Title: Mission series idea: Non-Combat
Post by: OFPJunkie on 03 Dec 2005, 06:12:23: While I'm slowly working on my Air Assault mission I had a nice idea, which would be better suited towards the entire community.

I saw a Navy seal training mission that gave some ideas that we can create non-combat training missions (Live fire excercises, flash-nade obstacle courses...)

Hell, if someone has the time they could script 20 minutes of a drill sergeant swearing at a bunch of marines...lol.

i was thinking about some missions like this, but, would be very time comsuming, and, sciprts would be very complex, but all in all,
Great Idea ;D

Another interesting idea is to set up pop-up targets and tank targets. Then what you need to do is script it so that the soldiers see them as hostiles and BAM you got a live fire excercise!

How fun did you find the first mission of OpFlash?

Not much, I imagine.

Not necesarily (sp).
The CWC one wasnt crap, nor was it paticulary fun. But it was intended to train the soldier. This could be good idea, wouldnt mind playing it once done.

Post by: SgtSlick on 04 Jun 2006, 23:27:19: I can't really see OFP AI soldiers moving from place to another stepping in the exact same place. It is essential that hey do for live fire missions. You forget that the AI in this game is a bit... stupid/uncoordinated. you would have to script every single anim for the AI to move where you want it. its just too complicated... but good idea though.

Post by: Mikero on 07 Jun 2006, 23:40:41: the only real problem with non-combat missions is the speed of play. without that ak47 or whatever it's a frustrating crawl from there to here.

I have however played really good ones, the best involved vehicles which completely removed the slowness. In one, it was a storyline of getting crippled tanks repaired and refuelled, dodging land mines, that sort of thing. I'm not the least interested in race-car scenarios, that's too non-ofp for me, but certainly is a non-combatant buisiness and many people love it. For me, Tanks, were the way to go, with considerable danger all around.

The other scenario I played was as unarmed medic, now _that_, was a challenge!

Post by: PetriHonka on 12 Aug 2006, 21:18:04: an idea i had but gave up on a while ago was that you were a civilian trying to get to the recruitment centre on the opposite side of the island. you had to find a way around obstacles such as blown up roads, tanks, plane crashes and battles.
