[Totto005]

you can edit for Taviana and Panthera ?

[Razorman]

Interesting script, works fine, couple questions.

Why dont convoy vehicles stop when they see a player? They just keep driving past atm.

How do you remove those annoying map icons showing spawn locations & actual convoys driving around?

Thanks

Hey, thanks this is from my test Server.

 

I edit the Mrap to Gunner Offroader they dont shoot on Players, look only arround and drive away ?!

[Donnovan]

Razorman, i see you have not tried that much to stop then, right? What you did? Can you think in something?

To then stop you need to offers some risk.

[Razorman]

Ai default combat status is Blue (Neutral), Change it to Red (Combat), change the type of vehicle to an open pickup truck & Ai in the back will shoot at u as they go past, actually leaving the icons on display/map & Ai in vehicles is better after playing for a while,

You can increase number of vehicles in each Ai convoy or whatever you please.

 

nice script.

[snep]

Hey,

 

very nice script thx for share !

 

 

EDIT :: Battleye Kicked me not more... i dont know why, i try to found my mistace....

 

 

 

// But if i shot on the Convoy i get kicket by Battleye

// Player USERNAME kicked off by BattlEye: SetVariable Restriction #0

 

// I dont know what i must modify in BE Filters,

// can you help?

[Donnovan]

Razorman, you don't need to change the script to make the bots exit the vehicle.

Just shot in the vehicle(s) direction, from a distance less than 100 meters. This will make the convoy stop 80 meters away from you (or any other player that have shot), then the bots will leave the vehicle and prey you.

To make then give up, go 300 meters away from then or hide until their knowledge about you lower enough.

If you go 300 meters away, they will still search for you for some time.

[Donnovan]

ZENITHOVMAN,

It's all working ok?

[snep]

so now after TESTING again and again...

 

Player USERNAME kicked off by BattlEye: SetVariable Restriction #0

[HackSaW_TM]

[snep]

    //Vehicle Spawns [[vehicle spawn position],[nothing],spawn angle,spawn radius]

    //A point on the map near a main road
    _aPointNearRoad = [10648,15920,0];

[Donnovan]

Those are for Chernarus.

From the point _aPointNearRoad the script will discovery all map waypoints like water fluing by tubes (streets, in the case). Please report results. :)

[Richie]

Awesome release Donnovan :D just 1 question, how do i get an Ai to get in the gunners position ? I've switched the vehicle but when i add an extra soldier he doesn't get in the vehicle, even though the gunners seat is free.

[Donnovan]

Richie,

Turret vehicles are on hold, it's not safe to use then now. I will add that in the future, and if desirable, in the near future.

You will find some code related to turret vehicles, but its incomplete now.

[Richie]

Yeah i see the code but can't get them to get in :( 3rd Ai just stands on the spawn point, the other 2 drive off and leave him

[HackSaW_TM]

i am getting this error after ive installed it ..

 

EH_FIRED: 5 (KICKED TO LOBBY) might be EpochCode interfering (v0145)"

[Donnovan]

For the BE filters problem, you will need to run the script in a test server and adress the BE kicks.

Since Epoch runs a very tight BE filter and it can change at each update, its a good thing to know how tweak it.

Can't help on this one for now, sorry.

PS: When you is testing the script alone, teleporting though the map, bots can see your position wrong (like 1000 meters away when you is near then).

In this situation they will not shot you and the vehicle can stop near you because they believe you is far away.

This problem also happens in Arma 2, when you is alone at the server and teleport.

I believe the problem is related to you be alone in the server + teleport.

[Donnovan]

HackSaW_TM,

Using it in Chernarus?

[HackSaW_TM]

Yes it is on Chernarus :( players are kicked out to the lobby 

[HackSaW_TM]

HackSaW_TM,

Using it in Chernarus?

And another question. If i want to change the vehicles they are using in the convoy for Humvees M2 from @mas vehicles. where to change them?

Thanks in advance 

[Donnovan]

ZENITHOVMAN and HackSaw_TM,

The change on line ~570 should be, i believe:

Form...

_nearCascaUnits = player nearEntities ["I_Soldier_EPOCH", 100];
_nearCascaCars = player nearEntities ["B_MRAP_01_EPOCH", 100];

To...

_nearCascaUnits = player nearEntities ["I_Soldier_EPOCH", 100];
_nearCascaCars = player nearEntities [["B_MRAP_01_EPOCH","B_Truck_01_transport_F"], 100];

I will make this automatic and remove this redundance.

Will log all changes so you can make it on your version easily.

[Richie]

Any idea how long it will take for armed offroads to be used, really like this script though :)
