[Help/Discussion] Spectre's SkyWrite

I'm assuming that if I add a vehicle class to the addAction it will allow them to use it in any vehicles as well. Or just use LandVehicle or AllVehicle or w/e it is
 
Here's two others that I threw together, the one for the Ah6X makes a circle of smoke around the heli and the UH1H drops a line of smoke. Same as the skywrite these can be adjusted very easily.
To add them into SWS.sqf
Code: 
If (typeOf _x in ["UH1H_DZ"]) then {
_UH1Hss = _x addAction [("<t color=""#949292"">Smoke Line</t>"),"scripts\UH1Hss.sqf","",1,false,true,"","driver _target == player"];
};
If (typeOf _x in ["AH6X_DZ"]) then {
_AH6Xss = _x addAction [("<t color=""#949292"">Smoke Screen</t>"),"scripts\AH6Xss.sqf","",1,false,true,"","driver _target == player"];
};

So your sws.sqf will look like this.
Code: 
if (isServer) exitwith {};
waitUntil {sleep 2; count vehicles > 1};
sleep 10;
{
If (typeOf _x in ["AN2_DZ"]) then {
_SkyWrite = _x addAction [("<t color=""#2bc0a7"">Sky Write</t>"),"scripts\SkyWrite.sqf","write",1,false,true,"","driver _target == player"];
};
If (typeOf _x in ["UH1H_DZ"]) then {
_UH1Hss = _x addAction [("<t color=""#949292"">Smoke Line</t>"),"scripts\UH1Hss.sqf","",1,false,true,"","driver _target == player"];
};
If (typeOf _x in ["AH6X_DZ"]) then {
_AH6Xss = _x addAction [("<t color=""#949292"">Smoke Screen</t>"),"scripts\AH6Xss.sqf","",1,false,true,"","driver _target == player"];
};
}forEach (vehicles);





UH1Hss.sqf
Code: 
if (speed player < 60) then {
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
    "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle (position player);
    sleep .1;
};





AH6Xss.sqf
Code: 
private ["_AHsmoke0","_AHsmoke1","_AHsmoke2","_AHsmoke3","_AHsmoke4","_AHsmoke2","_AHsmoke6","_AHsmoke7","_AHsmoke8"];
if (speed player < 60) then  {
    _AHsmoke0 = createVehicle ["SmokeShellYellow", position player, [], 1, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    _AHsmoke1 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke1 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke1 select 0) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke1 select 1) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke1 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke2 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke2 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 0) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 1), (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke3 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke3 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke3 select 0) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke3 select 1) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke3 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke4 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke4 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke4 select 0) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke4 select 1) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke4 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke2 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke2 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 0) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 1), (getPosATL _AHsmoke2 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke6 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke6 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke6 select 0) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke6 select 1) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke6 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke7 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke7 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke7 select 0), (getPosATL _AHsmoke7 select 1) + 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke7 select 2) +1];
    _AHsmoke8 = "SmokeShellYellow" createVehicle (position player);
    _AHsmoke8 setPosATL [ (getPosATL _AHsmoke8 select 0), (getPosATL _AHsmoke8 select 1) - 2, (getPosATL _AHsmoke8 select 2) +1];
};
 
Oh also I'd like to make a timer for those so it's not possible to spam smoke but I can't wrap my head around it. Anyone willing to help?
 
Sorry if this sounds like an outlandish request, but is it possible to spit a message out? Like a mousewheel option for some input text?

Yeah that's easily possible if I understand you right. Are you asking for a mouse wheel option that gives text only or are you asking for that to be added to this?

A mouse wheel option as an addition would be the best scenario imho. Best of both worlds. For an added touch of realism; if possible is, make it so you have to SkyWrite to get an SkyText option.
 
Hmm are you saying make it write a message in smoke automatically? If that's the case then I didn't understand you right the first time and I'd have to say it's pretty improbable and not something I'd be willing to attempt. :/ Sorry.
 
Technically I think it would be possible to write a message with smoke without a plane, just using a series of sleeps and setpos but it wouldn't look right if you activate it from a plane. Also it would be quite hard I think :)

Hey man, no biggy...I had a feeling it was a lofty request.

Just curious, what did you think I mean? Maybe its something cool...
 
Not really :) I thought you meant make a message show up on screen, like with the hint command. I thought it was strange you'd ask how to do something so simple haha.
 
I haven't tried it after the update, I've got a lot goin on right now and don't have a lot of time so i don't run a server anymore. Can anyone confirm it working with the update? Also let me know exactly what issues you are having please. Are you using the simple version or the updated version with the menu? Post a link to your init.sqf and I'll take a look, there really aren't many places you can go wrong with it. Also please note that you do have to be flying for the updated version to work, it WILL NOT work on the ground. I'm sorry you're having trouble with it.
 
Its ur v1.0 nothing shows up at all. Installed correctly too. Variables were changed with the update also. The server monitor shouldnt need to be changed either. Just execvm at the bottom is all u need.
 
Once again, post your init.sqf and I'll see if there is something wrong, this is one of the simplest things to add as you only need to copy the files and add the line to execute it in your init.sqf. I suggest installing it again following the steps EXACTLY how I have written them, perhaps try the newer version as well. If you don't want to do that then double check the paths for the files. They are written to point to a folder named scripts, if they are in a different folder then you'll need to adjust them. Also nowhere did I say to change anything with the server monitor.
