That was the original plan, I never worked out how to do that, cause getting the mission done as is was hard enough already. I'll check.

Can't whomever is in charge of the squads just enforce this w/o resorting to codery?

Alternatively, can you have a trigger that ends the game if a regular troop gets in the helo?

As you know, despite what SOP's or Team Leaders people do what they want and you're forced to use code to resolve certain issues. I like the idea second idea, but in practical use it would probably cause more issues than solve, since there will always either be noobs who get over eager or smacktards that don't believe you when you say it will cause end game.

BAS-f has some scripts that lock vehicles to certain player classes.

Thanks, didn't know. Since I used BAS-f it might be easier than I thought.

its the "Check Crew Type" Script

Thanks according to the BAS-f 1-0-3 manual page 36-38 this only refers to the crew not to passengers, if so it won't work (or am I overlooking something here).

**stickyjeans69** · 08-20-2007, 05:37 PM

oh, i thought you where doing this for the Pilots to make sure they have their choppers. neeevermind

**JAMerica** · 08-20-2007, 05:56 PM

Oh yeah, sorry taxi...I thought it was just the crew too.

I guess maybe make sure only "qualified" people take the pilot's slot.

**Taxi** · 08-20-2007, 11:12 PM

No problem guys any help is always welcome even if it doesn't work out all the time.

I think it was insanatrix who informed me that when playing opfor they waited like 15 minutes for a vehicle. What probably happened was that no vehicle got destroyed, just damaged or abandoned and then they do not respawn. Not much I can do about that I think, just the way the script works. I could add some more vehicles to start with or alternatively, people could arrange for someone at the front to pick them up. Any thoughts on that?

**boudreux** · 08-23-2007, 12:48 AM

maybe twice as many vehicles, especially if we ever get 40-50 people on it. Really shouldn't need more than that, with a respawnable chopper/dedicated pilot. People should have to value their assets.

I'll add a few, not to keen on making the choppers respawnable again, like you said value your assets and I want people to travel by land.

**Shiner** · 08-24-2007, 11:04 AM

We could work on tweaking the script to vehicle respawn script to check for damaged or abandoned vehicles.

Sounds good, as long as the original vehicles stay on the field, cause "abandoned" vehicles can just be parked out of harms way, to be used again later.
