[sacred beacon]

Is there any way to speed up the scenario file download when players join. Like if they downloaded the scenario before joining. Was wondering if that would work or if theres an alternative.

[prisma oyster]

make a smaller mission file

[sacred beacon]

thank you dr house

but if anyone actually knows if the downloading beforehand technique works let me know if not i'll just test it out when i get the chance

[small patrol]

Don't include images or such

[sacred beacon]

Alright thanks

[plain gale]

Wasn't there a setting to cache the file in the server memory. That might help as well.

When you place a task module in the editor, is it possible to add spaces to description of the task? If so, how?

[scarlet crystal]

you press space to add spaces. To add linebreaks your write <br>, it's structured text. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Structured_Text#Line_break

[young nebula]

Thanks

hi, i'm trying to make ai use a stair but the doesn't use it, i 'm using vanilla, cup and other mod stairs but any of them work, what can i do to make them use the stairs?

[prisma oyster]

1st don't crosspost (I removed your post in #arma3_scenario),
2nd you have to give them a waypoint to a higher position and the AI should draw its path using these stairs

[long bone]

sorry for the first one, i forgot to delete the post here, and for the second i did that but they doesn't want to use the stairs

[prisma oyster]

that's weird, but there is no other way
try a waypoint straight on the building, then edit that waypoint to set a building pos #0/1/2/3 etc

[long bone]

i'm using stairs, not a building with stairs. Now i am trying with ramps but doesn't work either

[scarlet crystal]

then the building has no pathing made for AI, you won't do anything with it.

you can use unitCapture and unitPlay to record yourself using stairs and play it on the AI later.

[prisma oyster]

it doesn't animate humans

[scarlet crystal]

But we are all sheep

[small patrol]

A WP's this attribute - what does this do? Is this supposed to behave like Variable Name?

[scarlet crystal]

no, you still need to use waypoint's number/array in scripts

kinda useless but I've seen usermade functions with it

https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/163401-delete-ai-waypoint-by-name/

[small patrol]

...Then what it does?

[scarlet crystal]

gives waypointName command a purpose

[small patrol]

Ah it does work, for that, very, I don't know, very useless command

I don't even know why waypointName exists. In fact I have never knew this

Hello guys, i have a question, i found a map on arma workshop and i wan t to play with my friends on LAN, but...i wan t to edit the map by pressing Y , zeus i guess, in the same time that we play, how can i do it? any tutorials? or...helping me on private? i wan t to make that sandbox to play Y and working to edit

[cosmic acorn]

look on youtube making a zeus mission there are a bunch of good guides that will get you started on what you need to do in eden

[tame kernel]

is there a way to get analog radar ( old one) in Editor or is there any vehicle got a screen like/close to this one that shows analog radar scanning :

[digital bison]

Hello!
I'm looking for a way, in a multi session, to display the rank and possibly change the name of a player. Does anyone know of an addon or script that would allow this? Thanks a lot!

Hey in eden editor is there a way to spawn dead guys or nah?

[small patrol]

[fossil urchin]

Hello,
Is there way to block attaching more than 1 x type of modules in editor?

[prisma oyster]

through editor scripting, but why?

[fossil urchin]

Because im building (again) something what maybe doesn't even work.
https://youtu.be/Q4IOStCLcNw

And i want only 1 module could be added in editor.
this way i get, but module stuck on mouse and i need select something else from entities list.

private _placed = {(typeOf _x)  isEqualTo  "psr_locations_edit"} count (all3DENEntities select 3);
systemChat str _placed;
if (_placed > 1) exitWith {
  delete3DENEntities [_logic];
};
private _display = findDisplay 313;
_display createDisplay "psr_locationDisplay";

[prisma oyster]

that's different than "block attaching more than 1 x type of modules"

make something that "if placed but there is another one, self-delete"?

