Mando Bombs and Mando Air Support (ACCEPTED)

[Mandoble]

Opening the script you only need to locate

Code: [Select]

case "CALL_EVAC":

Just a bit below there is the crew creation code:

Code: [Select]

      _driver = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];
      _driver setskill 0.5;
      _driver setCombatMode "BLUE";
      _driver setBehaviour "CARELESS";
      _driver setRank "CORPORAL";
      _group selectLeader _driver;
      _driver moveInDriver _plane;

By default, only the driver is created there (mainly because you might be using chopper classes which only driver and cargo slots).
Anyway, just below that you may add more crew members.

ok thanks mando  I thought of that but didn't know for sure so next time i better listen to myslef

Hey Supergrun, could u point me in the dir of the solution for getting a full blackhawk crew using the dialog screen??

Cheers...

[Mandoble]

Same as with the non dialog version, open mando_airsupportdlg.sqf and look for

Code: [Select]

   case "CALL_EVAC":

A bit below that you will find:

Code: [Select]

            _driver = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];
            _driver setskill 0.5;
            _driver setCombatMode "BLUE";
            _driver setBehaviour "CARELESS";
            _driver setRank "CORPORAL";
            _group selectLeader _driver;
            _driver moveInDriver _plane;

Just below these lines you may create and add more crew members to your chopper.

Hello! I am new here, I am Spanish may English is not very good.

I have three questions:

The first is that I can put de gunner in the heli but I don't know how to put the second door gunner.

The second question is that sometimes I have a bug in the missions and some players can't go out from de heli when it lands in the evacuation point.

Finally I want to know I the script is compatible with ACE mod without using mando bombs addon, the ACE mod have a game logic called Mando bombs but not all functions works.

Thank you for your attention. Wonderfull script.

Hey bud welcome. It think you mean to be at Mando Missiles, not bombs. Check this thread http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=29031.0 . In the mean time here's a good reference for ACE to check out: http://www.acemod.net/wiki/ACE:Feature:Missiles

Take care.

Hola Gerard,
To place a gunner in anyother turret than the default gunner one you might need to use moveInTurret command. Extra available turrets need to be defined into the config of the chopper class you are using.

The console script does nothing to prevent crew members to exit or eject from the chopper at any time, so that issue should be caused by something else, or even a bug in ArmA kernel.

There is no mando bombs addon, might be you mean mando missile addon. Mando bombs works with mando missile addon (you may initialize it with mando_missile gamelogic in your map), with mando missile script suite or without any of these. If you dont use mando missile (addon or script suite) several console options will be grayed, CAP fighters will not use long range missiles, attack choppers will use only ArmA default missiles and engangement rules and planes/choppers will not use flares for self defense. I guess all mando bombs scripts are fully compatible with ACE.

Thank you for you answers are very useful.

I use the default UH-60 that have two door gunners but I can only put the left gunner. I tried to use moveinCommander or moveinTurret but don't works.

[Mandoble]

Check this thread.

BTW, if you have ACE questions, you might PM ViperMaul, surely he will have the answers.

[Gerard]

Thanks Mandoble, problem solved.

Now I have another problem. I put the two door gunners but when the chopper lands and the soldiers desembarc the chopper stay in the landing position, they don't leave away (Edit: Problem solved).

I think that wil be better that when the chooper arrives, it will appear a swithable botton to say the chopper to go away.

Some times the chooper leaves without all the players.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THESE ADDING MORE CREW MEMBERS TO THE CHOPPER:

Look for this line

Code: [Select]

            [_group, 2] setWaypointStatements ["count crew (vehicle this) > 1", "(vehicle this) flyinHeight 100"];
The chopper waits until the crew is greater than 1 member, then it waits 25 seconds and then the chopper takes off and heads towards destination.
If you add more people than just he driver, change that > 1 to > default number of crew members.

            _driver = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];
            _driver setskill 0.5;
            _driver setCombatMode "BLUE";
            _driver setBehaviour "CARELESS";
            _driver setRank "CORPORAL";
            _group selectLeader _driver;
            _driver moveInDriver _plane;

Could someone give me an example of what this should look like for a UH60 with 4 crew, pilot/ gunner x2/ co-pilot.

Cheers very much..

            _driver = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];

            _driver setBehaviour "CARELESS";

            _group selectLeader _driver;
            _driver moveInDriver _plane;
            _gunner = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];
            _gunner moveInTurret [_plane,[0]];
            _doorgunner = _group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30], [], 0, "FORM"];
            _doorgunner moveInTurret [_plane,[1]];
            _copilot =_group createUnit [_utype,[0,0,30],[],0,"FORM"];
            _copilot moveInCargo _plane;

Firstly let me say thanks to all the contributors to this site.. excellent resources, top notch.

Secondly i'm a total newbie to ArmA mission editing and scripting.  I'm in the process of making my 1st mission, a 10 slot coop mission for my community and i've been getting on pretty well.  However i'm still baffled by much of the scripting and am having to rely on other peoples scripts and missions with a bit of reverse engineering   But i'm learning fastish...

To cut to the chase... i've incorporated mando_bombs_basic_mapclick.sqf into my mission and it works a charm, but how can i limit the availability?.. for example if i want the Bomb Run to only be available every 10 minutes, for example.  I cant see any parameters in the script for this.  Is there or do i need to add my own?.. If so how do i do it or can you point me in the direction of a resource that will explain it?.

Thanks a lot of any help, i'm sure this is a basic (nobby) question.. but if you don't ask....

edit: bedges.. why did you edit my post?... all i did was highlight a section in bold?..As that is the section i wanted to highlight. Very strange.

Welcome to OFPEC! We try to keep all posts legible and easy to read for all, probably the reason the highlighting was removed. Rest assured your post will be read in full by the great Mandoble.
