Hi there people, new here. Just wondering if u pro's can help wit this
script for ArmA.. dont seem to work for me..
Basically, these guys are on patrol round a city.. fair enough, this is
all done Via waypoints.. but i have 200+ enemy units coming on the
way to them, and i dont wanna fill the map with waypoints i cant see..
so i thought about using scripts to make the way points, problem is..
they dont seem to work.

"ammob" is the ammo crate the groups (grp4,grp5,grp6,grp7,grp8) need's to go too.. i cant find any other
way of making the group go to a position without having object. All the grp's have a cycle at waypoint
number 2 except grp8 (tanks) their cycle waypoint is at number 4. Basically i wanna stop this cycle so they
move to "ammob" and defend the position.
I will also create another script where the remaining live unit's will fall back and go to the base to protect that..
where the enemy is heading.. any suggestion on this? or will the addwaypoint work once the enemy has pass
into the town (the fallback is scripted too)
I hope someone can help, i did read the commands in the WIKI.. but they dont fully explain everything clearly,
and other possible ways to use a command.
I am open for critiscm or woteva u wanna give me.. maybe other ways of making this script without much hard
work. Thxs for help
-
It's possible to use "domove" instead of controlling their waypoints. Create a marker at the ammo crate "MarkerAmmo" and then in your script:
{_x domove (getmarkerpos "MarkerAmmo")} foreach units grp1
{_x domove (getmarkerpos "MarkerAmmo")} foreach units grp2
{_x domove (getmarkerpos "MarkerAmmo")} foreach units grp3
etc etc
you could also
{_x setbehaviour "Combat"} foreach units grp1
and what not to get them into combat mode.
-
Thxs matey, ill be sure to give that a try.. just hope it stops them going to their waypoints after that. :)
-
it does work.. though the unit's go back to their waypoints..
Thing is though i used CommandMove.. they both do work but none of them stops waypoints?
I hope someone can help with my waypoint problem.. otherwise i gonna have to script all the patrols..
edit: oops soz bout that.. i forgot to modify my other post.. my bad
this is wot script looks like atm

Might be worth checking out Kronzky's Urban Patrol Script.
Noticed that we don't have the script here at OFPEC in the Ed. Depot.
-
Yeh that script is good.. but is there a way to turn it off so the groups can go to the base if the enemy passes a trigger? basically the patrol groups are fleeing and returning to base and staying there to fight.
Soz, im noob :/ :)
-
Bump lol not a very popular forum for ArmA people but then i mite be totally wrong about that comments.. people do have a life.. so im not offending any1 here.
I just hoping someone can just give me a quick pointer/tips on how to do this and i'll take a shot at it myself.
cya

no reply in less than 24 hours does not warrant bumping a thread - the minimum time is 3 days.
you have to understand that yours is not a simple question - you're basically asking someone to fix your problem for you, without having all the details in front of them. with editors busy on their own projects it's not surprising that you're getting such a weak response.
my own advice would be along the lines of what cheetah has already suggested: take kronzky's script apart, try to see what it's doing and work it out from there.
-
Do not delete any waypoint, just lock them with group LockWp true.
Then move your groups with move command, not doMove.
group move position.
Dont move all the groups to the same marker position, if the groups have many units it will be a total mess and some units will be interfering the aiming of some others. You may place as many markers as groups, make each group to move to its corresponding marker and then also set the heading formation of the group so each group heads towards the defending position from its current position.
group setFormDir heading
To check that everyone is ready use the following after the last move command.

Hey bedge's sorry bout that.. other forums hav different rules.. i guess i misread some of the rules on here.. my bad (but yeh i did read em, not fully tho cos i thought they were same as other forums) soz! Wont do that again!!
Hey mandoble.. that works! thanxs man, u did it for me.. and by the sound of it.. you did it again! (helpin sum1 fix probs) guess ur the soul of arma.
Thxs dude's for all the help, i guess i can lock the topic now.. and let it RIP or help sum1 else :).
cya!