[fossil urchin]

Yeh!

that ☝️

when this Eh should active

// When added to the world (e.g., after undoing and redoing creation)
case "registeredToWorld3DEN": {
    _logic = _input param [0,objNull,[objNull]];
    diag_log format ["registeredToWorld3DEN %1",_this];    
};

because it does not active when i create module in editor.
but when i delete , this one actives

case "unregisteredFromWorld3DEN": {
    _logic = _input param [0,objNull,[objNull]];
     diag_log format ["unregisteredFromWorld3DEN %1",_this];
};

[young belfry]

I have the DLC, but I am curious. If you don't own tank DLC, can you place DLC items in zeus/eden?

[small patrol]

Yes

[sinful zenith]

Yes

[young belfry]

ah ok. And it should be avaiable for everyone I assume
Wannammake sure I got all the require stuff included :P

[sinful zenith]

No

Depends on available

What u mean

[young belfry]

avaiable as in installed

[sinful zenith]

They can see it

[small patrol]

Unless their game is somehow outdated, everyone can see every vanilla assets (aka non-Mod and non-Optional DLCs assets)

[young belfry]

ahhh ok thx ^^

[lilac rose]

Hey all. I’m testing a mission right now and running the script in the image attached. What it does is take the load outs I import to the arsenal so players can go through it and use what is only intended for the AO. But I’m testing I can’t change certain things; ie I can take the cap off or leave it on but I cannot change the type of cap. Same goes for webbing. But I can change weapons to a limited degree. My Home Screen says all my mods are up to date

[fallen vapor]

1. the code you show in debug console doesn't do what you said, it looks like it just takes all the items/weapons/unfirms equippedby playableUnits and switchableUnits and copies them as a unique list to clipboard
2. please just copy and paste your code into discord, you can format it using code blocks

```
Your code here
```
to make it

Your code here

also probably a #arma3_scripting question

[lilac rose]

Yes. It’s supposed to import them when I click the import button in the arsenal. Viewing it from editor, I can see everything is there. This is the only map I’ve had this issue on, other mods and maps work and I can change it.

I’ll most it to scripting, much obliged

[fallen vapor]

No you're in the right(ish) place (probably #arma3_scenario , but whatever), I misunderstood you

[lilac rose]

Ah. Yeah that’s where I’m at right now. My wwii mod set it works. The Rhodesian ones…no dice

[fallen vapor]

That's probably a mod issue then, may have something to with their value of scope in their config.

[lilac rose]

Just tested it on my wwii mod list and now it’s not working there.

anyone know what the tarp in the background is called in the editor?

[primal wave]

Tarp_01_Large_Yellow_F

I believe. Not behind a PC at the moment.

[serene flame]

thats a ground decal version apparently

[gentle cradle]

Ayo, i believe this is the right place to ask this, Anyone have any idea on how to add a custom sound, For say, a mission intro, Wanting a little exposition as my mission starts, cant seem to get it working

[scarlet crystal]

convert the sound to OGG format, put into your mission, add an entry to the CfgSounds/CfgMusic in your description.ext file in that mission (create one if it does not exist), reload mission in editor, put a script playing that sound where suitable.

[gentle cradle]

I just got it working, i appreciate it though 🙂

[scarlet crystal]

[dense dew]

ah my bad

[gentle cradle]

Me again pfahaha, any way to add custom sound into the play sound module without making it a mod? 🤔

[scarlet crystal]

no

just run it from a trigger or a script or wherever

[fiery basalt]

Also any form of star wars/ clone wars is not allowed on this discord due to the IP infringements with Disney 😉

[dense dew]

Thanks for letting me know i was unaware

[fiery basalt]

[young belfry]

Not sure where or how to ask, but anyone know of buildings styled like tanoa, 2-3 story, city buildings?

