If you have the variable set before the script starts, then yeah it will cause the script to exit.

You are best off to override a3 function for animals or override the map configs and disable the animals altogether

@unborn flame Let's just make sure to remind people to keep in mind/test only vanilla A3, because out on Reddit a Project Argo dev confirmed that yeah things work a bit differently there

desert trench Nov 8, 2016, 3:58 PM

The development team is now fully focusing on a clean sweep of the game. This means that for the next couple of weeks we're solely fixing bugs, focusing on performance and minor, yet long-standing issues, and polishing the game. As a consequence, all of the work is under a lock - only approved and manually selected pieces of data get in the final game and the rest has to wait until the lock is released. The plan is to finish this sweeping period by delivering Update 1.66. Hopefully, after we have results of some first build checks done by our Quality Assurance, we'll be able to publish the Release Candidate by the end of this week.

i guess now is the chance to get the A3 teams attention for long time or important issues

unborn flame Nov 8, 2016, 6:20 PM

I'm still looking at the locking and found that one change sliped from public changelog

There was a change in how a vehicle gets heated up / cools down. The ir sensor (aka magical radar) is no longer purely dependable on engine on/off but rather on how the vehicle is actually heated. It seems it brought some issues.

the art of requesting is to request at the exact right time, when the topic is at discussion behind public doors and even better right on the chopping block in that very moment ^^

thick hare Dec 7, 2016, 8:53 PM

#

u're right. Was about to write that, esp. the chopping block, but don't want people spamming request every day just to accidentally get that timing right at some point 😄

#

usually anim sources are fairly simple to add, more than e.g. script commands 😄

unborn flame Dec 7, 2016, 8:58 PM

#

i always had the impression that the opposite was true, considering that the anim source requests (and fix requests) where rarely adressed. Not knowing context and background is nice fertile ground for wrong conclusions though^^

We've touched this next topic in the previous SITREP: Arma 3's development team switched their focus from creating new content and features for several weeks and invested their time solely into fixing bugs and improving the game. Project Lead Petr Kolár took the opportunity to explain the process in detail with his OPREP. The Clean Sweep was successful; hundreds of issues were crushed by the fix hammer. As a result Arma 3 is yet more stable and serving as the solid platform you all deserve. - quick snippet from SITREP #00183 which is probably topical

I understand that there is a lot of work around the ticket. I do not like the lack of order in the categories, there is no organization in the tickets. It looks like a general, an endless stream. It is necessary to organize the division into subcategories. It must unite the tickets total flow subcategories around some issues or subjects.
I longer understand the structure and organization of tickets for feedback CUP Tracker. This is a good example, look at the organization and the division of the total flow. http://dev.cup-arma3.org This should help to organize the flow of questions and procedures to fix.

#

seems like the major culprit for many tank physx problems is that the vehicle does not create accelerating forces from its wheels. It is pulled by external force, and the wheels basically slow it down artificially. So if the wheels suddenly lift off a bit (due to inaccuracies of numerical solver), the external force is uncountered -> large acceleration. And if the wheels suddenly come in contact with the ground again when no external force is acting, there is a very large force stopping the vehicle (driving over a small bump or jumping with the tank and landing on the ground often causes you to either stop or do a roll over forwards).

#

example where this is fairly easy to see is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxYiWuaRnss - > large stopping force of the wheels and soft suspension

@untold wharf All three jets still have the pre-existing CCIP/PIP indicator visible if using the TGP view so long as said impact point is within the TGP field of view, but right now the Buzzard's Twin Cannon 20mm also has a "broken circle" indicator which is (seemingly by design) not subject to any difficulty toggle, the trade-off being that #1: it's only visible through the HUD glass and #2: you can't free-look too far off-center or else it's no longer visible through the glass just like the rest of the HUD

untold wharf Feb 7, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

i think it being on the glass is a good compromise. I think that it could work

#

its a pretty small glass

#

i still think an option to remove it makes sense, the reason people like arma is server and customization so why not have as many options as possible

rapid badge Feb 7, 2017, 4:18 AM

#

That isn't Bohemia's problem... especially not when KOTH has already demonstrated their ability to support modded versions of KOTH

#

But AFAIK there's no such thing "a difficulty setting in the config file to either turn on or off" so you can't disable the 'broken circle' because it's specifically separate from the Crosshair option in the Difficulty Settings

untold wharf Feb 7, 2017, 4:19 AM

#

im definetly excited to try, idk if it will be better/worse than abillity to disable but its fun to try new things

