DynamicCamo v1.5 example scenario.

DynamicCamo (Updated Version 1.5 ) 17/5/19

Note this is a brief test scenario with DEBUG set ON to show the calculated camo values. To use the script in your own mission get the script from https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/223202-release-dynamiccamo-script/ You can get the editable version of this scenario there if you want to see how ive set it up. March 2022 - note that the script is in the folder for this test mission. I will reload it to the forum in the next couple of days.

IMPORTANT - I would advise using the MOD VERSION now which is available from my workshop rather than the script. It is essentially the same but any improvements or changes will be made to the mod version. The forum thread can be useful though if you want to understand aa bit more about what the script is doing.

NOTE This is just a basic test scenario, nothing fancy. Escape across the fields to the NNE to the outskirts of Athira and watch out for patrols. Watch your camo value change as light level changes, overcast, rain and fog changes and as you dodge to cover and change stance etc. The "knows about " value is shown for the leader of the group coming down the road when you start so you can see from the value if and when he detects you.


What does it do?

It takes account of players stance, uniform and environmental factors to adjust the players and/or AI unitTrait CamouflageCoef and audibleCoef. A low camouflageCoef and audibleCoef gives greater camouflage to the unit and makes it harder for ai to see and hear you.
Vanilla units normally have camouflageCoef and audibleCoef set to 1 as default. This script dynamically resets this depending on a number of factors. It does this each time player changes stance and at set intervals.
This is not just a "stealth" or Ghillie script and will provide camo benefit in all infantry combat. No distinct handling of urban environment at this time. Coming later.

Why do you need this?
Player may feel AI are not sufficiently impaired in detecting player by factors such as uniform camo, light level, rain, Overcast level, Fog, and Wind, and Trees, Bushes and rocks near player.Script allows player to determine what impact these factors will have on AI ability to detect player or ai unit by sight and sound
It does not alter AI ability to detect movement.
When the script is run on an ai unit it impacts the ability of other ai iunits to see or hear that uit depending on environmental factors etc just as for player.

What influences the Dynamic Camo?
Units stance, units uniform, Fog, Rain, Overcast, light level,wind and bushes or trees and some other objects ( rocks, telephone poles so far) adjacent to unit. Changes happen automatically on change of stance (a minimum 3 second cooldown is built in.) and at scheduled intervals of around five seconds

Can the effect be adjusted ?
User can adjust impact of the Dynamic camo script in their own scenario by passing the range for the impact for both camouflageCoef and AudibleCoef . These are passed as arguments when calling the script. See guide to adjusting the effect.InstallationCopy script as camoscript.sqf to mission folder. In player init put camo = [this, "DEBUG", 0,1,0,1,5] spawn compile preprocessFile "camoscript.sqf"; will run script in DEBUG mode with a five second recalc delay and a full effect..Remove DEBUG to turn off debug information and just play.
