So basically

#

Theres no way to mark a scenario as completed?

#

At least for now

cinder holly
#

not for now, correct

sterile cape
#

Welp ait

#

Thanks for the help

#

Appreciated

lusty summit
#

okay so, i want to run a few commands on every player at once

#

howabouts would i go do that

hexed loom
#

@red tree it's probably because you have serVehiculeAmmo and not setVehiculeAmmo

red tree
#

yeh it was a typo LOL

hexed loom
#

XD

red tree
#

i had ser not set and vehicule not vehicle

#

i fixed it tho

#

but thank youuu!

little sequoia
#

is it possible to make a firedNear EH require it twice? As in, if i was to have two groups, one would react after the first shot/interaction and the other one after the second

#

what are the mission systems that are used for the red and green squares in Insurgency?

cinder holly
#

@simple fern no crossposting thank you, #rules

burnt valve
#

is there a way to attach/create a respawn inside a vehicle? Eg: Select a moving truck in the respawn menu and spawn in an available seat.

thorny plaza
#

You can synchronize the respawn module to the vehicle, but it may be buggy iirc

burnt valve
#

Ive tried that, it shows up with a respawn icon on map, but doesnt let you spawn there

sterile cape
#

So uh... I've made a scenario, but didn't unload some mods, thinking they wouldn't really interfere with it... but surprise, surprise, they did. Now my scenario needs those mods installed in order to run (I wanted the scenario to be playable without mods).
So, is it possible to somehow fix this without re-doing the whole scenario from scratch for it to be playable without any mods?
Thanks in advance.

#

the mods are real engine and jsrs soundmod btw

#

how do u merge missions

#

do i just slap the folder on top of the new one or is there a proper way of doing it

#

nvm found the merge thingy

#

will try now

Hey everyone. I am trying to make a FOB and I want it to have a Partial Arsenal that can be loaded up with extra weapons and supplies like the Storage at the start of AntiStasi. Does anyone know how to create this?

Magnificent. I just added Ace to the Server a few days ago. Thank you for your Time @wraith cloud

somebody here knows how to apply camonets in a specific colourway to a vehicle after respawn? I use the vanilla respawn module and under expression i wrote this:

(_this select 0) execVM "camonet.sqf"

inside the camonet.sqf is this:

[_this, false, ["showcamonethull", 1, "showcamonetturret", 1, "showcamonetcannon", 1, "showslathull", 1]] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;

Now when the tank (the AAF MBT one) gets destroyed, the camonets get reapplied but in that standard digital aaf scheme while I want the jungle version.
Anyone knows how to do this?

west silo
# 
_veh = createVehicle ["I_MBT_03_cannon_F",position player,[],0,"NONE"];
[
    _veh,
    ["Indep_02",1], 
    ["HideTurret",1,"HideHull",1,"showCamonetHull",1,"showCamonetTurret",1]
] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
#

@leaden merlin

#

I used the Virtual Garage, applied the jungle net and pressed "Export"

leaden merlin
#

well, i just totally forgot that this existed 😄 thanks.
having this in the camonet.sqf works like a dream:

[_this, ["Indep_02",1], ["HideTurret",1,"HideHull",1,"showCamonetHull",1,"showCamonetTurret",1]] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;

hi its me again

#

so

#

i have a heli with the following waypoints - load > move > transport unload > move > land

#

And i have a unit (the player) with a get in waypoint attached to the heli

#

Actually wait

#

Nvm

#

I literally figured it out while typing here

cinder holly
#

also known as "rubber duck debugging"!

sterile cape
#

rubber duck or not, here i am again :)

#

so uh

#

i got some markers on the map that appear via a trigger when a certain task is assigned

#

however, when they pop up they arent facing the direction i want them to (obviously)

#

how can i achieve that

cinder holly
#

setMarkerDir?

sterile cape
#

didnt know thats a thing

#

ill try it out, thanks

cinder holly
#

Check its wiki page - and at the bottom there is a Markers group you can find useful too :)

sterile cape
#

yeah just checked now

#

looks like thats what im looking for

#

thanks again

#

idk how i missed this

#

ive been literally searching for a fix for the past 30mins lol

Is it possible to modify Warlords so that it’s Green against Red with Blue on the non playable independent side?

not without intense rework

Hey guys, I am trying to put down an inventory in Eden Editor, which is not in the assets library. Now I remember having used an object or module which you place down and then in it's attibutes you can select any inventory item (weapon, uniform magazine, bandage etc. etc.)... Anyone know what this module/object is called?

cinder holly
#

Arsenal perhaps?

unborn hawk
#

No not arsenal :/

wraith cloud
#

@unborn hawk
should be possible with all ammo crates / boxes. the bigger, the more space

#

should be in the attributes menu of the item

plucky glade
#

I'm thinking about making a mission on Bukovina, perhaps mech inf seize airfield or a defense misison. I've never owned the Army of Czech Republic DLC though. Just for some ideas - were there any official missions on that map and what was the situation / briefing?

#

Hey folks, I'm going to have to host a relatively intense mission on an unfamiliar server and want to reproduce the server load of about 20 players for testing; any tricks or recommendations on getting an approximate load similar to that?

Anyone know an easy way to convert an ACE Arsenal whitelist export to a BI Arsenal whitelist format?

how do i change the name of a squad in the slotting screen

If you are using CBA then you can add an @teamname behind the name and it will appear in the as slotting screen

So, i'm making a mission where i want player driven cars to drive into an ambush and for some reason it doesn't wan't to work when setting up the ambush

#

How is the ambush set up? Trigger?

sturdy fulcrum
#

is it possible in 2d or 3d view in Eden to synchronize a terrain object?

