createVehicle for a plane plus waypoints

Hi Avon!

Glad to have come across this post as this is sort-of *** ***exactly what im doing.

First of all <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">dotarget/dofire commands[/QUOTE] never work *** ***or at least not for planes as they go to quick and they usualy do what they want anyway. ***

Being playing around with your script. And this is what i have. Its a script that i hope to use with the onmapsingleclick but i need help. For now its set up for testing

Ok so its very much a carbon copy *** ***(i would ask for permission before releaseing ***)

Now LesIAETA is an East Armoured target, which spaws invisable, which makes the plane appear to the player, to be attacking a defined spot. (so to indicate a targeted strike by the plane)

Have you thought of doing something like this? where the player clicks his target on the map and the plane then attacks? instead of those waypoints.

Does anyone know of onmapsingleclick tutorials? i need to know how to get the position of the click and create a marker/icon.

Thanks
TF

edit: Forgot to say BTW this script works %110 of the time for divebombers

I simple thank you is more than enough.

And I couldn&#39;t have put it together without everyone&#39;s help here anyway.

@ Trenchfeet

I have been looking into this exact same idea for a short while now. I stopped looking into this as I quickly realized that I would like it to spawn an enemy to whoever clicks on the map and that would take a little more than my current level of scripting ability will permit. My very first script was made to attach one of Lester&#39;s invisible targets close to a unit and when that unit is eliminated, it would then attack the next group leader. I actually wanted it to attach an invisible target that was an enemy to the clicker&#39;s (players) side to a unit in the group closest to a singlemapclick and have it randomly attack a unit in that group until the group is destroyed or the player stops the attack. As this was beyond my means, I was happy to get a scaled down version to work by pre-placing the invis targets and then initiating the script bt way of a trigger of some sort. I was looking at skumball&#39;s napalm script that LCD updated as he used a singlemapclick initiate the script but have not had the time to implement this portion into my script. As I would like to pursue this further, perhaps PM me or start a new topic so we will not continue to hijack AL&#39;s topic. ***

(check your pm Wadmann)


hope this isn&#39;t off topic but did anyone notice that planes will always attack an AA soldier after destroying any armour target?

are we able to make all soldiers have the AA soldiers class?

Ive spent over 2 hours on a useless ADSL connection reading around this forum for help
and in fear of "not asking for help" and avoiding the usual noob bash lmao
im completly at a loss

I don't know whats happend with most the topics on this site... but the information has become a Useless Jumbled up Mess ..... the first post in this thread is a nightmare to understand :'(

For Exmple... that below is now total giberish...

hm AFAIK you can't dynamically create WPs

but you can do it like that:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_aPos = [1,2,3]
_aSpd = 400
_aDir = 0

_tPos1 = [1,2,3]
t1destroyed = false
_tPos2 = [1,2,3]
t2destroyed = false

_aVel = [sin(_aDir)*_aSpd, cos(_aDir)*_aSpd,0]

_plane = "A10" createVehicle _aPos
_plane engineOn true
_plane setDir _aDir
_plane setVelocity _aVel

while {(speed _plane)<_aSpd} do {_aVel=velocity _plane; _plane setVelocity [1.05*_aVel select 0, 1.05*_aVel select 1, 0]}

_plane setBehaviour "Combat"
_plane setCombatMode "RED"

;; WP 1 ---------------------
_plane doMove _tPos1

#wait1
~0.5
?! (t1destroyed) : goto "wait1"

;; WP 2 ---------------------
_plane doMove _tPos2

#wait2
~0.5
?! (t2destroyed) : goto "wait2"

That's just a simple example for how to do the whole thing with two waypoints. Of course you have to change the position arrays in the beginning of the script. You can also include dynamically moving of the waypoint positions, maybe also moving of a preset trigger for the conditions.

Note that the boolean t1destroyed has to be true to let the plane move on to the next waypoint.

Edit: changed a bit of the script[/QUOTE]

WTF... you have to quote reply with someones quote to be able to read it?
ok well now thats just weird...[COLOR="Silver"]

but me thinks the code still has issues
i just want to spawn an enemy "unit" and enemy "vehichle" and assign them both names, locations, and optional sqs in their INT's
this sites a nightmare :'(

e first post in this thread is a nightmare to understand :'(

That's because the first post was nearly 8 years ago and uses an outdated tag. Perhaps code tags weren't in use then. The search engine can play tricks on you like that if you're not careful.

[W0lle]

Exactly that. And please stop digging out 8 year old threads when you have nothing important to add to them. Instead, you could have asked one of the moderators about this.
