Smuggler v0.08
toviper:
Hi folks,
I posted my border-checkpoint scripts in the BI-Forums a few weeks ago.
Some guys told me to put them here to let them test and evaluate.
So... here we go:
Let me explain the thing with a few words...
5 years ago I made scrips (there in OFP Res) due to work on the - never ended - campaign "The coup on Everon".
They are about a logic to control a border-checkpoint with a gate and a few soldiers. The person who wants to cross the border should be checked by a soldier. If all is OK (no weapons found), the person is allowed to pass, if not, the person is going to be arrested, and in worst case (fleeing or really trying to break through) he is to be shoot down.
I packed these scripts into a very small mission, called "Smuggler v0.08", where the player has to carry a M107 to his girl-friend who is waiting on the other side of the border. The mission playing time is about 5 minutes, only showing the scripts.
I would like to publish all these scripts, so that everyone can use it on his own. I dont think I will use them in future, because I will not have time for creating missions any more. I cannot spend more time for it, since time has come for me to go other ways. I have to cancel making scripts and missions, because my spare time goes to zero. :confused:
You can download the mission here: Download
For all english speakers I commented the scripts completely in english language, download the scripts here: Download

P.S.: Some Q&A can be found in the specific BI-Forum-Topic: Link to topic
and on Armaholic Link to topic under comments! ;)
P.S.2: I have written a small documentation for better overview: Download documentation

just finished trying it out.
nice job and thanks for putting this out there. i really like the animations the private does while checking the car.
2 things though:
i couldn't find a m107 anywhere? so i put one in. did it 3 ways..
gun in hand on foot. had to drop it to put my hands up.
gun on person as driver of vehicle.
gun in cargo of vehicle.
the gun was never recognized in the inspections by the private?
even without that.. the check point has a lot of potential for mission makers.
:good:

good, worked right (try it out in reality: put your hands up while carrying a fridgerator... :D

yeah, with that I had long thinking about. Imagine a truck and imagine you hide the weapon anywhere
on the truck...behind the motor or wherever there is place.
With a short look the person normally is not able to detect the weapon...
A missionmaker can decide if the weapon on truck should be found. For this he has to change only 1 line in the script.
That is what I mentioned: anyone can use the scripts on his own.
Thanks for looking on it! :yes:

Care to explain which line this is? As far as I'm aware, it is completely impossible to tell what weapons and magazines are in a vehicle's cargo space. I'd love to know if there is a workaround for this...

Hi!
I thought it would work anyway. Doesn't this work? :o
I never came to the point where I had to code lines for determining the cargo, because of the fact I wrote above.
Apparently BIS also never ever came to this point > I thought like BIS do (..................... please help me with my sickness ..... :D )
In any case, if there's no way to determine, we have to live with that, and so please disregard my hint with "....change one line".
Sorry for writing about something I thought and not knew exactly :blink:
If there are changes necessary a missionmaker has to add/remove/change code in following sections of the file "west_entry0_outside_1_check.sqs":
#_check_for_number_of_weapons
#_relieve_weapons
#_wait_for_gate_passed
As I mentioned before I have not the time to make the code shorter (for ex. these 3 sections maybe could be written with one function).
The facts that I can't spend more time for it and that I am far away from a "professional coder" made these scripts long and maybe sometimes "inefficient", but they work. Other guys around here are really much much better. :good:
greetings