#

like since OFP there was the object ID to refer to a specific object

humble lichen
cinder holly
humble lichen
#

There is "edit terrain object" module which allows you to assign a variable to terrain object

plucky glade
#

Wasn't there a way to show object IDs? Don't remember if it was 3den enhanced or 101 editor addon

west silo
#

probably both 🙂

sturdy fulcrum
#

thanks. the "edit terrain object" works with a sphere or cylinder - means in enclosed spaces you cannot delete just the desired object

#

nearestTerrainObjects with very small radius and using the module 3d position is probably the way to go

on a related note Pierre MGI seems to have a few neat things in his modules

@mortal lichen
that's a crazy irritating description.ext
mind sending me your mission folder?

#

upload it to google drive or similar and share the link here pls

mortal lichen
wraith cloud
#

thx. i'm gonna clean it up and do some hickery. gimme some minutes. i'll ping you with a (template) version that should be almost idiot proof and working

#

what terrain is it btw?

mortal lichen
#

altis

wraith cloud
#

thanks

mortal lichen
#

no thank you. I will be able to learn a lot from your template

wraith cloud
#

you made a big mistake........
you created that mission with additional mods loaded, as ACE, MCC. don't do that foe mission making. those mods will be added as a dependency

#

i'll try to fix that

mortal lichen
#

If i dont load mods like ACE, how do I put down things like the Ace Misc box?

wraith cloud
#

oh, so it was intentional? nvm then.
what about MCC?

mortal lichen
#

I havent used anything from that. Anything that it offers can be added after the fact.

#

I am still new to creating Arma 3 missions. But I have experience in similar situations.

wraith cloud
#

ok. as i said pay attention to what mods you have loaded during mission creation. even if you don't use assets or functionalities of some mods, they most likely still write a dependency to the mission

west silo
#

Which will hopefully be improved soon 🙂

mortal lichen
#

ok. So things like the Ace compat for the RHS likely isnt needed?

wraith cloud
#

if you intentionally want to use ACE in your warlords, then have ACE and the compats loaded ofc

mortal lichen
#

Ok. I believe I understand. Thank you.

wraith cloud
#

debugging and testing:

  • if you open the description.ext file, there is a line called disabledAI = 1;
    set this to 0 so you can test with a ton of AI in the player slots
  • i've added a Developement CP entry to the start CP parameters. it gives you a ton of CP 😉
    always test in multiplayer. editor task par -> play -> multiplayer
mortal lichen
#

I have a few questions. I see the CfgWLrequisitionPresets_RHS file. [I thought this was supposed to be line of code in the description.ext, not a separate file]
What is an M File?

#

Second. What is the WL_REDvBLUE?

wraith cloud
#

I see the CfgWLrequisitionPresets_RHS file. [I thought this was supposed to be line of code in the description.ext, not a separate file]
it basically still is part of the description.ext
it is just separated from the description.ext for overview and editing reasons.
when you check the description.ext, you see a line called #include "CfgWLRequisitionPresets_RHS_all.m"
what this does is, looking for a file with that name in the mission root folder and then "places" the content from that file to where the line with the #include command is.
the file extension .m has basically no meaning. it is just a text file that can be opened with any editor (notepad++, sublime, ect)

Second. What is the WL_REDvBLUE?
it is a placeholder image. i took it from my WL missions
you can create your own and replace it.
for example: make a new image in the same dimension, convert it to PAA format and name it RHS_WL_Logo.PAA. then you go to the description.ext and also change the names there

mortal lichen
#

I saw the image as I loaded into the Server. Makes sense. Thank you for that.

I also looked further into the description.ext file to see the main differences between yours and mine.

It makes a ton of sense. I've looked at other pbo's and files trying to teach myself everything I can but it never fully clicked.

Thank you so kindly for taking your time to teach me.

wraith cloud
#

your initial development was good for a start, no doubt about that. it was just missing some bits here and there and structure 😉

#

you're welcome. have fun

wraith cloud
#

@mortal lichen
did you run it on your server yet?

mortal lichen
#

yes I did. everything worked except for some reason, the warlord sectors arnt spawning any AI@wraith cloud

wraith cloud
#

this might have something to do with your class CfgWLFactionAssets list. i never used that tbh

mortal lichen
#

I am gunna check a few things that have always been a hang up for me. I will add that to the list and report back on the Solution or the Lack there of

wraith cloud
#

i see you have used the original altis mission file as your origin point. this is a kind of outdated way of doing it. do you have CUP mods? if so, i could give you a sample mission from me

mortal lichen
#

Yes I do. I dont have a ton of experience on them though apart from fallujah

I will check it out in a bit, thank you

hey gamers, I'm trying to get the trident module to work but I can't find any documentation on how to get it working and the AI keeps shooting me. anyone knows how it works?

sterile bane
#

Anyone know how to get the Hide Terrain Objects to work on a dedicated server before spawning in mission items? Currently everything just explodes as soon as the mission starts, even though it works fine local hosting.
Is the code for dedicated servers somehow crappier than the graphical version?

red tree
#

Hi ok so

wraith cloud
#

yes?

cinder holly
red tree
#

oh sorry i thought id come up with a way to solve my question sorry

#

ok my question was can i take the stock warlords mission and edit it in the editor to change things like sector sides and AI limits

wraith cloud
#

sector sides and AI limits
idk what you mean by that

#

@red tree

red tree
#

hi whats up

#

you can set whether sectors are uhm BLUFOR OPFOR or INDFOR in the editor

#

just to kinda change the dynamic of the game shruggies

#

and then AI limit is just that by default on altis players can only have like 4? AI and i'd like it to be a few more

wraith cloud
#

you mean the purchasable AIs?

red tree
#

ye

wraith cloud
#

that's hardcoded and can not be changed "on the fly" or in a module

#

as for sectors, you can set ownership (side) in the sector module

red tree
red tree
wraith cloud
#

hold on... what module is that?

red tree
#

the warlords module

wraith cloud
#

damn... i totally missed that

#

so, what is it that you want to do exactly?
you seem to know it already

red tree
#

i think its the 32 a side mission in altis only has a 4 AI limit by default where most other maps/counts have 9 AI

#

i just wanna take the default warlords mission and open it in the editor

wraith cloud
#

then do 😄
extract
missions_f_warlords\MPScenarios
and move the mission folders to
..\documents\Arma 3\missions or ..\documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\missions
whatever you use

red tree
#

finally!

