Is there a way I can call more than 9 artillery shells at once? I need a fire for effect kind of shelling.

feral gate Dec 28, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

9 Shells is pretty damn fire for effect

#

If you're willing to pre-set a target position and a trigger in the editor though, the Fire Mission waypoint should do well for small area saturation.

cinder holly Dec 28, 2018, 12:03 PM

@amber viper you could script a light source, but it won't be a directional one

Hey guys, newbie here, 3d artist* just a quick question, is there a way in arma 3 to say create two squads and have the squad leaders grouped to the player? But their soldiers being dependent on the sls?

In this scenario, player could give an order to get in into a truck or something to sl1 and his squad would follow their squad leader.. ?
Thanks a lot.

(dont really know which thread to ask this question in as I dont think its a script query) sorry :)

Hey lads, not sure if this is the right place to ask that:

I'm making scenarios for my community. Sometimes, incidents such as friendly fire, killing civilians and POWs happen with no witnesses around, not exactly intentional at all times, but well. It's good to keep a good track of it.
I looked for different measures, but I don't want to exactly react instantly to such things by penalizing, but I'd like to monitor it for later debriefing.
Is there anything that would allow me to monitor such incidents (hopefully realtime, i.e a small hint for me only), but in a way that only me or/and another set player can see it?

tawny holly Dec 30, 2018, 8:39 PM

#

@narrow edge

civ_pow addEventHandler["Killed",
{
    params["_civ","_killer"];
    diag_log format["Player %1 killed civilian %2",name _killer, name _civ];
}];

#

civ_pow being your civilian

#

if you want it to be on all civilians you can do:

{
    _x addEventHandler["Killed",
    {
        params["_civ","_killer"];
        diag_log format["Player %1 killed civilian %2",name _killer,name _civ];
    }];
} forEach (allUnits select {(side _x) == civilian};

#

although I don't think that would be the most performant

narrow edge Dec 30, 2018, 8:42 PM

#

Thanks lad, I'll try to implement it soon to test it out

tawny holly Dec 30, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

yeah, that'll work assuming the unit is created on the server, if it's on a HC the the log should show on the HC's RPT

#

diag_log will log text to the RPT

#

See : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files , to find this. For your server it should be within the same directory as your set profile

cinder holly Jan 2, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Regarding a mission section; is it "acceptable" to title "part 1", "part 2" or way better to say "Act 1", "Act 2" ?

#

(big white text on a black background, of course)

feral bolt Jan 2, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

Not sure it really matters tbh

#

but personally, if you're doing something that involves building rapport between the player and the characters in your mission

#

I would say Act 1/2/3

#

But if it's just a straightforward mission I would just say part or section

cinder holly Jan 2, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

it's the same mission, part 1 would be afternoon, part 2 would be night. ACT seemed a bit "too much", maybe too theatrical, but PART would seem maybe too "piece by piece", I don't know

feral bolt Jan 2, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

Maybe add a title to the act/part

#

Part 1: Insertion
Part 2: Infiltrate/Assault
Part 3: Get the hell out of dodge

cinder holly Jan 2, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

yes, that is planned (Part 1: Afternoon, Part 2: Night)

Hey, im trying to make a mission for my group, and im in eden editor and im trying to figure out how to put a respawn on the USS Liberty (destoryer) and it just makes people fall through it and spawn at the bottom of the ocean, any fixes?

tough moon Jan 3, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

Try making the position float a little above the ship.
If that doesn't work, you can get the position of the player while standing on the ship getPos player then a trigger that is in the area and on the respawn event handler, check if they're in the trigger area, if so, set the pos to the position you grabbed player setPos [x, y, z];

If I set waypoints for the playable characters in a scenario I'm making, these will simply appear on the players' HUDs, right? If any characters are being controlled by AI, they will still be bound by commands from their group leader, and not go off trying to fulfil waypoints on their own, correct?

quartz yoke Jan 4, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

@copper siren If the leader of the group which has a waypoint is an AI, he will try to follow waypoints. Remember that you assign waypoints to groups, not to individual characters. However a group might have only one unit.

vernal schooner Jan 5, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

how do I let AI populate structures from compositions?

