New Mine Script! Calls Down Artillery!

[Kyle]

I was really bored and felt like seeing some people (on OFP) get blown to smithereens!  So, what I did was I made a mine script that, when it goes off, it takes out about half of the squad, and then calls in artillery simulated through a smoke grenade bursting at the mine position and then about 4 rounds hitting in random places around the mine position.  It adds a pretty interesting twist to the next time you step on a mine in OFP!  So, go ahead, and try my mine script!  (You need resistance!)

OK, I have a few comments on this one.

1. The grenades that gave the mine a little more dammage should be a bit closer to the mine itself, it looks quite silly now.
2. You gonna add sound to that arty? And I would like to see a bit more waiting time as well.
3. You've done the arty script wrong m8y, it's not random.
4. Some drop command effects should be nice on this one.

So i say im testing it and some **** goes and downloads it and gets a post done before me ?? i hint a bit of childishness ??

Anyway: -

1:) -- Whats the purpose of the human head ??  

2:) -- Like Sir Armsty said, this script is wrong, to begin with it looks kinda ... wierd ??

3:) -- Take out the 0.002 delays from the script so the explosions are created together at the same time, see hwta you think, id prefere it without a dleay but it might just be personal preference
 
4:) -- Try a green smoke shell, i think it gives some more atmosphere than a red one on the battle ground

5:) Why are there two scripts in ht emission folder when only one is used (mine.sqs), thye both have exactly the same content...

6:) whats "diewilliam" all about - i cant find any reference in the mission to "diewilliam"

Hope this is enuf for now... more to come...

RHys

EDIT :- May i ask why you have used this lets sya LONG method of creating the explosions ?? first of all when i try changing something to help on improvements i cant see the error bit , its of the screen  ;D Of course if this is the way you have learnt to make arty like scripts then so be it - i apologize and i shall say no more

WOW old post, but erm, thx for the responses (tries to remember when he posted these).  I'll organize my answers...


Armstrong:  As i had said (i think) in the first post I had done this script just for a bit of fun during boredom.  I did it just to make one of my friend pay for not dying on multiplayer (mwahaha  :beat: ) but thx for tellin me that the script was not right.  Could you tell me your way of doing random variables.  Although I have done some scripts already, I am still a noob to random variables..so any help IS appreciated.  I had started this script earlier and it was good and then something fu**ed up and my script was wrong and i just finished it in a hurry.  Now that you say it, i think i will add sound to the arty for more atmosphere and the drop commands would be great but I'm not THAT great at em.  Thx for the review...now erm rhysduk ol' pal from the car bomb script is next...

Rhysduk: I am sorry that Armstrong beat you to the punch, lol   .  There is absolutely no purpose of the human head except that it is big enough to see and (*CHUCKLE*) it kind of scares ppl to look at a head and then it blows up...   Ok and about the random variables look above at armstrongs section, i dont understand random variables, etc.   Um I had the .002 delays in there to try to simulate different guns firing (because they never fire EXACTLY at the same time.  I guess I could use a green smoke shell, I just used the red because red kinda means death but I'll change it.  Ok and about the "diewilliam.sqs" script, I thought I had deleted that from the mission.sqm but I guess I forgot.. o well, it was just for a friend as I said above (his name is William, get it, diewilliam, die william, uh ha!) ok anyway that is what that is for.  And lol rhysduk no reason to say sorry, if i had more time in life, i would try to make a different way for me to make arty, but this was a fast script.


Thank you all for reviewing my script and I shall try to make the changes you have suggested.  Thank you again,

Um I had the .002 delays in there to try to simulate different guns firing (because they never fire EXACTLY at the same time.

Um yeha my mistake, come to htink of it ill put them back in and play around with them a bit more see hwat happens

Ok and about the "diewilliam.sqs" script, I thought I had deleted that from the mission.sqm but I guess I forgot
