could we add a simple hostage module into the editor?
for example place a module sync it to the player.
enter the diameter of the captive area (if you go out of area your dead)
and so friendly forces can come and rescue you?
I have figured scripting takes too long :(
n/a
Basically this is solved by a simple trigger + small script.
Hostage (soldier), name "hostage", init string: this setCaptive true;
Game logic, name "hostage_pos"
Trigger with condition: (hostage_pos distance hostage > 5), on activation: hostage setCaptive false
Voila - everything works, AI will shoot the hostage if he moves away. No need for module.
the thing is I really find it hard to understand all these scripts :/
its like Chinese language to me and most likely other people too.
its just an idea so everyone gets the full potential out of the game.
at the moment new players will find it really hard building decent missions when experienced scripters can do this easily. if that makes any sense?
or is there anything than can help by BIS implementing a script help feature?
like preset examples?
