### Pickup and Dropoff Zones Setup
|
||||
Pickup zones are used by transport aircraft and helicopters to load troops and vehicles. A transport unit must be inside of the radius of the trigger and the right side (RED or BLUE or BOTH) in order to load troops and vehicles.
|
||||
The pickup zone needs to be named the same as one of the pickup zones in the ```ctld.pickupZones``` list or the list can be edited to match the name in the mission editor.
|
||||
|
||||
Pickup Zones can be configured to limit the number of vehicle or troop groups that can be loaded. To add a limit, edit the 3rd parameter to be any number greater than 0 as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also list the UNIT NAME of ship instead of a trigger zone to allow the loading/unloading of troops from a ship. You will not be able to fast rope troops onto the deck so you must land to drop the troops off.
|
||||
|
||||
***If your pickup zone isn't working, make sure you've set the 5th parameter, the coalition side, correctly and that the zone is active.***
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
--pickupZones = { "Zone name or Ship Unit Name", "smoke color", "limit (-1 unlimited)", "ACTIVE (yes/no)", "side (0 = Both sides / 1 = Red / 2 = Blue )", flag number (optional) }

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
{ "pickzone15", "none", -1, "yes", 0 },
|
||||

|
||||
{ "pickzone17", "none", -1, "yes", 0 },
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
{ "USA Carrier", "blue", 10, "yes", 0, 1001 }, -- instead of a Zone Name you can also use the UNIT NAME of a ship
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
AI transport units will automatically load troops and vehicles when entering a pickup zone as long as they stay in the zone for a few seconds. They do not need to stop to load troops but Aircraft will need to be on the ground in order to load troops.
|
||||
|
||||
The number of troops that can be loaded from a pickup zone can be configured by changing ```ctld.numberOfTroops``` which by default is 10. You can also enable troop groups to have RPGs and Stingers / Iglas by ```ctld.spawnRPGWithCoalition``` and ```ctld.spawnStinger```.
|
||||
|
||||
If ```ctld.numberOfTroops``` is 6 or more than the soldier group will consist of:
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 MG Soldiers with M249s or Paratroopers with AKS-74
|
||||
- 2 RPG Soldiers (only on the RED side if ```ctld.spawnRPGWithCoalition``` is ```false```
|
||||
- 1 Igla / Stinger
|
||||
- The rest will be standard soldiers
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dropoff zones are used by AI units to automatically unload any loaded troops or vehicles. This will occur as long as the AI unit has some units onboard and stays in the radius of the zone for a few seconds and the zone is named in the ```ctld.dropoffZones``` list. Again units do not need to stop but aircraft need to be on the ground in order to unload the troops.
|
||||
|
||||
If your dropoff zone isn't working, make sure the 3rd parameter, the coalition side, is set correctly.

Smoke can be enabled or disabled individually for pickup or dropoff zones by editing the second column in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
Available colours are:
|
||||
* ```"green"```
|
||||
* ```"red"```
|

* ```"white"```
|
||||
* ```"orange"```
|
||||
* ```"blue"```
|
||||
* ```"none"```
|
||||
|
||||
Smoke can be disabled for all zones regardless of the settings above using the option ```ctld.disableAllSmoke = true``` in the User Configuration part of the script.
|
||||
|
||||
### Waypoint Zones Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Waypoint zones can be used to make dropped or spawned troops automatically head to the center of a zone. The troops will head to the center of the zone if the coalition matches (or the coalition is set to 0) and if the zone is currently active.
|
||||
|
||||
If your Waypoint zone isn't working, make sure the 3rd parameter, the coalition side, is set correctly and the zone is set to active.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
|
||||
--wpZones = { "Zone name", "smoke color", "ACTIVE (yes/no)", "side (0 = Both sides / 1 = Red / 2 = Blue )", }
|
||||
ctld.wpZones = {
|
||||
{ "wpzone1", "green","yes", 2 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone2", "blue","yes", 2 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone3", "orange","yes", 2 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone4", "none","yes", 2 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone5", "none","yes", 1 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone6", "none","yes", 1 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone7", "none","yes", 1 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone8", "none","yes", 1 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone9", "none","yes", 1 },
|
||||
{ "wpzone10", "none","no", 1 },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Smoke can be enabled or disabled individually for waypoiny zones exactly the same as Pickup and Dropoff zones by editing the second column in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
The available colours are:
|
||||
* ```"green"```
|
||||
* ```"red"```
|
||||
* ```"white"```
|
||||
* ```"orange"```
|
||||
* ```"blue"```
|
||||
* ```"none"```
|
||||
|
||||
Smoke can be disabled for all zones regardless of the settings above using the option ```ctld.disableAllSmoke = true``` in the User Configuration part of the script.
|
||||
|
||||
### Transport Unit Setup
|
||||
Any unit that you want to be able to transport troops needs to have the **"Pilot Name"** in the ```ctld.transportPilotNames``` list. **Player controlled transport units should be in a group of their own and be the only unit in the group, otherwise other players may have radio commands they shouldn't**. The group name isn't important and can be set to whatever you like. A snippet of the list is shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
If the unit is player controlled, troops have to be manually loaded when in a pickup zone, AI units will auto load troops in a pickup zone.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
ctld.transportPilotNames = {
|
||||
"helicargo1",
|
||||
"helicargo2",
|
||||
"helicargo3",
|
||||
"helicargo4",
|