#

thank you :)

#

now i just need to find the mission :(

radiant oriole
#

Hope i can get some help here with an issue, I have a mission i created, tested and played on SP and MP hosting thru BIs dedicated and everything works completely fine. Once the mission is loaded onto a server thru PingPerfect tho shortly after starting the AI will act extremely dumb as if they are desyncing i.e - walking in place, not responding to damage or anything. I will also add the server we load it onto can play missions like antistasi and BMR insurgency so don't see how it could be a issue with server specs. also in this mission i have a lot of triggers and modules placed for a reward system once areas are clear with the editor and a hefty amount of cached groups and buildings. I have tried everything for the past 4 months to figure out the issue with no luck what so ever.

#

@signal coral
is it a SP or MP mission?

mortal lichen
#

does anyone know where I can get the mission folder for the offical warlords mission for the new DLC? it is not in the mission_f_warlords pbo

wraith cloud
#

mission_f_warlords is the vanilla games
S.O.G. warlords is in the CDLC files and obfuscated

humble lichen
#

ofc it is not, it is in the files of the DLC, if they put them in mission_f_warlords, that would mean that pbo cant run without DLC... Let alone DLCs dont modify vanilla pbos.

wraith cloud
#

you can not extract it

mortal lichen
#

so I cant load it onto my server?

wraith cloud
#

you can, if your server has the CDLC

#

you just need to know the class names

mortal lichen
#

Once again Audio, you are a godsend. Thank you.

wraith cloud
#

👍

mortal lichen
#

so I am in the files and most of the dlc's are clearly named. But I cant seem to figure out which one is the SOG dlc.

#

i think it is the file marked vn, but I would just like to confirm before I continue

wraith cloud
#

yes, it's VN

mortal lichen
#

magnificent. Thank you

wraith cloud
#

VN - Viet Nam

There should be some decent info in the PBOs for it @long forge

#

it's using the encrypted .ebos ;_;

raw solstice
#

BI is pretty good about documentation

#

Oh is it?

#

I guess just checking the wiki until someone gives good detail

west silo
#

ebos cannot be unpacked. Don't even try.

#

However, you can use the functions viewer to see what functions are executed by the modules and start from there.

raw solstice
#

Are the example missions only in the arma 3 tools or are they hidden in one of the base game PBOs as well?

#

Example missions?

raw solstice
# 

\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\Samples_F\Example_Supports_Mission\MP_GroundSupport01.Altis\```

#

Download Arma 3 Tools and open that path

Also at least in Arma 2 there were example missions in the folder with each modules

hi guys, im having a problem with my briefing timer for a mp event. I use this code https://pastebin.com/Urj0HCLv in the initserver.sqf with the aim of having a briefing timer after which vehicles are unlocked. The problem i encounter is that the countdown doesnt go down in steps of one per second but two or three (maybe even more depending on how many clients are connected?? just tested with one person). I have no idea what is causing this, since im not really familiar with mp scripting /:

shell fox
#

oof krtecek

#

While sleep is not entirely accurate, 100 to 200% deviation seems excessive to me.

sinful rampart
#

if you do sleep 0.01 then 1000% deviation or more is completely normal

shell fox
#

Even when considering the server might be very busy plus you send a (sort of redundant) network broadcast every second...

#

But Dedmen has spoken.

#

I can suggest a workaround: Move the countdown hint to the clients using serverTime (at least I hope that serverTime will do the job).
So in initServer.sqf you just do this:

