I placed the playable units in a plane so when the mission stars we spawn in a plane.
The problem is that when someone reconnects and spawns again, he spawns in the air, not in the plane.
Is there a way I can fix that?

thorny holly Apr 27, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

Spawn them on ground at mission start and use a moveInCargo after mission start is probably what I would do.

foggy widget Apr 27, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

does anyone use any mods to assist with object placement? namely i'm thinking placing hescos, walls etc. so things snap together to make things easier when building FOBs

novel rune Apr 27, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

You want to write one?

foggy widget Apr 27, 2018, 1:39 PM

kinda, but seems painful

No, it sounds fun.

sinful rampart Apr 27, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

I actually expected that to be included in 3DEN. And was confused when I couldn't find the snapping button when I used 3DEN for the first time

mossy lava Apr 27, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

You can set the snap grid to the "object size" but it's actually the bounding box size.

#

You can also set the grid to a custom size with set3DENGrid

Anyone here happen to know how to disable mission ending on tickets reaching 0? my respawnTemplates only has "Tickets" and "MenuPosition" and not the "EndMission" so I don't know why it's still ending the mission when tickets hit 0.

Are end mission modules suitable for TvT multiplayer? I've used them before without issues. Do I need to set trigger owner to stop the opposing sides end modules triggering for each other?

cinder holly Apr 28, 2018, 7:32 AM

#ip_rights_violations would be better for it. Also no, the fact he isn't active doesn't grant you rights on his creations sorry

@forest pivot In short you can't. Because there is no legal ported Taviana map.
or if his license has expired I think that's 30 years after death... So.. Not likely.

Ive run into a problem using the remove objects module, when running a server on auto init it doesnt remove the map objects. if not in auto init, its fine. is there something i can put in the init of the module. i realize modules are not the best way of doing things. it was just something i was exploring. its easier to use than script for missionmakers.

class Mission { addOns[]= { "missions_ew", "cacharacters2", "ca_modules_functions", "chernarus" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "missions_ew", "cacharacters2", "ca_modules_functions", "chernarus" };

#

It's possible to just leave blank add-ons for MP mission?

#

{ 	addOns[]= 	{ 		}; 	
addOnsAuto[]= 	{ 	 	};```

#

??

I've got big number of missions, I need some kind of automatize it

Hey guys just wondering is thier a way to make a respawn position unlock on a trigger and be able to start the mission in a vehicle instead of the respawn select screen

prime dome Apr 29, 2018, 6:57 AM

@gleaming junco if you go to one of the secenario properties, maybe general or multiplayer (can't remember), then there's a drop down menu that lets you set the game type.

Question, I'm having issues with putting a image in a briefing

#

Image works fine on monitors, screens, ect. But when I insert it into a mission Dairy Record. It won't appear

#

<img image=\res\Discord.jpeg'/>

#

Also tried PAA and JPG

prime dome Apr 29, 2018, 9:16 AM

#

@sharp axle what's the dimension? should be a power of 2 iirc

#

like 256x256

#

also is it just me or are you missing a '

damn that is probably the issue >.<

I haven't touched Arma in quite some time and are now trying to make a mission. I am trying to create a base which we start, and I am placing AI guards. How to best make them stand still (and look natural)?

#

is this disableAI "PATH"; the best way to do this?

prime dome Apr 29, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

if this is a multiplayer mission, then yes

Do you think that db would work the way I'm hosting? Via loading a mission on the host tab in game?

#

nope sorry

#

but i can give ya a gameserver

#

Uhh it might be a bit more than what I need idk

#

i just load this dope mission up for an hour or two at a time then peace out lmao

#

?

#

are you a good coder?

#

hardly but i've been doing a fugload of stuff lately, basically trial and error

#

lol same

#

i kinda want to make small scripts as possible

#

i get errors but if the shit works then i consider it an accomplisment

#

i made a roleplay mission file with 35 files

#

lmao

#

over 1000 functions xD

#

you should see how big my ravage mission has gotten with scripts, it was a script heavy mission to start but i've not stopped

#

xD

#

And on top of that I'm stupidly working on 3 different versions of it at one time 😦

#

why use so many files?

#

xDDDD

#

60mb mission file because i'm dumb

#

xD

#

how did you do that

#

sound files?

#

yeah lmao i wanted to do an easter egg with dancing slavs and a radio that thumps hardbass tracks

#

4 simple songs bloated the thing

#

xD

#

dont download em on high quality then

#

what program you use to code

#

notepad++

#

oof

#

was about to say: "Please dont say notepad++"

#

lmao

#

ye

#

i use Atom

#

never heard of her

#

its pretty good

#

real time collabs

#

collab?

#

@signal coral ?

#

it says atom has a real time collab function

thats nice 😃

sinful rampart Apr 30, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

All these collab tools are missing something.
Generally either everyone can write and trash others work. Or only one can write. Or missing language support.
codeshare supports most languages. But everyone can write. And you don't have names to see who writes. And no seperate chat like google docs.
codebunk you need account so that others can also edit and very few languages...
It needs someone to actually write a proper collab code editing thing.

codeshare language support. codebunk's naming people. codebunk's chat.
Being able to configure who can write. Display peoples current cursor.
Maybe I should learn webdev next when I'm done with modelling 😄

which browser do you mean?

gleaming junco Apr 30, 2018, 9:44 AM

For some reason its using the mission PBO name

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

briefingName in Description.ext I believe

neon raptor Apr 30, 2018, 9:56 AM

click binarize maybe (if you set mission name in the "attributes")

also briefingName in mission.sqm

Hey guys, some reason all my mission playables are close to indestructible and I can not find anything to set it to something more realistic. At the moment I can crash a helo and walk away from it or drop 800m and live. Any idea?

