#

the problem with that is the enemies that are further away are all tied to different scripts in their own way or two

#

And placed in custom defensive strategic positions in the urban enviroment

shell fox Mar 23, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

There are some commands of that kind: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Command_Group:_Mods_and_Addons

#

However, the proper way to handle this matter in (public) multiplayer is to whitelist the mods clients are allowed to use when joining the server. This is done in the server configuration, not by scripting.

Q: when I want to include some custom addons as part of a mission, how do I build them exactly? I have a Node gulp based process that rolls up the mission files. Pending is I need to also build those addons and include them. I'm sure there's a wiki reference, but the links escape me at the moment...

astral bloom Mar 24, 2023, 4:29 AM

#

An addon as a part of a mission? Or A mission as a part of an addon?

#

Because former doesn't really make sense

spark zealot Mar 24, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

hmm not 100% sure. I know the mission is rolled up as a pbo. AFAIK there are also addons subordinate in that structure, but I'm not sure how those might be rolled up as well. AFAIK there is not gulp comprehension there in the baseline project structure.

astral bloom Mar 24, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

Since, I'm not really understanding what is your case. How is, the gulp? thingy involves into your mission?

spark zealot Mar 24, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

there is a top-level build.bat file that calls out through Node and the gulp file that organizes mission framework, mission files, and ultimately bundles into pbo. in the gulp file, the baseline does not include the addons structure.

astral bloom Mar 24, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

Hmm, so, the thing makes the file/folder structure into the right format, so is pbo friendly?

spark zealot Mar 24, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

something like this: https://www.mycompiler.io/view/Ey7PUU9Nqz8

#

yes, pbo friendly, zip archive intermediate step, and ultimately pbo

#

there are a couple of addon bits I'd like to incorporate into that mix, not sure that just a sub-dir in the structure, or needs something more esoteric. but in any event, I think it can be structured as part of the TS file. i.e. function buildAddons(...) {} or something like that.

#

it might not even be a kosher approach exactly to include some addons in the same workspace...

astral bloom Mar 24, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

So uhh... I guess the workflow won't be involved with the pbo itself, if you pack it, the rest is load with the game, if I understand correct

spark zealot Mar 24, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

it was a silly thought on my part... probably better if I organized a separate repository and such around the concept.

Hi, All. Have following problem. I create mission using ticket system. Also I want AI slots in lobby dissapears after tickets for this slot ended. Now when tickets ended I can just exit to lobby, sat on the same slot and play game as if I have at least 1 ticket. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

@mild moat: not solvable using just the ticket system. You could write scripts to associate tickets with guid's though, but depending on your experience that might be out of the question

pliant egret What’s the best way to set up a mobile spawn point? I really want to use a comma...

IIRC.. I think you can attach a marker to a vehicle.

If not, use a teleport. (So attach invisible teleporting thing (idk pole or whatever, it doesn't matter it'll be invisible)
so once a player respawns (and gets whatever equipment) they can "spawn" (teleport) to the mobile CP.

#

I have extracted a few missions pbos, but a lot of them seem a bit messy in organisation or scripts and other resources.

Would be up to what you prefer and what your mission needs to contain.

starting with CfgFunctions is a good thing. No template, everybody does things differently when it comes to missions.

Hey, what's the "state of the art" in terms of modelling individual civillians "going rogue" and attacking (think guerilla warfare/terrorist tactics/disgruntled farmers who had their sheep killed by an airstrike xD)

I can't use @ALiVE's asymetrical system so I'm looking for either off-the-shelf scripts or just generally inspiration and ideas on how people currently implement this.