//Lock all vehicles
...
sleep 420;
//Unlock all vehicles
```And in `initPlayerLocal` you do something like this:
```sqf
while {serverTime < 420} do {
  hintSilent "";
  sleep 1;
};
```That way you don't send the `publicVariable` network broadcast every second, the server has to do less stuff and hopefully the clients can provide more evenly spaced countdowns.

does anyone have a better way of respawning vehicles than BI vehicle respawn module ? because sometimes it just double respawns the vehicle on the same location and cause everything to blow up

You will find a module for that, far more advanced than BI one.

but it gave me more problems than BI respawn

#

Which ones? I usually solve them.

You can join me on BI forum or on Steam page

weirdly it doesn't

instead it respawns on death position

still respawns on death position

Just wrong option parameters. I explain you on dms

g'day lads...
i got a tricky one and need your help.

i'm about to build a vehicle only mission (PvP). well, at least i got an idea for it. but since i'm not able to do the most crucial part, i haven't come far yet.

the idea i have, and at the same time issue:

  1. i want players to spawn inside a vehicle of choice, and want them also to be able to select the position (driver, commander, gunner)
  2. once the player selected his vehicle and position inside of it, the empty slots should be filled with subordinates AI (same group)
  3. player and AI must not be able to exit the vehicle

any ideas how to achieve that?
(pls ping me)

cinder holly
#

see for example createVehicleCrew to create missing operating subordinates (after having put the player in the vehicle)

lock the vehicle with lock

#

and for the spawn vehicle of choice
→ get vehicles list from config
→ have a UI to offer the choice
→ same for driver/gunner/commander, I would go with buttons that you click to create everything - the button would be greyed out if the vehicle does not have such slot (e.g no commander)
then createVehicle, you know the drill 😉

#

you can use fullCrew to check if a seat exists I think

wraith cloud
#

for the vehicle selection i was thinking of respawnTemplates[] = { "MenuPosition" }; and respawn modules synced to the according vehicles. as for the vehicle position, i now remember that you can switch pos inside a vehicle anyway if there is AI in it

cinder holly
#

oh, I understood it as "spawn + create vehicle + crew"

wraith cloud
#

that'd be the second step, important for respawn

#

like:
i select my vehicle in the respawn menu, go to battle and get 🦆ed.
after respawn timer, vehicle gets a respawn and i can select a vehicle again

cinder holly
#

so is it or is it not 1 player = 1 vehicle (ala World of tanks)?

wraith cloud
#

preeeeety much

#

one player, one vehicle

west silo
#

I kinda feel using the default respawn screen will be more hassle than anything else 😄

wraith cloud
#

since i'm a code noob, that was the first logical way for me to try 😄

#

but i guess this complexity can not be done with modules

wraith cloud
#

@cinder holly
issue with createVehicleCrew:
crew is not part of my group and can't be commanded

#

*part of player group

cinder holly
#

oh? I thought it would. then```sqf
private _crewGroup = createvehicleCrew myVehicle;
units _crewGroup joinSilent player;

wraith cloud
#

how does it work with multiple players?

#

can it be scripted that the AI created by createvehicleCrew joins player group once inside the vehicle?

#

if that makes sense

cinder holly
#

yes

  • create vehicle
  • place player
  • create vehicle crew
  • join them
#

does that sound like what you want to do? 🙂

wraith cloud
#

i mean...
i have a number of vehicles on the map.
all vehicles have createvehicleCrew in the init to fill the slots.
player selects vehicle in the respawn menu
only the AI from selected vehicle joins player group

cinder holly
#

all vehicles have createvehicleCrew in the init to fill the slots.
wrooong

don't use init fields 😄

#

what i most likely will not have issues with, creating the battlefield / scenario. CTI / sector control like

keen bramble
#

So ive got some triggers that arent exactly doing what i want them to

#

they've got a BLUEFOR owner and some waypoint activations tied to them, but on mission start all of the move orders start and dont wait for the trigger

#

pretty confused and feelin dumb

keen bramble
#

a friend and i figured it out

#

one LAMBS waypoint "Task Assault" messes with all of the triggers and WP

snow crypt
#

Is it possible to place a unit in the editor, in this case a helicopter with playable crew and make it spawn in game via trigger?

astral bloom
#

Yes. createVehicle, createVehicleCrew

cinder holly
#

BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle?

snow crypt
#

Not exactly. In Steel Beasts, one can create a unit in the editor and edit its attributes with a logic "spawn if" that will only spawn this preset unit when a condition is satisfied. This allows the designer to create a unit in the editor and make all the setup necessary for this unit, like loadouts, rank, etc and then only spawn it into the mission when necessary. Is there such a thing in Arma?

west silo
#

This is possible with Eden Editor layers

#
  1. Place the object(s) in the Editor.
  2. In the Special State attributes, uncheck "Enable Simulation" and "Show Object"
  3. Select the Objects and add them to a new layer (There is that folder with a + in it in the left menu in Eden Editor)
  4. Name the layer as you wish
  5. During the scenario you can access the layer entities with getMissionLayerEntities "AA"
  6. Activate and show all entities of that layer during the scenario
flatten getMissionLayerEntities "AA" apply { _x enableSimulationGlobal true; _x hideObjectGlobal false; };
#

@snow crypt

#

I noticed there is no page for Layers on the biki. I might create one.

vernal brook
#

will this load them on mission start and insert them on need or will they load on activation so it causes lag like when spawning other things?

snow crypt
#

One question: When using the Support Module, if I switch unit ("U"), even if all the units are sync to the Support Requester Module, they don't have access to any Support Providers. Is it possible fix it somehow?

west silo
#

you need to sync it by scripting I guess when you are team switching

snow crypt
#

By any chance, would you happen to know the scripting function to call? I could perhaps input that into a repeatable radio trigger.

sorry for bothering you guys again, but does anybody know if it is possible to add items to the backpacks and vest you can place under -> empty -> equipment -> backpack/vest? I tried so far:
this addItem "item" (didnt work)
this addItemtoVest "item" (didnt work)
this addItemCargoGlobal "item" (put the item in the "loot pool" but not inside of the vest)

Looking to add a scroll-loadout to an item/supply box. I don't have access to the mission SQF though have zeus and can execute code. How would one add a scroll-loadout to a box?

west silo
#

What is a scroll-loadout?

cinder holly
#

maybe Arsenal in the scroll wheel action menu?

#

@torn gulch ?

torn gulch
#

Hi, where you scroll on an object and can select an option that can pull an entire load out and apply it to the player

#

So not the arsenal which loads up the entire arsenal interface

wraith cloud
#

preeeety hard to do without file access

#

why not making a new mission and replace the old?

leaden merlin
cinder holly
#

ah
well, you would have to deal with the weaponholder and get its backpack

leaden merlin
#

with weaponholder you mean the "lootpool" i talked about?

cinder holly
#

the placed object is actually a weapon holder holding (addBackpackCargo) a backpack

#

deal with it as a crate holding a backpack

leaden merlin
#

hmm ok, i tried searching for some commands that would allow me to do that but i cant seem to find them. I guess that it will be more complicated than that?

cinder holly
#

yes

leaden merlin
cinder holly
#

yep, because items placement is not perfect

leaden merlin
#

maybe this doesnt reference to the weaponholder?

#

hmm, giving the backpack object a variable name and using this doesnt work aswell.

torn gulch
wraith cloud
#

who has it then?

torn gulch
#

People who manage the mission files in my unit, who wouldn't be inclined to change it for just one mission

Hence the request

easiest way I know is when you load up the mission

leaden merlin
cinder holly
#

nope

#

try debugging by checking which var is what

Or simply script the backpack from scratch, without Eden-placed object

soft rover
#

The Allow damage button in attributes. Does that only effect objects and not entities like vehicles and players?
One of our mission makers is testing something out and noticed disabling damage on entites worked in SP, but not on MP

cinder holly
#

doesn't on respawned-on-start units, because they get deleted/spawned

soft rover
cinder holly
#

noticed disabling damage on entites worked in SP

#

if you tick it and it has an effect, it works

soft rover
#

But it doesn't work in MP

cinder holly
#

yep

soft rover
#

Which is what we wanted.

cinder holly
#

for the reason aforementioned

#

doesn't on respawned-on-start units, because they get deleted/spawned

soft rover
#

I read. I couldn't deficer what you said.

cinder holly
#

in MP, units can get "respawned on start", which means you don't play the editor-placed units (if some settings are set)

soft rover
#

Right

astral bloom
#

To solve, use allowDamage command

#

Which is literally the same method the attribute took

soft rover
#

I mentioned this

astral bloom
#

Not attributes, command

soft rover
#

He seemed to think it wouldn't work as on BIwiki it mentioned The command has to be executed where the object is local and will be effective as long as the object does not change locality. If the object changes locality, the command needs to be executed again on the new owner's machine to maintain the effect.

#

So we'd need to account for JIPS?

astral bloom
#

You wanted to disable damages at the beginning of the mission right?

soft rover
#

Correct, for certain vehicles.

#

Maintain that throughout.

astral bloom
#

Oh yeah, vehicles... Since the driver took the locality of the vehicle, this should require some trick, I think? I'm not really good at multiplayer scripting so...

cinder holly
#

yes, every time it changes locality iirc

Good day. When I create a mission task I want it to be hidden until previous task completed, but option 'Always visible' is just not working for me - task pops up at the very beginning. I tried deleting all 'set task state' modules (thought maybe it's something with how I synced them) with no luck so far. Pls helb, what am I doing wrong?

You need to activate the module via a trigger

wraith cloud
#

how can i achieve that a unit has the same loadout at respawn as it had the moment it got killed?

i have onPlayerKilled.sqf

[player, [missionNamespace, "Saved_Loadout"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;```
and ``onPlayerRespawn.sqf``
```sqf
removeAllWeapons player;
removeGoggles player;
removeHeadgear player;
removeVest player;
removeUniform player;
removeAllAssignedItems player;
clearAllItemsFromBackpack player;
removeBackpack player;
player setUnitLoadout(player getVariable["Saved_Loadout",[]]);```