Basically, I got shop and houses for the city, but even with Prairie fire, only so many combinations of buildings xD

Id love some of- ||darn it Im afk, forget the name|| livonia urban buildings. Like, I think the police station? Or what that prairie fire building-

Regardless, some buildings I think might look nice but they look a bit too run down x3

[vestal perch]

there are not really much in the way of building addons for Arma. CUP has some new ones and A2 ones but basically thats is about it

also

for scene complexitys sake you cant have too many unique things in view at the same time

[young belfry]

For preformance, or?

[vestal perch]

yes

[young belfry]

[vestal perch]

This is Arma3 channel, you want the tos in appropriate reforger channel.

[near token]

kinda unrelated but

whenever i click space

instead of interacting with the thing infront of me (opening a cars inventory for instance), my character either does interact with it or ''trips'' in the direction i was going
example: i go to a vehicle, click space when the gui pops up to open the inventory, and my character trips in the direction of the key i was holding (if i was holding W, i would trip forward)

i cannot for the life of me find the keybind to fix this

i also deleted enahnced movement

nothing changed

[scarlet crystal]

then disable mod after mod until it goes away. It's not vanilla feature and definitely has nothing to do with editor.

[wind raptor]

@near token Sounds like the dodge feature of WebKnight's Improved Melee System. Fortunately, you can get rid of that keybind.
The appropriate place for this kind of troubleshooting is ... #arma3_troubleshooting 🙃

[near token]

i was told i was in the wrong channel when i was troubleshooting something similar, i thought troubleshooting was specifically for the game combusting and just not working

or mods not working

[vestal perch]

true. #arma3_questions is the place for questions that dont quite fit the other channels

[near token]

is there a way to set up a unit with specific patches

i installed a patch mod and it helps but its still random patches

i'd have USMC with kenyan patches

for some reason

i want to link USMC patches with USMC speicifcally

the mod this script where it puts the same patch on all the soldiers in that unit, its helpful but idk how to change it to what i want, its randomized patch designation

[odd yarrow]

Hey so I’m working on some ops that use TIOW 1 and 2, Imperial conquest and ace. I’ve run into an issue where as soon as I shoot one of the enemies they immediately get right back up even if they get knocked out.

Obviously not very fun for the players and I would like ace to work.

I also am using the adv-cpr pike mod

[junior steppe]

I keep having this issue where units will get out of a vehicle before they reach the get out waypoint

like they just stop in the middle of the road sometimes

[lime dust]

they get out, look around, then get back in?

i think that's part of 'aware' behavior, try changing them to careless

(they're probably checking surroundings)

[devout laurel]

Arma 1 question. Can I start a mission with a town demolished?

Drives me crazy how everything's standing and stuff

Not very realistic if it's a battlefield

Everytime there's news about the Russian Ukriane war I get this craving to build a mission based on the war

But then I never do

Because Arma is like some wei4d drug addiction

And it just makes you want to play but then you think let's do something else

[lime dust]

arma 2 Harvest Red campaign was seemingly inspired by current events 15 years before they happened lol

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Custom_Composition#Modding_Compositions

Is there special step to take to make these available to Zeus?

I got them defined in config.cpp and they show up fine in Eden Editor.

[distant briar]

I have recently created a composition mod and i think they are available by default.

Here it says:
Since 2.06, custom Eden Editor compositions are also available in Zeus

[sinful zenith]

Steam workshop compositions and Eden saved compositions show up in Zeus

Modded compositions I probably forgot, gib ticket

[plain gale]

That's not good, damn

Gonna create ticket asap.

[sinful zenith]

Well too late for 2.14 😄

[plain gale]

I might have found another issue. Something seems wrong with the ATL height when placing the composition

I'll see if I can create a repro

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T174947 Here is the ticket about the compositions not showing up in Zeus. If you need a sample config/mod let me know.

[sinful zenith]

I have a vehicle with 3 move waypoints.
Its supposed to drive to the end.

