UPSMON - Urban Patrol Script Mon

[Katipo66]

I think so.... Why shouldn't they? I don't think there is a general "need" to use the Six-Updater System, if you want to allude into that direction
And neither would it makes sense, since its "only" a script...

Yeah im thinkn that also, But had to ask cos im unable to use the updater

HI Monsada,

little issue:
during game not all area markers disappear:
I think only "first three" disappear, the fourth one remain visible on the map. (reproduce problem Arma1.05+ACE: you can notice it in your sample missions -> area marker over Streika.)

and question:
What are these blue red redcross circles on the map used for ?

Regards, super stuff.

[Monsada]

hi Rafalski,

area markers that not disapear does because they are not being used by upsmon squads. Make sure almost one squad uses that marker. If you talk about test missions I upload may be I do not use all markers in all test a have uploaded.

About red and blue circles and cross are debug markers only, I use them to see where is the nearest known target an red and blue circles are the posibles flanking positions.

[Rafalski]

Thats rights,

second question:
Area markers are always visible in the briefing just before you start the mission. Looking at them you know where expect patrols.

How to make them not visible.

Many thanks!

[Monsada]

yes is a trouble that, because during briefing upsmon not run yet.

I solve this puting setareamarkeralpha in init.sqf like this

"FUEL" setMarkerAlpha 0;
"TOWN" setMarkerAlpha 0;
"TOWNN" setMarkerAlpha 0;
"TOWNW" setMarkerAlpha 0;
"TOWNE" setMarkerAlpha 0;
"TOWNS" setMarkerAlpha 0;

Super, this hint should be add to the official faq about upsmon.

Thanks a lot.

Q:
Do AI use static fortifications as small bunkers to hide there and shoot from there.

[Monsada]

I don't test all static weapons, If static must go well. With buildings im not sure, test it and tell me.

[Rafalski]

with Static weapons AI work super

but AI do not use fortification objects as small bunkers. Would be great to add this feature.

[Monsada]

I will see it, If posible I will add it.

Hi bardosy, this seems you are not executing init_upsmon in init.sqf as I explain in main post.

try to put this in init.sqf and only in init.sqf
//Init UPSMON scritp
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\Init_UPSMON.sqf";

if it not solves the problem send me your mision by email to check it.

Hey Mondasa,

did you got my mission via e-mail? I sent you, because it not solved the problem.

The main problem is, this errors don't occurse always, jut a few hour of gameplay later. So, the units (used your script) work well until a moment, when they drop that error message.
