Creating an online map

[hitman]

Need help with allowing refueling/rearming at an airport. Said airport will have both red and blue flying out of it. Also need some help with allowing respawn of destroyed targets at a range located nearby. Any help appreciated! Never made a map before, so Im fairly new at this. I cant find any relevant info in my docs folder.

One after the other or both flying in and out at random simultaneously?

Both are going to be client aircraft

Airbases only serve one side at a time. They can be captured and change sides, but having a blue plane and red plane on the base at the same time is something that I don't think works (but I've never bothered).

 

You can use some of the closely clustered airports (around Krasnodar and Tbilisi) to have aircraft start from nearly the same position without actually sharing the base.

 

As for setting up a base for resupply, just set it to red or blue side. By default it will carry infinite weapons, aircraft, and fuel. You can limit this by clicking on the airport and changing the settings in the warehouse.

Thing is... as soon as opposite side coalition are within 2 miles or so the base goes neutral and you will get no services.

How about a neutral airfield? Ive parked both red and blue tanker trucks on the tarmac...

 

edit-sniped...

 

So I guess I will have to send red and blue to another airfield. Do I need anything to provide rearming and refueling?

Also, what about respawning of destroyed targets?

Neither would work because of the presence of the other.

Ok, so I fixed that issue.

 

A few more questions - how would I go about making tankers invincible? How do I get destroyed targets to respawn?

[ENO]

Invincible is just a matter of adding the waypoint advanced function in perform command if memory serves.

 

If you just want to hide it from AI then I would just make it invisible. Still visible to players- hidden from AI.

 

Also highly highly highly recommend st3v3s tanker respawn script available in the scripts library stickied in this forum. If your tanker gets whacked or runs out of fuel another respawns with the same waypoints / speeds etc.

 

Respawning can be done through mist- or manually done on a group dead condition- and manually entered late activated clones. Which route do you prefer?
