Top Gun Scripts

[onionres]

I'm creating a Top Gun style mission and i need a bit of help with some scripting:

1. How do i detect when my craft is going vertically up?

2. How can i detect if i'm being locked on in a dogfight?

3. How do you activate triggers after a certain objective is completed.

4. I also want to detect a craft in my vicinity

5. How can i limit a plane to a certain speed?

Any help will be much appreciated!

1 : Find the bank/pitch script in the editors depot..
2. No idea
3. In the trigger that tells the game you've completed the objective, put in the activation, goalcomplete true
And then in another trigger, the condition this time, put goalcomplete = true

Then it waits till that 1st trigger is activated, and the second is activated

4. Nearestobject command?

5.

Code: [Select]

_plane = this select 0

#loop
_velox = _plane velocity select 0
_veloy = _plane velocity select 1
_veloz = _plane velocity select 2

?(_velox > 200):GOTO "slowdown"
?(_veloy > 200):GOTO "slowdown"
?(_veloz > 200):GOTO "slowdown"

~0.1

GOTO "loop"
#slowdown
HINT "Slow down now"
;not sure of code for here
~5
GOTO "loop"
Save that as slowdown.sqs

Change the 200 to different values for different planes.. Call the script with this in the planes INIT field :
[this] exec "slowdown.sqs"

Hope some of this is some use t'ya

Well you could make a script that checks distance to see if a plane is within a certain radius. Then to checks that planes position relative to "you". See if it is lined up verticaly and horizontailly and also it direction. If the planes is with in a certain distance and and with in a firing arc(which is defined by the script) a message and/or sound is made.

Also some aircraft have "incoming missile" alarms. You could contact the creators to see how they added that to the addons.

Yeah, the DKM mod's Commanche has a "Missile Lock, Break Break" alarm thing (I managed to lock a missile onto my self, in third person)
So it must be one of the scripts in there

Have a look on OFP.info

The file isn't too huge either

Oh, the Addons Depot, the F18 has missile lock warning too.. I'm sure

2. use the incomingmissile eventhandler described in the tutorial on event handlers

5. Use

Plane = your plane to limit speed
MaxVelocity = the max speed the plane will be allowed to travel in a single direction (note diagonals will produce higher velocitys)

#loop
~0.5
?  (Velocity Plane select 0 > MaxVelocity) : SetVelocity [MaxVelocity, Velocity Plane select 1,Velocity Plane select 2]
?  (Velocity Plane select 1 > MaxVelocity) : SetVelocity [Velocity Plane select 0, MaxVelocity,Velocity Plane select 2]
?  (Velocity Plane select 2> MaxVelocity) : SetVelocity [Velocity Plane select 0, Velocity Plane select 1,MaxVelocity]
goto "loop"

3. In the trigger that tells the game you've completed the objective, put in the activation, goalcomplete true
And then in another trigger, the condition this time, put goalcomplete = true

Then it waits till that 1st trigger is activated, and the second is activated

For the condition, wouldn't it be goalcomplete == true ?
