Support Radio

[Kremator]

OK so I have been able to put Support Radio into my mission now. Actually I have only used the artillery as that can be spawned from markers at the beginning of the mission. I have two questions ...


MAJOR IMPORTANCE - Would it be possible neokika to look into making a sample mission where freshly spawned helos/aircraft/artillery are 'included' into the Support Radio (at random places - NOT using markers and NOT putting the init onto them at the start)? I suppose they will need randomly assigned names (from a array of names 'Freak', 'Fatman' etc) This will help with me being able to use Support Radio to it's fullest extent!
MINOR IMPORTANCE - Is it possible to have the artillery respawn if killed (after a certain amount of time - using the marker system). Of course IF the above point gets sorted then there is no need for this - I can just make a new arty piece.

There is a HUGE amount of scope for these scripts (and a huge amount of work has obviously gone into them!) so thankyou so much neokika.

Hey,

Instead of say,

getMarkerPos "NEO_mkr_transport_00", 

Do it with a 3D position like this instead:

[X, Y, Z], 

Where Z is the spawn height.

Neokika,

How would I change this?

getMarkerPos "NEO_mkr_transport_00",

getpos [x,y,z], ??? Does not seem to work, I am trying to spawn vehicle on deck of Carrier.

Any way to make a reload time between two fire missions?

OH MY GOD, Thanks man!

Neo, I just discovered your Support Radio, I have to say its the best damn script I've ever used in the ARMA series, Thank you so much for it. I have a question. Using it for missions inserting into Chernarus, No friendly airfield. How would I spawn one of the CAS aircraft in Flight ? Rather than having it have to use a Runway. ?
Thanks mate
Nick

Edit, Tried the X,Y,Z co-ord placement, the X and Y co-ords work fine but the height dosnt. The Chopper always spawns at ground level. So as Vengance says you couldnt spawn on a LHD/LPD or ship for example. The chopper always spawn underneath. I tried altering the height of the marker in the mission.sqm but that didnt seem to work either.

Like I said amazing scripts, naturally we all want to fiddle with them :0)

Help me..

Hey guys,

I have sit down to figure this out, but i can't get it to work I have used about 6 hours on it, i really want it to work, so my question is could one of you help with a simple install guide?
I just need to know where to put stuff, and i have the game on steam.

I would love to get back an answer, because i can see that many of you, already enjoys this mod

Kind Regards

Hi and thanks nickmow,

Yes, currently it is not possible to spawn the aircraft on the air, although I have plans to add such functionality in the future, same for the LHD spawn.

Hi Martin,

Keep in mind that these set of scripts are not an addon/mod, but rather something you implement in a mission.
If you follow the instructions on the first post and still you are not able to make it work, post here and I'll try to help you a little better.