#

right that is kind of what I was asking for. Another line in the config for ccip/TLI

rapid badge Feb 7, 2017, 4:20 AM

#

Yeah, see, Arma configs don't work that way

#

Plus it'd fly in the face of what oukej already declared about why it's in the glass -- because it's part of the vehicle, not a 'meta-game' element like the Crosshairs

untold wharf Feb 7, 2017, 4:23 AM

#

hey im happy to try it just on the glass i think it will help and I completely understand its part of the vehicle that makes sense to me. I am soley concerned for the state of KOTH

rapid badge Feb 7, 2017, 4:24 AM

#

Well that depends... how often did the jet gods' power really come from having CCIP/PIP to make gun runs with and the 'peripheral view' advantage of third person view? Now it's one or the other 😛

#

And as more than one person has rebutted... don't focus on CCIP/PIP and the TGP as the be-all and end-all of KOTH jets when the state of play for jets is not only in-flux there but in other areas too.

#

For example, I actually lost my Buzzard to MG fire from too many aggressive gun run attempts against a freakin' Sochor... not because it blew up my jet immediately, but because it took out an engine and I couldn't maintain lift enough/wasn't high enough to buy time to safely land. 😛

untold wharf Feb 7, 2017, 4:27 AM

#

I am focused on it I strongly believe that the CCIP/TLI has severely unbalanced jets

rapid badge Feb 7, 2017, 4:27 AM

#

And all I can think in response is "didn't they say that about the TGP too?"

#

(Its rounds may or may not have also punched through the wings and/or control surfaces as well and thereby affected the flight -- the Wipeout was so configured that way as of mid-December, don't know if the Buzzard and Neophron got these yet.)

@tired flare Oh that's easy: You ever take a look at the glass panel in the jet cockpit which has indicators for stuff like aircraft pitch, altitude, heading, current weapon, ammo, GEAR/FLAPS/LIGHTS... well it just so happens that "if you shoot now this is where the bullets would land" is one such element on the Buzzard when selecting its gun

(I don't talk about the GBU-12 in this context because to be honest I can't find where the hell its indicator is in the glass so I have no experience with how well or not it works)

#

@untold wharf FWIW if you want CCIP/PIP conversation to continue on the forums instead of Discord we ought to keep our replies to others in the "targeting improvements" thread (i.e. by copy-pasting the quotes into the reply box of that thread), it taking over the sensors overhaul thread was my fault and I intend to mitigate that

#

yea

rapid badge Feb 7, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

So if you're concerned with how KOTH will be affected by the Jets update... there's way more going on than just the CCIP/PIP changes

#

@untold wharf For example, if there are no other changes in this respect in post-Jets DLC KOTH from what's on dev branch now, imagine that a Cheetah or Tigris can basically find any aircraft in the sky within 6 km on their (active) radar... but that in turn every opposing aircraft within 12 km can see the Cheetah/Tigris on their own 'display' even if they're not facing it

@untold wharf After this week's changes... yeah, the air-versus-ground balance was about way, way more than just CCIP (although that's now changed again too).

@untold wharf You should be... CCIP is gone from third-person but here-to-stay in first-person*, but in turn it looks like the Wipeout's ability to find targets (that you can use the "Next target" keybind on) is basically exclusive to use of the targeting pod -- which also gained NV mode but may have had its 5x/15x views further narrowed -- while the Buzzard has the same change but also has active radar.

rpgs and all rockets are just high explosive weapons in Arma and MRAP type vehicles are explosive resistant.

#

there is no penetration possible for rockets

near cedar Apr 3, 2017, 10:53 PM

but MRAPs die with one RPG7

#

which is HEAT

#

So kinda weird that a transport truck should be fine with it

shadow beacon Apr 3, 2017, 10:59 PM

They have the engine in the front though don't they? A truck cab is just a void

#

occupant should probably die though

silk urchin Apr 3, 2017, 11:11 PM

#

isnt the engine underneath the driver? I mean the tempest is slightly armored but still...

near cedar Apr 3, 2017, 11:12 PM

#

yeah, should be under the driver

#

for more context - pre 1.68, you could shoot a zamak/prowler with bullets till it explodes

