Sniper Bunkers v1.0 (setPos creations!)

[Chrispy]

It's all in the readme. I would really be happy if this makes it to the Editors Depot.

Tell me what you think guys. If there's any "problems", they'll be fixed in the very future. For now, I guess this is just "as is" (I hope that makes sense to you guys lol).

Enjoy!

May you attach a picture showing these bunkers to your first post?

hi Chris, i just had a look at this and read your readme.

so the player doesnt see or hear the buildings falling down and
go what the!"

stop the player from hearing and seeing you would have to make an Init in the folder and  name all the objects this should work

Code: [Select]

object1 setDammage 0.99
object2 setDammage 0.99
object3 setDammage 0.99
object4 setDammage 0.99i think there is to many bushes and buildings,ect, id make it less complex so someone wanting to use this could copy the objects he wants and form it to his liking, also the bushes are to tall. i really only found one good snipping spot.
   cheers schuler, hope that helps
EDIT i had setDammage at .99 it is to be 0.99

Well when I was making the bunkers, I was actually happy about the way they were - but of course not everyone's gonna agree with me. Like said, they can always edit the bunkers to their likings if they wish. I may add duplicates of some without any foliage (so they can choose whether they want a one that already has foliage or one they want to add foliage to ).

Also, you mean init.sqs? When I actually did the objects I didn't do something like "object1 setdammage 1" - I made it "this setdammage 1" - so is there some way we can still use the init.sqs if it uses "this" rather than "name"?

Thanks man. I'll release a v1.1 eventually. For now, it would be good if it's in the Ed Depot. Let's see.

I tried what you did Schuler but it didn't work. I made an init.sqs and added "wall setdammage 0.99" and executed it in the game - no luck. Tried it in the wall's init field as well.

Also, regarding the tall bushes, yeah, that was intentional. Although it is not realistic to have tall bushes sticking out of solid walls, walls can always have gaps.

I'll take your suggestions onboard though. Anyone else's opinion?

Chris

[schuler]

ya Chis, for you info the setDammge 0.99 is more for cars, trucks. i didn't test it on walls and such, sorry about he disinformation 

[Chrispy]

Early today I did actually try it out on the Jeep in OFP (put the damage to 0.99). And then it just blows up after like five seconds - so in that case, if it did work for walls, then the wall would just fall down after five seconds - as opposed to already being on the ground without hearing or seeing it.

I also can't use setPos to make the wall look like it's down (someone from the staff here said it).

Would this make it to the Editors Depot as is right now? I was thinking of having it on the depot and updating it later, rather than update it later on, then have it on the depot. However, it's the staff's decision. Haven't really gotten a yes or no whether it'll be on the depot, but I'll let you guys decide.

Don't worry, I won't be pissed if ya guys say no - I'm not like that, heh.

this is directly related to you having v 1.46. i just tried it to make sure it work , used a empty jeep and an AI jeep. both looked like they where hit by a tank and smoked no sound
 

"from your other post-" Lol, well would you still advise me to get Resistance if I showed you this list...?:

OK i wont say another thing about it!    you must feel like this  i would be! ya poor bugger
 if its worth anything, you do make me laugh

setDammage works for most if not all objects, including sandbag walls.

[Chrispy]

So wait - all I have to do is go to the wall's init field in the Mission Editor, and make the setDammage 0.99? Even if I have v1.46, if I make all the walls have 0.99 damage, and then attach it, and someone with Resistance checks it out, it'll be fine for them? schuler, when you tested out this resource, did you make the walls 0.99 and did it work?

I still also need the word if this or not is going to the Editors Depot...

Here's some things I'm gonna do for v1.1:

- 0.99 setDammage for walls (if schuler or whoever actually confirms the walls I used in the resource fallen down without a sound or anything).
- Changes/remove some bushes.
- Add some more bunkers (non-foliage ones generally).

Chris

[schuler]

this setDammage 0.99 can be put in the init of the ojbects or in a Init.sqs. i told you to put it in the Init.sqs, but thats the way i would have done it, thinking it would run quicker, but i dont know .
as for submitting it, i honestly think most mission makers would already use this consept.
u can make a ver 1.1 and let me know. i'll have another look at it. and see what it does w/ 1.96. i'll tell you how it works.
ok 
   p.s. i myself would delete some stuff and make it more of a 'bunker style' instead of a lots of places to hide. u know likke a box. sort of like bushes where dragged there to make it a bunker. 'kinda like putting twigs and leaves in a helmet for camo.' if u get my point 

[Chrispy]

Okay schuler, lol.

I'll add about 10-15 more bunkers, and consider whatever above.

Also, I won't be using the init.sqs - I'll put it in the objects' init fields... Basically because:

- It's quicker obviously IMO (well, for me anyway I guess).
- If someone were to copy those bunkers and implement them into his/her map(s), they'd have to go copy the init.sqs (assuming some of them don't know that they are able to change this and put the setDammage 0.99 in the walls' init fields).
- And because I feel like it... hehe...

hello Chris,

i would like to test your sniper bunkers, but the mission gives me an error message:

No entry    'config.bin/CfgVehiclesAAA174'     

Is this a missing addon? Can you provide the downloadlink for it?
 

[Chrispy]

dr. seltnam, do you have these?:

- v1.46 of OFP.
- Editor102/103 addon.

I think it's because you don't have Editor102/103 - you can get that here:
http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=list&game=OFP&type=to&cat=xyz

If you have both - then I'll have to see... I only used the Editor addon in this resource. The AA174 is classified under mission.sqm as "EMPTY" - which means it could be an object that was unlocked with the Editor addon.

Hope that solves your problem - if not, I've got some serious checking to do.

I also got the same error when checking this running 1.46.

However, running 1.96, everything worked ok.

AAA174 btw is krovi_bigest.p3d..........a bush.
