[Release] Casca Vehicles Convoy for any Map

[SchwEde]

All of it is possible ;)

Just some changes here and there and you should have a little mission

[CharlesDarwin]

[] spawn {
	waitUntil {!isNil "DZE_safeVehicle"};
	sleep 5;
	_cascaVehicles = ["Lada2","UAZ_CDF","HMMWV_M1035_DES_EP1","Offroad_DSHKM_Gue","UAZ_MG_CDF","WMMWV_M998A2_SOV_DES_EP1"];
	DZE_safeVehicle = DZE_safeVehicle + _cascaVehicles;
};

Added this as updated in post #1.  We are not being killed by the cars now!   :) However, we are promptly kicked out of the vehicle.  Four of us tried and none of us were able to sit in the cars, but like I said, we don't blow up for trying.

 

@ Charles,

 

I will love to help. You already helped me! But even if you had not helped.

 

You can edit anything you want.

 

About dificulty, you believe a vehicle with turret could help? This can be done really simple, since the code for it, and for bigger convoys (4, 5, 6 vehicles) is ready.

 

 

Our vision would be one single mission running at a time, perhaps a few times per server restart (this part I believe I know how to change).

 

As far as the convoy, we would envision an armed vehicle at the front and rear, with perhaps 2-3 SUV's in the middle, each with 4-6 AI.  Does this sound pretty close to what's already available, as you mentioned?

 

That being said, we really like and appreciate the script how it is, too.

[Tech_Support]

nice work

 

convoys run good but they are way too easy if you have a M240 lol

 

how do we add the turrents back in ?

 

added  "HMMWV_Armored","HMMWV_M1035_DES_EP1" yet no gunner in gunner position.

 

Any way to add a heli to convoy 100m above make it follow the leader ?

 

would also like to have 4,5,6 vehicles in each convoy

 

I run this as a event ["any","any","any","any",30,"convoy"] placed convoy.sqf in the module folder server side and 2nd script in custom folder mission side.

[Donnovan]

Fixed spawn icons just appearing on the map after all cascas vehicles spawn. Now the spawn icons appear at the begining!

[Tech_Support]

when i kill all the ai and get in the vehicle i am ejected st8 away why cant we drive the convoy vehicles after the ai are dead ?

 

how do i get ai to use the turrents on vehicles ?

To have the vehicles use their turrets  go to approx line 520 and find the   _cars = [   

Mine looks like so:

_cars = [

//[vehicle, cargo places, [gunner 1 ammo, gunner 2 ammo, ...], loot]

["BAF_Jackal2_L2A1_w",3,[3,3],_loot1 call BIS_fnc_selectRandom],

 

 

 

its the  gunner ammo sections you need to change.  Dont forget to add the vehicle to the _cascaVehicles   sections as well just to be safe.

 

Thats how i got them to be armed.  The Jackal has 2 gunners, passenger, and a  driver.  

 

Next is to figure out how to get in a vehicle and stay in it.  I only wan tthem to stay till restart so people can sell them or use them temporarily. 

 

Hope this helps!  :)

To make the vehicles enterable, remove this code from the script:

_motor addEventHandler ["GetIn",{
	_motor = _this select 0;
	_player = _this select 2;
	if (_player in playableUnits) then {
		_player action ['getOut', _motor];
	};
}];

[tylerjohnson]

When I kill the AI usually the passenger doesn't drop his weapon, but the driver does.

[tylerjohnson]

 

To make the vehicles enterable, remove this code from the script:

_motor addEventHandler ["GetIn",{
	_motor = _this select 0;
	_player = _this select 2;
	if (_player in playableUnits) then {
		_player action ['getOut', _motor];
	};
}];

 

could you do this?

_motor addEventHandler ["GetIn",{
			_motor = _this select 0;
			_player = _this select 2;
			if (_player in playableUnits) then {
				_nil = [nil,(_this select 2),"loc",rTITLETEXT,"Warning: This vehicle will disappear on server restart!","PLAIN DOWN",5];
			};
		}];

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Every one of the _*rand variables (whether defined by BIS_fnc_selectRandom or by your loadout_fnc_selectRandom) contains exactly one item.  _rndnumber* are defined once and hold a constant number, so the randomization in the script,

		call compile format [
			"_motor %1 ['%2',%3];",
			_car select 3 select 0,
			_car select 3 select 1,
			_car select 3 select 2 select (_qtd - 1)
		];

will be for naught because every entry in [_rndnumber2, _rndnumber2, _rndnumber2]  is equal.