graceful matrix Apr 4, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

Hey folks! I've been trying to research this and can't seem to find the answer. I've written up an EventHandler script that I wanna attach to a group of AI. When I place EventHandler into innit box in Eden, works great, no problem.
Question is: when I'm zeusing an op, I wanna spawn multiple squads, at different points of the op, that have the exact same EventHandle. But, I think saving the model squad as a custom composition doesn't port through whatever they have in their innit boxes, so that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions for how to make it work/work around this?
EH script:

this addEventHandler ["EnemyDetected", { 
 params ["_group", "_newTarget"];
_self = _this select 0;
_newTarget = _this select 1;
_target = getPos _newTarget;
 _battery1 = [ar11, ar12, ar13];  
 _battery2 = [ar21, ar22, ar23];  
 _battery3 = [ar31, ar32, ar33];  
 _battery4 = [ar41, ar42, ar43];  
 _artillery = [_battery1, _battery2, _battery3, _battery4]; 
  _battery = selectRandom _artillery;
  { 
    _x setVehicleAmmo 1; 
    _x commandArtilleryFire [_target, "", 1]; 
    } forEach _battery; 
  _self removeEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler]
  }];

#

Trying to add it by just replacing initial this with _this doesn't do the trick while Zeusing.

#

Got it, thanks. I was hoping to avoid it, since I don't want this EH added for every single group I create, but maybe no way around it without it getting complicated.

astral bloom Apr 4, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

You can simply filter it by side command or some way to choose which to have or not

#

Well, apparently if is simple enough to filter, though

graceful matrix Apr 4, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

Oh, that gives me an idea. I want only a specific type of squad to get the EH. So maybe when I spawn that kind of squad, spawn them as independent, and filter the MEH to only apply to that side.

astral bloom Apr 4, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

Or, I think there is sets of EH for Zeus? Can't recall rn

graceful matrix Apr 4, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

There's this: not sure what the difference might be between this one and the one you suggested, exactly.

#

I guess the MEH will fire whenver a group is created (say, by script/function) rather than when I hand-place it as Zeus.

#

I'm new to EH, so still learning, but thanks Polpox. You've been very helpful last coupla days 🙂

If you actually want to have them never fire unless something fires at them you can set them to Never fire and switch the behaviour with Suppressed EH:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Suppressed

#

if (isServer) then {
    this setCombatMode "BLUE";
    {
        _x addEventHandler ["Suppressed", {
            params ["_unit"];
            if (combatMode group _unit == "BLUE") then {

            };
            remoteEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler];

I'm experimenting with the arma3 vehicle respawn module and the Nimitz and F/A-18E/F . When the plane gets respawned it has it's gear up, probably it's in flying mode. Anyone got an idea how to force the plane to spawn with gears down? I tried _plane animate ["frontgear", -97, true]; but it's not working

opaque warren Oct 30, 2015, 5:21 PM

#

@formal citruse The 'standard' solution to this seems to be spawning the plane somewhere else (on actual ground) and then setPos'ing it onto the Nimitz.

final basin Oct 30, 2015, 5:25 PM

#

Yes, that is usually the best method. It only stays where it is actually spawned for a fraction of a fraction of a second, so clients shouldn't even render it, nor should it cause problems unless they somehow manage to be in that exact spot (Use a corner of the map or the like, or terrain that's usually unused)

formal citrus Oct 30, 2015, 5:27 PM

#

Thanks! I currently try to work around this with assigning a temporary crew and issue (driver _plane) action ["LandGear", _plane]

#

how do you best mark the respawn pos on the Nimitz? I'd use an empty helipad, but not sure that's a good idea?

river nymph Oct 30, 2015, 5:41 PM

#

Yea that would work fine, even a marker if you manually add the correct height to getMarkerPos

thorny halo what makes a mission good in your opinion?

it's always good to have some stuff written in briefing section other than raw orders of the mission - background, who, where, why etc. Tasks shouldn't be spreaded too far without proper transport, people often get bored after 10 minutes of traveling, especially with no action. Tasks shouldn't be too vague too, "taking a city" sounds like a one hour long, depthless chore. Singleplayer stuff will benefit from conversations, visual storytelling, maybe some music, multiplayer shines when players can fulfill their roles more than cooperate

Hi, I have an object moving across a map. It is my aim to have a second object which travels with the first object. This second object should keep a distance of 20m to the first object and should always move to a position to the front right of the first object. Any ideas how to achieve this?

