Help Me please!!!

Is there a way using the onmapsingleclick to create a marker or an object where I click?

I want to be able to call for reinforcements (not in my group) using the Bas_blackhawks and the repel script.

My problem is when I call them and click on the map using the script below it goes right to repelling and the Heli never gets off the ground.

I am looking for the heli to complete its flight before using the repel script.

As always Thanks  ;D

You cannot create markers via scripts, but you can reposition an existing marker. Or, there are ways to detect when a user creates a marker on the map by double-clicking, which pre-date resistance.

As for the fastroping, I'm guessing that the script makes the guys jump out of the helo AS SOON as you execute the script. In that case, you would need to wait until the helo completes it's waypoint, and then do the rapel. I'm busy ATM, so I can't help you, but if you check the ed depot, there is a collection of helo scripts by Kammak that might work for what you are doing.

You have helped me. I never thought of repositioning a marker instead of trying to create one from scratch.  I can have the heli move to the marker and using the distance command execute the repel script. I cant try it at the momment but it may just work  ;D


Thanks  ;D

I'm glad you got help.  Use the setmarkerpos command.  Now you can help me.  I never heard of the onmapclick function that you mention.  

I've got the command reference, but must have missed a whole level of scripting info.  Where did you discover that and similar functions???

BTW:  "markerName" setmarkerpos [_newx,_newy,_newz]      or

"markerName" setmarkerpos [getpos player select 0 + 5, getpos player select 1 + 5,0]

Best to get player pos and break it up into xyz variables first though.

onMapSingleClick is just a command, though it is one of the more advanced commands and is not recommended for beginners.    

It's in the comref.   I recommend the online version because there are helpful Comments and links.    Search the forum too.

I also recommend that you read through the comref like a book.   Don't stop to understand every command, but just get a feel for "the art of the possible".

"The art of the possible"  you are poetic !

I will revisit the comref with new enthusiasm.  Thank you.

BTW:  Hint.   If you place mines that blow up your own vehicles,  your own men will shoot you down !!