#

like an FOB

feral gate Jan 5, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

The Community Base Addons mod gives you a Garrison waypoint that you could use to randomise their placements inside buildings.

vernal schooner Jan 5, 2019, 2:23 AM

#

can I put it near buildings

#

or do I have to put in in the building

#

what if I wanna garrison a whole FOB

feral gate Jan 5, 2019, 2:24 AM

#

Putting it as close as possible to the building is probably best. For the latter, you can just make lots of little groups of AI for lots of garrison waypoints.

vernal schooner Jan 5, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

how do I make

locations

#

like

a base location

and it will show on map if possible

feral gate Jan 5, 2019, 2:26 AM

If you just want to stick a point on the map and say 'There's a base here', the markers list (F6?) will do fine.

vernal schooner Jan 5, 2019, 2:27 AM

#

so I cant do it like the cities or towns?

#

the ellipse that is shaded

feral gate Jan 5, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

That's also part of the Markers tab, but you have to click the Areas button on the top of it to find them.

#

@vernal schooner The Eden Editor actually has a little built in tutorial, and you get an achievement for running through it. You can find it in the help tab.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have a good way to have Ace and utilize the in-game medical system? Previously, I've deleted the medical pbos in the Ace mod folder which works but requires every person to do it, also have issues once it updates. My understanding is that so long as Ace is enabled, you will still bleed and feel pain resulting in the screen effects. My intent is to use the in-game medical and revive system while maintaining the rest of Ace's functionality, without having to remove the medical files. Sorry for the long-winded question, just felt like I should ask if any other mission makers have run into this predicament.

hey do you guys know of any mp mission frameworks that might be able to do the following;

whitelist and black list for arsenel
repawn configured
sync zues curator to server (switching zues's)
group menu
view distance menu
group setting menu (name tags on/off, ranks on/off, map markers for friendles on/off)

essentially it would be for a operation server where i can let certain people get into a zues slot and create mission for players, mission would need an arsenal that we can determine whats inside and a group menu and view distance menu
my main concern is the Zeus whitelist and curator module syncing

spare coral Jan 9, 2019, 2:27 AM

Don't give them fix tools or set the variable for isEngineer to 0 so they cannot fix it if you set your CBA Settings right

Well that would be one approach I guess. But not very helpful as They Will still need to fix their own vehicles etc.

I've looked around for the best place to ask this question but seems like it doesnt really fit into any of the channel descriptions.

I'm looking to run ACE with RHS and VSM. Need some gear out of VSM but vehicles and OPFOR out of RHS. The part i'm not certain on is: what ace/compat configuration should I be running for this? Should I have ace + a compat for each RHS and VSM? The RHS compat mod says you don't need to load ace along with it, but the VSM still needs ACE. Any thoughts? It works in my current config which is standard ace mod + RHS compat + VSM compat, just curious if there is a better/cleaner way to be doing this.

Alright, I set up an arma server file with all the required files, then to edit the mission file, I moved it into my mission file in my documents. And now I am trying to figure out how to remove trees, and they say I need to add code into my init.sqf. But, which one do I use? Video I am using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCowVgQMlv8

Why don't you just use hide/edit terrain object in Eden

regal turtle Jan 10, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Explain pls

opal citrus Jan 10, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

In Eden editor there is a thing called hide/edit that you can place and change the radius to clear a whole area if you want. Just type edit in the module tab thing and you will see it

Hi all. Having an issue with my dedicated server. Currently, players cannot hear other player's weapon sound effects. They can hear the impacts but not the weapon firing. Further, if I spawn in a unit and remote control via Zeus, those weapon firing sounds are able to be heard. No sound mods are being used by any players and the mod lists for each player are identical.

cinder holly Jan 12, 2019, 5:13 AM

@signal coral head over to #arma3_troubleshooting , please. test without any mod and let us know there

Does anyone here have any experience with the post-processing effects module? I am getting a strange effect when using the 'Black and White" template on Ruha. When in-game, everything has a distinctly yellowish hue, almost Sepia-like; but if I switch to the Camera, I get the kind of neutral Black and White that I was expecting. Any ideas?

are there vanilla big radios? or only those walkie talkie sized?

tropic sphinx Jan 15, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

So I Zeus a lot, but had relied on someone’s templates. They have since left our Milsim group and was curious as to how you go about setting up a missions slots. It was a huge mess of modules and I never got a chance to decode it. I appreciate any responses.

tropic sphinx Jan 15, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

@unique needle if you want good radios I’d use RHS with TFAR

unique needle Jan 15, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

Nah for my mod some feature is dependend on a long range radio - in combination with ACRE2 or TFAR that will work but I want players which do not use those mods to have access to the feature as well

#

therefore I am looking for a CfgClass that reflects all common long range radios - if such thing exists

feral gate Jan 16, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

@tropic sphinx Feel free to poke through Dslyexci's TTP3, notably Section 3: 'The Company'. From fireteam and up it's a great source on basic ArmA force composition.