Problem, it sees an enemy (through half a dozen buildings at 600m distance...) about half way, and then just stops there to engage the enemy (trying to fire through half a dozen buildings...) and never drives to the last waypoint where it was supposed to go.
I want it to engage enemies on the way, but I want the driver to continue driving. Any ideas?

[cloud sparrow]

driver _vehicle setCombatBehaviour "CARELESS"

Any ideas?
|| improve arma AI ||

[sinful zenith]

Yeah I put a "force move no matter what happens" waypoint on my todo list

Also something I noticed.
Its so extremely hard to work with and understand other peoples missions.
Saturday I looked at a mission that had a dozen triggers that seemingly did nothing. I couldn't figure out why they were there.
Today I spent half an hour troubleshooting why that frigging convoi waypoint isn't starting, turned out the start trigger had a 12 minute countdown timer on it.

Then went back into the first mission, scrolled all the way down in triggere and opened the effects category, and tadaa! The triggers play music!
There must be some way to indicate what values in attributes were changed from their defaults, or maybe only display changed values. That would make it so much easier to understand what other people did

[cloud sparrow]

That's why I mostly try to use triggers only for setting global bools/check if they're activated and do the rest in SQF/FSM

Nothing worse than coming back to mission made mostly on triggers, makes it really hard to know what's going on.

[wind raptor]

Pro tip: Use the Text attribute to preserve your sanity when working with triggers.

[cloud sparrow]

That too, the text is visible in the entity list so it's quite useful.

[plain gale]

When I worked on the cldc missions I wrote a little tool exactly for that. Some units/triggers etc had init script and it was super confusing

[olive dune]

how can i give a NPC a grenade into his hand for a screenshot ? He should not throw it. It should be in an animation. Is there a simple Script ?
I tried some things. but Maybe i am on the wrong path.
In the Eden Editor I edited the NPC, gave an Animation,[
"AwopPpneMstpSgthWpstDnon_Fast_Start_1",
-1,
objNull,
false,
0,
"",
"",
true
]
but
_unit addItemToUniform "Handgrenade";
_unit linkItem "Handgrenade", "rightHand";
doesnt work...
Has the Greanate to be an Item ?

[sinful zenith]

Omg yes. I needed that today.
There are some triggers that execute script, and some have it copy pasted and I had to find all of them.
So I just manually clicked through each

[small patrol]

Just put a grenade prop in his hand

[keen jolt]

setDriveOnPath already kinda does it tho

oh message is too old. sorry for the ping

[near token]

anyone know how to make the map fully visible? for some reason cant see anything in the distance, even in the editor

[north nexus]

why will the ai start shooting at me even though I told them to only return fire?

[scarlet crystal]

yes. "Individual units will open fire on any enemy units that are both aware of their individual presence and can harm them."

put them into hold fire mode or make yourself a captive

[north nexus]

how can I make myself captive?

and if I make them hold fire, will they shoot back at me if I shoot at them?

[scarlet crystal]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setCaptive

[scarlet crystal]

nope, they will just ignore anyone even when being shot at.

the problem with "do not fire unless fired upon" is that they will fire once you get too close because that's considered being a threat already, so technically if they are not too close to you you can keep them in that state

if they are just supposed to sit in the city and player has no chance of walking right up to them they will ignore the player.

[north nexus]

they are supposed to return fire only when I fire on them

and otherwise sit there

[scarlet crystal]

ok, so with "do not fire unless fired upon" they will not fire if you do not fire at them, AND if you do not get too close

[north nexus]

that is the problem

I am making a checkpoint

that you must go through

wait, can you switch a unit's side mid mission?

[scarlet crystal]

kinda. You can make a script that adds player to an empty group of different side.

[cloud sparrow]

Use setCaptive as mentioned and disable it in player fired EH

[north nexus]

I see

[cloud sparrow]

// initPlayerLocal.sqf
player setCaptive true;

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
    params ["_unit"];
    _unit removeEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler];

    _unit setCaptive false;
}];

[north nexus]

If I am the squad leader and I have the captive state, will my team mates have it too?