cinder holly Apr 21, 2023, 12:58 PM

#

attachTo 😄

vapid loom Apr 21, 2023, 1:10 PM

ha

#

The two objects are the player and another soldier. Unfortunately this kills the walking animation.

cinder holly Apr 21, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

don't talk about objects then :p
I would create a never-ending waypoint for guy2 and attach it to guy1 at the wanted offset

#

but how to attach a waypoint…
not waypointAttachObject as it attaches it to the object itself without offset
either attach an invisible object and attach the waypoint to that, or just use move frequently

vapid loom Apr 21, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

Got it. I will try this. Two questions, how would I create a waypoint which is fixed 20m top right of the player and would you recommend to call this routine in a short loop of 1s or is their a better solution?

#

In other words, not sure how to create an invisible object which I could attach to the player.

cinder holly Apr 21, 2023, 1:29 PM

are they in the same group or not?

vapid loom Apr 21, 2023, 1:34 PM

yes, they are

#

_MovArrow1 = "Sign_Arrow_Green_F" createvehicle (getpos player);
_MovArrow1 attachTo [player,[3,7,0]];
//hideObject _MovArrow1;
(units group player select 1) moveTo getpos _MovArrow1;

#

This is what I have so far

#

But the unit is not moving to the arrow

for waypoints, 10s (for the leader to issue the command)

you could also sleep depending on the destination's distance 😄

Regarding Vehicle Damage

Is it possible to somehow change damage values for vehicles so they dont act like paper when shot at?

Oof thats a very old answer haha.

So basically put this into vehicle init with this_ or its variable and it effectively halfes damage (or whatever I put there instead of /2 )

Yeah, placed in editor but nothing happening during play.

#

Both leaving it alone after placing, and trying to get Custom Weapon/Custom Mag to work - just need a few seconds of an .50 shooting from a window for scenery, so it's not mission critical for me to get this to work, just set dressing

loud kindle Apr 22, 2023, 11:27 AM

Yeah, nothing. I'm thinking; it tries to create a soldier holding the weapon to do the shooting, and I'm telling it to use a turreted .50 cal, so it's failing :/

If the gunner is supposed to die in the intro, then kill the unit in the intro

weak portal Apr 23, 2023, 9:55 PM

I hosted a mission last night which included a large number of editor placed objects. In an effort to reduce server strain, I set all of them to simulation disabled, as many of them to simple object as I could, and then local only to some of them.

We had a lot of really bad performance issues, and the server was spammed with these types of errors:

20:31:13 Ref to nonnetwork object 255da19c100# 1929506: gm_barbedwire_02.p3d
20:31:13 Ref to nonnetwork object 255da198b80# 1929517: gm_tanktrap_01.p3d
20:31:13 Ref to nonnetwork object 255da18c100# 1929524: gm_tanktrap_01.p3d

Any ideas on how I can avoid this, should I just not use local only?

Hi, I'm making a mission that involves wave defense from 4 specified directions, attacking 3 different target locations. Players will have to shift their defenses accordingly. Instead of using a (limited) script I found to create the waves I'm thinking of using the SOG CDLC Respawning Garrison module. The question is, is there a way to write a script that randomly activates 1 of 4-8 triggers?

shell fox Apr 27, 2023, 9:26 AM

#

@tawny nacelle One approach is initializing N variables ActivateTriggerN = false and setting the condition of trigger N to ActivateTriggerN. Then you can use ...

