[REQUEST] M2 Machine Gunner in missions

[MatthewK]

Has anyone managed to get an m2 machine gunner in their missions? 

Can you share your code please. 

 

thanks

You would have to spawn the M2 in as a vehicle in the mission code, make it unenterable for players (similar to the C130 in EM1) and then get a unit nearby and shove them into it using moveInDriver.

Vampire please put M2's in by default. There is alot of requests for it.

My scripting is bad, so I don't create new function just add this code to the mission file:

 

_staticGun = createVehicle ["M2StaticMG",[(_coords select 0) - 8.8681, (_coords select 1) + 15.3554,0],[], 0, "NONE"];

_staticGun setDir round(random 360);

[_staticGun] call DZMSProtectObj;

 

_staticGun setHit ["motor", 1];

_staticGun setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled",true,true];

_staticGun setVariable ["BTC_Cannot_Lift",true,true];

_staticGun removeAllEventHandlers "Killed";

_staticGun removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage";

_staticGun setVehicleLock "LOCKED";

_staticGun removeAllEventHandlers "GetIn";

_staticGun addEventHandler ["GetIn",{

if (isPlayer (_this select 2)) then {

(_this select 2) action ["getOut",(_this select 0)]; 

(_this select 0) setVehicleLock "LOCKED";

(_this select 0) removeAllEventHandlers "GetIn";

};

}];

 

_aiGrp = createGroup east;

 

 

_pilot = _aiGrp createUnit ["BanditW1_DZ",getPos _staticGun,[],0,"FORM"];

 

 

[_pilot] joinSilent _aiGrp;

 

_pilot moveInGunner _staticGun;

_pilot assignAsGunner _staticGun;

 

_pilot enableAI "TARGET";

_pilot enableAI "AUTOTARGET";

_pilot enableAI "MOVE";

_pilot enableAI "ANIM";

_pilot enableAI "FSM";

_pilot setCombatMode "YELLOW";

_pilot setBehaviour "COMBAT";

 

_pilot addWeapon 'NVGoggles';

_pilot addWeapon 'ItemCompass';

_pilot addWeapon 'ItemRadio';

_pilot addWeapon 'ItemMap';

_pilot addWeapon 'ItemGPS';

 

 

Just starting writing scripts to the Arma 2, so this code can be bad but it works ;)

Have you tried adding  M2s to the Partol vech section in the config.. Assuming you have the vehicle patrols installed already. 

 

I'll test it out and see how it goes.