[cloud sparrow]

no, it's per unit

[north nexus]

I see

do I need to replace player with something else?

nevermind, now they don't do anything even without the script

ok nothing really

uhhh, can I change the hostility of a certain faction?

[scarlet crystal]

they don't do anything because they are the same side as yours (which you didn't mention).

[north nexus]

they are blufor

I am independent

[scarlet crystal]

blufor and independent are allies by default.

See mission attributes in Editor

[north nexus]

I see

[scarlet crystal]

on thhe first screenshot you had OPFOR units in sight.

allies will attack you only if you turn to renegade and you do that when player rating is lower than -4000 or something.

[north nexus]

alright

could I change the allegiance mid scenario?

like, turn the independent faction against blufor instead of opfor

[scarlet crystal]

as in making independent hostile?

[north nexus]

yes

like the AAF at the start of east wind

[scarlet crystal]

resistance setFriend [west, 0];
west setFriend [resistance, 0];```

[north nexus]

thanks!

[scarlet crystal]

changed east to west because yours are blufor, I just copied this from reddit lol

[north nexus]

alright ima test this now

first I need to make sure that my car actually moves

[scarlet crystal]

just remember that they will not start shooting each other straight away, if I'm not mistaken after changing side relations they have to "spot" each other again and it takes a few seconds or so

[north nexus]

better

just gotta figure out why they won't move

I should be able to do that

the driver just stops at the bridge

nothing

it refuses to go on the bridge

whatever

I'll drive

[scarlet crystal]

it's terrain's fault, bridges are not technically roads and they need some stuff to be done additionally and apparently terrain maker didn't do that.

or you have some AI mod loaded that breaks their behaviour

[north nexus]

probably the former

it works

I only need to figure out how to assign tasks via trigger

[young belfry]

is there a "limit" to world size? As in, like, more then x mb and it can get unstable

[prisma oyster]

that's more of a #arma3_terrain question no?

or do you mean mission file size

[young belfry]

mission file, sorry, idk where world came from xD

misssion.sqm

[prisma oyster]

no set limit, just don't go over your storage limit

ofc, if it's 500MB you may have other issues

[young belfry]

mine is 7.45 MB rn heh

[primal wave]

Large .sqm files typically mean lots of objects. After 500 kilobytes you will certainly notice an increase in mission load time. If the objects (and AI!) are concentrated, then the frame rate will also be affected. Perhaps try to limit the mission scope?

[scarlet crystal]

it's not really a problem in SP missions, in Multiplayer big scenarios to download off the server can easily clog the bandwith and cause weird things

[quiet plume]

screams in people shoving 6 MB of unused textures into the mission "just because"

[young belfry]

oh yea, I've done that, but don't intend for them to be given if someone else were to play it. x3

[young belfry]

Sorry, mission scope?

oo, now it's at 8,020 kb :D xD

[primal wave]

Size, length, complexity of the mission. Players usually don't want to play a mission that's >90 mins. In an infantry mission that's usually 3-4 fights. Players also ignore detailed props. And with too much equipment and vehicles at the starting area, some players will get stuck with too many decisions.

To use an analogy: don't serve your guests 17 dishes for dinner, when 3 good ones will do. Might be fun to cook, but together they probably just confuse people and make things unnecessarily complicated.

It's fine to split up your epic missions 😉

[quiet plume]

🧠 prepare 17, choose 3 random ones at mission start. Yaay for replayability

[young belfry]

ohhhhh, yea, that's not really applicable here x3

[small patrol]

Define scale down

[chrome lantern]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3024802916&searchtext=railgun Take something like this and maybe make it the size of a 2-story building if possible or something that could be taken out with several det-blocks instead of 10 airstrikes

I tried looking but maybe I'm just not searching for the right sorta stuff to find smaller but similar items

[small patrol]

setObjectScale is a command but you will struggle after all

[chrome lantern]

I dunno how to use commands as this is the first time I'm going about trying to get a mission together. What do you mean by struggle? I'm guessing because it will scale chunks individually?