#

@unique needle Vanilla has no short-range radio, and so doesn't bother defining a 'long range' radio. Vanilla considers the channel-chat to be radio, and that has infinite range.

#

ACRE2 uses Items as radios, and you can fit them inside backpacks, whereas to my knowledge TFAR uses Backpack-form radios - where the backpack is the radio.

#

It's going to be a pain and you should poke questions about it in #arma3_scripting rather than here.

#

*oh, you mean actually setting up the characters to slot @tropic sphinx?

#

If so, and you can't figure out the mess of modules that you apparently use for that, going back to basics and setting up specific units as playable in the editor ought to do.

tropic sphinx Jan 16, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

@feral gate just saw this. Thanks. I’ll see if they have any tips in scripting. It may be a mix of both that I need.

Hey guys im using the HETMAN mod and im getting an error RYDHQinit.sqf not found....how do i solve this? I hot the HETMEN mod off of steam

sinful rampart Jan 17, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

@unique needle Vanilla afaik only has one radio. ItemRadio. Which does nothing in TFAR nor ACRE. But I think both mods auto-replace it with a short range radio.

#

If you are making a mod you'd have to add config entries to a backpack to get it to work with TFAR.
For ACRE you need to add a "long range radio" item to the backpack

unique needle Jan 17, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

@sinful rampart OK I see - so there is no common abstraction for a "long range radio", got it.

oblique niche Jan 17, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

acre does not really differentiate if the radio is a long range radio or not. it simulates frequency and antenna strength of the radio. The so called long ranged radios just have higher output und lower frequencies basically

#

You can boost a 343 radio so much that you cna talk over whole stratis if you want to with scripts etc.

feral gate Jan 17, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

lots of relevant ACRE info: http://acre2.idi-systems.com/

silver girder Jan 17, 2019, 11:06 AM

never checked but can long range capture short ones if they have the same frequency?

With ACRE, yes.

Is there amything I can do in order to make vehicles destructible UNTIL CERTAIN level? I. E: vehicle fully unusable, but not in completely destroyed state? (can't enter, can't access inventory)

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

Replace vehicle with simple object

#

Or you can lock it and disable open inventory for player trying to use it

narrow edge Jan 17, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

I mean, the thing is I want the vehicle to not become completely DESTROYED if it gets under heavy fire. I just want it to be pretty much unusable, but that the inventory is still accessible and that it doesn't explode killing everyone inside

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

I’m confused, you don’t want inventory accessible but you want it still accessible? Well maybe someone can help you with that, I’m not good on contradictions.

cinder holly Jan 17, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

@signal coral he wants it "not destroyed", destroyed a.k.a "can't enter, can't access inventory"

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

The vehicle damaged up to critical level which makes it explode is still drivable unless you shoot the tyres or set fuel to 0

#

So this would involve wizardry with HandleDamage EH.

#

Or you can let it explode but before that copy inventory into separate container and place this container inside the wreck

cinder holly Jan 17, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

nooo
(I think) he wants the vehicle being able to be damaged, but set a damage ceiling so it doesn't explode and remains accessible

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

So basically vehicle disable

cinder holly Jan 17, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

have a working vehicle, and with event handlers that it takes damage up to a certain point, without explosion yep

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

signal coral Jan 17, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Yes, destroyed fuel tank leads to leakage while leaving vehicle operational. The explosion is caused by hullDamageCauseExplosion = 1;

#

while {true} do

{

} foreach (vehicles select {(_x getHitPointDamage "hitFuel") > 0.5});
};

#

self sealing fuel tank script

#

fixes the fuel tanks just enough so they don't drain to empty

cinder holly Jan 18, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

wouldn't "Hit" event handler be more appropriate @scenic shard ?