private _randomVar = selectRandom ["ActivateTrigger1", "ActivateTrigger2", ...];
missionNamespace setVariable [_randomVar, true];
```... to activate a random trigger.
Note that the code above may try to activate the same trigger multiple times if you run it multiple times. This approach also requires additional adjustments to work properly in multiplayer.

As of now it won't start because thisTrigger is an object and object itself will not return true or false. You would have to leave it as "this" to have the trigger activate when conditions from "Trigger: Activation" tab are met

Set the activation tab to Indfor, Present

#

And On Activation would have to be the other way at least, because you're setting player as hostile to opfor not the other way around and opfor will ignore him iirc. Set it to Server Only too, this function has global effect and server execution as per wiki

#

(if it's single player then server only does not matter)

I'm having a very odd issue where a group of AI is constantly set to careless no matter what I do

I have a script that spawns AI that when activated, creates the AI; joins them to an already created group; and disables their ability to path.

This part all works fine, but when actually using it in-game, the AI just sit there not doing anything. I check the group that all of the units are in and they're set to careless; despite the group being set to "Aware" in Eden.
I tried setting the group's behavior within the script after all of the AI spawned but they still remained on careless

#

Any ideas?

#

Also I put this in #arma3_scenario rather than #arma3_scripting because I do not believe this behavior is because of the script

#

Upon a further look, the single unit placed in Eden beforehand is set to the correct behavior, but after the droids spawn it is set to careless

cinder holly Apr 30, 2023, 9:30 AM

I suspect mods.

Anyone got an idea how to put an automatic turret on the ceilling? Disabling simulation allows it to stay up there but it ceases to function.

Basically, I want it to work like normal, just while being stuck up there

#

attachTo is way too complicated for this one solution, prevents me from properly hanging it up the ceilling

#

while theoretically possible, just wouldnt take too long to position properly

#

ohwait I got an idea, just attach it to a simple object

#

cant move, shoot etc

with normal attach to, I can still move around in the turret

Ahoy! Any idea why I might be getting "Data file too short" on a mission I export to multiplayer?

#

the game crashes to desktop the second I click host

#

already tried deleting the pbo and exporting it again and I get the same error =/

#

using 3den Enhanced, in case that matters

#

creating the pbo from the mission folder using arma 3 tools leads to the same result 😐

#

I have a suspicion and doing a quick search in this channel points to that as well...

#

am I allowed to have random files in my mission folder that I don't actually use anywhere? (rhetoric question; I'm confirming this right now)

#

okay confirmed

#

I had a png version of the mission preview/thumbnail image, that was causing the problem

#

...never mind the error is back thonkung

#

but the file size it wants is smaller now so... progress?

#

facepalm no, that was it after all; I just had another random file that was set to hidden (vim swap file, which is why it worked before: editor was closed)

However, players are respawning on their position of death regardless. I want them to not respawn at all and just switch to spectator. Selecting the ''switch the spectator'' option yields the exact same results.

im making a mission where an ai unit (which the player is part of) has to land on a shore with a speedboat. now ive got the problem, that the ai needs quite some time to get out of the boat (between 10 and 30 seconds after landing) which feels like way to long when playing it.
Anyone know how to get them going out faster?

I think the AI needs just the right water depth to get out, it cant be too deep. but if you want to force them getting out fast there is script commands for that (moveOut & leaveVehicle)

noble pagoda May 9, 2023, 8:26 AM

#

past sparrow I think the AI needs just the right water depth to get out, it cant be too deep....

alright thanks. actually the boat is driving even "on" the shore so they are either in very flat or no water at all but thats weird. But thanks i guess im just combining a get out command with a trigger

noble pagoda May 9, 2023, 9:42 AM

also another 2 questions:

in my mission the unit has to clear several compunds of enemies. however these compounds are only a few 100 metres away from each other (tho thick jungle is between them) and i want the enemies defend only the compounds i placed them in. as for now they are obviously attracted to the fights so they run around and dont stay where i want them to stay. i cant remove the pathing tho as that looks weird often
in the same mission i wanna have some background-fighting if possible (like helicopters flying in the background and shootings and explosion over the island. any idea on how to achieve that without influencing the other parts of the mission (again especially the ai part)