[small patrol]

Indeed

[chrome lantern]

Ah. That's indeed an issue then.

I'll go back to scouring the workshop then to see if I can't find something closer to what I'm looking for

[small patrol]

You can try to script the entire to mass-scale change but don't expect me to make a code on my phone rn

Hello, I'm currently trying to add a script to a module from Symplex Support Services, the module is meant to spawn an aircraft that paradrops cargo and I want to add something to mark the aircraft on the map with a BLUFOR Helicopter marker that'll follow it. The module allows me to access the aircraft's init box.

If possible, I'd also like to add text to the marker that it creates

[white moth]

Ah that reminds me, @spark moss the mod mentioned above that’s the one I was on about

Im having an issue with the respawn position module, when im in the editor and run the mission in multiplayer it works fine and as it should however when i put the mp mission file onto my server the respawn function reverts to respawn where the player died

is there something im missing to fix this issue

[wind lotus]

i need some guidance, is there any way to open a save file (ARMA3SAVE File) and edit it in the eden editor

maybe decrypt it and pack it into a pbo

then repack it into an SQM?

[small patrol]

No, are different file and format

[graceful goblet]

hello. i am a noob mp mission maker and have a noob question about map markers. i have tried to figure this out via google and BI forums but havent had any luck
basically im adding map markers to my mp mission, but they dont appear when the server is running.
i am running a dedicated server on a linux machine.

what i have read so far is to try changing difficulty settings in game, which hasnt worked, and that it could be "on the server-side" of things
in my server.cfg file i have added drawingInMap = true; again nothing appears.

pulling my hair out trying to solve this.
thanks

[prisma oyster]

by any chance, are you placing "Empty" type map markers?

[graceful goblet]

hi there. by "empty" do you mean not adding anything to the attributes box?
i add the text like location etc, change the colour and verify 100% opacity.

[prisma oyster]

no like the "Empty" type
but can you see them in singleplayer?

[graceful goblet]

yes, in sp
i guess im not sure what empty markers are then?

[prisma oyster]

don't worry, if you can see them in SP it's not that

[graceful goblet]

im adding "drawn" arrows or destroy cross or objective X mrakes like that

[prisma oyster]

you may not restart your server between tests, hence it still having an obsolete / markerless version of the mission
or
you have mods that hide markers
or
your mission deletes markers

[graceful goblet]

no mods. vanilla game and server. i always have to restart the server to restart the mission. not sure how or why the mission would delete any thing. would there be other changes in the server.cfg file to make? or maybe the problem is in the mission file itself.
i do export the mission to mp before moving to the server

[prisma oyster]

not sure how or why the mission would delete any thing
some script frameworks may, but if you did it all from scratch don't worry about it.

I don't know much regarding server config, try perhaps #server_admins for this direction

[graceful goblet]

hmmm ok np, i appreciate your time.

[prisma oyster]

sorry I cannot do more, I am out of options mission-wise

[ember kelp]

Anyone have an answer to this?

[kind prism]

Since the server locks the mission file while it's loaded, you can change the edited file to like mission_v2.pbo and then load that in the server. you can also change stuff like the mission title to be sure you're actually loading the new mission file.

[fossil urchin]

Loop until the end of the mission or when ppl are in the area of trigger?

[ember kelp]

Well the trigger is just set to "true" so it activates as soon as the mission starts

I'm making a sort of 007 James Bond mission and I want some Soviet music playing on the radio in the enemy base

I figured making the trigger repeatable would do it but it doesn't. Song plays once and that's it

Basically until the end of the mission. When the player moves on to the next objective I'll probably use deleteVehicle to delete the radio just so it's not using up CPU resources when the player isn't nearby. But the first objective is going to take like 30 mins inside the base so I need the music on a loop

[kind prism]

Make sure your trigger is activating repeatedly. Try it with a shorter time and have it systemChat or other logging.

