CO7 Jungle Ops (Cam Lao Nam)

valax

Hi everyone,

This is the first 'proper' mission I've made in a long, long time after not playing Arma 3 for an equally long duration. This is just the first pass and I plan on adding more mission variety and features in the future, so I'd be keen to hear people's ideas on that. If anyone knows how to enable the extra voice lines (that you can hear in the official missions) then I'd love to hear how as well! Info below.

Mission:
Locate a hidden VC base in the jungle of Vietnam and destroy any munitions dumps you find. Playable with up to 7 players or AI (or both) on either a hosted listen server or a dedicated server. It utilises the in-game tasks and briefing systems so the tasking should be clear to even a complete beginner.

Features:

Playable with AI, players, or a mix of both.
Randomised (but handpicked) locations to enhance replayability.
Advanced AI patrol script. AI will communicate and employ advanced tactics to fight the player's group.
Various parameters, controlling enemy presence, respawn, etc.
Toggleable CDLC advanced revive system in the parameters to ensure compatibility with ACE Medical if in use (enabled by default, so if using ACE please disable).
Combat support available for players with radio backpacks via the CDLC support menu (action menu).

Known issues:

AI team mates must board the transport helis before players, as the helis will fly away as soon as all players are on board.

Any feedback or comments please let me know so I can keep improving. I haven't had the opportunity to test much with multiple players so there could very well be issues!

As a solo player, I really liked this mission. The way the AI patrols and reacts to my actions feels more fair than the infinitely spawning tracker AI in the official campaign. I only ran into 2 minor issues. The first was when I located the ammo box and called in a bombing run on it from afar. This destroyed the ammo box, but I still had to fight my way up to its exact position before the "destroy ammo box" task was completed. The second issue was that the extraction chopper wouldn't RTB after picking me up. It just wanted to stick around and do gun runs on the VC around the extraction zone.

Thanks for trying out the mission and for leaving feedback. Having to find the ammo box first is intended design, but yeah in hindsight it is quite annoying I imagine. I'll remove that.

With regards to the extraction heli, it should be set as captive, meaning that shouldn't happen. I'll disable everything but the movement AI on it though just to make sure that doesn't happen again though.

Thanks again for commenting.

I looked through your mission a bit in the editor and noticed you figured out how to create a tracker module on the fly with script? Can you break down how you did it?
