this code doesnt work .

[Mandoble]

use assignAsCargo for each unit in your groups when both, corresponding truck driver and leader of units group are ready and between the move commands and the check for ready insert a ~4 then issue also an allowgetin command.

[BozBog]

Hey mando, is this what you mean? i changed the para's to this script, as when the unit's were spotted trigger, the other script was executed and the para's came flying over the fallback trigger.. so i put the para's in the fallback trigger.. so they attack you when you are running to safe haven).. so here's the script.. the last parts dont work.. the unit's do not move to their position at safe haven at all...

but i changed it to

Code: [Select]

glad i got that part working. cheers

EDITx2: CR*P cant seem to get all the unit's to get in the trucks.. seems only the leader's get in.. weird.

[Mandoble]

Move the ~4 below the allowgetin
and with this
@(unitReady leader grp4)&&(unitReady leader grp5)&&(unitReady leader grp6)&&(unitReady leader grp7)
you are only checking that your leaders are ready, not that anyother alive unit is in the trucks.

[BozBog]

Lol mad and crazy.. i cant seem to get this script to work.. of course im an ArmA noob.. so.. hope thats fine lol

The problem's with the scripts are

Code: [Select]

[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp4]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp5]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp6]
[{_x allowGetIn true}forEach units grp7]
~4

@(unitReady grp4)&&(unitReady grp5)&&(unitReady grp6)&&(unitReady grp7)

exit
these parts..

The top part.. cant seem to get ALL the unit's into the trucks (this comes up with error.. but last time, only the leaders jumped in the trucks..)

the bottom part.. Mando is rite, it checked the leader earlier.. i dont know how to check for all the units..

i tried it with this.. dont work

Code: [Select]

@(grp4 in vehicle)&&(grp5 in vehicle)&&(grp6 in vehicle)&&(grp7 in vehicle)

[Mandoble]

@{alive _x} count units grp# == {_x in vehicle#} count units grp#

[BozBog]

Argh i sorta wanted to clean up my script.. so i seperated part's of them, including where the truck picks up the units.. so that the truck move's individually when a grp finished getting inside it.. soo i created another script for that.. and i cant get it to work.. lol i've given up on this almost, so iv'e uploaded the mission files.. hope noone steals my ideas'/ scripts' without asking me.. i just posting for help thats all cheers.

edit:

Well.. i thought about it.. ive posted the scripts below in order they start to give you guys an idea and any possible changes that could be made.. ill point out where it dont work.

Basically the mission starts.. you walk around with your group until all of a sudden an alarm sounds.. the trigger is activated when it is OPFOR detected by BLUFOR
and this script starts.. seems to be fine here.

Then all the cycle waypoints stops, and the unit's move to their position and attack any enemy on sight.. the waypoint they move to defend has a lockWP in it.

Then if any enemy guys get's pasts the machine guns into the town.. another script start's telling everyone to fall back.. so it's up to the player's ability to stop them getting into the town, otherwise this script will start.

Ahh lol that helped a bit lol it didnt seem to work, so i deleted it hehe, it's been replaced now.. about

Code: [Select]

_veh = _this select 1 what does the error Zero Divisor mean?

[Mandoble]

May be you are executing that script with less than three parameters. Look how do you execute that back to base script.

[BozBog]

Code: [Select]

([grp4,truck1,baselog1]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp5,truck2,baselog2]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp6,truck3,baselog3]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
~0.1
([grp7,truck4,baselog4]exec "trucktobase.sqs")
Lol im using all 3 parameters.. maybe something has changed in the patch or summin... but then it couldnt cos it works elsewhere.. weird.

[BozBog]

I know why this isnt working.. because none of the scripts are being executed.. wth! i put a radio check in the scripts i want executed.. but theyre not playing! guess that's the reason why... can someone give me a pointer on how to execute a script from within a script? cant seem to figure it out..

[Mandoble]

As you do, with exec for SQS and execVM for SQF. Anyway, why do you put ( ) there?

[BozBog]

Because either way i do it.. none of the scripts execute.. ever.. this is getting weirder and weirder.. and annoying too.. maybe there's a bug in the commands?

[Mandoble]

Check where you execute all the scripts and the conditions that should be met (any if, ? or @ before the execs)
