[Release] Andre Convoy Patrol

[Donnovan]

Richie, estimated time is until the end of the week. Probably sooner than that.

[HackSaW_TM]

Thnaks is working great. 

Ai many times dont get out of the vehicle...]

Is there any chace that some of the vehicles  can be use by players until restart? or even if can they be claimed?

[Donnovan]

HackSaW_TM,

What is you doing to try to stop the vehicles?

Have you did any change in the script?

[Donnovan]

I removed the code that show all the way points found. I will re-add it today at night so you can see what was found in Bornholm.

[1Man]

While your at it can you have the vehicle markers named something else besides 1-?. I would prefer to have a specific name and not to have their starting spawn marked on the map just their movements if your ok with that

[cdfc79]

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do i install this onto my server?

[Donnovan]

ZENITHOVMAN,

To solve the Bornholm problem, please add the code bellow before the line //Bot Weapons. This will make all the found waypoints visible on the map.

{
	_marker = createMarker ["donn_waypoints_car_" + (str _forEachIndex),_x];
	_marker setMarkerShape "Icon";
	_marker setMarkerType "mil_dot";
	_marker setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
} forEach donn_wps; 

[Totto005]

Actually Andre_convoy is not working on Bornholm.

I think it nay be the class name for the roads but I will test this out a  bit later.

Stench

Can you add taviana?

[Donnovan]

The point that must be near a main road is this point:

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

The number of spawn points can be how many you want then to be. don't need to stuck in 3 spawns.

//Vehicle Spawns [[vehicle spawn position],[nothing],spawn angle,spawn radius][/color]
_spawns = [
	[[2000,10907,0.2],[],100,20],
	[[3786,6571,0.2],[],35,15],
        [[6000,16907,0.2],[],120,15],
        [[12786,4471,0.2],[],30,15],
	[[7195,9700,0.2],[],0,20]
];

This is just a example.

@ richie

 

maybe this help:

_vCrew = [_vehicle, _grp] call BIS_fnc_spawnCrew;

_crew = crew _vehicle;

_driver = driver _vehicle;
_driver;

 

i use this in a heli, and the heligunner is there and shot at me :D  maybe it help :D

[RGGKieran]

Thanks got it working good enough :)

Quick question

 

How would i go about changing the Blue dots on the map to change the name instead of 1,3,4 etc to Convoy

 

And do you know how long it takes after the convoy is dead for the cars to despawn? ;)

[Totto005]

Are message then start Convoy ?

[Totto005]

Cant See Mission Start in rpt.what message come then Startet?

Sorry Bad english

[Richie]

Donovan have you changed the script lately ? It used to work but i just grabbed it from the original post and now i get :

 

13:28:24   Error Undefined variable in expression: _posnext
13:28:24 File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Chernarus\scripts\andre_convoy.sqf, line 473
13:28:24 Error in expression <tRandom;
_distToNext = _posNow distance _posNext;
_distToBefore = _posNext dista>
13:28:24   Error position: <_posNext;
_distToBefore = _posNext dista>

 

Anyone else seeing errors from line 473 ?

 

P.S - Any luck with armed vehicles yet ?

No errors with line 473, yet

Though I have errors with line 411 (or there about). Mission is running. No edits made yet.

 

File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Chernarus\scripts\andre_convoy.sqf, line 411
Error in expression <} forEach units _rosa_group;

  Error Zero divisor

[Donnovan]

Richie,

 

Sounds your waypoint array donn_wps is empty.

 

Those are the reasons, i believe:

 

1 - You have not set a point near a main road (less than 200 meters) in _aPointNearRoad.

2 - You have set the point but it is not near a road.

[Donnovan]

Floyd,
 
 This happens when you kill all convoy bots and they are still searching for you. Try to change this segment of code:
 
From:

if (!_targetOff) then {
	_followedsNew = [];
	{if (alive _x) then {_followedsNew = _followedsNew + [_x];};} forEach _followeds;
	_followeds = _followedsNew;
	if (count _followeds > 0) then {
		_numbKA = 0;
		_numbKA_total = (count units _rosa_group) * (count _followeds);
		{
			_unit = _x;
			{
				if (_unit knowsAbout _x > 3 && _unit distance _x < 300) then {_numbKA = _numbKA + 1;};
			} forEach _followeds;
		} forEach units _rosa_group;
		if (_numbKA/_numbKA_total > 0.35) then {_KA_players = true;};
	};
};

To:

if (!_targetOff) then {
	_followedsNew = [];
	_AiUnits = units _rosa_group;
	{if (alive _x) then {_followedsNew = _followedsNew + [_x];};} forEach _followeds;
	_followeds = _followedsNew;
	if (count _followeds > 0) then {
		_numbKA = 0;
		_numbKA_total = (count _AiUnits) * (count _followeds);
		{
			_unit = _x;
			{
				if (_unit knowsAbout _x > 3 && _unit distance _x < 300) then {_numbKA = _numbKA + 1;};
			} forEach _followeds;
		} forEach _AiUnits;
		if (_numbKA/_numbKA_total > 0.35) then {_KA_players = true;};
	};
};

[drsubo]

so anyone got this working on Bornholm? What ever I do I cant get the AI to spawn. I set my own points and it wont work. If I put the sqf in as it is on this page with the spawn points for altis, the ai will spawn but the points are in the ocean. Why is it that my spawn points wont work? Thanks

[Richie]

Thank you Donovan all sorted now :)

It was #1, I had 3 spawn points but 2 were miles away from _aPointNearRoad, I had hoped to have them spawning in different locations.

[Donnovan]

Nice Richie!

 

The spawn can be in different locations, anywere you want. Also, there is no limitation in the distance between the spawn points and the road.

 

The point _aPointNearRoad is not a spawn point. This point is were the script will begin to map roads. This point need to be near a road.

[Richie]

Ah got you cheers :)

[drsubo]

So I have triple checked that _aPointNearRoad is set on road and every point I set is legit but it still wont work on Bornholm. Is there certain type of road I have to have my _aPointNearRoad set by since Bornholm uses diff. roads? Im not sure what else would be causing this not to work?

[ZENITHOVMAN]

@drsubo,

I also cannot get this script to work on Bornholm. I have tried lots of differing scenario.

[Donnovan]

IMPORTANT

 

To make the vehicles run over player, change all setCombatMode "BLUE" to setCombatMode "RED".

 

The BLUE state was did to avoid AI from leaving the vehicle in inapropriate times, but its not necessary, and have the side effect to make the vehicle not run over players!

 

Thankyou RAZORMAN!

 

ON THE OTHER SIDE... we can make the vehicle run over player only if he had shot in the vehicle direction. What is better?
