Mission Intro Or Title Text - AdamWaldie/WaldosMissionPack GitHub Wiki

Associated Files: MissionScripts\MissionFlow\infoText.sqf

This feature is designed to create a formatted and easily customised title text sequence to run on mission start, displaying the following information:

  1. Mission Title (Pulled from the description.ext or manually specified by the mission maker)
  2. Mission Time/Date (Automatic) (Available in longhand and shorthand versions)
  3. Name of the map the mission is on (Customisable directly by the mission maker)
  4. Grid reference of the player at the time of the title. (Automatic)
  5. Group name, Player Rank and Player Name. (Automatic)

By default, an uncustomised version of this will run via the init.sqf.

Setup And Examples

Can be called on mission start via missionParameters.sqf with setup.

Or via the the use of the following command, edited with string for the desired segmentation Introduction Text - Cool Introduction stuff like location, date, time and mission name and locale There are two parameters. The Name Of The Mission & The locale of the mission.

This is the most basic iteration, it automatically grabs the mission title & location based on description.ext for title, and worldName for location. [] spawn Waldo_fnc_ENDEX;

There are date formats that can be used, short format and long format. This is a boolean value and defaults to false (short date) if left blank. Short Date Format is "01/11/2010" Long Date Format is "1st November 2010" The date can be overwritten with a direct string input on line 91 - useful for fictional dates in Star Wars and Warhammer 40k.

You can also customise the information text directly, by providing additional parameters. The first additional entry will be the title, while the second will be the location. An example use is in the example mission. An animation can also be specified in the third argument by inputting a String. Options are;

"NONE" 		- No animation
"WALK" 		- Slow walk forward
"SIT" 		- Stand from sitting on floor
"WAKE		- Wake up and stand.
"WAKESLOW" 	- Much longer version of "WAKE". Character stands more cautiously.
"COFFIN"	- Meme input. Rise from the ground like Nosferatu.