"helicargo7",
|
||||
"helicargo8",
|
||||
"helicargo9",
|
||||
"helicargo10",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|

### Logistic Setup
|
||||
Logistic crates can also be spawned by Player-controlled Transport Helicopters, as long as they are near a friendly logistic unit listed in ```ctld.logisticUnits```. The distance that the heli's can spawn crates at can be configured at the top of the script. Any static object can be used for Logistics.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
ctld.logisticUnits = {
|
||||
"logistic1",
|
||||
"logistic2",
|

You can also change the **name of a unit*** (unit, not group) to include "**hpriority**" to make it high priority for the JTAC, or "**priority**" to set it to be medium priority. JTAC's will prioritize targets within view by first marking hpriority targets, then priority targets, and finally all others. This works seemlessly with the all/vehicle/troop functionality as well. In this way you can have them lase SAMS, then AAA, then armor, or any other order you decide is preferable.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pickup and Dropoff Zones Setup
|
||||
Pickup zones are used by transport aircraft and helicopters to load troops and vehicles. A transport unit must be inside of the radius of the trigger and the right side (RED or BLUE or BOTH) in order to load troops and vehicles.
|
||||
The pickup zone needs to be named the same as one of the pickup zones in the ```ctld.pickupZones``` list or the list can be edited to match the name in the mission editor.
|
||||
|
||||
Pickup Zones can be configured to limit the number of vehicle or troop groups that can be loaded. To add a limit, edit the 3rd parameter to be any number greater than 0 as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also list the UNIT NAME of ship instead of a trigger zone to allow the loading/unloading of troops from a ship. You will not be able to fast rope troops onto the deck so you must land to drop the troops off.
|
||||
|
||||
***If your pickup zone isn't working, make sure you've set the 5th parameter, the coalition side, correctly and that the zone is active.***
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
--pickupZones = { "Zone name or Ship Unit Name", "smoke color", "limit (-1 unlimited)", "ACTIVE (yes/no)", "side (0 = Both sides / 1 = Red / 2 = Blue )", flag number (optional) }
|
||||
ctld.pickupZones = {

{ "USA Carrier", "blue", 10, "yes", 0, 1001 }, -- instead of a Zone Name you can also use the UNIT NAME of a ship
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
AI transport units will automatically load troops and vehicles when entering a pickup zone as long as they stay in the zone for a few seconds. They do not need to stop to load troops but Aircraft will need to be on the ground in order to load troops.
|
||||
|
||||
The number of troops that can be loaded from a pickup zone can be configured by changing ```ctld.numberOfTroops``` which by default is 10. You can also enable troop groups to have RPGs and Stingers / Iglas by ```ctld.spawnRPGWithCoalition``` and ```ctld.spawnStinger```.
|
||||
|
||||
If ```ctld.numberOfTroops``` is 6 or more than the soldier group will consist of:
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 MG Soldiers with M249s or Paratroopers with AKS-74
|
||||
- 2 RPG Soldiers (only on the RED side if ```ctld.spawnRPGWithCoalition``` is ```false```
|
||||
- 1 Igla / Stinger
|
||||
- The rest will be standard soldiers
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dropoff zones are used by AI units to automatically unload any loaded troops or vehicles. This will occur as long as the AI unit has some units onboard and stays in the radius of the zone for a few seconds and the zone is named in the ```ctld.dropoffZones``` list. Again units do not need to stop but aircraft need to be on the ground in order to unload the troops.
|
||||
|
||||
If your dropoff zone isn't working, make sure the 3rd parameter, the coalition side, is set correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
|
||||
-- dropOffZones = {"name","smoke colour",0,side 1 = Red or 2 = Blue or 0 = Both sides}
|
||||

|
||||
{ "dropzone9", "none", 1 },
|
||||
{ "dropzone10", "none", 1 },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Smoke can be enabled or disabled individually for pickup or dropoff zones by editing the second column in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
Available colours are:
|
||||
* ```"green"```
|
||||

* ```"orange"```
|

Smoke can be disabled for all zones regardless of the settings above using the option ```ctld.disableAllSmoke = true``` in the User Configuration part of the script.