scenic shard Jan 18, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

perhaps. 😃 I prefer to run an occasional check rather than an eh

#

old habits lol

#

tbh, 10 seconds is probably overkill, 30 would be better

#

my players got very annoyed by finding vehicles that were damaged always empty of fuel, while I was happy to load the players with the logistics tasks of refueling as well as repairing,

#

they would treat bobcats as the most valuable vec in the game

#

AND, they said that IRL, the hunter and the prowler both have self sealing fuel tanks,

#

so I was sort of left with no choice.. had to make self sealing fuel tanks

hey lads, any tips on how to change dead ai pose after setting setdamage=1? I tried to raise them to 30 meters up high and let the physics do the job, but they still drop on stomach with finger "on the trigger" pose

#

also , looking for solution with indoor dead ai

cinder holly Jan 20, 2019, 9:26 PM

@weak yew you can rotate them in 3D, works quite well

@weak yew you can switchMove on dead AI

Dead AI used to be stiff but I tested now and it does ragdoll after switchMove

#

Thanks , I'll try both ways again. Rotation seems don't work for me, which is strange. Maybe editor glitch-stuck or something. any switchMove and then setDamage should do the job?

#

@signal coral you got it right :3

@weak yew use the health slider in 3den instead of setDamage 1, iirc setDamage "forces" a default position of lying down with rifle in hands on mission start.
also the orientation works when the unit is a bit above the ground (at least 50cm - 1m)

#

(a.k.a 1.5ft - 3.3ft)

weak yew Jan 20, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Ok. I will try it out. Thank you. Didn't know about the forced pancake pose.

cinder holly Jan 20, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

it's something back from OFP times IIRC. in the campaign there was a cinematic about people dead on the battlefield and… only their direction changed, the pose was the same for all of them

weak yew Jan 20, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

is it possible , if I init the ai with

"removeAllWeapons this;  removeAllItems this;  removeAllAssignedItems this;  removeUniform this;  removeVest this;  removeBackpack this;  removeHeadgear this;  removeGoggles this;    comment "Add containers";  this forceAddUniform "rhs_uniform_FROG01_m81";  this addItemToUniform "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag";  this addVest "V_TacVest_camo";  this addItemToVest "rhsusf_mag_7x45acp_MHP";  this addBackpack "B_Kitbag_rgr";  this addHeadgear "rhsusf_mich_bare_norotos_headset";  this addGoggles "mcu2p2_grey";    comment "Add weapons";  this addWeapon "rhs_weap_m4_grip2";  this addPrimaryWeaponItem "rhsusf_acc_rotex5_grey";  this addPrimaryWeaponItem "rhsusf_acc_eotech_552";    comment "Add items";  this linkItem "ItemMap";  this linkItem "ItemCompass";  this linkItem "ItemWatch";  this linkItem "ItemRadio";  this linkItem "ItemGPS";  " ```

it somehow takes too much time and effects the ragdoll init when the mission starts ?

I have the ai rotated , 30m in air , health slider on 0% and they still loaded as pancakes when I start scenario in eden ...

@boreal lichen you cannot increase the cap but you can recycle the used groups. I am sensing XY problem here, what are you doing that you need more than 288 groups (per side as well)?

@signal coral I'll setup some script solutions based on the info provided, but it wasn't me hitting the issue. Zeus for our last operation apparently hit it - not sure how yet, I'm going to review their stream and see if I can find cause. 288 groups should obviously be fine.

But they're also not a new zeus so maybe some weird server issue or glitch somehow... It's not been an issue before but I was tasked with finding a solution lol

@lament juniper , meh way too many AI to change to a new loadout config, at the moment.

All of the recommended ways are working for AI ragdoll, in a newly created missions, but not in my old custom one. At the moment I'm checking the possibility of 3-rd party revival script that have a lot of switchMove-s , so most probably its the script who drop dead AI in pancake pose.

I want to create missions where my friends are in Russian Federation army and they have a premade loadout that i will make. i also want to make ACE working on it because it's the most important mod for us.

