Title: detecting soldiers at a city
Post by: OFP_f3d3 on 02 Feb 2011, 19:04:01

ok,here´s the deal.
I´m making a new coop mission for arma but i have a big problem. A sniper will tell the spec-ops the position of the soldiers he detects when i activate a button that says "enemy detected", then he´ll say "Alpha, i detected a unit at ----Position-----" there position will be replaced by the position of the soldiers that the sniper saw when he activated the button "enemy detected"

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS???????? I´m new at ARMA but i know alot of ofp

OFP code still works in Arma. Well, most of it anyways. So if you know an old way of doing what you want, chances are, you'll be able to duplicate it in the later titles.

How about trying the nearTargets (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=663&game=All) command and then reveal it to the group of Spec Ops.

Might also want to have a look through the ED, Cheetah's GetRCoord (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=359&game=ArmA) function might be useful.