You should be able to remove their ability to react to faraway contact with 3DEN enhanced, otherwise a trigger around the compound that enables their pathing when players get close

JSRS, DynaSound 2, Enhanced Soundscape, can work pretty well together

#

JSRS wasn't updated by why would it be, sounds are very well recorded and there are 3rd party patches for other mods reusing these sounds. DynaSound doesn't have that benefit but it wins with any other sound mod through awesome explosion sounds. Enhanced Soundscape is great for some environmental echo

yes, although it's more of a #arma3_scripting thing since that's not a base game feature.

onPlayerKilled.sqf:

player setUnitLoadout (player getVariable ["Saved_Loadout",[]]);

so make two files, put proper line in each file, include them in your mission files and done

Back on Slack we started discussing maps and mods. There is an abbundance of maps and mods with Units. But creating interesting scenarios for a clan every week was the real challange. Every mission was basically a combination of the following.

#

Travel through X
Go to X
Search for X
Destroy X
Kill X
Clean X
Capture X
Guide X from A to B
Defend X

#

Where X is either an HVT, VIP, Area or Object.

#

Chain these together, shuffle them about and you have your missions..

Note to self: Build a random mission generator based on these chains...

Depending on what you want to save and how you want to handle the loading of it, It can get quite tedious to design the system to fit your needs, I know I sure find it difficult to.

final basin Nov 2, 2015, 4:45 PM

#

Though punishing the players for that, like making them go elsewhere to gather the needed intel is a good idea.

#

Said needed intel being located in a massive base.

craggy siren Nov 2, 2015, 4:57 PM

#

Sorry, I'm back now. Had to go make myself a coffee before I had what looked like another fit on the keyboard again. English isn't good when I wake up haha.

#

But yeah, initially the intel was the CIvilian player, but this meant he could get away with whatever he wanted. Players don't give up. So, now I've made it that he's carrying the intel, on a UAV Terminal (shut up, I'm lazy). But you'd think, he could just hide it wherever, right? Well, he could, but he'd be at a disadvantage. See, he needs to get it to a random extraction locations. There's 6 in total, and only one is the right one. If he equips the Terminal, he'll begin to download intelligence over time. Each 20% knocking off a false extraction point. So he can either hold it and run, or hide it and use it as a bargaining chip with the NATO for his life, while also giving the Insider a time to strike :D

#

.. I hate explaining my mission. It seems so simple in my head, and in text, it's like 'BLAH, here is a wall of text!'

#

But yeah, I won't ramble on about my own stuff anymore. Sorry about all the spam :P What is everyone else creating?

In the main campaign, hovering over squads or an army on the map shows a tooltip about them, and clicking them shows a view of the command structure. How would I go about doing this in the Eden editor?

Well, I'm running a big campaign at the moment. NATO special operations soldiers a la Bad Company style assisting in a retaking of Altis town by town, base by base. Each mission has its own specifics, and its own individual objectives. The first mission was a small group of paratroopers taking a radar station, establishing radio contact with command, and using that radio contact to provide JTAC support for a B2 to strike an airbase, then moving in and securing the airbase.

craggy siren Nov 2, 2015, 5:15 PM

#

Ooh, nice.

#

So, if you capture a town / base, can you respawn there? That would be nice.

final basin Nov 2, 2015, 5:15 PM

#

Second ones coming up in a few days, Leo2's assaulting entrenched Soviet positions, e.g. hull-down position T-80 series tanks, and then holding the area after a counterattack.

#

ATM, I'm running it piece by piece, so you play 1 mission, then the next.

#

The first one took 3 hours to run.

#

2nd one I'm hoping for a similar run time, maybe a bit shorter.

craggy siren Nov 2, 2015, 5:16 PM

Oh, I get you.

Mine's just a simple 'go here, get this, come back' type thing, with just the benefit of having someone screw it over haha.

Hmm, what is the most efficient way to limit a vehicle's fuel capacity? I'm thinking a simple loop where it'll just set the fuel back down if it goes over a certain point. Is there a more effective way?

most efficent? fuelCapacity via config

craggy siren Nov 2, 2015, 6:15 PM

I didn't even realize that was a thing I could do. I did search fuel limit / capacity, and found a few work arounds. I'll try and figure out fuelCapacity. Thanks!

rocky patio Nov 2, 2015, 6:16 PM

(but you need to do this via mod, and i just realised we're in the mission building channel so it's probably not a acceptable solution)

With the ACE mod, people can sit on chairs and drag them around.

I need to disable dragging around chairs. How would I go about doing that?

acoustic estuary May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

If the chairs are in the editor using that in the init will make it Global, just don't forget to change the _chair to this
If used in Zeus or otherwise while the game session is already running it will need to be globally executed, e.g on everyones machine

