Ive gotten rusty, help!

[Sane Lemming]

A lot of you will not know me - the rest of you will also not know me

I used to do a lot of OFP editing back in my day (listen to me, I sound like an 80yr old, where as im only 18). The problem is, I have left it off for about a year, and as a result have gotten completely rusty - on everything!

So, I need someone to rake up a few tutorials on these subjects:

1) Having a chopper load up its passengers, take off, move to a waypoint, land, disgorge its passengers, take off, then either patrol the area or move off somewhere.

2) Having a trigger that loses the mission if a certain soldier/vehicle is killed.

3) Having a trigger that sets off a cut-scene when a certain vehicle/soldier passes through it.

I have more topics I need help on, but those 3 are that I can think of.

1.) Plenty of tutes available on this. Check the ed depot

2.) In the triggers condition field write "not alive unitname"

3.) In the triggers On Activ. field write [] exec "scriptname.sqs"

surely u remember about scripts right? but you probaly don't remember all the commands for scripting. so check the ed depot on cam scripting tutroials to remind yourself on how to create a cutscene and other stuff

well, bob, #2 is just a condition:

!(alive bob)

...which means:  " is Bob alive? - if not, then..."  (whatever U put in the Activation field)

simply NAME the unit in his name field when ya create him!  

As for choppers - plz pay the Ed. Depot a visit   loads of good tutes there.

The cutscene is best made using scrolls (sqs files in the mission folder).
If Bob needs to fire the scene, just put:


Bob in Thislist

as condition.   You can also just hit the F2 button and drag a grouping line from trig to Bob.
Then he's the only one who can fire the trigger  

Sö, Bob can execute the script:

[bob] exec "camScene.sqs"