but all it does is to remove the initial spawn gear from mission start. looks like the loadout at death is not saved...
wraith cloud
#

solved it:

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

params ["_newUnit", "_oldUnit"];
if (isNull _oldUnit) exitWith {};
_newUnit setUnitLoadout (getUnitLoadout _oldUnit);
wraith cloud
#

well... not quite there yet...
it doesn't give me my rifle and launcher back (if i have it on me)

#

i guess this only reads the loadout of the dead unit that throws away rifle and launcher at death

wraith cloud
#

i give up for today.
if anyone can come up with an idea on how to preserve the loadout on death, pls ping me

Anyone know what the correct way is as to how to use the Transport Unload waypoints? I have two helicopters with move waypoints as waypoint 0, then transport unloads as waypoint 1. The infantry in the helicopters have get out waypoints sync'd to the transport unload waypoints

#

My player unit is in the first helicopter, which lands correctly and unloads troops at the unload marker with the invisible helipad

#

but the second helicopter either lands and unloads troops below its position as soon as the mission starts

#

or it lands then takes off again immediately, without unloading

#

it isn't going through the first move waypoint

#

not by default, it lands first

Howdy, so I'm trying to make a mission where there is a pool of respawn tickets. and when those tickets are used up respawns are disabled and any player killed from thereafter goes into spectator mode. I've got the ticket system working, but it seems the game makes the mission fail instantly upon hitting zero tickets.

#

Is there any way around this? Even if I had to forgo the spectator portion that would be okay, but the idea is that surviving players would be able to continue on without the others.

to learn from them like that is a kind of weird approach

the best is to find out what you want to do, break it down into components and then search the biki and forums for how to do things

Hi, i'm new on making arma missions. i did one long time ago, but i want to create a new one. i have some questions for you:

  1. Is there a way to test some milestones or objetive completion on a mission without playing the mission each time from the start? i remember this took me much time just to test if scripts or triggers worked.
  2. I want to fix my last mission but i dont have the original files, just the mission avaliable on steamworkshop. Can i extract the file to bring back the folder? i have mikero tools pro btw.
  3. Is there a way to test myself the multiplayer mission as i cant be asking my friends to log and test with me each time. i remember some audio and image custom assets wont work properly on their ends, due to the need of server boilerplate. i remember problems with playsound3D not firing properly.
  4. Is there a friendly 2021 video tutorial to start making missions right away.

Thanks

# subtle sapphire Hi, i'm new on making arma missions. i did one long time ago, but i want to crea...

  1. Testing, you can just play the mission straight from editor. (Personally I have a separate testing slot, with Zeus access for this)

  2. Shove that into your MPmissions folder in your Arma 3 docs. Load the game and try to load the mission in editor; it will give you a list of dependencies you need to load the mission.

  3. Same as No.1 but instead use, play-->multiplayer within editor. Doing so, sets up a "server" aka you can quick load into it using the normal play mission button within editor.

  4. Editor tutorial (also covers MCC and Zeus) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSyOI3vNExw
    General tutorials etc (War Is Hell) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU_UuUC1huYMbToetISN1kQ
    for example to those asking about ALiVE orbat creator: https://youtu.be/vC9eLS7fCWQ

How do you guys feel about ai squads under player control

signal coral
#

I am not sure where to ask this.... How can i make trigger zones of DLC missions visible in the game? I cannot load the mission into the editor and i just cannot finish the mission as the vehicles i need to enter a specific zone, well i send them there, i send them here, but the mission does not progress.

west silo
#

Which dlc?

woeful magnet
#

Is there a way to set up a map marker in Editor so that only certain personnel will see it?