#

with 5.56/7.62

#

like, the hull would fall to 0 and it would explode/you would die

#

even if engine etc were all yellow/white

#

they've fixed that now, but i wonder if they over-corrected the trucks

#

haven't tried an RPG7 at a zamak though

#

i was told hitting the tempest on its fuel tank is still 1-hit boom

#

so at least that's intuitive

shadow beacon Apr 3, 2017, 11:31 PM

#

I'd say the engine is more likely behind the cabin on Tempest/KAMAZ Typhoon

#

it's bad to have anything underneath the crew seats in a mine-resistant vehicle

silk urchin Apr 3, 2017, 11:37 PM

#

yeah, I guess it is behind the cabin. at least there are a lot of vent openings there

#

also weird that the guy in the video shot the driver through the window of a MRAP truck with 7.62mm

restive narwhal Apr 4, 2017, 10:18 AM

#

well it appears there was no glass in the window, probably blown out by the RPG, which is why he was able to shoot the driver so easily?

#

it's very difficult to tell from the video exactly where that RPG hit, or whether it in fact just hit the ground in front of the cab?

near cedar Apr 4, 2017, 8:23 PM

#

yeah which is why I verified later, to make sure it wasn't a miss

#

note that the truck in the video had its damaged texture loaded

restive narwhal Apr 5, 2017, 7:38 AM

#

it did, but that could easily have been indirect splash damage. As I pointed out, the glass had clearly been broken prior to him/her opening fire on the driver.

#

I'd experiment for myself, but right now Steam is downloading a large workshop update ... yay Steam

restive narwhal Apr 5, 2017, 8:05 AM

#

ok, I can reproduce, but it depends where on the front I hit as to the results. Low down and it was an engine kill, higher up at the mid-point between the windows and the bottom of the chassis was heavy hull damage with windows blown out. In every case, except where I put the RPG through the windows, the driver surived but injured

#

This was in 1.64 btw, so it's not something new to 1.68

@restive narwhal yeah but it only took 50% hull damage in my test with a full front hit.

On the server, till 1.68 played 40 players, every evening. After release 1.68, spatial representation of sounds of a shot is lost. Now on the server comes to play 10-12 players. Such problems have bad consequences of the general game process. Shots it is sometimes not heard, it isn't possible to understand from what party, it isn't possible to understand 30 meters or 1 kilometer. Players don't want to play, this disorienting by much isn't pleasant.

Quoting myself But BI should probably allow users to specify that a bug impacts RC or dev build. So it doesn't just disappear between the random Release bug reports.
RC is supposed to be for testing for bugs right? How can it be that a bug in RC is just ignored after it's reported? Why doesn't the Feedback Tracker have special Tags for RC and dev bugs so they don't just disappear in the masses?
When I create a Bugreport I get asked about my OS version. But not about the actual Game Version I'm running. Isn't that kinda.. Important?

active ground radar? that would be normal (the wreck still reflects the radar stuff). But i noticed on devbranch on first deployment of radar that AA with radar emitted active signal after destruction. forgot to report it, not sure if still the same

near cedar May 30, 2017, 6:16 AM

#

@unborn flame I meant the latter, so yes, it's still the same.

And regarding the former, I don't know man, it's supposed to be Doppler radar, so technically anything standing still shouldn't show up. If it does then other metal objects should as well, otherwise I question the "simulation" behind it.

unborn flame May 30, 2017, 4:34 PM

#

the difference here is not between moving and not moving. the difference is between destroyed and not destroyed. Yes you can filter out targets that dont move, but if a functional tank just stands somewhere i dont think you would want to "hide" it.

#

things like this are what make the current radar alot stronger then it propably should be, it magically knows when a target is destroyed

near cedar May 30, 2017, 6:30 PM

#

well if a functional tank isn't moving then it shouldn't appear on radar, i'd suppose?

#

And when i mean radar i don't mean IR/visual sensor. I mean radar. So then what's the mechanic used for target identification? I remember oukej suggesting it was doppler based, and that's usually how ground radar works (because that's how the ground is filtered out). But if you say that it should be able to detect a functional but stationary tank, then is the mechanic that the radar is not filtering metal targets? if yes, then other large metal objects should show up too, i suppose.

so uh

#

it turns out that non-repeatable triggers keep checking their conditions even after they're true

near cedar Jun 24, 2017, 4:12 PM

#

@waxen tundra what i mean is, the condition loop of trigger seems to keep running even when a non-repeatable trigger has already been activated (i.e. condition is already true). This appears unnecessary and wasteful - why check for the truth of a condition that is already true, if you only need to check once?

