^ you could create a trigger activated by BLUFOR being present in the trigger area.. then in onActivation something like:

pilot1 moveinCargo chopper1; pilot2 moveinCargo chopper1

where pilot1 and pilot2 are the names of the units in the editor you are rescuing and chopper1 is the name of the rescue chopper.

Note that this will 'transport' the pilot into the chopper, not order him to get in.


If you need to keep the pilots in your squad you can prevent them from running to you by adding:

doStop this;

in the pilot's init line

It helps if you let us know what kind of script your wanting to have in your mission?

Obviously not interested in giving details about the mission, or by providing the details he would be end up banned here. :-)

There are I don't know how many threads here and the BI Forums about how to create a briefing. And also as much about radio communications.

All you have to do is looking for them, then read how it's done and play with them in your mission until it works.

Yes, it needs some work and it's not as easy as placing a few units on a map. But no one said creating missions is as easy as 1-2-3. :-)

Morning guys, need help on something that for you pro scripters might be easy but I really can't find the solution in fact it's 2 things... this is it:

1) I want to limit the amount of respawn a player gets... I know respawns take away the realism in game but for me and my friends who are big noobies it is needed. But I don't want anyone rushing the map and getting killed trizillion times. I will like to set it up for 2 maybe 3 respawns.

This is what I have in my description.ext folder:

OnLoadMission="Name of the mission";
OnLoadMissionTime=TRUE;

disabledAI=FALSE;
ShowGPS=1;
showCompass=1;
showWatch=1;
showMap=1;
showNotePad=1;
briefing=0;
debriefing=0;



class Header
{
gameType=coop;
minPlayers=2;
maxPlayers=6;
};

respawn=2;
respawnDelay=30;


2-Another thing that is really noobie and some may laugh but i can't find the way to play missions done by someone else. This is what I do:
A-Obviously I download the mission
B-I copy and paste in the following string: Arma2otherprofiles/My profile (it has my name)/mpmissions

But when I enter the game I dont see it, I go in multiplayer/NEW/then I get a list with the missions I have created but I don't see the one I just copied and paste. Help please.

Well guys hope someone can help me with this 2 problems....Thanks in advance

Does anyone know of a script that prevent a unit from crouching? I'm making a mission where a unit is behind cover and can not crouch. I used the this setunitpos "up", but it doesn't work for some reason.

this setunitpos "up"

Works fine here when placed in the init box for Soldiers but it won't work for a CIV unless you have it in a loop.

That's the problem. When the soldiers behind cover (the ones that need to stay standing up) see the enemy units, they fire off a few shots, then crouch behind cover. It completely ends the firefight, as they are all hiding.

I've been using the setunitpos script for quite some time with complete success, but for some reason its not working in this scenario.

# RyanHunter24 : That's the problem. When the soldiers behind cover (the ones that need to stay standing up) see the enemy units, they fire off a few shots, then crouch behind cover. It completely ends the firefight, as they are all hiding.

I've been using the setunitpos script for quite some time with complete success, but for some reason its not working in this scenario.

It took a while to see it and it does seem that setunitpos fails when a unit can hide behind an object, out in the open they stay upright.

I did put setposunit "up" into a loop and it seems to fix the problem.
place the execvm line into the units init, it will force the unit to stand every half second or remove the sleep and enable the waituntil, that will check the units height and force him to stand if he tries to crouch.

save the script as "keep_up.sqf"

//nul=[this] execvm "keep_up.sqf"
_who = _this select 0;

while {alive _who} do {
	//waitUntil {(_who selectionPosition "launcher" select 2)<1.2};
	_who setunitpos "up";
	sleep 0.5;
};

Hello Arma 2 Scripters,

I am looking for a script for the Marine Naval Aviator by Meatball0311 that lowers his visor...
I think it is simple animation but I do not know it

Thanks

For #1 there is no way to set a limit on # of respawns for Human players without A) Using a revive/respawn script like Norrin's revive B) Creating extra playable units on your side and upon death you can take over one of them using respawn=4 (group) or respawn=5 (side)

See here for more info on the description.ext settings:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#respawn

For example, in your description.ext you have respawn = 2 - this tells Arma to respawn you instantly right where you died, not give you 2 respawns.


For #2 you need to put mission .pbo files in your Arma directory \ MPMissions folder (or Missions for singleplayer). The stuff in your Documents\Arma Profile directory is for extracted mission .pbo files or for missions you create yourself.
