I'm creating a multiplayer mission revolving around emergency vehicle responses controlled by 1 player (me). I want to be able to drive a car and have 1 or 2 cars driving directly behind me where ever I go. The AI drivers will not follow me the way that I want them to, so I set up 2 scripts. One script checks if a car that I will drive is moving, if it is, then the other script takes my cars position and direction and loops it to the cars following me. This actually works, but with numerous vehicle groups like this and too many scripts looping at the same time without exiting, the server lags too much. I would like to set up eventhandlers that check if I am the driver of "car1" and if so, have "car2" and "car3" follow. If I get out of "car1" then the script will end. If that can't be done, how do I get my original scripts to stop looping when I get out?

I have a unit that puts on and takes off a mask through an addaction command. I want to flash text repeatedly on their screen that says "Mask On" when they have the mask on and when they take it off the text will go away. I'm guessing that this command would execute at the end of the script that puts the mask on, but I don't know how to write it so it repeats until I take the mask off. This will also be used in multiplayer. Thanks.

So lets say I wanted to replace the NVgoggles. Where are all of the files associated with them? Is it as simple as just relplacing the model and optics files and updating the config, or would I have to take apart a major addon and recompile it with the changes? There's really no other way around the setObjectTexture command in MP, why would BIS have it work in SP and not MP.

I am incorporated emergency lights on a couple vehicles I'm working on, police cars, firetrucks, and ambulances. I am running into two problems that will probably be solved with one simple thing I'm doing wrong. (1) When I start the mission the lights are already visible, I don't want them visible until I turn them on. (2) The lights are not illuminated at night. Please help. Thanks.

Thank you, I fixed it and it works. Stupid brackets always appearing in the wrong place. They should have colors so you know what sections your closing off.

I am using a gas mask addon in my missions, but when I put the gas mask on it doesn't change your vision at all. I would like to either put up optics, like when your looking through NVgoggles, to black out the sides you couldn't see OR when the mask goes up, tint everything yellow. I also need it playable in multiplayer and MP doesn't recognize the setObjectTexure command. Can the gas mask be modeled like NVgoggles? Can all of the NVgoggles files be copied and modified to make the mask work? Could somebody please help me out? Thanks.

I need help with a config error. Â I am adding 2 vehicles with different p3d files but everything else is the same. Â When the game launches I get an error that says: "No entry 'config.bin/CfgVehicles/CfgWeapons.scope'.

So, not only do I need optics for my Gas Mask, but I also need it playable in multiplayer and MP doesn't recognize the setObjectTexure command. What if the gas mask was modeled like NVgoggles, would that work. Can all of the NVgoggles files be copied and modified to make the mask work?

I just tried that and it doesn't really work the way you would want it to.

I've checked out their addon already and I don't believe they have included this sort of thing in their work.

Do you have an example of your description.ext file and your script that applies and removes the cutscene? I have no experience with any of these things.

I am using a gas mask addon in my missions, but when I put the gas mask on it doesn't change your vision at all. I would like to either put up optics, like when your looking through binos, to black out the sides you couldn't see OR when the mask goes up, put a yellow tint over my eyes. The problem is that I don't know how to do either, so could somebody please help me out. Thanks.

Is it possible to reassign a key on the keyboard to execute a script? I want to be able to use a gasmask just like Binos or night vision.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.
