Standing on the shoulders of those who have far more skill than me, I have created the following SQF that seems to work, OK. ID-CPL. Venori, who ever you are, thank you.
It has some limitations in that ingress and egress points need to be predefined. I threw in the outbound heading from the ingress point just so that the marker could be placed anywhere and the spawned choppers could at least be moving in the desired direction toward the center of the map (I thought that made the most sense).
What I would like to do is click 3 points in the map, instead.
Ingress location
CAS location
Egress location
Ingress and CAS locations would define an inbound vector whos direction could be assigned to the spawn function
The same vector could be used to generate a spawn point at some distance from the CAS point along that vector, say 10K meters out. Pythagorean therom would apply if I am not mistaken.Code:[[(getMarkerPos _in) select 0, (getMarkerPos _in) select 1, 50], _az, "AH1Z", CAS_cg] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
Just the same, the CAS point and egress point could be used to create an exit vector and the egress point would then just be 10K meters out along that vector.
I need a little nudge in the right direction on what to read up on so that I can get the vector stuff working. Any suggestions you have are also appreciated.