I forgot something
You need to detect when the danger situation is gone, with a trigger or whatever else setting some global var to true and after that unlock the WPs of all your groups so they resume their planed waypoints:
;AT THE END OF YOUR SCRIPT
@danger_is_gone
?allive Officer: Officer sideChat "Enemy has been defeated"
{_x lockWp false} forEach [grp4, grp5, .... ]
-
Couldn't he simply create a waypoint cycle with a switch?
Create your 5 waypoints with the last being CYCLE type.
Create a 6th waypoint at the ammobox.
Create a trigger of type SWITCH and make your condition whatever condition launches that script of yours.
You can also launch the script for the text displayed or use the EFFECTs button.
Syncronize the trigger with the 5th waypoint
No deleteing waypoints, adding them, locking them, etc...
[EDIT] The 5th waypoint does not need to be of type CYCLE, but they will just stop and wait there. By making it cycle, they keep moving... unless of course you prefer them to stop at waypoint 5 and wait.
-
Hi im back again with some more problems.. Thnxs to crashdome and every1else, i managed to get it to work.. i realised that the unit's never moved because my cycle was not "Switched" to the next movement via the trigger.. thxs to crashdome :),
and Mandoble for is @unitisready sort of thing, and every1 else who tried to help.. now im having another problem.
Here's the same script, with lots of stuff removed.

On the map, i have a gamelogic and i placed it hight with the "this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),+70] and i name it logic.. now on the script, i tried to create a parachute up there.. well, that part of the script works, though in game i cant see a parachute, and to create unit.. i used the wiki for this, copied the exact code and changed the word.. and it's saying error.. i tried this with createUnit command.. but realised i need a group to create the unit in.. so i decided to use the createAgent command (says to create single unit's) and i cant get any of it to work... it wont be created.. and i dont know how to name it so that it moveindriver para.
Hope someone can help :) cheers!

Parachutes seems to be always created at ground level, you need to setPos them. I added a bit of separation too so you dont have all the chutes messed up at the same spot in the space.
...
_ang = 0
para = "ParachuteEast" createVehicle [0,0,0]
para = setPos [(getPos logic select 0)+sin(_ang)*20,(getPos logic select 1)+cos(_ang)*20, getpos logic select 2]
east = createAgent ["SoldierEB", position player,[],0,"FORM"]
east moveInDriver para
_ang = _ang + 45
para1 = "ParachuteEast" createVehicle [0,0,0]
para1 = setPos [(getPos logic select 0)+sin(_ang)*20,(getPos logic select 1)+cos(_ang)*20, getpos logic select 2]
east1 = createAgent ["SoldierEB", position player,[],0,"FORM"]
east1 moveInDriver para1
_ang = _ang + 45
para2 = "ParachuteEast" createVehicle [0,0,0]
para2 = setPos [(getPos logic select 0)+sin(_ang)*20,(getPos logic select 1)+cos(_ang)*20, getpos logic select 2]
east2 = createAgent ["SoldierEB", position player,[],0,"FORM"]
east2 moveInDriver para2

Hey man, sorry to say.. the script doesnt work for some reason.. when i start the script it always comes up with an error for para2.. but para and para1 are not spawning too.. strange thing this. para2 error.. it says something about missing a ; which is weird..
here's the current script, i wanted to see if the error was for all three para's by add a time between their spawns, but it always jumps to para2.
Hope you can help :)

