counts number of "radio" transmissions and/or number of seconds as trigger (*atm i could only do  it to work for the vanilla "TAB" key PushToTalk) and once _excess (10 sec and/or transmissions) is reached gives a sound warning and spawns a sniper and some "cover" for him at a high ground, at a distance of _radius (50m but could go up to 1000m) from player.

The logic flow was:

1 find ASL player, check if near AO
2 trigger excessive radio chatter, +/-give subtle warning to ASL
3 find high position to spawn the sniper
4 spawn sniper at high position and make him "smart" and join the action
5 after 5 min remove sniper if not dead and the _snipercover obj created

6 reset radio chatter counter and make  the script loop

 

1  i didn't try yet

2 its done but only for "vanilla PushToTalk"

3 its done / could be refined

4 done / still needs refinement to make the sniper smarter

5,6 i tried but did not manage to get it to work
