Whatever new scripts are in RenAlert 0.993 (NeoSaber said that he has fixed a few bugs in some of my scripts plus written several RA scripts, bascily I will be taking all the code NeoSaber releases (as per GPL he is required to elease it) and adding it to 1.8.
Any sutable-to-include scripts written by others (such as scripts for RA2Ven done by
boris)
JFW_Spawn_Timer.
takes a custom to start the spawning (sendable either after all the sams go away somehow or at startup, depending on what you want)
Would only start charging again when beacon is collected.
Would require another script on the beacon powerup to tell the controler when its been "collected" (I think one of the existing "custom" related scripts should be able to do it.
Will also send a specified custom to a specified object when the beacon is spawned. You can do stuff with that such as opening the silo doors etc.
As for the person who wanted the C&R_Damaged_Transporter script, you can do that with a combination of JFW_Damaged_Send_Custom_Amount and JFW_Teleport_Custom
Most of the engine-calls stuff isnt likely to make it into 1.8 (the flying infantry stuff for example will definatly not be in 1. . Some engine calls may well be in 1.8, I havent fully decided yet.
I am also (especially in the light of the work done by SK on bhs.dll) considering adding more clones of standard westwood scripts to scripts.dll 1.8 (M00_BuildingStateSoundControler and M00_BuildingStateSoundSpeaker in particular are likely candidates)
What I need now is any script ideas you may have.
Also, I need any code you may have and want to contribute.

Add new fuction to JFW_Create_Destroy_Object_On_Custom_Bone:
When the parent object is destroyed it is attached to, it should destroy itself.
(Can done with Explosion)
I'm using this script to spawn exhaust smoke effects when something enters the vehicle.

You may or may not remember my original idea, but...
Ok, here goes: you destroy a building, and building is dead. Once building is dead, a script attached to the controller kills any script of your choice; as in, the particular script that is 'killed' stops working for the rest of the game.
For example, there's a script that spawns giant chickens that fall from the sky every 5 seconds. If you kill the AGT, the script that spawns the giant chickens is 'killed', so that the giant chickens stop spawning. Is this possible?
Or is it possible for a script to have an option that once it receives a certain message, the script stops working for the rest of the game. So you could have script A, which sends the message once a certain condition has been met; and script B, which receives the message and kills itself once word reaches it. Is this possible?
Is it also possible to have the script stay dead whenever a new object is spawned, and it has the dead script attached to it? This way, once a script is killed, it stops working for the rest of the game (or maybe until it is re-enabled).

with JFW_Create_Destroy_Object_On_Custom_Bone, attatch JFW_Death_Send_Custom to whatever which can then send the destroy message to the object with JFW_Create_Destroy_Object_On_Custom_Bone on it, thus doing what you want.

So with those scripts, I can attach a 'regenerate health script' to every tank and with the destruction of the repair facility, tanks will stop regenerating their health?
Well, that's not specific enough. With those scripts you mentioned, I can 'destroy' another script? Not any object ingame, but a script?

ok, group_purchase can be done easily.
It would allow one person to contribute multiple times if they have enough credits to do so (because thats easier than trying to track down everything)
I will look into the other ideas.

ok, a new script idea that I will implement.
JFW_Building_Damage_Controler. Used to make things that dont usually damage buildings (because they use Create_Explosion to cause damage) do damage to buildings.
Parameters will be the IDs of the buildings.
Also, the message to listen for.
And the distance from the building controler that the thing doing the damaging can be.
And how much damage to do.
There will also be a forumla for damage scaling (so that the closer you get the more danage you do) The exact forumula is still to be decided (and this logic will be optional)
Then, when it recieves a message, it checks the location of the message sender against the location of each building controler. If it is close enough, it applies the appropriate damage (based on the forumula).
This script is usefull for many things including Nuke Trucks (just set the damage big enough to ensure total destruction of the target) and the GLA bomb truck in a Generals mod (if someone was to do a Genreals mod).
Although you still need another set of functionality to actually made the explosion and make it do damage to people and vechicles.
I will be making this script and functionality (the exact details of which are still to be worked out) generic enough to use for infantry also (for example, GLA terrorists from Generals or Goblin Sappers from Warcraft)
Also, another one JFW_Death_Destroy_Object_Delay, this is like JFW_Death_Destroy_Object but adds a delay before the object is killed.

ok, some more ideas.
JFW_Drone_Damage
Basicly, when <the object with this script attatched gets attatcked by <the specified preset>, it starts being damaged by <x health and/or shield strength> every <x seconds>. There will (probobly) also be an option such that if it gets repaired, the effect wears off.
This script is intended for e.g. the Terror Drone in RA2.
JFW_Vehicle_Powerup and JFW_Vehicle_Powerup_Preset.
Basicly, when the powerup with this script attatched is collected, a custom is sent to the vechicle in which the collector of the powerup resides (if they are in one).
If they are not in one, no custom is sent.
Both versions will allow you to specify which team to trigger the custom on (gdi, nod or both). The preset version will allow you to make it only send for certain presets.
Note that if someone who doesnt trigger the custom collects the powerup, it will still disappear.
This will be usefull (once some appropriate scripts for responding to the custom are written) to implement "upgrade" logic like in Generals (the GLA vehicles that can pick up scrap and get better)

Is there a script you can make that would somehow create additional turrets on a vehicle, like when a vehicle is created, and additional turret object is created as well, and once every frame, it's position is updated relative to the location of the vehicle object, so the turret would seamlessly follow the vehicle, and would seem as if the vehicle had more than one turret, whereas it would be more like a seperate vehicle following the first. I saw something like this on KGBSpy's RA2: Aftermath site, where he said that a tank he was making [Battle Fortress] would have one driver controlled turret and 4 more turrets added by scripts. This way, you could do some really awesome things with vehicles, like a Red Alert Cruiser that can shoot 3 ways at once, or being able to fix the depth charge problem with the patrol boat and destroyer.

that "additional turrets" thing, I know there are some existing scripts that do various related things.
But I will keep it in mind and see if I can rig something sutable up.
I will use Create_Object_At_Bone and Attatch_To_Object_Bone to make it work.

Is it possible to create a script thats similar to M01_Hunt_The_Player_JDG but compatible for use with air vehicles? I would really love to see an orca shooting a tank without using waypoints. Also is it possible to increase the ai of skirmish characters by allowing them to acutally enter the vehicles like in bf1942 and pilot them?

Is it possible in any case that you can add a script for infantry.
Im making a map, and i want very realistic effects in it, and was thinking if there was just a way to make it so after 5 minutes of running around, you slowly loose health until you start walking again.
Either way it doesnt really matter, but id really like to know if its possible to do this.

that infantry idea I dont think I can do
As for building capture, I must do some experiements on that.
I think it might be possible but it would require a LOT of coding to pull it off.

My idea was to set a zone near the MCT which changes the owner of the building when entered by an enemy engineer.
If the engineer leaves the zone or is killed, the building returns to original owner.
Another idea is that if the building has less than 50% health, if the zone is entered by a friendly engineer, the building is healed and kills the engineer.
I remember there was talk about this script before.
