hélico.
Pour cela voici le code que je propose et que j'ai écrit dans un déclencheur, mais il ne marche pas encore:

hueyslick1 = "VTE_uh1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "helicospawn");
pilotsquad = createGroup west;
pilot = pilotsquad createUnit ["VTE_acpilot", getMarkerPos "squadspawn", [], 0, "FORM"] ;
pilot moveInDriver hueyslick1;

squad= createGroup west;
"VTE_acofficer" createUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "chef = this"];
chef = leader squad;

"VTE_acofficern" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit1 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldiermedic" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit2 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldiermg" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit3 = this"];
"VTE_acofficer" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit4 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldierlaw" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit5 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldier" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit6 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldierrto" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit7 = this"];
"VTE_acsoldierm79" creatUnit [getMarkerPos "squadspawn", squad, "unit8 = this"];

[squad, 0] setWaypointPosition [getPos hueyslick1, 0];
[squad, 0] setWaypointType "GETIN";
[pilotsquad, 0] setWaypointPosition [getMarkerPos "disembarkwpt", 0];
[pilotsquad, 0] setWaypointType "UNLOAD";
[squad, 1] setWaypointPosition [getMarkerPos "disembarkwpt", 1];
[squad, 1] setWaypointType "GUARD";

Pour ne pas encombrer la partie d'hélico, ils sont censé exploser quand ils sortent d'un certain périmètre avec setDammage 1.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

New Unit Config Issue

RichardsD — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:01:04 GMT

Hello ladies and gentlemen:

I'm working on some very simple reskins of BI Units for some private releases for training. I've got the config all dandy and working, and there are no errors. The issue however is that there is a custom texture but it is not being applied to the unit.

Steps for making this that have not yet worked:

I took the default US_Officer_EP1 model and placed it into my P Drive in a new folder
I then took the corresponding texture and put that in a "Data" Folder in that folder.
I then put the custom textures in the folder.
I put a hidden select texture line in the folder.

When I load the the character, it continues to load the default BI skin. I cannot figure out how to change the thing!

Thanks in Advance..

ai on seperate PC question

mech — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:46:43 GMT

Hi,

I'm thinking about a way to increase CPU power available for AI (I'm using ASR AI). From what I understand, the AI is always working on the machine of the controlling player. That means if I create a player controlled platoon and connect a dummy PC (preferably with the addon "show blanck screen only".pbo) as platoon leader, then I should have plenty of CPU on an extra PC for that platoon.

1. How about that?

2. Any ideas on an "disablegraphics" addon out there? Couldn't find any.

3. Any ideas on "autoconnect" and "autojoin" by a client?

Question about strings and arrays

eagledude4 — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:36:55 GMT

I need some help with the below code:

Code:

_classname = _this;

_count = ???

_Var = format ["%1_%2", _classname, _count];

ServerVcls = ServerVcls + [_Var];

Result:

Code:

ServerVcls = ["Atv_1", "Truck", "Atv_2", "Car"];

I think I can get the number by counting the number of times "Atv" appears in the array, but I don't know of any functions to do this.

something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...rs-in-an-array

How to bind Identity with new Unit Class?

Lato1982 — Sat, 11 May 2013 07:14:42 GMT

Hi,

I'm working on a small unit mod for my mission. I want to create new soldier units and I want them to have defined the identity. Exatcly the same way like the Razor Team in the editor, my code looks like this:

CfgIdentities.hpp

PHP Code:


class CfgIdentities

{

    class S01_JohnBarnesID

    {

        name = "John Barnes";

        face = "BB_Beardface_4";

        glasses = "cap_black_2";

        speaker = "Male04EN";

        pitch = 0.9;



    };

CfgVehicles.hpp

PHP Code:


class CfgVehicles {

    

  class Graves_Light;

        

    class S01_JohnBarnes: Graves_Light 

    {

        scope = 2;

        accuracy = 2;    // accuracy needed to recognize type of this target

        camouflage = 1; // man

        cost = 4; // an officer

         

        displayName = "SEAL#01 John Barnes";

        faceType = "Man";

        backpack = "";

        identityTypes[] = {"S01_JohnBarnesID"};

        faction = SealTeam10;

        nightVision = true;

        canHideBodies = true;

        canDeactivateMines= true; //SoldierEngineer    

  

      portrait = "\Team10\portraits\p01_JohnBarnes.paa";

      picture = "\Ca\characters\data\Ico\i_null_CA.paa";

      

        init = "[(_this select 0)] exec ""\Team10\identities\s01_ID.sqf""";

      



      

    

};

I know I can use the faceType but it's not enough. I want to add voice pitch, glasses and name. I use the eventHandler Init with this code, but it's not working.

s01_ID.sqf

PHP Code:


_this setIdentity "S01_JohnBarnesID";

How can I add a unit like Cooper, Miles, Ohara, Sykes into the editor. This is really crucial for me.

Thanks in advance,

Request for a simple music addon

Spades_Neil — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:34:05 GMT

I just want to slap this song into my @STALKER folder, because I use it as a radio tune, and it's more convenient to download the song as part of the mod pack instead of being infused with the mission file because the file is so large.