#

you using mods/cheats etc?

languid wing Apr 30, 2018, 12:09 PM

drop 800m? I don't think so 😄

neon raptor Apr 30, 2018, 12:12 PM

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:13 PM

so anyway, usual process is: remove every addon and mod, add them little by little, and grab which one is a pain

languid wing Apr 30, 2018, 12:14 PM

Reduced damage is unticked, never ticked it

#

And only mod that can affect is ACE

Hey guys. Looking for some thoughts. I'm building MP missions for my milsim unit's public server, the idea being that the mission is self sufficient to provide at least 24hrs game play. Tasks are generated automatically in a random sequence, randomly located in a progression of settlements to focus game play and prevent lone wolf type action. We have previously used ALIVE to drive AI actions but have grown less fond of it and are looking elsewhere. I'm looking at DAC and think it has potential although the group limits are much lower than Alive due to the lack of full virtualisation.

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:19 PM

#

check your Steam cache maybe. normal soldier: drop of 800m = ded @languid wing

clever acorn Apr 30, 2018, 12:19 PM

Anyone got any ideas about populating a full map with enemy in a way that is immersive and makes sense?

@cinder holly hence why I am asking. I mean, would save the medics some time but 😂

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:23 PM

#

I suppose so yeah ^^
ok, start the Vanilla game, try, if it's still effed up check your Steam cache

#

also disable cheats 👀 😄

languid wing Apr 30, 2018, 12:24 PM

#

cheats I wish, my KD in a lot of things would be much better...... By steam cache what do you mean?

#

Like I said, its for a mission I am building and every slot has the same issue

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:26 PM

#

does it happen only for this mission or every mission you create?

languid wing Apr 30, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

Checked now, for every mission

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

sooo it's not your mission, there's something wrong somewhere. try without addons at all

#

there must be something in there that has a "debug" to true or whatever, making you invincible

#

ShackTac interface maybe? IDK it but maybe there is a debug menu from a mod or something

languid wing Apr 30, 2018, 12:37 PM

#

OK so vanilla and new mission with loaded mods die on crash, hit a pole with the art rotor and got damaged. All normal. SO it is in the mission file. ShackTac as far as I know can not change playable damage values

cinder holly Apr 30, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

Ctrl+F allowDamage in the sqm maybe

prime dome Apr 30, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

mhm. you have player allowDamage true or something set somewhere

#

either in sqm or init.sqf

(or maybe even somewhere else...)

#

Well I fixed it

cinder holly May 1, 2018, 11:55 AM

#

#

(restart the game or change the file name)
^ this is because it loaded the file in memory, so changing the file will not trigger a re-read

onyx reef May 1, 2018, 11:56 AM

#

The field in the rugged screen takes the path like this textures\intel_1.jpg and not like this "textures\intel_1.jpg"

@onyx reef did you come right with the image?

For your bar gate place a closed one and drop the following in the init. Not my code but works damn well. Automatically opens and closes. Can just set the entities you want it to react to.

_nul = [this] SPAWN {while {true} do {
waitUntil {sleep 1; count ((getposATL (_this select 0)) nearEntities [["Car"],30]) > 0};
(_this select 0) animate ["Door_1_rot", 1];
waitUntil {sleep 1; count ((getposATL (_this select 0)) nearEntities [["Car"],30]) == 0};
(_this select 0) animate ["Door_1_rot", 0];
};
};

Has anyone got tips for making coop missions with 60 players?

cinder holly May 3, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

be sure to use the dynamic simulation to avoid a CPU overload about AI, I'd say

nocturne leaf May 3, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

@cinder holly Is there any difference to using that than a caching script? other than one being base game arma.

sinful rampart May 3, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

the one in arma is in engine and thus faster than a script

#

And it can do stuff that a script can't do

nocturne leaf May 3, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

Ok, I'll look into using that more.

brazen sleet May 3, 2018, 9:20 PM

#

is the one in arma actually better? does it handle weapons and dropped objects?

prime dome May 3, 2018, 9:24 PM

#

vanilla dynamic sim has had some bugs in the past that have prevented me from actually using it in MP

#

don't know where it stands now, but i know one of the bugs was fixed

#

I've usually found the caching system in the F3 mission making framework to be more reliable and it had slightly more features

#

don't know the current situation though

any tips for mechanized arms coops? like two tanks + 12 infantry players

#

how do i balance, or i shouldn't care about balancing and just let them roleplay the mission

feral gate May 4, 2018, 1:35 AM

#

Ensure that OPFOR can seriously compete against the two tanks and that the infantry have a valid purposes, including building clearing and optionally an anti-air attachment.

brazen sleet May 4, 2018, 3:04 AM

#

i actually overuse infantry with rpg in cities when doing those types of coops but tankers usually complain that they are too much

brazen sleet May 4, 2018, 5:59 AM

#

i tried to make a balanced playable map on beketov but it's just impossible

#

tanks just overpower everything there and AI from tanks is really bad, i just could spam enemy atgm and ifv with atgm but that's just frustrating

#

any ideas?