Can you guys please give me some links to tutorials or advices on how to do that type of scenario for a map like chernarus? Because most of tutorials are just for standard NATO , CSAT and AAF scenarios without ace or anything

You can just place down the correct units and change the loadout to your liking. ACE settings are handled through CBA https://ace3mod.com/2017/12/20/cba-settings.html

yes. Their only way to die is to click respawn when nobody in the area can't help them

i know how to do it in vanilla but i don't know how it works with ACE

so go to ace medical settings, scroll down and tick prevent instant death ad enable revive

does mods like vcom affect performance noticeably with higher bot count? What are good way's to monitor performance? i'm trying to make something like gta style missions (designed for lowplayer coop servers)in arma utilising epoch (i'm gonna strip down every feature that i don't need to improve performance) and for my concept i would use about 30 npc's that wouldn't need more than basic walk logic, and probably up to 50 combat ai at a time for missions (i figured if that's to much i'll limit the number of active missions, and make missions actually spawn ai only when you accept the mission or something, again, performance reasons) and what i figured for the rest of the ai limit i would try to make pedestrians( i saw there is pedestrian module in tac ops, but i don't know can i use it on map and not require players to have it, if it wouldn't work i guess i could script the base logic of them). so my questions are 1) does "advanced ai behaviour" mods slow down the game much more than standard ai(i guess it depends on the scale of mod) 2) how can i monitor the performance of server (like should i just make several missions with different ai and just wait for the server to desync and log that?) 3) can i use dlc modules (will they work for people without dlc) 4) same question but for objects. thanks

Hey guys, is there any known issue with the "Hide Terrain Objects" Module? I hid some buildings to prepare a base where players spawn but vehicles placed in locations where buildings "used to be" explode on mission load.

rocky carbon Jan 26, 2019, 10:54 AM

Im pretty sure the hiding just hides them visually

#

so the geometry still stays and if you place things in it they will collide with the invisible object and be destroyed

barren dove Jan 26, 2019, 10:55 AM

not quite... it removes collision and all that stuff but it would spawn in vehicles before running the module to hide the buildings.

I want to simulate AI/player discovering different locations (bases, outposts, roadblocks). Any idea how I can do that?
From player's point of view it should be like this: he looks into the direction of the outpost, my script detects that and I can do other stuff (adding this outpost to database and so on).
I thought, maybe I can put 1...3 dummy objects at some height above this place, then use side knowsabout with these object. Maybe there is a better solution?

#

Maybe I can do this just by checking if enemy side knows about any of the units attached to this location... should be doable if I don't poll it too often. Anyway, ideas are appreciated.

In the mission I'm making, I'm trying to get a trigger to trigger another trigger. As far as I could find, I should use 'triggerActivated VariableName', eg triggerActivated trg1, in the On Activation portion of the trigger.
However, whenever I try to click 'OK', a warning stating "On Activation: Type Bool, expected Nothing" appears, and won't let me confirm the trigger until I remove the triggerActivated. My question is, what does the warning mean, and how should I be triggering a trigger with a trigger?

cursive forge Jan 28, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

@brittle laurel The code must return Nothing. Assign the expression to a variable, or a number which will not assign at all but fulfill the requirement = returns Nothing. 0 = triggerActivated trg1

#

Howevere that makes no sense in OnActivation

#

That should be in the condition of another trigger

#

eg. this && triggerActivated trg1

#

Instead of triggerActivated you can also assign a bool in the on activation of the first, and then check that bool in the second

brittle laurel Jan 28, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

Thank you! I'll try those

cursive forge Jan 28, 2019, 9:09 PM

For example if the first trigger checks for a building or target to be destroyed, in its OnActivation you could do TargetDestroyed = true then in the other trigger this && TargetDestroyed

place the first waypoint close to the group and the next one on your target location, sync the first one to the trigger, now the soldiers will move 1-2 to the first waypoint and will wait until the trigger condition is true and move to the next one

hey folks, im putting together a mission using the ZEI mod to autopopulate buildings with furniture, equipment etc. to add a bit more immersion. If i were to fill up a town full of buildings with stuff in the editor, is this going to cause huge lag issues for players once the mission starts due to all the new assets being added to the map?

#

or does that all load in when they are downloading the mission file so performance wont suffer once they are in game?