[dim kindle]

can you toggle the effects on and off in the editor, like smoke and such?

[rare venture]

i have a trigger set to auto teleport a player once he steps in it, but i dont know what to put in the deactivation box to reset the trigger instantly so other people can walk through and be teleported

[small patrol]

If the condition is no longer true, it resets itself

[rare venture]

the condition is still {this} once someone walks through it teleports them but once i control someone else and walk up to the trigger it doesnt work

[small patrol]

Check repeatable

[rare venture]

did that, nothing, imma test is {thislist} works

[small patrol]

Won't

We need more details. SP or MP? What exactly is the condition?

[rare venture]

MP, condition is just "this" Activation is "player setposatl [8638,4134,1];" deactivation is blank

[small patrol]

Does the trigger work on local or server?

[rare venture]

tried on both, teleports the first player and not any other

[small patrol]

I'm not asking to test, but the trigger setting

Just to make sure is it on vanilla?

[rare venture]

if you meant he server only box, its ticked. and mutiple SCP mods and ACE, no DLC

[small patrol]

Untick it and test

[rare venture]

nope

[small patrol]

Does the same you mean?

[rare venture]

correct

[small patrol]

What is the entire settings of the trigger?

From Type or whatever

[rare venture]

type: none. Activation: any player, Activation type: Present. Repeatable: ticked. Server only: Unticked. for the repeatable box it says "Repetition rules. when enabled, the trigger can be activated again once disabled" i know i have to put something in the deactivation expression, but even BI Wiki isnt helpful

[small patrol]

No. Deactivation only does a script whenever is deactivated, not to deactivate it. You can put a hint or some command to check if is deactivated properly

[rare venture]

okay i think i got some progress?? i set the activation trigger from "player" to "anyplayer" the teleport doesnt work anymore but the sound i have set to the trigger will repeat if i walk back into it, it wasnt doing that before

[vestal perch]

[zenith halo]

ok, iam newbie in editor, how can i say in editor, that a jet is fly from here (waypoint) to here (waypoint) ? i start, jet is starting but it stops in sky ...

[small patrol]

Place a waypoint, so the plane will know where to fly

[zenith halo]

i do it, but the jet is stops in sky, not flying from WP to WP

[small patrol]

I don't know what do you mean by “stop”

[zenith halo]

it stops, stay in sky

[prisma oyster]

Sie könnten es verwenden, um Ihr Anliegen besser auszudrücken, denn wir haben es nicht verstanden.
you could use it to express your issue better, because we did not understand it

ein Düsenflugzeug nicht in der Luft "stehen bleibt

oder Sie haben die Simulation des Jets deaktiviert.
a jet does not "stop" in the air
a helicopter can, eventually

or you may have disabled the jet's simulation

[zenith halo]

translate it in english: ich habe wegpunkte gesetzt, der jet startet normal und bleibt dann einfach in der luft stehn, als wäre das game eingefroren, understand ?

[prisma oyster]

no, you use DeepL to speak English here. My house, my rule, understand?

[plain gale]

Sounds like dynamic simulation is enabled

[zenith halo]

ahhhhhhhh, ok, i try and disable it, moment

[zenith halo]

ok, this fix it, thanks, but now the jet fly only around the airport, and not from WP to WP

[plain gale]

Jets got a pretty large completion radius for waypoints so it will most likely never exactly follow the waypoint.

Once all waypoints are completed it will just fly mindlessly until it runs out of fuel.

You can also place a cycle waypoint to repeat a sequence of waypoints.

[zenith halo]

ok, moment

[zenith halo]

must the wp have same high like the plane?

