new [patch] Points for pilots

[Vaulter]

Hi there! Hope you're well!

 

Just want to share small script that i made for ahoy world invade&annex to give some points to pilots for transporting fellows from base to mission spots

 

1. in aw_unitSetup.sqf we need to invoke this script for any Air unit:

if ( _unit isKindOf "Air" ) then { 
	_unit execVM "scripts\a3rc_PilotsPoints.sqf";
};

2. script itself:

/** points for pilots */
if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

//, "_countPoints", "_getClosestObjective"  ];
PFP_count_players = 0.0;
PFP_getins = []; // array of players getins
//centerposition for distance coef
PFP_max_distance = [0,0,0] distance getArray(configFile/"CfgWorlds"/worldName/"centerPosition");

// [_from, _srcObj, _to, _dstObj ]

PFP_getPenalty = {
	private ["_from","_to","_srcObj","_dsstObj"];
	_from = _this select 0;
	_to = _this select 1;
	_srcObj = _this select 2;
	_dstObj = _this select 3;

	//format ["PFP_getPenalty: dist1 %1, dist %2, penalty: %3", (_from distance _to), 
	// (_srcObj distance _dstObj), (_from distance _to) / (_srcObj distance _dstObj) ] call BIS_fnc_log;

	(_from distance _to) / (_srcObj distance _dstObj)
};

// argument - from 
PFP_getClosestObjective = {
	private ["_from", "_min_dist", "_objs", "_d"];
	_from = _this;
	_min_dist = PFP_max_distance;
	_objs = [ markerPos "respawn_west" ];
	// AHOY
	if (!isNil("currentAOUp")) then { if (currentAOUp) then {_objs set[ count _objs, getMarkerPos currentAO ];}; };
	if (!isNil("priorityTargetUp")) then { if (priorityTargetUp) then { _objs set[ count _objs, markerPos "priorityMarker" ]; }; };
	if (!isNil("sideMissionUp")) then { if (sideMissionUp) then { _objs set[ count _objs, getPos sideObj ]; }; };
	
	{ 
		_d = _this distance _x;
		if ( _d < _min_dist ) then { _min_dist = _d; _from = _x };
	} forEach _objs;
	//format ["from %1 closest is: %2", _this, _from ] call BIS_fnc_log;
	_from
};

PFP_countPoints = {
	private ["_points", "_landedAtPos", "_filtered_getins"];
	_landedAtPos = (position player) call PFP_getClosestObjective;
	_points = 0.0;
	_countGroup = 0;
	_filtered_getins = [];
	_remove = [];
	{
		_getInOutPos = (_x select 1) call PFP_getClosestObjective;

		if ( count _x > 2 && (_landedAtPos distance _getInOutPos) > 0 ) then { //  && 

				if ( (_x select 2) > 0 ) then {
					_points = _points + (_x select 2);
				};
				_countGroup = _countGroup + 1;
			//_remove set [ count _remove, _x ];

		} else {
			_filtered_getins set [count _filtered_getins, _x];
		};
		//format ["PFP_countPoints: x= %1, points =%2", _x, _points] call BIS_fnc_log;

Hope this will be included to AW I&A.

All I see is a smattering of code, so I cant really say whether or not it works, but if it does function as intended, I support this idea. Puts it right up there alongside points for reviving/healing.

 

[razgriz33]

Sounds like a good idea, we can trial it and if it works it can stay!

 

Thank you for your contribution

[Jester]

VERY interesting. I am going to check this out and if it functions well, this could very well be implemented. Thank you very much for the contribution.

[Jester]

well we tested this out just a couple minutes ago with about 7 people and it didn't seem to work. could you explain basically what you have going on or how exactly the pilot recieves the points? If i am reading it correctly, they get the points once they return to the point that they pick them up, after of course they drop people off at one of the objectives.

 

Also initially we got an error on line 22

(_from distance _to) / (_srcObj distance _dstObj)

to to be exact. raz said it was something along the lines of "error zero divisible" or the such.

 

If you want to take another look and see if you maybe missed something or are misplacing a ; we would all love to have this implemented.

[Paraclete]

Wait, we are implementing points for the CHAIR FORCE?

If those "two beer queer" flyboys want points they need to hump a rifle and ruck like the rest of us.

What's next "its not gay if its underway", Navy Campaign Ribbon?

 

Suggested prerequisites for awarding points for pilots.

 

1. Be able to adjust Air Conditioning in Bachelor Officers Quarters.

2. Be able to order a Apple/Cranberry Martini @ the Club.

3. Be able to determine what's on HBO tonight.

4. Ability to secure funding from congress for assets with defense contractors political contributions.

5. Will to declare said assets "Strategic" never deploying to an active combat zone, while regularly crashing said assets into the Gulf of Mexico.

6. Ability to hurry to attend an 13:45 Tee Time on the Base Course.

7. Ability to retire to an outstanding position (ie. Vice President of Fiddle Fucking) with the defense contractor whose budget process you previously oversaw.

points counting algorithm:

1. save when someone gets in your heli where you're pilot
2. count possible points when soldiers gets out alive near another point rather than source point
3. when your heli is near different point of point in pt.2 - script gives you counted points.

so. you need transport squad and back alive.

 

Paraclete - for some pilots it's a real challege to drop troops in safe zone and return to base alive.

In the 1st Passed Array section passenger is spelt passegeer several times could that be why it doesn't work???

[Jester]

not as long as it is called the same way each time.
