Title: Switch to any man in group
Post by: mireazma on 18 Sep 2008, 09:27:13
Hello. I hope I don't want too much.
There's a script out there that simulates helmet camera. It's very neat and much more useful. This I can imagine how was done, mainly. I can't figure out whether it would be possible this one:

I got this itchy need to be actually able to be the soldier whose cam I see.
So, I pause myself, be that soldier, leave him and return to me. Just like in "Ghost Recon".

I'm not implying that it should be done easy by several sqs's. But even through cpp's, do you think it can be done?

Not possible in OFP. Possible in Arma.

  A few years ago a guy at my office made a mission where you would "getpos" any named member in your group and get his weapons through some "removallweapons; addmagazine etc." type of script. 

  While it was a generic means of performing what the OP is looking for it did get the job done in a way.  You just selected a group member and then teleported to his location and had the same weapon loadout.  I cant recall if you teleported back to your original location though.

  Maybe something like that would work as a compromise.

Clever work-around.