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:02 AM

im having trouble with assignTeam in multiplayer. i have a squad full of playable units, intended to be used as backup characters if the player dies. the wiki says "The command requires player to be fully initialised", but i want multiple squads like this, all led by players, so i cant just set the sl to player

#

you could make the tankers hold at the edge of town and suppress until the infantry clears out AT, then move in. then reinforce OPFOR with IFVs and attack choppers to send them scrambling

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:07 AM

#

Your question is unintelligible to me, Mr. Prophet.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:08 AM

#

where did i lose you?

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:08 AM

#

but i want multiple squads like this

#

And how that ties into what the wiki says.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:11 AM

#

so the intended result is four players each lead one squad, and if they die, they switch to the next unit in the squad. i have this working, but assignTeam doesnt do anything. there can only be one unit set to 'player', so that wont work here. all blu units need to be set to 'playable'

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:12 AM

#

Are you looking for this? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectPlayer

#

Because assignTeam just assigns a fire team.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:14 AM

#

no, the unit switching already works using respawn in the description.ext. i want to divide the squads into fireteams for the players so they dont have to do it themselves

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:17 AM

#

For what purpose.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:19 AM

#

convenience. my players are new, and the order of the units is all messed up because i had to change it so you switch into the next highest ranked unit. so red team should be units 2, 4, 7, and 8, and on weapons squad its gonna be different. ill never remember that

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

Have you tried

this assignTeam "RED";

into the initbox?

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

yeah, nothing happens

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

this spawn {_this assignTeam "RED"};

?

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:22 AM

#

Init: Type Script, expected Nothing

#

shall i run it in a trigger?

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:22 AM

#

No.

0 = this spawn {_this assignTeam "RED"};

#

It's just the editor being bugged.

#

0 = fixes that.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:23 AM

#

that did it!

#

so... what did you do? delay when it fires?

novel rune May 4, 2018, 6:24 AM

#

Push it to the next frame.

#

spawn puts the code into memory instead of executing it.

#

The scheduler then later walks over the code in memory and runs it.

#

Happens at least one frame later.

#

It's just another race condition in a poorly programmed game.

#

You're welcome.

hearty pivot May 4, 2018, 6:25 AM

The comment on the wiki "The command requires player to be fully initialised" is bunk.

or enableSimulation false ^^

@trim edge Just ensures that your only target is AI.

feral gate May 5, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

If you make Independent friendly to all and then stuck an ungrouped Independent soldier in a tank with two BLUFOR, which slot would the IND have to sit in for OPFOR AI to not to shoot the tank? Would it not work at all?

Can't test this now, but I figure it might be useful for starting a mission with passengers in an APC 'in danger' without actually risking Total Party Kill at the start of the mission for instance.

The vehicles takes the side of the highest ranking unit inside, the effectiveCommander.

fiery swift May 6, 2018, 4:35 AM

#

on the one server i play they have vehicles at base and u have to scroll over them and then u can hit activate then it looks like they fall a tiny bit and are enterable does that save performance?

feral gate May 6, 2018, 4:36 AM

#

Yes, the vehicles - before you activate them - have their simulation disabled. They're completely immobile, don't do anything, and probably don't register damage either.

fiery swift May 6, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

hmm... 🤔 sounds like they had a good idea 😄

#

they also have a respawn at base scroll wich is pretty neat

#

but they dont have a script to deactivate them would it be possible or is it not possible to put it back on no simulation?

#

for normal it should be right? but its arma

feral gate May 6, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

It is possible to make a script to deactivate their simulation, yes.

Problem is that would be bad for actual gameplay, and so there isn't one.

fiery swift May 6, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

why bad for gameplay?

feral gate May 6, 2018, 4:41 AM

#

Vehicles can't just be driven somewhere and made invincible when they're disabled or just being left somewhere. Once in the actual area of operations - rather than at the no-combat base - every vehicle has to be destroyable at all times.

fiery swift May 6, 2018, 4:42 AM

#

i see your point people would use it as driveable wall

#

just place it somewhere good deactivate it and hide behind it untill all is cleared

#

also if someone disables and enables it it would be repaired or does it just not get more dmg but stays at the old dmg?

feral gate May 6, 2018, 4:44 AM

#

Disabling simulation stops anything from changing.

fiery swift May 6, 2018, 4:44 AM

#

alright

brazen sleet May 6, 2018, 6:22 AM

#

so any has an idea of what is the best caching system nowadays for arma 3?

#

do people use zbe caching or something else? do dynamic simulation suffices?

prime dome May 6, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

Dynamic simulation may suffice depending on what you do. It doesn't allow execution of waypoints while cached though

#

The F3 framework's system is what I've used mostly

brazen sleet May 6, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

im mostly worried of CPS issues building up from so many groups with spawn scripts checking if they should be cached or not

#

I had that issue with zbe caching sometimes in my coops

#

Also, now triggers are performance friendly in large coops? I should use the server only option if im just running server side scripts?

prime dome May 6, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

Of course

#

Heck delete triggers when you're done with them, even

brazen sleet May 6, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

but last time i checked triggers were local to every machine

#

like it created a trigger for every client and then the server multiplied that

#

it's still like that or the server only trigger solves that?

