[Release] - MV22 Ramp-Door Animations

[Kind-Sir]

This is a script that adds an "Open MV22 Ramp" and "Close MV22 Ramp" action to the pilot's menu, along with an animation for it.

*YOU WILL NEED TO UNBAN THE MV22 FROM YOUR SERVER BEFORE USE!*
Follow Duck's guide to adding banned material into DayZ

Installation​

========================

1. Obtain a copy of your DayZ mission file (.pbo), located in \Arma 2\MPMissions(Chernarus is dayz_1.chernarus.pbo)
2. Unpack your .pbo file using a program such as PBOView or cPBO
3. Create a folder called "addons" (mind the lower case)
4. Make three new files inside "addons"
   mv22_addAction.sqf
   mv22_init.sqf
   mv22_functions.sqf
5. Copy and paste the code relative to each file (located at the end of this post)
6. Go back into the folder with the mission.sqm, Description.ext, init.sqf
7. Open init.sqf in a folder
8. Add the following to the function of: if (!isDedicated) then...
   

    sleep 1; _mv22_ramp = [] execVM "addons\mv22_init.sqf";

9. Pack the .pbo and upload it to your server
   !Make sure your server is off when uploading an edited .pbo file, and KEEP BACKUPS
10. Test it out with an MV22 in your server OR in the Arma 2 Mission Editor.

Scripts​

========================
mv22_addAction.sqf

_array = _this select 3;
_param = _array select 0;
_code  = _array select 1;
_spawn = _param spawn _code;

mv22_init.sqf

#include "mv22_functions.sqf"
{
    _vcl = _this select 0; //set the vehicle to _vcl
    _vcl setVariable ["mv22_ramp", 0, true]; //create a variable for the ramp
    _openRamp = _x addaction ["Open MV22 Ramp","addons\mv22_addAction.sqf",[[],mv22_openramp],7,true,false,"","player == driver _target && format [""%1"",_target getVariable ""mv22_ramp""] != ""1"""]; //add action to open ramp, details to come
    _closeRamp = _x addaction ["Close MV22 Ramp","addons\mv22_addAction.sqf",[[],mv22_closeramp],7,true,false,"","player == driver _target && format [""%1"",_target getVariable ""mv22_ramp""] == ""1"""]; //add action to close ramp
} foreach (nearestObjects [[3000,3000,0], ["MV22"], 50000]); //Get all MV22 vehicles in map

mv22_functions.sqf

mv22_openramp = //function to open ramp
{
    _vcl = vehicle player; //assign the vehicle the pilot is in to _vcl
    _vcl animate ["ramp_top",1]; //open the top part of the ramp
    _vcl animate ["ramp_bottom",1]; //open the bottom part of the ramp
    _vcl setVariable ["mv22_ramp", 1, true]; //set it open
    WaitUntil {!Alive _veh || format ["%1",_veh getVariable "mv22_ramp"] != "1"}; //if mv22_ramp is 0 or it is destroyed, continue with the script
    _veh setVariable ["mv22_ramp", 0,true]; //set mv22_ramp to 0, not needed, haven't tested if it's needed
};
mv22_closeramp = //function to close ramp
{
    _vcl = vehicle player; //assign the vehicle the pilot is in to _vcl
    _vcl animate ["ramp_top",0]; //close the top part of the ramp
    _vcl animate ["ramp_bottom",0]; //close the bottom part of the ramp
    _vcl setVariable ["mv22_ramp", 0,true]; //set it closed
};

Planned Features​

========================

• Add a script that will allow players to jump out of the back of the MV22 while it is moving, sort of like a paradrop.
• (?) Mounted weapon on the back, ramp opens to allow weapon to shoot?