Change east by east0 as east is a reserved word for east side. Why do you use createAgent instead of createUnit?
-
He wants to avoid adding the unit to a group.
What I normally do is add him to a group unit and immediatly join GrpNull him.
-
Guess it still dont work :(.. i tried what Mandoble sed.. and about the GrpNull..
...Gosh i ask too much, is that ok? lol well.. how would i go about doing it
properly? the wiki didnt help as i entered the command as shown, and it didnt
work (that was before i used createagent). Thnxs for help :).
-
this is interesting, it would certainly help, however in my opinion the bads out weight the goods here (but with 200+ soldiers on the map at once.. nothings good :P ). For one, this method takes a lot longer, and secondly its a lot easier and more precise to do it in the editor. However the main good point is that it looks a lot nicer :D but the player wont know that..
-
LOL first change all the para# = setPos by para# setPos. the = sign is breaking the code there.
EDIT: And aside of that, createAgent command doesnt seem to work at all. And BIS Wiki indicates:
"This is a reserved keyword for future implementations"
-
Looool i realised that too in the code.. doh both made same mistake. lol bout createAgent, i didnt notice that line in the Wiki.
Everything seems to be working now apart from the units.. and maybe.. if a parachute will only be seen if a unit is in it as i dont see it flying down. oh well, anyways, gonna experiment on the createUnit command.. mite be the only way.
thanks :)
-
Loooool! Looks funny when a unit spawns in midair at 50 meters and they have to get the parachute out quick lol! So i upped it to 150 meters.
Here's the script, it works like a charm ;) hehe thxs all.. can i keep this thread open for any other problems i may have? thxs, cya!

editx2: Lol i am interested in the createCenter command.. any chance to tell me what it actually does.. hard to understand on the wiki.. and whether it is useful for my mission.. which involves the play protecting Corozal and when the enemies get closer to the town (more than 200+ units) (IT DONT SLOW MY COMP SO MUCH :D) the current groups protecting Corozal retreats and goes back to the base near the corozal, and protect that.
-
createCenter is used to create a side when no units of that side are intially on the map.
For example, if you put only west side units on the map, east side will not exist, and you will not be able to create any group of east side. But if you place a single east unit in the map, east side is created and then you can create any east group too.
If you want to spawn all your units using scripts, so you will start with none but the payer and its group, then use createCenter at init.sqs to be sure other sides exist. createCenter east, createCenter resistance, createCenter west or/and createCenter civilian.
May be you would also be able to createCenters (sides) for enemy and friendly. enemy and friendly are listed as sides, units in enemy side are enemies to everyone, units in friendly side are friendly to anyone.
-
Ahh rite, nothin i could use lol.. but.. sounds like there may be a possibility that we can have more sides than those mentioned above.. i hope so too.
lool i making another script now.. so the unit's can fallback.. i kno i ask too much.. if thats ok? lol but im wonderin how do i make the unit move to the vehicle and get in it? I dont wanna use moveInCargo.. as it jumps em in.. is there any other way? thxs so much.

use assignAsCargo for each unit in your groups when both, corresponding truck driver and leader of units group are ready and between the move commands and the check for ready insert a ~4 then issue also an allowgetin command.
-
Hey mando, is this what you mean? i changed the para's to this script, as when the unit's were spotted trigger, the other script was executed and the para's came flying over the fallback trigger.. so i put the para's in the fallback trigger.. so they attack you when you are running to safe haven).. so here's the script.. the last parts dont work.. the unit's do not move to their position at safe haven at all...

but i changed it to

glad i got that part working. cheers :)
EDITx2: CR*P cant seem to get all the unit's to get in the trucks.. seems only the leader's get in.. weird.
-
Move the ~4 below the allowgetin
and with this
@(unitReady leader grp4)&&(unitReady leader grp5)&&(unitReady leader grp6)&&(unitReady leader grp7)
you are only checking that your leaders are ready, not that anyother alive unit is in the trucks.
-
Lol mad and crazy.. i cant seem to get this script to work.. of course im an ArmA noob.. so.. hope thats fine lol :)
The problem's with the scripts are
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp4]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp5]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp6]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp7]
~4
@(unitReady grp4)&&(unitReady grp5)&&(unitReady grp6)&&(unitReady grp7)
exit
these parts..
The top part.. cant seem to get ALL the unit's into the trucks (this comes up with error.. but last time, only the leaders jumped in the trucks..)
the bottom part.. Mando is rite, it checked the leader earlier.. i dont know how to check for all the units..
i tried it with this.. dont work
@(grp4 in vehicle)&&(grp5 in vehicle)&&(grp6 in vehicle)&&(grp7 in vehicle)
-
@{alive _x} count units grp# == {_x in vehicle#} count units grp#
-
Argh i sorta wanted to clean up my script.. so i seperated part's of them, including where the truck picks up the units.. so that the truck move's individually when a grp finished getting inside it.. soo i created another script for that.. and i cant get it to work.. lol i've given up on this almost, so iv'e uploaded the mission files.. hope noone steals my ideas'/ scripts' without asking me.. i just posting for help thats all :) cheers.
edit:
Well.. i thought about it.. ive posted the scripts below in order they start to give you guys an idea and any possible changes that could be made.. ill point out where it dont work.
Basically the mission starts.. you walk around with your group until all of a sudden an alarm sounds.. the trigger is activated when it is OPFOR detected by BLUFOR
and this script starts.. seems to be fine here.