#

sorry if im too stubborn about it but sometimes it isn't that simple about how locality is handled

prime dome May 6, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

@brazen sleet by default yes, but they added a "server only" option a couple of years ago

#

So if you're running server side scripts or whatever then tick the server only box

brazen sleet May 6, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

oh okay, thanks, i was asking because i used to make missions for arma 2 and i'm trying to get on with the new stuff

prime dome May 6, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

Ah

#

Triggers keep checking their condition even after the condition is true though, so I add a deleteVehicle thisTrigger at the end

brazen sleet May 6, 2018, 8:13 AM

#

oh ok

#

thanks

sinful rampart May 7, 2018, 6:47 AM

#

Ask the author how to do it.

#

Either you remove the pbo, or you need a 100% mod specific way to disable it, or you can't disable it at all.

Interesting, thank you.

oblique niche May 7, 2018, 8:20 AM

#

Is there a way to make AI avoid certain small areas? I am working on some scripts which are placing triggers around the map which are basically traps for players. The issue is, the AI constantly walk into them.

prime dome May 7, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

there is a zone restriction module but i haven't ever used it, so not sure if it is what you want

feral gate May 7, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

Zone Restriction is focused on the player. It's almost entirely broken to my knowledge, besides.

prime dome May 7, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

ah

#

well in that case, maybe you could set up the triggers so that they are only activated by players?

cinder holly May 7, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

I encountered issues if the player got in a vehicle, but that was back in A2

#

(with ZORA)

oblique niche May 7, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

Nah, the nature of the traps are they activate if anything enters. I still want them to trigger if AI walks into them, I would prefer the ai to not constantly walk into them

prime dome May 7, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

why is the AI walking into them, though? waypoints or on their own

oblique niche May 7, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

Path finding in general

#

I do randomly generate the positions of those traps and they sometimes are at roads or near roads or allay ways. General paths any AI would use

brazen sleet May 8, 2018, 3:33 AM

#

any one knows tips for night stealth missions?

#

i just can't get a good AI detection value for spotdistance and spottime

they either spot you at 300m or are completely unaware of you walking to the side of them

😬

cinder holly May 9, 2018, 9:59 AM

#

your "best" shot at it would be to put all your scripts in the mission.sqm and binarize it 👀

no but seriously this is at the same level as "encrypting" a webpage; in the end you can always get the content, because the game itself needs to open it to interpret it

sinful rampart May 9, 2018, 9:59 AM

#

You cannot protect your mission that way. People can still just copy them. And if they are willing to put 10 minutes of effort into it they can just decrypt the script within seconds (with the method you proposed)

cinder holly May 9, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

if he steals and republishes your mission, put a copyright claim on Steam
if he just claims among your friends, "deal with it" and tell him to f-off

sinful rampart May 9, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

There are a couple solutions that are supposed to prevent people from unpacking the pbo or reading the scripts. But you just can't reliably protect a mission because Arma has to be able to read it. And at that point a human can also read it

cinder holly May 9, 2018, 10:12 AM

Do the virtual entity Zeus units also need a game master module or do they just work?

@warped moon yes, just give them a variable name like Bob then set the game master own field to Bob

#

And make sure the virtual entity is set to playable

timid plume May 9, 2018, 5:34 PM

I think the question was that if you need a zeus module for the units to work on their own, if that is the case then no

nocturne leaf May 9, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

Do you mean being able to access the Zeus menu without the game master module? @mudnut#8357

timid plume May 9, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

@nocturne leaf No, re read what I said. For the unit, as in a playable or non playable unit to function (work) on it's own without the need for zeus

Hey fellas, does anyone here know how to make a good loadout box. Now what I mean by this is something like in Project Reality or Squad. I want to make it easier for my unit to change loadouts in the persistent campaign we have.

Basically what I am trying to do is take my VA loadouts and make the accessible by selecting them at a box. The reason I don't want Virtual Arsenal, even if its only with a few items in is because certain people have a tendency to abuse it.

If anyone knows a good mod/script/tutorial I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

sinful rampart May 9, 2018, 11:48 PM

#

Go into VA. Press the Export button at the bottom right. There you have a script. Then use addAction to add a action to the box that gives you the loadout

#

But in the end that's not really different from a arsenal with a whitelist.
yeah you can take unlimited amount of ammo from the arsenal. But you could also execute the loadout script, dump everything onto the ground, execute it again. And essentially get unlimited items

signal coral May 9, 2018, 11:50 PM

#

The problem I have with the arsenal is not the infinite amount of items, its just the fact that with a whitelisted Arsenal people can load their saved loadouts and some do abuse this to load in certain gear

#

I also have a problem when people respawn, they respawn with what they died with rather than the original starting gear, any way to change this?

sinful rampart May 9, 2018, 11:52 PM

#

ACE mod should have a module that you can use to have people respawn with the gear they died with. If you don't have ACE you could build that yourself.
basically you use a eventhandler that fires when the player dies and stores his inventory. Then a eventhandler when the player respawns that restores his inventory

signal coral May 9, 2018, 11:55 PM

#

Yeah I have ACE and I want to disable that feature, I want them to use their starting gear and act more as a "reinforcement" rather than just a respawn

sinful rampart May 9, 2018, 11:55 PM

#

I wanted to tell you to google for it.. But most scripts that you quickly find are either outdated or crap..

#

Ohh I missread that then

#

Do you want the same loadout for everyone?

