Mini Realism Mod - Accuracy enhancement

[Celery]

Here is a realism mod that can be installed on individual maps via a script. All it does is increase the accuracy of some weapons to a believable level just like in OFP.

Download demo mission here!

The code in the script looks like this:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">;This is the Mini Realism Mod made by Celery.
;It increases the accuracy of the weapons listed
;in _accuracyarray by making the bullet fly exactly
;where the barrel points, eliminating dispersion.
;
;Use and modification is unrestricted, crediting
;of the original author is not necessary but it
;would be a beautiful gesture.
;
;Activated by a &#34;fired&#34; eventhandler.

_weapon=_this select 1

The script will be executed by an eventhandler, in the mission it&#39;s like this in the init line of the soldier:
this addeventHandler ["fired", {_this exec "cly_realism.sqs"}]


You can add or remove the weapon classnames as you see fit to include those weapons to have increased accuracy. The speed divided by 3.6 is the formula to make the 3 dimensional velocity match the original speed of the bullet. You can even increase the speed to make bullets faster and deadlier with less drop. I encourage everyone to modify the script, maybe even make it better and more advanced and show how you did it in here.

Nice job mate, but especially since the fired eventhandler is running so many times esp in bigger firefightrs, you might want to consider rewriting this quickly to SQF, loading the code into a variable like: CLY_Accuracy

and then changing the eventhandler system to:
{_this call CLY_Accuracy}

replace call with spawn if you intend to use waitUntil or sleep inside ur script.

No need to reload cly_realism.sqs from file every shot fired.

Since I&#39;m not at the least skilled in writing sqf (and its performance superiority is not that apparent as discussed in an earlier topic), I will leave the honors to someone else. The script has already been tested in multiplayer and there were no performance differences. It&#39;s unprobable that I can bring any enhancements to the mod because I only make scripts to the point where I&#39;m happy with how they work.

No Noticeable performance drop doesn&#39;t mean we should just throw around with valuable cpu time etc. Especially not when concerning eventhandlers, esp not the fired one

Here&#39;s ur SQF version:
CLY_Accuracy.sqf

_bullet setvelocity _vel;
_bullet setvectordir _dir;[/QUOTE]

in init.sqs or sqf:
CLY_Accuracy = compile preProcessFile "CLY_Accuracy.sqf";

then to enable the eventhandler:
this addeventHandler ["fired", {_this call CLY_Accuracy}]



1 More suggestion btw, as we&#39;re speaking optimized scripting;
you could pull the _accuracyarray out of ur function and add it to the init.sqs/sqf: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">CLY_accuracyarray=&#91;&#34;G36A&#34;,&# 34;G36C&#34;,&#34;G36K&#34;,&#34;AK74&#34;,&#34;M1 6A2&#34;,&#34;M4&#34;,&#34;M4AIM&#34;,&#34;M4A1&#3 4;,&#34;Makarov&#34;,&#34;M9&#34;&#93;;[/QUOTE]

So in this case you would exchange in ur function the _accuracyarray with CLY_accuracyarray. This way the array gets only initialized once: at mission start/jip join, and not every single time the fire event is called. Win will be minimal, but scripting logic and smart-use of resources would make this method preference

Thanks for sickboy&#33;

Nice work Sicboy

The mod is being used in the newest versions of the Gamez-Club league maps by Frantic and I&#39;m thinking of adding it in my deathmatches. I&#39;ve played a few rounds and it feels almost like OFP again because you actually hit where you aim for once.

It deffo works as it should&#33;

[whisper]

just for my information, why dividing bullet speeds by 3.6?

[Celery]

just for my information, why dividing bullet speeds by 3.6?

Because that&#39;s how the velocity returns to the original value. I don&#39;t know the complex 3D math behind it, I just noticed that without dividing the bullet&#39;s speed was that much faster than normal.

[InqWiper]

Speed returns km/h and velocity returns m/s. 1m/s=3.6km/h. Theres your complex 3d math
Cant belive people actually think the ArmA weapons are too inaccurate. I didnt like how you could hit people in 1 shot from 500 meters with M16 in OFP. Much better firefights in ArmA.