#

Its important to note, this is for a PvE event so its not a team based thing.

#

But I just want to set up things like markers for the various LZs so that only the helo pilots and RTO can see them, to avoid cluttering other peoples' maps.

west silo
#

This is unfortunately not possible out of the box without scripting. I am actually wondering why

woeful magnet
#

I mean I've got to get a grasp on scripting anyways. I want more or less Zeus-less PvE ops / operations where Zeus is there to spice things up and fix issues more than to actually run the mission.

formal geyser
cinder holly
#

@woeful magnet ^

woeful magnet
#

Much appreciated @formal geyser

formal geyser
#

Yessir.

woeful magnet
#

Not quite what I had in mind. I was thinking markers I'm putting on the map in the editor.

formal geyser
#

Yeah that would have to be scripted

woeful magnet
#

Any idea where I'd look to get started on it? I'm a novice when it comes to scripting. Most of my mission stuff has been active Zeus work before now.

formal geyser
#

There's a compiled list

soft rover
#

I have a strange problem with a mission I just made for our community.
It regards the AR2 Darter drone.

So for an operator to be able to connet to it he needs the correct terminal.
That's all fine. Got it work, mission was well received, but a bug the operator ran into was that for me to make the drone connectable to the terminal I had to add an ai to the drone in the editor.
Now when the drone is destroyed the ai is kicked out and the operator is viewing through his camera but all keybinds are being activated on the ai.

Is this a massive oversight from BI in the drone or am I doing something wrong?

#

Obviously I want the player to regain full control of himself.
Experienced mission maker but never played with drones.

cinder holly
#

You are doing something wrong indeed

#

You placed an empty drone instead of a filled (with invisible AIs) one

#

its icon is yellow in the editor, instead of blue

#

@soft rover

soft rover
#

It was yellow. Until I placed a unit down and then dragged it into the drone.

cinder holly
#

Yep
Try placing a non-empty one directly

soft rover
#

Am I mean to place with crew box ticked?

cinder holly
#

Yep

#

Hmmm

#

Hmmmmmmmm

I'll try tomorrow and report 😋

Carrying on. 1am, in bed after a Saturday arma sesh, one mission played was mine.
We archive and play any of the hundreds of in-house mission made, so updating our missions is vital for playability, not just a mission that if broke don't matter because it was a one off OP kinda thing.

afaik vanilla can do that by now also

tawny jungle
#

Does anyone know how I can disable all the vanilla addons?
I am making a Zeus scenario for IFA3 and want the Zeus to not be able to place the default NATO, CSAT, FIA units and so on.

#

I know there's a 'Manage Addons' object but how do I use that exactly?

#

I read this, but it's not making sense to me.

west silo
#

I guess there are more ppl who know that

tawny jungle
#

Thank you

#

Then again. This is specifically a function in the Eden Editor.

west silo
# 
if (isServer) then 
{
  allCurators apply { removeAllCuratorAddons _x;  _x addCuratorAddons ["A3_Modules_F_Curator_Lightning"]; };
};
#

this should add the Lightning Bolt module to all curators

#

So now all you have to do is figure out the class names from CfgPatches which belong to the IFA3 Mod.

#

@tawny jungle

tawny jungle
#

So I add this to the 'init' part in the Game Master module?

west silo
#

yeah, init would probably work.

#

Alternatively, init.sqf or initServer.sqf, if the latter you can omit the "isServer" check

tawny jungle
#

Could you maybe have some time to go on a voice channel?

cinder holly
#

his secretary says: no 😄

west silo
#

What do you want to know?

#

Just ask

tawny jungle
#

Well. It doesn't seem to work. Even the line of text you gave me.

#

Nothing changes, and yes. I run it as server.

west silo
#

It works for me if I host the mission

#

You are running a DS?

tawny jungle
#

No. I go to play and specifically select to play multiplayer.

west silo
#

Same here

#
  1. Open your scenario folder (where mission.sqm is)
  2. Create a files called initServer.sqf (make sure its ending is .sqf)
#
  1. Copy allCurators apply { removeAllCuratorAddons _x; _x addCuratorAddons ["A3_Modules_F_Curator_Lightning"]; }; in it
#

Try again

tawny jungle
#

In my file explorer I assume?

west silo
#

yes

tawny jungle
#

Ok, done.

west silo
#

In the Editor you can also go to Files and click on "Open Scenario Folder"

tawny jungle
#

Lets try.

west silo
#

ok

tawny jungle
#

Doesn't work.

west silo
#

All addons are still available in zeus interface?

tawny jungle
#

Yes

#

Let me reload Eden editor.

#

Same result.

west silo
#

Did you change anything in the Zeus Module?

tawny jungle
#

With the init part?

#

No, it's empty.

west silo
#

Default Addons? What is selected there?

tawny jungle
#

All, including unofficial (because of those mods, obviously.)

west silo
#

Set it to "All Official..:"

tawny jungle
#

Now it works. bcaBounceExcited

#

What I want is the opposite though. I want to keep all the addons and only remove the default unit ones.

#

So, I don't think that this is ideal.

#

I could also do only the addons present in scenario add all those units and make them despawn on the actual loadup of the scenario.

west silo
#

Okay, let me check if there is a way

tawny jungle
#

I wish I could send screenshots, then I could show you exactly what I want.

#

Or is it fine if I DM some?

west silo
#

I know what you want. Anything not related to IFA should be gone from zeus

tawny jungle
#

Yes!

west silo
#

These Zeus module are super complicated. No clue who designed that.

