Support Radio

Recommended Posts

How can I do spawn the chopper in LHD?. Can I do it?

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.

i switched the arty's to PRACS arty pieces (105mm and the 155mm and the MLRS) but when i try a fire mission the unit is availible but i can not select a fire mission nor can a set a target area etc. (the radio says unit is availible) any idea how i can fix that (ps the units do spawn on the field )

Still nothing on this ?

Any thoughts also on how to make the scripts pick up on certain newly spawned vehicles. For instance if an MLRS is spawned the scripts are able to 'know' about it, and add it into the artillery array (for calling later)

Would love to help you test anything out.

This may be possible, can you check both (fn_artyUnitFiringDistance.sqf) and (fn_artyUnitAvailableRounds.sqf) at (NEO_radio\functions\misc\) and add the Class names in there?

Not with already created units, although you can use 2 built in functions to create and remove supports on the fly.

Thanks for that, but my head hurts when I try to code :)

At the start of the mission I don't want anything created (no markers, no vehicles), then I choose to spawn a Merlin (through VTS or MCC or Battlezone). I want to be able to place it anywhere on the map (not on that markerpos) and any direction. Is it possible that the script can then identify that a Merlin has been made, give it a callsign, and actions that it can do (already listed somewhere)?

Sorry if I'm asking the blindingly obvious.

It was mentioned earlier in this thread.

find these lines in the init.sqf:

_this == _target

&&

_this hasWeapon ""itemradio""

&&

_this hasWeapon ""itemGps""

and make it look like this to support all ACE radio packs:

_this == _target

&&

_this hasWeapon ""itemradio""

&&

_this hasWeapon ""itemGps""

&&

(

_this hasweapon ""ACE_PRC119""

||

_this hasweapon ""ACE_PRC119_MAR""

||

_this hasweapon ""ACE_PRC119_ACU""

)

I have been trying to get all support to respawn after it has been destroyed or killed etc but with no luck. I have looked through this thread and have tried to do the functions but i get script errors when I put it in the init file. Could we have a bit more information about this and even an example. Many thanks....

Just follow everything that is in the example mission.

I would still LOVE to be able for the scripts to pick up vehicles (CAS, arty and transport helos) that have been created AFTER the mission start. What would be required is for the script to run every 20-30 secs and scan all friendly vehicles (and add a temporary name to them) and then add them into the support radio addaction.

Is it also possible to have an option to autoreload them after a certain time ? Also to be able to increase the delay between a firemission and then a new firemission - how can I do that (otherwise it can be spammed).

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.

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.

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 :confused: 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.