#

Go to arsenal. Make the loadout and use the export button. Then create a onPlayerRespawn.sqf file next to your mission.sqm.
paste params ["_varname"] into the first line and the loadout script after it.
I don't know what variable name the vanilla arsenal uses. You'll have to replace _varname by what the loadout script uses

signal coral May 9, 2018, 11:59 PM

#

Yeah I just found some stuff online along with what you posted, thanks!

sinful rampart May 10, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

its just the fact that with a whitelisted Arsenal people can load their saved loadouts crappy bug in vanilla arsenal.
If your mission uses ACE anyway, use the ACE arsenal. it doesn't have that problem

signal coral May 10, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

Yeah, I was hopping to add like a box where you can scroll and select Machinegunner for example and it applies the loadout to you

sinful rampart May 10, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

you can use example 2 to execute a script file. And just put the exported script from arsenal in there

#

but again. Don't know what variable name the arsenal export uses. You might have to replace that

delete one or the other anyway, much less likely to get moderator punishment that way.

Anyway, not many people would be able to help you with a mod-based filename. A better thing to do would be to just search through every mod folder you have on your computer for it and find the mod that way.

brazen sleet May 10, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

probably check if some variable is null in their client

#

if it isn't null, then the mod is activated

#

some mods use global variables to check some things, see if you can pick some of those

#

you can also read the cfgpatches and see if the mod is loaded

i think...

I've got a question. Is it possible to make a vehicle gunner fire in a certain direction with unitCapture and unitCaptureFiring?

timid plume May 11, 2018, 6:11 PM

#

@wheat kiln A) Don't cross post. B) Is your unit not turning in the direction it was captured in?

wheat kiln May 11, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

A) Sorry. I won't in future.
B) To give a bit of context, the unit in question is a main gunner of a ship. The gun fires, but not in the desired direction - it just fires straight off the bow, not at an angle like I recorded it. Here is my script:

[gun2, wp5] spawn BIS_fnc_Unitplayfiring;

wp5 = <movement data> ;
[gun2, wp5] spawn BIS_fnc_Unitplay;```

#

With gun2 being the name of the ship.

wheat kiln May 11, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

To summarise, the problem basically is the gunner won't turn his gun as in the unitCapture recording.

is deleting/recreating out-of-view simpleObjects worth it?
afaik no 😀

cinder holly May 11, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Saved\Steam is only the saves

#

and that's what I think about simpleObjects, but I am not "100%" sure

#

I plan to populate houses with furniture, and I wonder if it's better to clear where there are no players around

neon raptor May 11, 2018, 8:21 PM

nigel did some experiments in that direction, maybe he knows the truth (deleting/recreating stuff) 😀

I
Deleting out of view units and vehicles is 100% worth it. I never tried simple objects. But since they don't move, no physx etc. That's where most of the performance goes for vehicles.

Deleting simple objects is mostly likely not worth it

#

But then again houses with furniture, sounds like a lot.

#

I'd make a script similar to tpw

#

TPW has a script that gives houses furniture if ur close to them

#

Also houses should not be simple objects, cuz u wanna open doors

#

When u have 100s of houses. Ur gonna wanna optimize the routine of checking if it's close for uncaching. Cuz checking 100s of things is gonna take time and it might end up being quite expensive.

Cluster the things u wanna cache. And cache it all.

I didn't use simple objects but 10k objects and around 500 ai, disabling simulation for all of those, out of view, clientside I went from 13 to 40 fps.(altis)

Simple objects will work like map objects, hiding and disabling those out of view won't do much if anything.

cinder holly May 12, 2018, 9:31 AM

#

Ok then (I populate terrain houses w/ about 20 simple objects each)
I will check and see if it's worth it

icy comet May 12, 2018, 11:22 AM

#

If I want to "cache" AI units, would it be enough to just hide their model and disable their AI and simulation or do I need to completly delete them for an effect?

balmy jasper May 12, 2018, 11:55 AM

#

Hide and disable has less effect. Delete for max effect

icy comet May 12, 2018, 11:58 AM

#

hmm... then I need to find a way to save them smh after deleting them...

oblique niche May 12, 2018, 12:15 PM

Encrypting is worthless in arma

Also go to collage major in encryption

Just don't do it

sinful rampart May 12, 2018, 1:08 PM

Seriously, if you going to write a crappy decryption function, at least make it 1% less crappy by having the server send the key or something rather than embed it (not that it would matter anyway)...

I think BMR insurgency can do that. And I think that's vanilla too

Yeah I rooting around the files for that rn, but I cant find the scripts that correlate to the intel system

also there was vanilla insurgency missions by DAP (i remember first one was in a3 alpha times and it was ported from a2), just google "insurgency by DAP Arma 3" @charred meteor

sinful rampart May 12, 2018, 1:50 PM

@lament juniper move all your serverside code into a serverside mod that no one can access. Then the mission can only run on your server.

can i put some scripts on server that mission need em to protect?