acoustic stone May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

would I be putting that in the chairs init?

acoustic estuary May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

Yup

acoustic stone May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

Putting it on a single chair would apply to all chairs, is that what you're saying?

acoustic estuary May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

No no, you will need to add it to all chairs

acoustic stone May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

acoustic estuary May 17, 2023, 4:14 PM

What I meant about the Global is that the setDraggable Ace Function I believe is Local meaning the effect of making it Draggable or not only applies to the person who executed the code effectively

But it is good to ask if you doubt

Hey all!

#

So say, hypothetically of course, that this hypothetical mission had a few vehicles, with a remove cargo function in the initialization box. Now, what would, hypothetically, cause said vehicles to only be empty for say, one person, and lets say, the host?

#

To be honest, I feel I should have covered this in Arma Mission Editing 101: The Basics, but I'm drawing blanks, unless I use a script.

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:13 PM

#

removeWeaponCargoGlobal will remove it for everybody.

#

put it in the init-box and it will remove the weapon in question as many times as there are players on the server.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:14 PM

#

sigh Something so simple. You'd think 'Remove this car's content when the mission starts' would be enough haha.

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:14 PM

#

for removing stuff it isnt a problem to use the init-box, unless you're really picky about load-times.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:15 PM

#

Well, everyone does load in at the same time. Ot at least, We wait until everyone is ready on the Briefing screen.

#

There's this one friend I have. Nothing I seem to do works for him. Like, most scripts execute fine for everyone else, but him? Noope.

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:16 PM

#

But if you have, lets say 40 players, and you have a vehicle with a init-box which has addItemCargoGlobal ["ItemGPS",12];

That GPS will be added 40 times = 4800 gps's

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:16 PM

#

Ah, I understand.

#

Had a 'limit the fuel of this vehicle' thing going, and everyone was like 'Oh, that's cool!' and he's like 'Uh.. It's full for me.' I'm not sure I'll keep inviting him to test nights haha.

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:17 PM

#

What you need to do is add a locality condition for adding and removing stuff from that vehicle. An easy way of doing it is if (!(local this)) exitwith {}; before you modify the loadouts, whether that's in a gear-script or in the init-box.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:17 PM

#

I wonder how many Global commands I've missed out on.

#

Maybe I could add that to the Helicopter fuel .sqf? It's ran by everyone, or at least I hope it is. I have no idea how else to do what I'm trying to do with that.

You should just run the helicoptersqf from your init.sqf like this if (isServer) then {run the script, call it, whatever};

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:20 PM

#

setFuel is only ran globally if the vehicle is local to the machine it's called on

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:20 PM

#

a-Ha

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:20 PM

#

Oh, that's where it was initially, and where I figured it should go, yet it only works if I'm in the pilot seat. Or so that friend of mine said, because it filled up for him.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:20 PM

#

use remoteExec and target the owner of the vehicle

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:21 PM

#

Alganthe help me my face-script isnt working and nobody can tell me why booooohooooo

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:21 PM

#

link ?

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:21 PM

#

It's right there higher in this convo

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:22 PM

#

I've never used remoteExec, I'll have to look it up. I was just going to throw it into the if (hasInterface) block and execute for each player, as it's only one helicopter. That said, I'll look up remoteExec.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:23 PM

#

@knotty lark that inline function, is it compiled on every machine ?

#

oh just read that you put it in description.ext, nevermind

#

did you tried replacing it by a hint to check if it's ran ?

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:25 PM

#

I run it like this:

call compile preprocessfilelinenumbers "scripts\setFaceBlack.sqf";

in my init.sqf, without a server condition.

#

Haven't tried that yet.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:25 PM

#

why call ?

#

if you call it, the function won't stay saved

#

call compile doesn't save the result

#

you need to first compile the function then call it

#

it would be something like ```