Then all the cycle waypoints stops, and the unit's move to their position and attack any enemy on sight.. the waypoint they move to defend has a lockWP in it.
Then if any enemy guys get's pasts the machine guns into the town.. another script start's telling everyone to fall back.. so it's up to the player's ability to stop them getting into the town, otherwise this script will start.

Nearer the end of fallback.sqs.. another script start's.. i made this so that it checks the vehicle's individually so they dont rely on one piece of code to make them all leave at the same time.. i wanted idividuality.

Ahh lol that helped a bit lol it didnt seem to work, so i deleted it hehe, it's been replaced now.. about
_veh = _this select 1 what does the error Zero Divisor mean?
-
May be you are executing that script with less than three parameters. Look how do you execute that back to base script.
-
([grp4,truck1,baselog1]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp5,truck2,baselog2]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp6,truck3,baselog3]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp7,truck4,baselog4]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
Lol im using all 3 parameters.. maybe something has changed in the patch or summin... but then it couldnt cos it works elsewhere.. weird.
-
I know why this isnt working.. because none of the scripts are being executed.. wth! i put a radio check in the scripts i want executed.. but theyre not playing! guess that's the reason why... can someone give me a pointer on how to execute a script from within a script? cant seem to figure it out..
-
As you do, with exec for SQS and execVM for SQF. Anyway, why do you put ( ) there?
-
Because either way i do it.. none of the scripts execute.. ever.. this is getting weirder and weirder.. and annoying too.. maybe there's a bug in the commands?
-
Check where you execute all the scripts and the conditions that should be met (any if, ? or @ before the execs)
-
nope.. nothing.. check here

Hi.. i seemed to have figured it out.. tho the para.sqs is not working. It seems as the script folders dont work, and something in the para.sqs code.. which is weird. Took my ages to figure this out, now the truck picks up the unit's and take them back too the base woo!.. I wanna know.. how would i go about making a grp move to a position.. but somehwere around that position a set distance away...
So basically a random position around the officer within 10m.. i tried this
_grp move (getPos officer)sin+5,(getPos officer)cos+4) but due to my rubbish knowledge.. and of course in my logical brain this looks weird.. can someone help me? thanks.
edit: Oh yeh, here's the move script.. works like a charm... guess some people can use it for their missions? lol free script from me!

thxs a bunch..
I now have another problem! ARGGHH im full of problems!! After my the group leader groupChat's to his team (custom groupChat) nothing else appears afterwards.. i kno cos everytime i press 5,5 (where are you?) he doesnt answer via radio but i do hear him say it.. no groupChat built in message appears...

Its right after the getin marker. Also.. (im thicko lol) is there a way to make the unit's forefully move and at the same time say it on the radio? im sick of the leader say go to blah blah blah (their cycle waypoint) then all of a sudden the leader turns around and run the other way as if abandoning the waypoint and going to a new one without even saying anythin.
now only one more thing that needs fixing (i think)
and it's nothing this community can do.. they need to fix the path finding in all the cities.. it take's age's for a group to move 100 meters to a truck and get in it..
thanks :) :good:

lol if it's an english word.. i've never heard of it.. Mando's soo full on advance language! Soz lool wot does that mean? I tried online dictionary.. doesnt help, but i can only guess.. Monstrous? Large? You mean that bit of code is too much? lol.. maybe i should have learnt that at school.. doh!
If that's so.. i'll research on the code now :) hehe thxs.
