Installation
merge the mission with your own and copy the scripts across
SPAWN MODE
in the editor there will be a logic called jetspawn. set the first variable to true to enable spawn mode if there are no other jets.

How To
use the communication menu(0-8) to access the features
this will open a dialog box, input the required grid (8 figure grid refence), for transport and medevac choose landing type remember green smoke to land red to abort. I tried to make the dialog easy to use.
most of the squad command is mapclick / cursor point.
assault position is have the croshairs over a position then execute the command (0-8-2-1) this will initiate the assault, recommend puttion the selected units at the end into engage at will.
assault house is the same as assault position however you need to have the assaulting party selected before issuing command.
compound clearing is simlar to assault house
- select assault team
- send order
- map click center of compound
- action menu stack up behind me ( gets every one immediately behind you)
- entry point (red or green) red if member of assault team has satchel charge green if not. point croshairs and entry point and then send action
- breach and clear, send it wait 5 seconds and blow the wall if red, enter the compound via enrty point.
- clear house, point at house and select
- all clear removes all actions

special note
the extraction of crew is autonomus just meet up with the crew and use the action request extraction to send a extraction helicopter

I'm not Brilliant at describing what the process is as it has evolved to my requirements so if you have any issues with things not working as they should let me know on the BI forums thread and I will resolve ASAP

Issues
stobe landing not fully tested

Issues
some script errors

As I also have a similar system I've been working on I thought I'd take a look and noticed my .RPT file was flooded with errors, as well as calls not completing.

Good attempt though, looking forward to improved versions in the future.

None of the choppers want to land even after smoke is thrown.

yeah need to tidy up the code to stop this just wanted to get it out for use

are you throwing the correct smoke (green) sorry forgot to mention on the orig release, had a large readme detailing all the features and how to use that got lost on my computer

I downloaded this and merged it onto a domination map I was working on. Copied the scripts folder over into my map, have all the assets on the map but dont have an anything available when I press 0 then go to communication. Any thoughts. It's obviously operator error on my end since every else is working. :-P

yeah, I noticed this when I recently merged it with a warfare mission.
in the AirSupinit.sqf (from memory) put in a sleep 30; at the start to allow for the domination scripts to load, that worked for me, let me know how it goes

[7akata]

In the airfield_support mission folder, in the init.sqf (The only one I could fine close to what you said), It only had one line. It now says

sleep 30;
execVM "scripts\supinit.sqf";

Assuming I did that correctly, it still wasn't working.

Edit: Bring up radio, then communications (8), and then it's just blank.

[ozzyt109]

ok i'll try merging it with a domination on my end and tell you how i get it to work. as a side note not sure how it would work multiplayer, as its not been tested as such
