Realistic Tracer Documentation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1 - Easy & Automatic Enabling of the Tracers:
Place the CENT_Tracer "Tracer Auto Add" Gamelogic on the Map. That's all!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2 - Init line of the unit for manual addition:
* Place the CENT_Tracer "Tracer Init" Gamelogic on the MAP.
* Init line for unit: d=[unitname, (tracer settings)] spawn CENT_tracer;
e.g: d=[player6, 5, 0, 1, 2] spawn CENT_tracer;
Note, if you do not place the Gamelogic on the map, please use the following syntax:
* [unitname, (tracer settings)] execVM "\cent_tracer\cent_tracer.sqf";
e.g: [player6, 5, 0, 1, 2] execVM "\cent_tracer\cent_tracer.sqf";
The Tracer backengine will automaticly initialize if it wasn't yet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 3 - Using a trigger:
* Place the CENT_Tracer "Tracer Init" Gamelogic on the MAP.
* Create a trigger with the parameters you desire
* Trigger onActivation Field: {d=[_x, (tracer settings)] spawn CENT_tracer;} forEach ThisList
e.g: {d=[_x, 5, 0, 1, 2] spawn CENT_tracer;} forEach ThisList
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 4 - Script Snippet for Automatic Enabling of the Tracers:
(Though it's easier to just place the "Tracer Auto Add" Gamelogic on the map :D)
CENT_AUTO=true; // Enable loop
CENT_REFRESH=30; // Sleep time
CENT_PATH="\cent_tracer\"; // Path to take the script from, change to "" if you have the script inside your mission folder
[] execVM (CENT_PATH+"cent_tracer-Init.sqf");
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tracer config:
[unitname, <tracer per # rnds>, <ricochet on/off>, <weapons all/MG only>, <size modifier>]
Default:
[this, 3, 0, 1, 1]
Tracer every 3rd round, no ricochets, all weapons, size 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Variables:
* CENT_UNIT_ARRAY2 - Array. Used for only placing the units in without their parameters, for easy index searching etc.
* CENT_UNIT_ARRAY3 - Array. Used for exclusion units, units inside this array will not get tracers, used by the Auto Trigger, gamelogics etc will automaticly be excluded.
* CENT_REFRESH - Number. Default: 30. Used for the Trigger loop, Put somewhere in your init.sqf before initializing the script: CENT_REFRESH=20; to make the loop sleep 20 seconds
* CENT_AUTO - Boolean. Default: false. Used for the Trigger loop. Put somewhere in your init.sqf before initializing the script: CENT_AUTO=true; to enable the loop
* CENT_PATH - String. Default: "\cent_tracer\". Put in your init.sqf before initializing the script to for instance use the scripts from within side a mission folder instead of the addon.
* Default Settings used, you can overwrite these values as you wish. These values are taken when using Auto Trigger, and if you do not specify any tracer settings when adding a unit manually
* CENT_SETT_TRACERSETTING = 3;
* CENT_SETT_RICO = 0;
* CENT_SETT_TRACER = 1;
* CENT_SETT_SIZEMOD = 1;
Demo Missions:
* Legacy - Displays how to manually add units to the script
* Modern - Displays how to manually add units to the script while making use of a gamelogic and as such being able to use spawn instead of execVM
* Auto - Displays how to automaticly add units to the script.
* ScriptsInside - Displays how to make it possible to run the scripts from inside Mission folder
* Demo - Couple of East vs West Fighting :-)
New Gamelogics:
* AUTO - Enables the Automatic addition of units to the trigger script
* INIT - Simply enables the Tracer Backengine
