Existing MP-compatible script for recovering object missions

[on_certainty]

I am working on an adversarial mission with a recover-object type objective (e.g., BLUFOR and OPFOR compete to recover classified documents from the AO). I have a working script for SP, and I was going to start tweaking it for MP.

Just wondering if there is already a working MP-compatible script out there for this so I don't reinvent the wheel? I have not been able to find anything.

Maybe this will help:

Put this in a .sqf and ExecVM it via the addAction, attached to the item:

Code: Select all

[
	_this call
	{
		(_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);

		if (isServer) then {
			deleteVehicle (_this select 0);
			(_this select 1) addItem "B_UavTerminal"; //Item that will be added to the inventory

                       ws_dataCollected = true; publicVariable "ws_dataCollected";
		};
                
                //Notification to display - change the true to any side to display only for the specific side
		[["DataCollected",[format ["%1",name (_this select 1)]]],"bis_fnc_showNotification",true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

	}
,"BIS_fnc_spawn",true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

The "DataCollected" notification

Code: Select all

	class DataCollected {
		title= "DATA COLLECTED!";
		description= "%1 has collected the item!";
		iconPicture = "\A3\ui_f\data\map\markers\military\warning_ca.paa";
		duration = 3;
		priority = 5;
	};

Also, ARMA 3 comes with the so-called "INTEL" items which I think are interactive by default.

Edit: Just checked, it doesn't add a physical item, only a diary entry and needs some fiddling to get to work right without having to be placed by ZEUS.

This would allow Tigershark's mission, Mail Man to be completed, right?

We always had the capabilities comrade, just not the spirit.

Also I think there wasn't a clear consensus how it should be done. Whether it should be random, a zeus mission etc.

Finally got around to refactor the script I was talking about.
