UNA Targets - Realistict target board script

[Walker001]

UNA Targets v0.90 - Realistict target board (script):



Description:
This script simulates a realistic 0 to 10 score target board. The target records your hits and calculates your score.


Features:
- Working 0 to 10 score target board. For example if you hit a 9 this score will be saved to the target board. The scores can be checked after your shooting session.
- In default mode you wont get any instant feedback about your score, like it is in real life. After your shooting session you have to walk close to the target board itself in order to check your score. The mission designer has how ever the possibility to assign the check score action also to a different object, so the players would not be forced to always run to the target after each shooting sessions.
- Works with all rifles and pistols.
- MP compatibility, with this script you will be able to compete at the target range with your friends online.
- This is a script not an addon. At the moment is only vanilla Arma 2 or OA required. (Thx to Bier AIG Razor)
- Easy installation and setup, launch the script with a single command
- Example missions included.


How does it work:
The target is constantly checking if somebody has shot on it. Once a hit on the target has been recognized, the world position of the hit is converted into a coordinate on the board, where the origi [0,0] is number 10 on the board. The coordinate from each hit is recorded into a table. When somebody wants to check the score the coordinates of each hit is calculated into scores which is displayed to the player. When somebody clears the target, the table with the targets recorded hits will be cleared.


Quick installation:
1. Extract una_targets folder into your mission folder.
2. Place object "WarfareBunkerSign" on the map. You find it in the editor at Warfare-buildings->Sign.
3. Put following on the init line of the object:
nul = [this] execVM "una_targets\init_target.sqf";
4. If you want to create several targets just copy the first one and you are done. If you have problems please check the example missions for further instuctions.


Editor syntax:

[target,monitor,target_name] execVM "una_targets\init_target.sqf";

target (required) - name of the target, the target needs to be editor object "WarfareBunkerSign" [object]
monitor (optional) - name of an other object from where the player can inspect and clear the target score. [object]
target_name (optional) - assigned name by mission designer. Will be visible in the GUI. Default name is "target". [string]


Known issues:
- SP, no known issues in SP. The targets has been tested and works fine up to over 1000m.
- MP, hits on the target will not be registers for clients further away than ca 100m from the target except for the shooter himself. Due to this the score can be shown differently or not at all for players at further distances.
- MP, if you clear several targets at the same time (within 0.1 second) it might be that some target was not cleared for all players.


Example missions:
una_targets_demo1.utes
- demonstrates how to easily setup the targets.
una_targets_demo2.Desert_E
- demonstrates how to setup the mission so the player can inspect their score from where they shoot.

Working really well!

While I do like how manual it is, are there any plans for an electronic range with hit indicator and timer?

VERY nicely done

Make sure you gave put the una_targets folder into the folder of your current mission (not for example ArmA 2\missions). This folder you find in "My Documents", for example C:\Documents And Settings\Username\ArmA\Missions\your_mission.Deser t_E.

Thank you very much! Excellent script! Just for the needs of my squad. We practice realistic combat and training and your script will definitely be included.

One more thing which is needed badly, is the same thing, but with a human target, like those in America's Army. It's subdivided in arm, center of mass, head etc. sectors. It would be fantastic to have the same script, but when you come close and check results it will say: You hit: left arm, torso, center of mass, head... I believe the same scripting will do but we need to develop a system which detects certain coordinates as body parts...

It's not working for me...the first time i took the sqf's out of the folder..but i fixed it..so the init is working...but when i'm standing in front of the target i have no option..neither in mousemenue nor in ace interact menue....perhaps one of my mods has some problems with that..i don't know...
If have got ArmA2 Vanilla with aprox 20mods...the major ones are : ACE, RH-Weaponpacks, SLX-Mod, CAA1 and Dessert Mercs.
Perhaps one of these is causing the problem.
