Title: Coverfire script EARLY BETA, NEED TESTERS!!
Post by: paddy on 01 Sep 2005, 12:10:58

Early version of coverfire by Paddy (completely untested)

- To execute - To execute coverfire
[unit] exec "coverfire.sqs"
[unit] exec "coverfire.sqs"

   N.B. remember to preprocess the random int.sqf file in init.sqs

- To execute revealtoall
[unit] exec "revealtoall.sqs"

--// coverfire.sqs is a script that makes units cover other units in the group while
they are moving.
Completely untested due to lack of time (and energy) was built for speeder and requires thorough testing HELP!!  Script must be activated for each group member. //--

--// revealtoall.sqs is a script that is similar to general barons AI info sharing
script.  Reveals presence of enemy units to whole of group when unit is detected
by ANY member of the group.  Script must be activated for each group member. //--

All feedback greatly appreciated especially code fixing help and scripting tips!!
(im not the most advanced scripter in the world)

Thankyou

This is what I get.
Am I missing something, or can you duplicate the error?

Hmm, i've just got round to testing it and I dont even get the script to take me that far, think I need to do more debugging

Help from the scripting gurus (cue guru's) would be greatly appreciated right now .....

woops, didnt even follow my own instructions ... forgot to put the triggers in the mission *duh*  ;D

I'm thinking of using Lesters invisible targets (http://www.aef-kampagne.de/english/feat_invTargets.htm) instead of creating my own lasertarget to ensure the AI will fire upon it

However AI rate of fire isn't as sporradic and continuos (especially machine gunners) as I would like. I thought of replacing the dofire command with the fire command however I am unsure as to how I would make this command 'universal' because atm you have to specify the muzzle /ammotype of the weapon you want to fire.  

Anyone have any suggestions?

well i know the "Fired" event handler has variables of the ammo type, rifle being used and muzzle so its what you need

EDIT - How about a sample mission

Mate, i was joking.  It was a valid suggestion and was appreciated.  I merely didnt have the time to make an example mission when i was making the post.

Please dont take my sarcasim the wrong way, all your comments are greatly appreciated and desired.

P.S. I'm trying to quit sarcasim, i've got patches I swear ...