#

i dont want to sacrifice playability for immersion

signal coral Jan 30, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

Yes the game has to sync and simulate every object you add, so the more objects you add the worse it is for performance. This is why people choose to dynamically populate buildings so that it looks like every building has stuff when in fact only nearest building has it

Hey, bit of a strange question, is there a way to force an object to render at further distances than normal via it's ini field? Example being building a mountain in the editor and wishing for it to pop in and look like the terrain at very long distances.

feral gate Feb 2, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

That's object view distance.

#

It's probably not a good idea to force it unless you're working on an otherwise almost completely empty terrain, or your mission is singleplayer. MP client capabilities vary wildly.

wise frost Feb 2, 2019, 7:21 AM

#

I'll give it an attempt and test it with a few buddies to see if it seriously impacts them. I just need the handful of objects to render even if it's outside their normal view range so this artificial mountain doesn't just 'pop in'

Check out https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setViewDistance, and it's see also: setObjectViewDistance

why AI not shooting at enemy? a little bit foggy and night in a mission but still in script:

bots are start looking at enemy but didn't shoot even with ```doTarget``` and ```doFire```
they start attacking  when someone from enemy start firing, or getting closer. Is it because of night? there is a way how to avoid blind?

I noticed something interesting with my scenario

-spawning inside a structure is causing 'rubber-banding' issues
-spawning OUTSIDE this structure allows for normal play

Any idea?

#

ok, scratch that

new development

#

as of now, spawning inside a structure while controlling a squad preset to Stand Default A3 animation is causing rubber-banding issues...

#

im experimenting now to make sure that i can articulate this properly...

#

also...AI don't open doors? XD

#

ok, correction - AI arent opening the doors to my building - theyre just passing through them XD

#

lucky enough i can set the doors to remain open and still complete the effect

#

Ok, so...as of now...starting your mission while controlling a soldier or squad set to Stand (Default A3 Animation) is causing rubber-banding issues...regardless of where he starts

#

I can counteract this by setting the squad's Behavior to "Safe" and Special States to "Stay On Position" to prevent them from moving for the moment

so my group uses ACE, but I'm trying to make this mission vanilla compatible. Spectator mode seems to work normally for us when using ACE, but in vanilla (at least testing against AI), it just ends the mission on death

["Initialize", [player, [], true]] call BIS_fnc_EGSpectator; I'm guessing that's the ticket

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

So I stripped everything but my initial spawning script out on a new mission to test if that would work on the server, and of course it does not, but here it is. Interesting thing is the AI are being moved where they should be and the markers are doing what they should, it's just players (or at least me) who aren't being teleported to the zone.

//create array of all zone markers
zoneMarkers = [];
{    
    if(_x select [0, 6] == "mrkAct") then {
        zoneMarkers append [_x];
    };
     _x setMarkerAlpha 0;
} foreach allMapMarkers;

//choose random marker from array, make it visible
playzonemarker = selectRandom zoneMarkers;
playzonemarker setMarkerAlpha 1;
startingpos = getMarkerPos playzonemarker;
zonesize = getMarkerSize playzonemarker; //returns [100,200]

boundaryTrigger setPos startingpos;

//move respawn points to opposing sides of battle zone
_bluespawn = startingpos getpos [zonesize select 0, random 360];
_dir = [_bluespawn, startingpos] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;
_dist = (zonesize select 0) * (2);
_redspawn = _bluespawn getPos [(_dist) - (10), _dir];

//move respawn points to opposing sides of battle zone
_bluespawn = startingpos getpos [zonesize select 0, random 360];
_dir = [_bluespawn, startingpos] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;
_dist = (zonesize select 0) * (2);
_redspawn = _bluespawn getPos [(_dist) - (10), _dir];

//move intial players spawns to same location
_emptyposwest = _bluespawn findEmptyPosition [0,20,"Man"];
_emptyposeast = _redspawn findEmptyPosition [0,20,"Man"];
{
    switch side group _x do {
    case west: {
        _x setPos _emptyposwest;
    };
    case east: {
        _x setPos _emptyposeast;
    };
};
_rotation = [_x, startingpos] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;
_x setDir (getDir _x)+_rotation;
} forEach allUnits;```

I'm looking at a thread https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/350543389014952275/ but I'm a little confused about the Init. I would want the spawn position to be decided in initServer right? And then use that position in Init? Do I need to add something like "waituntil {!isNull player};" in Init or is that redundant?