And it won't prevent anyone from copying your mission

lament juniper May 12, 2018, 7:32 PM

but noobs cant find the metod as i cant some times ago

#

@sinful rampart I wanna work on encrypting metod that use a mod on server and editors can use the functions of that mod so any player cant get the functions but the mission will be run on server as you say "move all your serverside code into a serverside mod that no one can access. Then the mission can only run on your server." i will do but with an other way for all missions

just tested couple missions with unlocked server exe... hory shet, difference is really noticeable...
the lowest fps was about this much > https://gyazo.com/3cbb7f986fbb8c947d5f5638245badc7
with less action > https://gyazo.com/43f30cddaade8c7856f5ac7b0a1455e9
and without action was some crazy numbers, everything feels smoother 👍

what is unlocked server exe ?

sinful rampart May 12, 2018, 8:56 PM

theoretically faster scheduled script execution and faster AI reactions

Hey guys does anyone have experience with Jboys MoveNearObjects script? https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/190743-release-jboy-move-collection-of-objects-script/ I am having trouble figuring out how to get it to move"randomly" on differnet locations.

to clarify I am having trouble figuring out to make the "array" work so that the object will move to one of the array thingys one mission start

charred meteor May 13, 2018, 7:55 AM

#

Or if anyone knows some good scripts that allow me to do the same thing. (Essentially I want to have 8 ammo caches spawn in different places each playthourgh, that players need to hunt down and destroy)

feral gate May 13, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

A workaround without that script thing:
Place and customise many ammo caches, see if the cache parts and defenders all delete if grouped in a layer and the layer is deleted, and place a trigger for each individual cache; the trigger needs to have a chance to spawn or not and to auto-activate (the activation deleting the cache's layer). Include a Task Module with the Cache to mark it's position and presence.

If you can group everything in a layer and they delete along with that layer, that'd probably work.

Hey, is there an easier way to create artifical unit group + size markers? (Like the Icon for infantry and then one of the size symbols from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troop ontop) ?
I know BIS used them during their tac-ops and tank dlc campaigns so I assume they have a function that they use to create those...
Maybe one of you knows that function and could tell me its name. 😃

grizzled meteor May 13, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

Can't remember exactly where. But it is used by the Orbat module. If you use the ingame config viewer somewhere there should be the various options, including size and unit type for orbat groups. Each of those configs should have a 'texture' something property which specifies a string. You should be able to pass that to setMarkerType directly.

Hey guys just wondering is there something I can place in an objects int line where it will spawn slightly above where it spawns. (I am using random start on markers in editor, but sometimes the object spawns in the floor of a house, just wondering if theres a way so when it spawns it will spawn a little higher and not be stuck in the floor.

if (isServer) then

   _posATL set [2, (_posATL select 2) + random 5 /* random here*/];
   this setPosATL  _pos;
};

@charred meteor

replace random 5 with the height you want (in meters)

okay sweet and this just goes in the init of the object

Okay so after a while of doing things, I came up with 5 different ways to do the thing but none are the thing I want it to be. Well that was confusing.

Anyhow, anyone here knows how to set it up, so that I can use a crate, as a way to get a loadout. So basically allow it in game, for a person to approach a crate, scroll, and simply select "Explosive Specialist" and then they get the full Explosive Specialist loadout? I'm trying to do this for my ALiVE Persistent Mission

lime gyro May 15, 2018, 11:28 AM

#

if you use ace, then use their arsenal, have this functionality included

#

Otherwise i guess it would just be to make an action that calls a loadout file. Have used that in passed but now we just use ACE arsenal, much more dynamic

signal coral May 15, 2018, 11:42 AM

#

I haven't used ACE arsenal much as ORBAT uses the VA and I use ORBAT to create factions

#

is it possible to move loadouts from the VA to ACE arsenal and how do I go about making these loadouts accessible by players

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:09 PM

#

is it possible to move loadouts from the VA to ACE arsenal
Yes:
https://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/arsenal.html#121-importing-loadouts-from-virtual-arsenal

and how do I go about making these loadouts accessible by players
Use default loadouts:
https://ace3mod.com/wiki/framework/arsenal-framework.html#4-default-loadouts

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:21 PM

#

Ah okay, so how do the players access these Default Loadouts whilst in the game?

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:22 PM

#

same as they do for their own loadouts, there's a different tab

#

there's 3 tabs for loadouts:
"My loadout" loadouts saved to your profile
"Default loadouts" loadouts saved in the mission
"Public loadouts" loadouts shared by others

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:25 PM

#

Okay so I would just put down an ACE arsenal object and make the loadouts that I want default loadouts

#

is there a way however to blacklist Public/My loadouts, and make them not able to select their own weapons/gear since we had a problem with this before

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:25 PM

#

no, you have to do it in 3DEN

#

as in not in the mission preview

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:26 PM

#

I know, I'm just bad at expressing myself

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:26 PM

#

if the arsenal is whitelisted / blacklisted you won't have that issue

#

you can't load items that aren't available in ACE Arsenal

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:27 PM

#

So kind of like selecting specific items to be available in the VA arsenal

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:28 PM

#

no, because you can load items that aren't available in VA arsenal

#

also you can't load partial loadouts

#

in ACE Arsenal you can

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:28 PM

#

We've managed to create a script that removes the export/import/load/save options out of the VA arsenal, that is the same thing I want to do for the ACE arsenal, if it makes sense. The only option I want available is for them to load in default loadouts that are determined in 3den

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:29 PM

#

importing is disabled in MP in ACE Arsenal, and it also should be the case in VA

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:30 PM

#

Well that scratches one thing of the list then, what about people loading up their own loadouts that they have saved in ACE arsenal

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:30 PM

#

well, they can't load items they don't have access to, should be fine

signal coral May 15, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

Suppose best way would be testing as usual, and figuring it out from there. I know I'm a bit of a pain in the ass with these questions as ACE arsenal does confuse me a bit sometimes.