#

Quite a spaghetti.

copyToClipboard str (("getArray (_x >> 'units') isNotEqualTo [] && getArray (_x >> 'weapons') isNotEqualTo []" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgPatches")) apply {configName _x})

tawny jungle
#

Execute where?

west silo
#

Debug Console inside editor

tawny jungle
#

Should I set the game master back to include all addons?

west silo
#

No

#

Any other value than default will overwrite the script for some reason

#

(First time using the Eden Editor BTW.)

#

But it's quite easy and understandable. Except for this part...

west silo
# 
if (isServer) then 
{
  allCurators apply { removeAllCuratorAddons _x;  _x addCuratorAddons ["WW2_Assets_c_Weapons_InfantryWeapons_c","WW2_Assets_c_Weapons_Mines_c","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Germans_c_GER_Wehrmacht_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Soviets_c_SOV_RKKA_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Americans_c_US_Airborne_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Americans_c_US_Airforce_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Americans_c_US_Army_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_British_c_UK_Army_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Germans_c_GER_DAK_Gear","WW2_Assets_c_Characters_Winter_c"]; };
};
#

Try that.

tawny jungle
#

In 'iniServer.sqf'?

west silo
#

Just replace the other script you added there

tawny jungle
#

Under what?

#

That file?

west silo
#

initServer.sqf

#

lets hope it works

tawny jungle
#

Negative on that.

#

It does work when I add it to the init part under the character that is the Zeus.

#

But now I have to do it the other way around though.

#

I want to keep everything and solely only remove the units from NATO, CSAT, FIA, etc...

#

So I can keep all the buildings and other assets.

#

If that makes sense.

west silo
#

So you need to use removeCuratorAddons

#

And go through CfgPatches one by one to figure out what to remove and what not.

tawny jungle
#

if (isServer) then { allCurators apply { _x removeCuratorAddons ["A3_Characters_F"]; }; };

#

Like this?

west silo
#

Perhaps there is a better way but I haven't used Zeus in like 5 years or so

#

yes

tawny jungle
#

Are wildcards in this also possible?

#

Like A3_Characters_ or A3_Characters_*

west silo
#

That would be too smart 🙂

tawny jungle
#

Well. No other choice I guess. lol

west silo
#

Maybe that has something which makes this easier

tawny jungle
#

Already ahead of you.

#

I have it installed already.

That's the one yes! cheeky_intense

# 
{ 
  allCurators apply { removeCuratorAddons; ["A3_Characters_F"]; };

#

Will try that first.

#

That should already remove a metric ton of units.

#

And it did not work.

#

I will try the full A3_Characters_F suite. So to say.

#

Why there are no wildcards, this is so sadistic to do...

cinder holly
#

you could get a list from the config, then check if "A3_Characters" in ...

#

Enlighten me.

#

My array didn't work.

I will try it the other way around, see if it even works at all.

That DOES work.

#

It doesn't seem that 'removeCuratorAddons' works at all.

#

Seems the addons of the mod themselves are 'broken'

#

They don't show up even though they're used.

#

Gonna do it differently... Just going to add one unit of all the units and objects I want. And have only addons available in the scenario.

#

And have those despawn.

tawny jungle
#

Nope

#

That's no option either.

hot warren
#

Have you looked into ZEN, and the configure available factions options?

tawny jungle
#

No

#

But I already got it working.

#

I managed to get the manage addons entity to work in Eden editor.

#

And I used MS command prompt to 'poop' out the filenames and I used regular expressions to delete unneeded filenames for the 'ww2_objects' .

#

Got over 334 names I then put in. And you can use multiple addon manager entities! So I use one for each mod to main a bit of oversight.

#

Do you just so if the 'init' part allows for doors to open on buildings?

Is there a way to create a trigger to only spawn a bunch of units I placed down until the trigger is activated, such as a player moving into the area

@nimble crypt
In Eden Editor, to make things "invisible" then appear when a trigger is activated, use the Hide/Show Module(s).
Search interweb for :

#

Awesome thank you

#

Also another question, would I minimize frame drops in larger operations? When I've got a bunch of people playing in my milsim op, the frames drop when people are near each other. Im assuming this is solvable seeing as I had 20 people and bigger units get 40 or even more

Steam cloud error when publishing missions thru editor SOLUTION:

open steam console with WIN+R type steam://open/console

In steam console type this command: testappcloudpaths 107410    This worked for me.
tawny jungle
#

I have a weird problem...

#

-I made a zeus scenario, added resources.
-I disabled all the addons for zeus and only enabled the needed addons manually.
-When I host a local MP server I can place all the units I enabled with the addons, edit them and delete them and such.
-When I run the same scenario on my public server, with the same maps and mods. It wont let me and I get 'insufficient resources'. Although, my top bar in Zeus shows I got full resources.

#

Why do I only get that on my online server? I also added default Arma 3 units and cannot edit them either anymore.
If I enable all the addons for Zeus I can edit and add everything. (including all the default Arma 3 items, which I want to avoid.)

tawny jungle
#

Hmm

#

If I do it the other way around by enabling all the addons and disabling all the A3 addons, it does work. But I then also got to disable a lot more and it's not future proof since the newer addons added to the base game will work.

tawny jungle
#

It seems I simply miss some addons. Question is which ones...

#

I will just do it so everything is enabled I just disable the basic Arma 3 units and some buildings.

#

Will in the meantime just figure out how to do it the better way.

#

Now it doesn't work...

#

Everything is still available.

tawny jungle
#

Fixed it

#

I think.

#

I added the costs. and made them real low.

#

This is the first time I am using Eden editor. Hope I am not doing too bad. bcaBounceExcited

All that's left is to add a few costs for some buildings that are not included as classes... PAIN

#

I could try one more thing.

#

Gonna host it on my remote server again.

#

I am struggling with this for three days now.

#

And the pain is not over... I got to edit the arsenal as well.