But the question is, is this intended behaviour? If no, then i'll make a bug report, have the repro mission ready.

untold sky Jun 24, 2017, 4:23 PM

#

I don't see any reason why you would check a condition where you will always ignore the result of that condition

near cedar Jun 24, 2017, 5:18 PM

#

i don't see either, but i'm assuming they have the same code for repeatable triggers as well

#

and i don't know the engine details

#

but i would assume that the loop's condition should be while (!conditionMet || isRepeatable) {check the trigger condition}

untold sky Jun 24, 2017, 5:37 PM

#

@near cedar Can confirm that. It first checks the condition and after it has the result it checks if the Trigger can even be triggered.
Not only that but it also prepares the list of vehicles in side the trigger every time. Even though it can never trigger.
So.. Onto the Feedback tracker with that

near cedar Jun 24, 2017, 5:46 PM

@untold sky thanks a lot, will make a ticket. Temporary workaround is to just delete the trigger in its own on-act field, i suppose

Well... It's not gamebreaking.. But.. It kinda is.. for competitive play. And like.. That last mission where we were 3 people barricated in a house all watching the only entry. Where that one AI just shot us all through a wall behind us was kinda..... Bad....

If you need more manpower I'm here :D
But I know that weapon collision is not that easy.

near cedar Jun 26, 2017, 5:12 PM

#

i say this as a layman but -
you already know when a weapon is potentially blocked (since the crosshairs convey that info), so the AI could concievably use that information to judge when they're too close to a wall, and lower their weapon

untold sky Jun 26, 2017, 5:13 PM

#

AI doesn't have a crosshair

near cedar Jun 26, 2017, 5:13 PM

#

so?

#

the crosshair itself is AI

#

in the general sense of AI

#

it's an algorithm

#

you could use similar logic for an NPC

#

we wrote a bunch of scripts to make a custom crosshair that only appears when pointing at close objects, to provide weapon obstruction information

#

used line intersects and stuff (i didn't write the code myself, so can't tell you in any further detail what they did, i don't know exactly)

#

i assume you could do that for NPCs too

#

but yeah, would be a good feature to release with tac ops or something

untold sky Jun 26, 2017, 5:22 PM

#

A good AI also wouldn't even attempt to aim at Walls if there is an Enemy behind it. Because the Enemy logically couldn't come through the wall and the AI also can't go through it.

near cedar Jun 26, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

baby steps 😄

#

and well, walls can have windows...

#

i'd assume that the structure model would need to be coded for the AI to understand what a wall is, where a window is, etc

#

maybe AI could use geometric occluders too? 🤔

Physics observations
PHYSICS ISSUES: Through rather long testing I've noticed that the vehicle damage detection is quite severe. This is very pronounced on the huron(chinook) due to it's long rectangle shape for example. We see a helicopter, but the computer sees a large, elongated bounding primitive rectangle block. When landing or when ground vehicles move across a curved slope, at some point the slope contacts the block, detects immediate damage and seems to take place also with jet's blocks.

The vehicle even going 1m/second and sometimes completely stationary, bunny hop bounces even a little and then detects and takes damage. One can notice in the dirver/pilot seats, it goes white, then yellow, then red in a matter of moments either upon landing a helo or sitting in a jet. Asking bohemia to see what answers they can provide on this issue. I've conducted this test over a long time and I get the same results.

I'm concluding in theory it's just that the physics design with the game engine combined works too well when colliding with any type of terrain other than complete zero degrees flat ground which we all know is nearly impossible. Even the carrier is not completely flat surface. So we get bouncy objects that get damaged. Sometimes when standing outside and just observing them physically hop.

Vehicles and objects appear when they shouldn't even be there, frozen in a mission. Seem to be carrying over from other missions/previous runs of the same mission.

If they are in the concept phase of a thing (say tanks) and you have a suggestion that fits, its the perfect time. If you come to late -> low chance. If suggestion is too "big" - lower chance. If you haven't sacrifised a goat - lower chance.