The last thing I wanted to know was, you know how you can spawn an ammo box, and select which items specifically you want them to be able to have in the arsenal, for example only 2 rifles, a pistol and etc. And if you do that they can't have any other items.

I'm asking if there is a way to do the same thing for the ACE arsenal, because the only thing I am looking to offer them is magazines/medical supplies, and the ability to load in default loadouts

wooden dove May 15, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

you basically have to do it with classnames on this release, next release a 3DEN menu will be added.

Gonna ask again.. Got a problem with Zeus on my server. Server is currently running RHS, JSRS, Achilles and project OPFOR. Can spawn units from RHS just fine trough Zeus. But can´t find anything from OPFOR in Zeus.... All the content from project OPFOR can be accessed trough the arsenal. Anybody got an ide what the problem might be?

What zeus method are you using? I know there are blufor/opfor zeus logics. Never tried but maybe the blufor variant can only spawn blufor

Currently using the Achilles standard module

But that would not reallt make sense, becouse can spawn opfor units from RHS :/

Ment the mod project OPFOR 😃

Make sure you set the game master settings in the module to "all addons including unofficial ones". Also are you using Achilles or Ares?

#

I had a bug once in which bluefor was gone, it is an Achilles problem, close and open zeus interface again and it might be fixed.

Does anyone here know a good way or mod to have a persistent campaign?

So I used ALiVE, but I set it up so that the enemy has the numbers, and friendlys have like 30 men, and their objective is just to guard the base. Whilst Zeus takes care of the rest whilst playing, and there are troops on te ground that get their orders from Zeus.

So I tried using ALiVE persistence but it doesn't save FOBs that I create, neither does it sa ve Zeus units. Is the only way to do this to use ALiVE for Player Persistence, and Achillies Save/Load function for persistence of other units.

That's what I am doing now, but is there any way to do it in another way.

prime dome May 17, 2018, 10:08 AM

Technically speaking you could save objects and their positions to the server profile via profileNamespace

hi, does anyone know how i can setup an AI unit that will sit quietly in a location and radio report anything he sees (enemy units) to me ? .. just like any AI unit of your own squad does do.. "machine gunner, south west, 500 meters" etc.. ???

#

some sort of a spotter

#

but that is not a part of your AI squad

#

asking that, because i have encountered already in a number of mission similar situations.. of some AI unit reporting / pin pointing on the map enemy units he sees

#

i presume there is a way to do it using vanilla assets; but how?

neon raptor May 17, 2018, 5:17 PM

#

we have this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_spotter
but it's broken, that ^ function uses kbtell which is not working in mp, so maybe you can check how that was made and create something similar or better

#

@signal coral

signal coral May 17, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

hmmm thanks for pointing this out; i see it dates back to arma2 .. so probably it is unusable and broken as you say..

#

its weird though, it seems logical to have some 'spotter' AI unit you would place some where (with hold fire attribute) that would simply spot and report enemy units his sharp AI eyes sees..

#

and that would be triggered/actionned as a "support module" just like some CAS/ARTy stuff...

#

can't believe , over years of arma3, nobody at BIS ever thought to do that..

#

unfortunately im not a coder, if i had coding skills, i could scrip that out, but the time itll take me to learn and acquire arma spcified scripting skills.. ; but u see the idea

#

whats sad to see, all the necessary 'routines' & 'functions' are already present, its just a matter of "assembly" of those in a usable dynamic AI MODULE that would act as "support" class, simply reporting enemy units he sees and marking them on the map...

#

yea.. u would say, why not to use the Darter UAV , the Designator etc...

#

not the same thing

#

that 'ai spotter' i'm talking about could be an unarmed civilian within the enemy territory or else.. many possibility

I tend to disable PATH, SUPPRESSION, and COVER when placing AI that I want to fight back properly, seems to work pretty okay despite being clunky
setunitpos (or just do it by the UI in the editor) is also good to use if you want to make sure that the AI unit stays visible/able to fire out of a window etc.

i have big base for MP 200+ pvp mission

#

which option i should choose?

#

disable simulation or simple object?

timid plume May 22, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

Simple object and dynamic simulation

#

Simple objects for props

#

buildings and ladders just tag for dynamic simulation

#

simple object + show model is ok for all?

#

i dont need simulation if no doors or ladders, right?

timid plume May 22, 2018, 3:33 PM

#

Huh? If you turn a building or a ladder into a simple object, then actions like opening doors and climbing ladders will be disabled

#

anything that you need simulated to say take damage or use, tag for dynamic simulation

#

otherwise. Simple object

#

Dynamic Simulation is active by default, but it affects only objects that are flagged to use Dynamic Simulation, which are none, by default. Flagging such object for Dynamic Simulation can be done either manually by ticking a checkbox in object or group attributes directly in EDEN editor or by script during the mission runtime.

#

Simple Objects is feature that allows creation of objects with very limited simulation, low performance impact and network traffic. Simple objects are ideal for decorative objects in situations where fully simulated and destructible objects are not required or we can sacrifice full simulation and destruction of some objects to get some performance improvements.

