Title: How can i turn off the radar on choppers?
Post by: Tome4u on 15 May 2003, 18:53:55

I dont know if this is possible to do or not but i would like very much to turn off the radar on helicopters as i find that although the maps are very large and easy to hide in the radar ability of the choppers makes anyone in a car or vehicle a sitting duck.hope someone can help *thanks the inet god that OPEC is back online*

 I think the only way to accomplish that would be by altering the config.cpp of that helicopter....

yeah, thats the "UnitIfoType" -part of a cpp file (/vehicles{UnitInfoType=UnitInfoShip;};)


The "ship" class has compass+fuel & armor status bars (and ammo, like soldiers)

to shut it all off, try:  

             HideUnitInfo=1;

...below the unitInfo... part.  :-*


check the addon boards for details matey!

 I beg to differ Tomby  it all has to do with this:


#define CanSeeRadar 1
#define CanSeeEye 2
#define CanSeeOptics 4
#define CanSeeEar 8
#define CanSeeCompass 16
#define CanSeeRadarC CanSeeRadar+CanSeeCompass
#define CanSeeAll 31


so if you scroll a bit further down you see somethin like this:

driverCanSee = CanSeeAll
gunnerCanSee = CanSeeAll

now.. you can make your own combinations ;)

something like:

commanderCanSee = CanSeeAll;

gunnerCanSee = CanSeeOptics+CanSeeEar+CanSeeCompass;

driverCanSee = CanSeeEye+CanSeeEar+CanSeeCompass;

so only the commander has radar

A semi related question:
Can you turn on radar for an infrantry unit, using these same lines?  That is, can you make it so a foot soldier can see that radar display at the top of the screen like he would if he were in a tank?

Trying to make a sci-fi map where soldiers can see other soldiers as IR targets if they are close enough.

Any ideas?