 

I assume you could do something like

_medicalrand = ["ItemPainkiller", "ItemMorphine", "ItemBandage", "ItemBloodbag", "ItemAntibiotic","ItemEpinephrine"];

[...]

["addMagazineCargoGlobal", (_medicalrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2)]],

[...]

and repeat the last line a few times. Same for the other loot types. Note that the definition of _medicalrand now has no BIS_fnc_selectrandom, keeping the array intact for multiple choosing.

 

This way

• there would be more lines generating medical loot in _loot1, each one picking randomly from _medicalrand and
• each one generating a different set of numbers to be picked from.

When duplicating the lines in _loot you of course have to adjust the random number, that's lower (round(random 2)+2).

 

Ok, so I made some changes, but there's still just one item appearing in each vehicle. Here's the updated code I'm using:

 

_toolsrand = ["NVGoggles","ItemEtool","Binocular_Vector","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemKnife","ItemHatchet","ItemCompass","ItemMap","ItemToolbox","ItemMatchbox","ItemFlashlightRed","ItemGPS","ItemCrowbar"];
_medicalrand = ["ItemPainkiller", "ItemMorphine", "ItemBandage", "ItemBloodbag", "ItemAntibiotic","ItemEpinephrine"];
_foodrand = ["FoodCanBadguy", "FoodCanBoneboy", "FoodCanCorn", "FoodCanCurgon", "FoodCanDemon", "FoodCanFraggleos", "FoodCanGriff", "FoodCanHerpy", "FoodCanOrlok", "FoodCanPowell", "FoodCanTylers", "FoodCanSardines", "FoodCanBakedBeans", "FoodCanFrankBeans", "FoodCanPasta", "ItemWaterbottleUnfilled","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodmuttonCooked","FoodchickenCooked","FoodBaconCooked","FoodRabbitCooked","FoodCanUnlabeled","FoodPistachio","FoodNutmix","FoodMRE"];
_drinkrand = ["ItemSodaClays", "ItemSodaDrwaste", "ItemSodaLemonade", "ItemSodaLvg","ItemSodaMzly", "ItemSodaRabbit", "ItemSodaSmasht", "ItemSodaOrangeSherbet", "ItemSodaMdew", "ItemSodaRbull", "ItemSodaMtngreen", "ItemSodaCoke", "ItemSodaPepsi", "ItemWaterbottle"];
_backpackrand = ["DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1","DZ_Assault_Pack_EP1","DZ_Czech_Vest_Puch"];
_partsrand = ["PartEngine","PartVRotor","PartWheel","PartGlass","PartFueltank","PartGeneric"];
_buildingrand = ["ItemSandbag","ItemTankTrap","ItemTentOld","ItemWire","30m_plot_kit","ItemVault","ItemTentDomed","ItemTentDomed2","ItemLightBulb","ItemGenerator","ItemComboLock","ItemLockbox","ItemPole","ItemCorrugated","ItemMixOil","bulk_ItemSandbag","bulk_ItemTankTrap","bulk_ItemWire","PartPlywoodPack","CinderBlocks","MortarBucket","PartPlankPack"];
_moneyrand = ["ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar","ItemSilverBar10oz","ItemSilverBar10oz","ItemSilverBar10oz","ItemSilverBar10oz","ItemSilverBar10oz","ItemGoldBar","ItemGoldBar","ItemGoldBar","ItemGoldBar","ItemGoldBar10oz","ItemGoldBar10oz","ItemBriefcase10oz","ItemBriefcase50oz","ItemBriefcase100oz"];
_loot1 = [
	["addWeaponCargoGlobal",(_toolsrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 4) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_medicalrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 4)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_foodrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 8) + 2)]],
	["addBackpackCargoGlobal",(_backpackrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 1) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_partsrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 4) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_drinkrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_moneyrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 1) + 2)]]
];

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Now I decided that I don't want loot in the armed vehicles, only in the cargo vehicle, so I commented out the loot for the armed vehicles and I have this for the cargo vehicle:

_loot2 = [
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_buildingrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 6) + 2)]],
	["addMagazineCargoGlobal",(_moneyrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), [(round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 2) + 2), (round(random 1) + 2)]]
];

When I checked the cargo vehicle, only the "moneyrand" was in there. None of the building supplies. Suggestions?