I need to find an object in the game that can be destroyed by a blast from a demo charge, but won't be destroyed by simple gunfire. I have a script for a large explosion that I want to be triggered by the destroyed object, but I don't want it to be so delicate that a few rounds from a rifle will set the whole thing off. Something that could be found in a warehouse or an IED factory. Any ideas?

cinder holly May 22, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

handleDamage, if bullet or physX don't trigger, if blown by defined types of weapons, boom

#

(I think I would do it this way haha ^^)

valid lava May 22, 2018, 4:08 PM

I'll look into that, thanks

I think you'd have to script it by changing its position and rotation slowly

Since its not technically a boat,i think

Only sinkable carrier I've found is some old Russian one

ionic thorn May 23, 2018, 6:32 AM

There’s an old sinking script out there somewhere for the LHD that should work

Just nuke it and delete it.

aiming accuracy accept values lower than 0.1?

#

i don't find any difference between 0.1 or 0.01 or 0.001

#

in setskill

novel rune May 23, 2018, 9:24 PM

#

That's because the difference between 0.001 and 0.01 is only about a hundredth of between 0.1 and 1. Of course there is not much difference. What made you think it's a logarithmic scale?

neon raptor May 23, 2018, 9:24 PM

_unit setSkill ["aimingAccuracy", 0.0001]; 
hint str [_unit skillFinal "aimingAccuracy", _unit skill "aimingAccuracy"]; //--- [0.000100017,0.0001]

#

but during actual gameplay you will not able to see any difference with small steps... like 0.01-0.05 😀

If i use hide object module in local to erase lots of trees, would that cause problems in multiplayer?

if it only is local. The trees would still be there for other people

prime dome May 25, 2018, 7:28 AM

They apparently made it have multiplayer support a while ago, but I never tested it

cinder holly May 25, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

@silk jackal if you are about coop, I can tell you joint ops are often very welcome. e.g one group is counting on another, e.g infantry removes mines and RPGs, so a tank battalion can come in and destroy tanks and AA, then air support can blast the place 🙂

Why am I getting "create BLUFOR objective" "create BLUFOR respawn" as tasks when starting mission?

I've actually got a functioning respawn and an objective.

feral gate May 26, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Your mission is based on a standard Zeus mission but didn't remove those objective triggers - and editor-placed respawns and objectives don't trigger those?

hey guys, help real quick, I'm not sure if this is the right place for it

#

but can i turn off ACE Advanced Ballistics for my mission?

grizzled meteor May 26, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

in the Eden-Editor (Settings → Addon Options... shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + S).

stable aspen May 26, 2018, 1:07 PM

#

hmm i checked it

#

ACE Advanced Ballistics seem to be unchecked (box not filled in) but zeroing still seems to be using the ACE system

grizzled meteor May 26, 2018, 1:09 PM

#

Advanced ballistics just give, well advanced ballistics, does not change the scoping.

stable aspen May 26, 2018, 1:10 PM

#

Oh I see, my bad

#

what i'm trying to disable is the ace scoping system

#

and use the regular vanilla zeroing system again

Heya folks. Primarily scripter here, looking to make mods and templates to help speed up mission creation.

What is the most time consuming part of making a mission, in your opinions?

neon raptor May 26, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

probably making a mission

signal coral May 26, 2018, 9:26 PM

NotLikeThis

neon raptor May 26, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

well... you can stuck on something simple for really long time and that something is completely random 😀

signal coral May 26, 2018, 9:31 PM

#

True that. I was thinking of making some auto-task modules. Say, you place a S&D task in the editor, then in the editor it generates a squad, garrisons them in a nearby building, then places a task module down with a destructible intel object.

Click down and bam, mission.

neon raptor May 26, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

maybe you can try to create something for the object compositions "grab/set/save data" and then "create/spawn it" system... 🤔

#

for the tasks modules... idk never tried them

prime dome May 26, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

take a look at the F3 and TMF mission making frameworks

#

they should give you good ideas as to what's already out there

Hoping it might be a simple typo

sinful rampart May 28, 2018, 12:35 PM

I don't know if more info is needed your actual script would be good

cinder holly May 28, 2018, 12:37 PM

@opal hound what is _chars, what is _ia?

sinful rampart May 28, 2018, 12:38 PM

aaand the full error. There is mooost likely more than Error Generic error in expression

unfortunately, I am simply trying to port a mission and now this error. I have "0" scripting knowledge😩

cinder holly May 28, 2018, 12:39 PM

oh then copy-paste it in pastebin or elsewhere and share the link with us

-maxvram Startparameter is useless and hurts more than it helps

#

Great. A script without reference to which file it belongs

#

I'd say look through all script files in the mission to find the if (isClass _item) then

opal hound May 28, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

no need to be a jerk! Look at my previous post where I said I have no scripting knowledge

sinful rampart May 28, 2018, 12:59 PM

What?

Who is a jerk here? Did I miss any deleted messages?

opal hound May 28, 2018, 1:01 PM

why would you say " Great. A script without reference.......

Don't you think that is a bit sarcastic?

No...

I was talking to myself.. That "Great" was ironic...

And it's not your fault.

I thought you were saying I needed to post more info

#

so your saying the .rpt is flimsy?

sinful rampart May 28, 2018, 1:07 PM

I'm saying the missiong or mod that causes that error is not well made

#

And yeah I need more Info. I'd like to see the script file that is causing that error. But the RPT is not telling us which script file it is.

If you don't say what you need. No one knows if he could help you. Thus noone will help you.

Hello gentlemen. I have a question about ACE 's telescopic ladder. I would like to place it as an object pre-placed. I look for functions in ACE GitHub, but I don't know where should I look for.
tl;dr I would have the tactical ladder in game near a house, without player interactions.