I'd do it myself but I don't even know what to put in the config file, nor do I know how to turn it into a bin file. Plus I don't know how bisign files work. Or keys.

Can anyone lend me a quick hand?

In fact, here's the song file, already in .ogg format and everything. http://www.mediafire.com/?bgvqrodbnzhno9a

Bike with a machine gun?

HorribleGoat — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:54:41 GMT

Me again with more trouble with my bike. Im trying to arm it with a driver operated machine gun, but can't get it to fire.

Got the gun, got ammo, got buttload of memorypoints for it, but it wont fire. Carhorn works though. Might it be that motorcycle class just doesn't have this function?

So far searching the forum gave me nothing but vague remarks to older post that I could not find so help would be appreciated.

--Update

I added an assault rifle as a weapon to the bike and got some results. The gun sort of fires, but it fires only empty "click click". I browsed through all topics on addons - C&S and recall somewhere reading that the carhorn sound is actually the empty sound too and drivers can only fire empty?

If this indeed correct, Im going to have to script a new action for the weaponfire.

--Update2

I added a "turret" to the bike and moved the guns into it and they can now be shot from the gunners seat or by adding a gunner and commanding him, this gave me an idea for a AI gunner unit that would be tied into the bike and could not disembark it (with a script of somesort possibly).and firekey (mousebutton or whatever) would the be scripted to make the AI fire the weapon.

With my current knowledge this is the only viable solution I can come up with but any suggestions are welcome.

Bike trouble. strange tilting

HorribleGoat — Wed, 08 May 2013 00:45:18 GMT

I've got a combat bike addon under work now and its coming together quite as I've planned, except one thing I can't figure out.

In game the bikes body tilts ~20degrees to left and while steering right it turns upright and when steering left it tilts more, so it acts correctly.

When spawing in it I noticed that it spawns straight up and then tilts to the side. :I Got only really simple geometry lod build up for testing so maybe its somewhere in there.

Thought to ask anyway if someone has any ideas what causes this, for I've been at it for hours and can't get anywhere.

-->

It's the simplest things.. I had left some old pieces in edit LOD and that caused my problem. :D Remember to clear your edit LODs.

Problems binarizing chernarus.pbo

wok — Mon, 06 May 2013 01:45:36 GMT

I am trying to make a stratis arma 3 mission work for chernarus in arma 3, I am getting some errors involving "mapSize param not being defined", in stratis this is defined in the config.cpp, so I am trying to edit the chernarus config.cpp to add that and regenerate the pbo.

Using BinPBO, if I uncheck "binarize" the pbo gets created without errors but when I replace the original with this new one the mission wont show up in arma. If I leave "binarize" checked I get these errors:

Quote:

No entry 'C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Tools\BinMake\Binarize\bin\config.cpp/CfgSurfaceCharacters.SparseWeedsClutter'.
No entry '.probability'.
Size: '/' not an array
Default clutter names TypeX used for /

Cannot open object ca\plants2\clutter\c_grasstall.p3d

I only understand the last line which is quite obvious, after doing some research I see that everyone having that error is because of either missing files or wrong path, but I have the plants pbos unpacked and in the correct path, check this image:

You can see that the path is P:/ca/plants2/clutter/ as it says it should be here http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/A...rrain_Tutorial

So what could be causing the problem?

APC Config Help

R0adki11 — Sun, 05 May 2013 23:32:19 GMT

Im currently trying an APC ive been working on, its based on vilas MLOD BMP1, the model hasnt changed much. But as much as it loads in game, turret or tracks will not move. I don't have much experience with getting armoured vehicles in game. Could some one point me in the right direction in what im doing wrong.

Stock BIS Flares? Can i change/edit there varibles?

konyo — Sun, 05 May 2013 12:15:51 GMT

Is it possible that I can change the varibles of the stock BIS Operation Arrowhead Aircraft Flares?
For example the direction i define the flares to shoot out in the model.p3d is changed massively in game by the speed I'm flying at? I've got them pointing 90 degress left & right of the aircraft but they shoot out in a forwards way in say a 30 degress angle? Is there anyway i can change that so they come out dead center at a 90 degress angle regardless of the speed im traveling? :D

rh_weapons in my clan's packs

Pantylines — Sat, 04 May 2013 20:56:16 GMT

Last night I joined my clan in playing this new mission, we had to install the addon pack in our mods folder but some gun p3d files were missing. I can't see or use the M249, M9, or several other guns missing in the mission and the editor. They're delta_93 units that are supposed to be using stock Arma 2 guns. I'm verified the game's cache and re-installed the clan's addon pack several times.

I've posted one of the errors.......

Cannot open object rh_de\rh_m9sd.p3d

Last night I joined the game as an auto rifleman, there was no game in my hand and I could not fire, in the editor I can fire but there is no gun.

If I deactivate the mods folder the guns come back on all stock units in the game.

My clan is telling me that the guns they're using are stock to Arma 2 so there is no reason I do not have them, they're right but something is removing them when I use the Delta 93 units for out Black Hawk Down missions.

Nevermind, one of my clanmates eventually got it to work.