#

Shit, may have found the issue:

 _x setPos _emptyposwest

I was setting the positions as local variables and trying to reference them from the Init.

#

Nevermind, that still didn't fix it

assuming those logs dont help at all u can log ur variables as well to see if anything is undefined

#

I'm seeing some undefined variables right in the log actually

If a variable is set in in initServer, is it automatically availabe to init.sqf?

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

Because what I'm seeing is all the stuff in init that uses variables from initServer, according to the log, are undefined

barren dove Feb 4, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

on the server it has a chance of being available, because its a scheduled script so init.sqf may overtake it/get to using the var before it is set. it wouldnt be available at all for players because its a global var for the server, not publicvar

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 5:45 AM

so I should define all my player teleporting variables to public variables like sqf publicVariable "CTFscoreOne";

can you add them all to the same line like ```sqf
publicVariable "var1","var2","var3";

use public variable after u set the variable. in the client init you should wait until the variable exists before using it

#

Can an outside script change a publicVariable though?

barren dove Feb 4, 2019, 6:12 AM

yes. any script can change a public variable for the client it is changed on, and they can broadcast that change if desired.

it doesnt matter where you set these variables or run that location script. the only thing that matters is it happens in the right order.

publicVariable doesn't make a variable synchronize. It only broadcasts the current value of the variable at the time of the call, and stores that value to send to players who join.
Every time you change the value, you need to call publicVariable again to broadcast the new value to other players

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

Ok that helps a ton, but I'm only setting each one once

#

The issue is the other scripts not being able to read it apparently

cursive forge Feb 4, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

You need to call it after you set the variable

#

And make sure that others wait for it to be set

#

If you do it immediately on init, then the clients will have already read it ,before the server has sent it

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 6:51 AM

@signal coral it cannot be throwing undefined var on those vars because wait until won’t finish until they are all not nil. You must be executing your scripts regardless of the wait

#

I guess man, I have no idea

#

Me too

#

is it possible my report file is holding old data? It says variables are undefined in "init" but I only have initServer and initPlayerLocal

#

wait a fuckin second

#

I just deleted my rpt file that kept showing old info

#

the new one shows no undefined variables

#

which means for probably the last two hours, everything was (theoretically) working, but the report was wrong

#

Arma creates new rpt each restart otherwise it appends to the existing. Now you know everything

#

haha yup goddamn is that frustrating though

I'm using BIS_fnc_EGSpectator for spectator mode, but it doesn't allow night vision or have any of the player tracking options on it. How do I enable those?

hey there, fellows mission makers ! I'm trying to get customs loadouts on my mission but seems that my vest and uniform are too small to get all the stuff i want in. Is there a way to force it in ?
Thanks !

@low scaffold none I know, sorry!

low scaffold Feb 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

ouch thanks anyway

#

ain't it possible to setCapacity or something ?

mossy lava Feb 4, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

Making a Vest of Holding is a config thing =p

#

Is there a way to program an objective where you have to speak to an officer?

mossy lava Feb 4, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

Like by having a player enter a small trigger area in front of the npc?

wooden garnet Feb 4, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

I guess that would work

raven shard Feb 4, 2019, 6:47 PM

Holdaction script?

signal coral Feb 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I use triggers where an HVT surrenders if the players get close to him all the time

#

I'm using BIS_fnc_EGSpectator for spectator mode, but it doesn't allow night vision or have any of the player tracking options on it. How do I enable those? It's weird because when you die it momentarily flicks the specator HUD on and off

How can i run missions in .pbo files ? For example: SPK\Missions\Exile.Altis = Missions.pbo

#

Can I make the missions foldere work inside the any .pbo ?

#

I don't want to use the mpmissions folder located in the root arma 3 server directory

#

possible ?

See apex mission collection section https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

well that was weird

wooden garnet Feb 5, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

a new OPFOR squad, and a separate officer, i placed on my map...were causing framerate and performance issues at player spawn points...

