Mission help Please

[SAS]

Hi All, I am working on an Escape and Evasion mission where you play some SAS sodiers behind enemy Lines, I have a few problems/questions if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

1) How do i make a Black Ops soldier also a Medic?, Am I also right in thinking it is LAWLauncher and LAWMagazine for a LAW rocket?

2) The mission ends when a Chinook is called via a radio and picks your squad up however when I call the Chinook the chopper just flies its path and doesn't pick up the team.  I have this as an Extraction script.

Code: [Select]

_x=getpos vehicle SAS1 select 0

_y=getpos vehicle SAS1 select 1

_z=getpos vehicle SAS1 select 2

chopper1 move [_x,_y,_z]
exit

and 3 Triggers

Trigger 1: Condition called and (SAS1 distance chopper1 < 200)
On Activation: chopper1 sidechat "Alpha Two Niner we have you in sight, coming in hot."; chopper1 flyinheight 15

Trigger 2: Radio Alpha
Condtiion This
On Activation: SAS1 sidechat "Alpha Two Niner We are Ground Call Sign and we need extraction Over"; chopper1 move (getpos SAS1); called = true;

Trigger 3:
Condition SAS1 in chopper1
onactivation: chopper1 flyinheight 20;

Thanks

1a)   You can't, unless you get scripting.  However there is an addon somewhere, no idea where.  

1b)  No, you're not.     Check the Ed Depot - Tutorials - References for a complete listing of weapon and ammo names.

2)  Choppers are a whole field of interest within OFP.   There are a couple of tutes in the Ed Depot and plenty of stuff on the forum - use the forum search function to find it.

You little extraction script doesn't appear to do anything except move the chopper to the postion of whatever vehicle SAS1 is in, and you can do that much more simply - as you have - with chopper1 doMove getpos SAS1.    What you don't have anywhere is an instruction for the chopper to land or an instruction for the SAS loons to get into it.  

Getting choppers to land and pick you up at a given place (where you can pre-place an invisible H) is hard enough, doing it whereever the loons happen to be is even harder.   Master the first before attempting the second.

If you haven't already, learn about GET IN and LOAD waypoints, and the command land.    Commands assignAsCargo, moveInCargo are worth knowing too, even if you don't actually end up using them here.


Oh, and

Welcome to the forum!

I'm very glad to help.

   The .zip file is original from the creator, "SelectThis" or at least thats how I downloaded it. It contains several different units which are very nice by the way!!

   It's not mentioned in the readme file with which version the addon is compatible with but I have v.1.46 and it works fine!!

Thanx to SelectThis!!


...And have fun with the addon!


    ...Damn!! I forgot! The file is to big to attach here!!! I can send it to you through email. If you don't wanna mention your email here, just write me and I'll send it to you right away.
