Salty Dog Exile: Recruit Bodyguard Ai

Description: Recruit Ai Body guards from your XM8 or from placed objects on the map.

How it works: Deploy a statue from your Xm8 using beef parts. Scroll on the spawned statue & choose "Recruit Bodyguard". The statue despawns & an ai will appear in your group.

Rules: Can't deploy the ai guard in a safe zone. Ai despawns on restarts. Ai only attacks mission ai (only tested on DMS Ai).

Command Ai movement:

1. Press ESC>Configure>Controls>Show:Command

2. Change the "ACTION" of "Select Unit 1" to the key of your choice (I used "semicolon"). Press "OK" and go back to the game.

3. Press "semicolon" to select your Ai, then hit "space bar"

4. Move your mouse to the position you wish the Ai to hold or vehicle you wish the Ai to enter. Now hit the "space bar" :)

Command Ai to drive:

1. Exist a vehicle from a passenger seat.
2. Order the Ai will hop in the vehicle.
3. Get in the vehicle & mark waypoints on the map. You can also take over driving.

I would like to change the ai behaviour to help kill other Exile Players out of the players group. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Install: Recruit Ai from your XM8.

1. Install ExAd by @Janski https://goo.gl/VBxFFa

2. Drop the DeployVehicle folder into your.mission\ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\DeployVehicle

   Make sure you drop the Deploy Vehicle server file in your @ExileServer/addons folder found here https://goo.gl/VopP4g

3. In config.cpp search for class CFGXM8

Add the following to extraApps[] = { };

"ExAd_Unit"

The line should now read: extraApps[] = {"ExAd_Unit"};

4. Underneath the extraApps line should read:

class CfgXM8 
{
	extraApps[] = {"ExAd_Unit"}; 
	
		class settings
	{
		controlID = 4070;
		appID = "App01";
		title = "Settings";
	};
	
	class healthScanner
	{
		controlID = 4120;
		appID = "App02";
		title = "Health Scanner";
	};
	
	class slothMachine
	{
		controlID = 4140;
		appID = "App03";
		title = "Sloth Machine";
	};
	
	class ExAd_Unit
    {
        title = "Recruit Soldier: x2 Beef Parts needed";
        logo = "ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\Unit\dog.paa";
        bambiState = 0;
        vehicleClass = "Land_AncientStatue_01_F";
        recipe[] = {{"Exile_Item_BeefParts",1}};
        packable = 0;
        autoCleanUp = 0;
        quickFunction = "['ExAd_Unit'] call ExAd_XM8_DV_fnc_spawnVehicle";
    };
};
/*
	XM8 Extra apps, the Exile way of doing it
	
	Here is an example app layout:
	class XM8_App01_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
	{
	    textureNoShortcut = "";  	// Path to picture. This can be via mission file or client side PBO
	    text = "";					// The name of the app to be display on the button
	    onButtonClick = "";			// The code to fire when the app is clicked
	    resource = "";				// The name of the resource to load for the app, leave as an empty string if you just want to run code without a GUI, like BOOM or spawning a bike
	};
*/

class XM8_App01_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
    textureNoShortcut = "\exile_assets\texture\ui\xm8_app_settings_ca.paa";
    text = "Settings";
    onButtonClick = "['settings', 0] call ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide";
    resource = "XM8SlideSettings";
};

class XM8_App02_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
    textureNoShortcut = "\exile_assets\texture\ui\xm8_app_health_scanner_ca.paa";
    text = "Health Scanner";
    onButtonClick = "['healthScanner', 0] call ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide";
    resource = "XM8SlideHealthScanner";
};

class XM8_App03_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
    textureNoShortcut = "\exile_assets\texture\ui\xm8_app_slothMachine_ca.paa";
    text = "Sloth Machine";
    onButtonClick = "['slothMachine', 0] call ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide";
    resource = "XM8SlideSlothMachine";
};

class XM8_App04_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
    textureNoShortcut = "\exile_assets\texture\ui\xm8_app_boom_ca.paa";
    text = "BOOM!";
    onButtonClick = "call ExileClient_system_breaching_detonate";
    resource = "";
};

class XM8_App5_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
textureNoShortcut = "ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\Unit\dog.paa";
text = "Recruit Soldier: 1x Beef Parts needed";
onButtonClick = "ExileClientXM8CurrentSlide = 'apps';closeDialog 0;[] execVM 'ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\Unit\bodyguard.sqf'";
resource = "";
};

class XM8_App06_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1

    textureNoShortcut = "";
    text = "";
    onButtonClick = "";

{
    textureNoShortcut = "";
    text = "";
    onButtonClick = "";

};

class XM8_App14_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
    textureNoShortcut = "";
    text = "";
    onButtonClick = "";
    resource = "";
};

5. In config.cpp search for BeefParts and change the line to:

class Exile_Item_BeefParts { quality = 1; price = 50000; sellPrice = 14;}; // change the buy/sell price to whatever suits.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

UPDATE 21.11.18:

In your description.ext turn on the commanding menu (change to 1):

showHUD[] =
{
    1,   // Scripted HUD (same as showHUD command)
    1,   // Vehicle + soldier info
    1,   // Vehicle radar
    1,   // Vehicle compass
    1,   // Tank direction indicator
    1,  // Commanding menu
    0,  // Group Bar
    1,   // HUD Weapon Cursors
    1   // Squad Radar
};

Then players can see the command ai menu. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Want to make changes?

1. Change the XM8 logo at:

your.mission\ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\DeployVehicle\dog.paa

In config.cpp under "class ExAd_Unit", change the line to suit your logo name

logo = "ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\DeployVehicle\dog.paa";

2. Change the soldiers at:

your.mission\ExAdClient\XM8\Apps\DeployVehicle\bodyguard.sqf (line 7)

Here are the classnames: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_CfgVehicles_GUER

Infistar Settings (thanks to @1man): Add "Craft Vehicle" to the allowedActions section:

allowedActions[] = {"Break free","Use AutoLockPicker","Craft Vehicle","Hack UAV"};

Future Updates:

Would love the ai to attack players not in your group. Let me know if you have ideas on how to do this.

Thanks to @Janski for making the cool EXAD XM8 Apps and @BetterDeadThanZed for the custom buildings to server addons script.

Enjoy!! aussie