#

Does anyone know how I can restrict items in the arsenal? Or would I really need to set all the items manually?

#

Yes.

#

Fixed it online now also.

#

By adding resource points to Zeus and literally setting the cost for all objects/actions to 0.

#

Which now results in me only being able to place down WW2 objects and IFA3 units as Zeus.

#

But we're not done yet. Oh nooo. My map is now version 0.3.2 where 0.3 was to figure this out. That's done now.

#

Now it's time to figure the arsenal out.

#

There seem to be tons of bugs with Zeus.

Some modules also spam the rpt

I place a camera spawn for Zeus. But it doesn't work on my public server. It does work on my local server though.
Also, a random spawn point appears on the online server, but not on local server.

I used the original Zeus files from the Altis map.

I still have to figure out why it happens, but maybe someone knows already. Or is this a known bug?

Has anyone else stumbled into the issue where respawn points are appearing on the location of player's deaths? They are usually named "S of LocationX", "Direction of Location" type of ordeal. Currently the only mods that could do that in our list are MCC or ace, if they have a setting like that, the rest is just the DLCs and Enhanced Movement and I highly doubt they generate dynamic respawn points like that.

Any help would be appreciated!

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

Google and download pbo manager. In your mpmissions folder you will see your saved mission folder. Use pbo manager to convert that folder into a pbo file. Upload that to your server and either use a config.sqf to run the mission or log in as admin and choose the mission using the chat command #missions .

by the gods... no

#

do not use pboManager

to convert missions from your editor into PBO files:
in the editor, export as multiplayer.
the PBO will be stored in the arma 3 root folder in MPMissions.
copy that file to your servers MPMissions folder

Guys I've just ran a mission where I was using those FIA crates coverd with net as sideobjectives that need to be destroyed. They have no special scripts or anything, just named objects and a trigger checking for their status. When playing on dedicated something weird happened - players got some kind of interaction (Non - ACE) and they told me they could "disable" the cache - it looked like a "Holdaction" option. When testing MP locally this never happened. Is this a vanilla Arma feature or something else? Using a basic modified F3 framework for the mission that just takes care of loadouts, zeus and basic things. Example of class ``Box_FIA_Wps_F (fiacache3)` Edit: Mods being used CBA, ACE, ALIVE, RHS/CUP and the rest mostly effects like enhanced soundscape / helicopter dust / ragdoll etc.

Also any ideas how to disable this would be welcome

When using keyframe animation (timelime) and hosting using client server (launch the server from the editor itself), when I switch to camera thats is attached to the keyframe animation, on my POV it works fine, but when it moves my friends POV is basically the camera clipping through the map, while for me its fine (moving smoothly).
Trying to make a cutscene.
How I have done the camera keyframe:
I ran (started) the timeline of the keyframe using
[Timelinename] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_timeline_play"];
And to switch to the camera linked to the rich curve I use:
[cameraname, "INTERNAL"] remoteExec ["switchCamera];

What are some other ways to implement an objective like this?

#

it seems that knowsAbout is weird with civilian objects in general

Hello. I have a question. I have, for no reason at all, every playable character float. I have used the exact same modlist ever since I started, never ever seen this issue, and I never changed anything this time. I would share a screenshot if this channel allowed it.

imgur it

#

give me just a second

#

There you go

astral bloom
#

Can you give me more clear photo? I can't get it

tiny pulsar
#

Alright.

astral bloom
#

Did you tested it with an empty mission?

tiny pulsar
#

I actually copied most of the assets present from my previous mission, which worked absolutely fine. I haven't messed with anything, nor added any scripts

#

Everything seems to be squeaky clean, with the exception of a few decorations/clothing changes

#

I am obviously running mods, but I have had these mods FOREVER, and never saw this issue

#

Okay, the issue is even worse - every single NPC, friendly, enemy are all floating in the air

astral bloom
#

Try it anyways

tiny pulsar
#

For no particular reason, just like it came, it left

#

I didn't restart the game nor change any setting, just continued doing my thing

#

Sorry for the trouble

im in a bit of a predicament and im not even really sure if this is the best place to ask this but

#

Is there any way i can make UAVs linked to a singular person instead of the entire team (independent team)

#

Are there a way I can code a trigger so the enemy turn from total passive to hostile when a humwee pass through it?

So all of my players have asked me to make a GATE campaign

#

But I cannot for the life of me find a mod that adds Dragons to ARMA

#

What would be the best way to add dragons?

would anyone mind looking at my mission.sqm ? its just weird... when i go into eden and load it, then press play and then play on Multiplayer everything works as it should, when i save it and export it to Multiplayer, move it to the dedicated server and the whole mission is f*cked. i tried everything i could but it absolutely doesnt work.

mission requires S.O.G Prairie Fire dlc.

Please @ me if you'd be so kind

How do i stop the Ai from trying to play safely and just obey the zeus command regardless if its dangerous? I'm trying to have a sort of banzai rush with vehicles and soldiers but they just hop out of the vehicle or go lay prone and get shot up

cinder holly
hasty drum
#

will they still shoot from the vehicles as well?

#

and how do i stop them from switching to combat

cinder holly
#

"careless" as infantry

hasty drum
#

and they'll just rush?

well the idea is my friend wanted to do an arty support mission, so my idea was to do support for a convoy that will pushclose to the objective before dismounting and engaging, problem is the second a bullet whizzes by they all hop out and stop the convoy entirely and refuse to push at all

#

and the ai are kinda supposed to be pushing the town to clear it with whoever is on the frontlines but they just refuse entirely to move an inch

#

or hop in and hop out of the vehicles over and over

#

forgive me if this is an easy question,
is there a way I can check how much time did I spend on making the mission?

shell fox
#

Fortunately not, as far as I'm aware.

cinder holly
#

negative indeed

honest elm
#

Can’t you jus check the age of the mission save folder?