@near cedar - triggering the repair/rearm/refuel via action from action menu should work. Am I correct?
The automatic repair/rearm/refuel is based on a check that can't be reasonably performed in MP (perf.).
These two "approaches" are some legacy designs. Not sure how much we can do about it atm :/

@thick hare iirc the action menu entries don't appear, but can check again next week (traveling at the moment)

BTW, also relevant to locality and Tanks DLC - vehicle commanders can't deploy smoke under certain conditions https://feedback.bistudio.com/T123828

near cedar Aug 11, 2017, 5:19 AM

#

@thick hare tested again, and yes it works from the action menu - but only for the driver (i.e. the unit to which the vehicle is local to / belongs). Doesn't work for others even if they're the only ones in the vehicle, unless they switch to driver seat.

Once a unit enters the driver seat, switching to another seat still gives them the repair option.

@thick hare Hi. There is a question. Since the OFP days, you can refuel a car at a gas station. Why there is no repair of machines in the workshops, which are often at the gas stations? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/File:Land_CarService_F.jpg
At least, the repair of the wheels, body and engine. I exclude the repair of the tower of a tank or other weapons.

vagrant mulch Aug 13, 2017, 7:41 PM

Good point

#

If we take that one step further, why no heals when near hospitals etc

obtuse hinge Aug 13, 2017, 7:48 PM

Actually, that's not a half bad idea that a Medical person would be stationed at a hospital where you could recieve some attention and wound healing 🤔

#

#

This could feasibly be done by the mission maker, though?

#

Also, a repair would be a repair, irrespective of vehicle (i.e. both tank and car would get repaired)

near cedar Aug 16, 2017, 10:05 AM

#

Also, another problem with having repair or heal built into the map is mission balance

#

Can't have people repairing or healing themselves if the mission maker doesn't want it

#

Refueling rarely comes into play so it doesn't really matter for such things.

#

Tool Kit repairs any vehicle too. And it doesn't depend, on the size of damage of the vehicle, and on ability of Tool Kit - to make full repair in any place on the card.
In other words, each means of repair has to have criteria what checkpoint can be repaired and what can't be subject to repair.
Tool Kit and workshops have to give the chance of repair only of a running gear of the vehicle. All other types of repair for 100% only by repair truck or a basic specialized workshop.
It would be interesting to see such realization.
@unborn flame When in Arma3 loss of fuel from damages became relevant, gas stations were required too and have gained popularity. The factor hasn't caused loss of balance. And the atmosphere has increased in a game. @near cedar About balance of Arma3 it is possible to talk endlessly. Arma3 a game where the atmosphere plays an important role, is a priority or not?

fuel loss from damage for cars and tanks is not in vanilla. If you talk about custom game modes then you can easily make other things such as repair also functional...

Tool kits and repair vehicles have to be provided by the mission maker

I'm 100% against repair/heal being baked into the map

I can get behind objects or structures that mission makers can place to enable such behaviour, however.

@near cedar I didn't see missions where the producer of a mission switched off a possibility of gas station of cars at gas stations, switch off fires in airfields, in the cities and beacons. As you speak if repair disturbs, the producer of a mission will switch off it.
It is a question of immersion in the atmosphere of functional objects of the island for their direct appointment. Practically all main part of military equipment uses motors and a running gear from civil cars. It is a part of strategy of military, to have a possibility of repair in any country where service from brands of automotive industry of foreign countries offers the services for the civil sector.
I don't suggest to fill shelves of shops and supermarkets with goods from arsenal and DLC ))).

near cedar Aug 16, 2017, 2:54 PM

Yes because you can't turn off the fuel at gas stations. None of our missions use fuel as a mechanic anyway.

#

I'm not sure what you mean by fires at airfields, in cities and "beacons"?

I've never seen any of those, are you sure those are vanilla features?

Switching off of light of a lamp and signal lights, lamps, will prevent to use the airports, but nobody takes such extreme measures. Everything has functionality until it isn't destroyed or isn't blocked during military operations. Gas stations after destruction don't work.

near cedar Aug 16, 2017, 3:13 PM

#

Yeah because that doesn't affect how the mission is played?

#

Sometimes people do shoot out lamp posts

#

And in rare cases mission makers destroy lights to simulate a blackout

#

But it's very different from an unintended repair.

#

Only things that ever need to refuel in our missions are aircraft, so gas stations are largely inconsequential

#

Heck, I didn't even know that they could refuel vehicles until a month ago 😄

And I've been playing this game for over four years now

The darter it is possible to fill at gas station too. There is only no opportunity to give the AI command to refuel at gas station. If AI approaches on gas station, the vehicle won't be serviced until you get into the car.