MYTAG_fnc_setFaceBlack = compile preprocessfilelinenumbers "scripts\setFaceBlack.sqf";

call MYTAG_fnc_setFaceBlack;

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:27 PM

#

Oooooooooh

#

Gotcha.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:28 PM

#

Woah, you can write code in Discord and it works? Ooh.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:28 PM

#

yeah, markdown support, even if it's imited

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:29 PM

#

Ah, nice. I've just been using hastebin.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:29 PM

#

pastebin and gist support SQF, dunno for hastebin

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:30 PM

#

And for that to work, i should run it in the init.sqf just like that, no server check?

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:30 PM

#

I'm pretty sure it does, one second.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:30 PM

#

why do you need a server check ?

#

if it's supposed to be ran on the server only put that in initServer.sqf

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:31 PM

#

Yeah

#

Okay

#

Let's see if this works.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:32 PM

#

http://hastebin.com/batogukuwu.sqf

#

Seems so.

#

Though, it detects .coffee initially, which l ooks the same when it comes to highlighting.

#

Just change the extension and you're good.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:32 PM

#

nah, it highlights comments

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:33 PM

Ah, you're right. Damn.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:34 PM

that's true sqf support

@crisp jackal When you say "it doesn't work" what happens exactly?

#

Can you see the mission in the mission selection screen.
Can you select the mission in the mission selection screen.
Can you see the role selection screen/lobby?
Can you see the roles in the role selection screen/lobby? or is it empty?
Can you select a role and go into the briefing screen?

Ping/mention me in the reply when you respond.

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:35 PM

#

Yeah, I get you. Weird, for comments on hastebin, you need to use 3 / and not just 2.

#

The only reason why I don't use github and all that is because it's too damn bright haha.

wooden dove Nov 3, 2015, 5:35 PM

#

use stylish, it's a firefox/google chrome extension

look like this > http://puu.sh/l83DH/c2b38731be.png

craggy siren Nov 3, 2015, 5:37 PM

Ah, alright. I used an inverter for most things. I'm not sure why, I just have trouble getting my eyes to focus on bright backgrounds.

You're working on ACE3? Nice.

Ah, right. I'm still trying to get my head around remoteExec. Really can't wait til I'm not exactly new at all this haha.

No the role selection screen has the roles I made. We can select one, but when we press ok and try to start the mission it just keeps taking us back to the role selection screen

Generally speaking when it comes to this kind of issue the RPT has the answer, not always but I'd say 90% of the time.

turbid kindle May 26, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

crisp jackal I could swear we already have that mod in the modpack

It needs to be installed server side and needs to be part of the commandline.

#

and it goes without saying but both mods need to be up to date.

crisp jackal May 26, 2023, 9:51 AM

#

Ah alright. I’ll take a look

Worst case scenario we just remove both of the mods

I actually dunno if they’re up to date

turbid kindle May 26, 2023, 9:51 AM

and remember to remove all objects and items from the mission that are part of this mod.

@craggy siren I feel you man. :D I've spent too many hours trying to figure out how things in mission making work in arma.

#

1 year behind me and i'm still dabbling in basics as many witnesses here can tell.

#

Hmmh.

#

Can't get it to work @wooden dove , even with the fixes you gave me I see my basic profile face when I load up the mission on a local hosted MP session or a dedi MP session.

tame sage May 26, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

How can you force static turrets (eg machine guns or the SOG 105mm AT gun) to fire at something? When using doFire, forceWeaponFire, or fireAtTarget after doTarget, the direction is fine but not elevation. Is there a corresponding command to commandArtilleryFire that does the thinking for me?

astral bloom May 26, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

You can check lockCameraTo

knotty lark Nov 3, 2015, 5:54 PM

#

There must be something wrong with how I'm using initPost.

#

Because the face is set to black for all opfor in editor, as it is supposed to.

#

But in MP it is overwritten by the face in the profile, which is exactly why I'm using initPost

#

Which should be run after everything so that all O_Soldier_base_F class people get their faces changed to black faces.

#

Wait, what? The script is run in editor, I see the hint i put at the start of it, but on a local hosted MP session the hint doesn't show.

#

What on earth is going on here.

#

:D

#

Oh well I have to get going now. If anybody comes up with a solution to my little problem help would be most appreciated.