[ekroemer]

I had another look into the script and came up with a different interpretation, sorry:

	_cars = [
		//[vehicle, cargo places, [gunner 1 ammo, gunner 2 ammo, ...], loot]
		["Lada2",1,[],_loot1 call BIS_fnc_selectRandom],
		["UAZ_CDF",2,[],_loot1 call BIS_fnc_selectRandom],
		["HMMWV_M1035_DES_EP1",3,[],_loot2 call BIS_fnc_selectRandom]
	];

is the culprit. Here only one entry from _loot1 or _loot2 is picked, regardless from how randomized _loot<n> is.

 

You could try to put something like (please check syntax)

// additional loot for last vehicle
if ( _x == _qtd ) then {
  _motor addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_moneyrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), (round(random 2) + 2)];
  _motor addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_drinkrand call BIS_fnc_selectRandom), (round(random 2) + 2)];
};

between the sections //Put Loot in the Car and //Put vehicle Ammo and expand it to include your other _*rand.

[Donnovan]

At the end of the week i will make a big update here. Including my version of multiple loot. thankyou for the help and ideas!

[Donnovan]

The new release will be on Arma 3! Just waiting for moderator to aprove it!

 

Hope you guys enjoy it!

 

Tons of changes and improvements!

[Donnovan]

Well, i will bypass the wait by posting the Arma 3 CASCA script here:

 

***see Arma 3 section***

[Longshot03XX]

If you have coin currency on your server I recommend adding these lines around line 600 or so

//Spawn Soldier

_driverCount = 1;
_turreterCount = count _ammos;
_cargorsCount = _car select 1;
_crewCount = _driverCount + _turreterCount + _cargorsCount;
_gunnerPos = 0;
_crew = [];
for "_y" from 1 to _crewCount do {
//Create Soldier
//_skin = ["Functionary1_EP1_DZ","TK_INS_Bonesetter_EP1","TK_INS_Bonesetter_EP1","TK_INS_Bonesetter_EP1","TK_INS_Bonesetter_EP1"];
_unit = _rosa_group createUnit ["Functionary1_EP1_DZ",[50,50,50],[],50,"PRIVATE"];
[_unit] joinSilent _rosa_group;
_unit setCombatMode "RED";
_unit setBehaviour "SAFE";
donn_units_motor = donn_units_motor + [_unit];
_unit addEventHandler ["Killed",{
_unit = _this select 0;
_cash = round(random 5) * 1000;
_unit setVariable["cashMoney",_cash,true];
_weapon = (weapons _unit) select 0;
removeAllWeapons _unit;
removeAllItems _unit;
if (random 100 > 50) then {
_unit addWeapon _weapon;
_unit selectWeapon _weapon;

[KillKillKill]

Is the client side script needed? Sorry, noob admin.  :wacko:

[OSMOX]

will there be a updated arma2 version?

[outlander]

I'm having issues with the actual AI not moving/driving. The convoys spawn every so often, I can see spawn point 1,2,3 on the map; But the vehicles just sit there not moving?
Any ideas what it could be?

*EDIT*
Seems to be the newest version of Infistar
 

/*  EXPERIMENTAL CU FIX   */ _CUF = true; /* true or false */ /* *experimental* - will transfer serverside units (including mission AI) to clientside */

 

Setting this to false fixes it.

[Donnovan]

[script removed due to be outdated]

[Donnovan]

:c)

Hey Buck0, will you test it?

[Buck0]

I will throw it up on my dev server tonight, at work currently and cannot

THANKS OUTLANDER.

 

I will look it further today when i arrive in home.

[Donnovan]

outlander,

 

Added a new line to the script. This line is commented with //here, outlander.

 

By the way, despite the errors, the script is working?

 

Those errors repeats again and again on the script?
