COPS: Sahrani
« on: January 06, 2008, 07:39:28 am »
ok well i need to start somewhere and if someone would like to help that would be awesome! but the scripting is mad easy i just dont know what to do so i need instruction. if someone would be so kind.

this is what i want to do:  to my revolution 05 map.[evo] kind of

whenever firefights break out, there are no fleeing pedestrian cars or anything. its completely emppty. i would ike to create a script to have vehicles spawn/ flee the populated areas and also have a reactionary [hostile] police force respond to situations in a timely manner. maybe have section patrols for the police also. please help i want to play this asap and it will be made so you can take credit for the script just so i can use it. lol.

part 2.

okay whether or not thats alot already, i would also like to have some scripting where whenever a police force is sent to a situation, you get notified of what and where[coord] so u too can respond to the action. please help as soon as possible like i already stated you help me make you get all the credit for the finished products my reward will be using the scripts in my free time. this would be my biggest arma project to date so it would help me learn more about creating scripts. some1 please help me accomplish this thanks.

basically i want a cop squad to patrol around and find situations and just hover around the border and not get into the action too much, but close enough to get shot at. i would like the police to be hostile to both sides, so you have to destroy or avoid them.

A very interesting concept and project which I feel would help teach allot of how ArmA scripting works in general.

Besides those on the SCP project we have many here who do script ArmA maps/game/ad-dons and hope that you find support from them.
Doolittle,Doc2 and Dwarden (under another name) are perhaps -the leaders- in that respect (or know of scriptors) and I would encourage them to assist you.

I'd love to assist such a fine, outstanding human of a being. Have the BIS forums been unable to help you?

Doolittle.......

Again I vote you a 1 plus karma point.
Your expressed position to assist your fellow man/gamer is not without my knowledge/view or personal approval.

I further urge those with a karma vote to add to your ranking on the TKC forum as such.

By the way...I am a Human but will forever object to being ever being called a Human Being as it is a leagale term coined by a former King to denote the leagal status of his unwed offsring.
Human=everyone
Human Being = a Monster with out any Rights to iherintents (spelling?) or protection under the Law.
Knowing the source of the term  makes Human Being a suck ass thing to be called.

For part 1, that's hard to do.. create a life-like situation. First, how do you detect a fight? You have a trigger that sees if any civilians were killed? Then you have to createUnit some vehicles and put a created civilian in them, then you have to tell them to move to a point away from that spot. Also do the same with cops and have them move into the spot. But once they get to the fight zone you have to tell them to get out and attack the perpetrators. Hard to do.

If you want the police hostile from the get-go then just make them on the resistance side. Plus, make this a bookmark: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands_ArmA

lol human being.


could you not do something similar to placing markers so when anything is hit or detonated on the marker or in its radius it triggers a patrol to come check around the area? then when the patrol is triggered a hint would hint you of the markers location?  or maybe just like the click map gbu, click where you want a patrol to patrol around.

edit: ive been playng around with the "dynamic ambush system" and personally i think it belongs in the toilet. with all due respect.   it was almost half of what i was looking for, except the markers are permantly placed, therefore whenever you radio any support they dont go where you put them or even to you, they go to the markers, everytime. plus i somehow think they made the script way too complicated because i run it 2x and my game gets so laggy. i have a nice system.

Here's easiest way to do it: place resistance in the towns, then change them to civilians via text edit mission.sqm. Then place resistance somewhere else on the map and have them go to a GUARD waypoint and change those to civilian cops.

Now, whenever someone is spotted by the resistance civilians, the civilian cops will rush in & fight back.

so...in that nature i could make a police station or outpost in multiple locations of the map so when anything gets in range they notify a police patrol

how would i place one of them in a tower or guarded position so even if i kill off most of the spotters someone is still spotting?

also wouldnt the patrol only be notified 1 time? i need it so along side of the battle i want the police harrassing me

I think SCP has a script that does that already.

Its really worth reading up on scripting. I know it may seem like a drag but it really does pay off in the long run. Also remember that all you learn now will also be applicable to ArmA2

Start off with some small sqs files to get your confidence up, forget sqf's & functions for now thats advanced stuff which you wont need till you understand sqs script files properly.

To rebuff Easy_tiger: if you're just learning, I'd say avoid .SQS and always work with .SQF since .SQS is being phased out.

which one overrides the other; sqs or sqf? i have both in my mission for init[.sqs] and [.sqf] and depending on what each one has in it my mission has the different options. when both are in, which one applies?

I've never tried this but I think the init.SQS
ArmA loads addons in alphabetical order. Last one to load is the overrider!
I say think because I have no idea if mission/addon content is loaded in the same fashion.