#

these new AI for whatever reason were trying to 'group to' entities which werent even on the map...or were extending their group to lines off map

#

....fuckin ARMA XD

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

is there no "SEEK AND DESTROY" waypoint type you can assign via setWaypointType?

cursive forge Feb 5, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

You can assign any waypoint type

#

_wp setWaypointType "SAD"

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

I couldn't find wat SAD was called, thnaks

wooden garnet Feb 5, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

ive seen it

#

its in the same menu that you can select waypoint type

#

also, is there a way to arrange tasks in the map view when theyre stacked top to bottom? mine are out of order

Thanks @signal coral But i have a problem.. I want to package the Exile.Chernarus misson file by Obfuscated. But I Get Error. ```XM8 Extra apps, the Exile way of doing it

Here is an example app layout:
class XM8_App01_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
textureNoShortcut = ""; // Path to picture. This can be via mission file or client side PBO
text = ""; // The name of the app to be display on the button
onButtonClick = ""; // The code to fire when the app is clicked
resource = ""; // The name of the resource to load for the app, leave as an empty string if you just want to run code without a GUI, like BOOM or spawning a bike
};
*/

class XM8_App01_Button: RscExileXM8AppButton1x1
{
inherit class 'RscExileXM8AppButton1x1' does not exist
\Exile.Chernarus\config.cpp has errors
In File \Exile.Chernarus\config.cpp: circa Line 7350 rap: missing inheritence class(es)
"Exile.pbo not produced due to error(s)"

sinful rampart Feb 5, 2019, 10:43 AM

#

You are not supposed to have a config.cpp in a mission pbo

#

you are doing something VERY wrong here

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 10:43 AM

#

I don’t even understand what this wall of text mean so no idea how to solve it

nimble badge Feb 5, 2019, 10:48 AM

#

understand bud. Thank you. @signal coral

#

There is a config file in the original Exile MOD missions. @sinful rampart

#

can I call this config file elsewhere?

sinful rampart Feb 5, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

I have no idea. But i know Exile is doing a bunch of stupid nonsense. You're better off at asking on a Exile forum about that

i understand bud. Thank you 😃 @sinful rampart

undone river Feb 5, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

is it possible to include a addon with a mission file, so when they join the server they will download the mod with the mission file?

sinful rampart Feb 5, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

no

undone river Feb 5, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

is there any planned support for anything like that?

sinful rampart Feb 5, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

no

undone river Feb 5, 2019, 11:07 AM

alright

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 11:27 AM

This is what the launcher is supposed to be for, or at least this was the idea

wooden garnet Feb 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

I know that some weapons can destroy existing buildings... Can you destroy walls that preexist on maps?

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

you can

#

if the walls are destructible

wooden garnet Feb 5, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

How can you tell?

#

Aside from shooting it XD

cinder holly Feb 5, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

simulationEnabled I guess

signal coral Feb 5, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

probably need to look in config

wooden garnet Feb 5, 2019, 3:06 PM

Which menu?

Hey y'all, I don't suppose anyone has a version of the normal altis full island warlords mission that has a Zeus slot and/or the debug console enabled? Been trying to finagle something to work for days now but I don't know shit so I've just been editing what looks like the right thing and it's not been going very well.

anyone got ACE 3 preset I can use for an Antistasi server?
not sure if this is the right channel to ask in....

#

tag me or PM if you got an answer

#

doesn't have to be anything special, just as long as its smooth and playable

#

or if you know where I can find presets I might... have one

I have recently began to redo an old Hearts and Minds mission I used to make years ago. I ended up forgetting to how set an area that AI could not spawn in. Any suggestions?
All I think I need is a little line of code to put in an ellipse around the base
@ me if you can figure it out

wooden garnet Feb 6, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

excellent. my walls can be destroyed 😄

#

i have an odd error at the beginning of my scenario and i think its due to some syntax i cant find

#

'_this setFeatureType |#|parseNumber (_value)'
Error parsenumber: Type Number, expected Bool,String

#

I'm pretty sure...some entity on the map somewhere has an error in its init field

#

found it XD

#

....it was the American flag i placed on the map XD wow...

#

so, question - is there a way to arrange tasks as displayed in the journal in order, from top to bottom?

#

or is it by the order in which they are created?

signal coral Feb 6, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

Is there a reason this doesn't actually end the mission on our dedicated server, but instead puts everyone in a some sort of temporal loop where shooting people doesn't kill them and you can't actually interact with anything?

if (leloup_escaped && militiacmdr_dead) then {
["End6",true,15] call BIS_fnc_endMission};

#

Nevermind, didn't realize there was BIS_fnc_endMissionServer