[plain gale]

I don't think so

[zenith halo]

mh, the plain is always turn aoround the airffield, but follow nowthing

[prisma oyster]

if you placed the plane at e.g 500m altitude, it will fly at more or less this altitude - the waypoints' altitude must be close to it, give or take some 100m

[zenith halo]

ok, i will check it, moment

[zenith halo]

maybe i dont understand the system, plains starts normal but flay only around the field, not from WP to WP

did i must set wp to follow ?

[prisma oyster]

this is automatic and should work without doing anything else
are the waypoints far enough from each others? because if they are all < 500m, the plane considers them all completed

flying is not precise

[zenith halo]

it works, but next: how did i set a waypoint, that not all plains using same WP ?

[prisma oyster]

I do not understand; if you want one group of waypoints per plane, then each plane must be in a separate group (waypoints are per group)

[zenith halo]

ah, i select the plain or WP to group ?

[prisma oyster]

place another plane
if it is connected to the first plane by a blue line, it means they are both in the same group
press Delete to remove this connection

then they are two separate groups

then add the wanted waypoints to each group

[lavish robin]

Doesn't say3D return the object so can have an EH to detect its deletion?

If not, disregard

[keen jolt]

iirc sound objs don't support EHs

But it is possible to use the sound object instead of a timer (you have to loop like every ~1s then)

[ember kelp]

What about the numbers for volume and distance?

[zenith halo]

... i test all, it runs good, but i have a (last) question: how can i repeat all task like flight to this WP, then to this etc. ?

[prisma oyster]

there is a CYCLE waypoint you can put next to the waypoint you want to loop

[zenith halo]

i dont find the cycle waypoint, where is that ?

[small patrol]

CYCLE waypoint is a vanilla feature. If you're playing the game in German language, you should to look “CYCLE” but in German

[zenith halo]

yes, but exatcly where find it ? screenshot ?

[small patrol]

Place a waypoint. Double Click it. You can select the type of it

[zenith halo]

ok, understand, but there is no CYRCLE or in german = wiederholung

[small patrol]

This should be the icon

[zenith halo]

ah, ok, there is, thank, i will checked it, moment

[zenith halo]

question over question, because not in german, its very difficult ... so, i have the waypoint, but it reapet always the last waypoint landing ... what is wrong ? what must be the next WP after cyrcle ?

[prisma oyster]

if you set Cycle, it will repeat
if you don't set Cycle, it won't repeat

if you want the plane to land, put a Land waypoint
it might be needed for the pilot to get out to make sure he does not fly back up, to be tested

[zenith halo]

thanks, it works and how can i sai, wait until cyrcle like: plaine landing , wait 3 minutes and the cyrcle ?

[prisma oyster]

make a MOVE waypoint with a 180 seconds timer

[zenith halo]

after the CYRCLE the MOVE or before ?

[prisma oyster]

in the order you want
pilot > wait 180s > get in plane > move 1 > move 2 > cycle next to move 1

[zenith halo]

thanks so much for help, if u come some times to germany, i will spend u coffee 😊

And if i shoot them (200+) the AI didnt shoot back

[devout laurel]

Really?

Try programming the units to target you, maybe that will solve it.

Then tell em to fire

With triggers

I find in the Ace mod that the enemy will target you from quite a ways away

But it might not relate to Arma 3 or whatever

[acoustic yew]

you can adjust the spotting skill level and if that doesn't work you can use the reveal command

wiki has more info

[sinful zenith]

Hey editor people, ref #arma3_scripting message

You know how units variable's are undefined when the unit isn't spawned (either because probability of presence, or because no player selected the slot and AI is disabled)

How about, we instead initialize all object variables (whether they spawn or not) as objNull to prevent these subtle bugs that can happen.
(Just a few weeks ago I fixed a mission with a broken trigger condition, because with probability of presence in some cases one variable was nil 🤯)

What could this break?

[cloud sparrow]

It could break some missions checking for nil but not for null

Bump mission.sqm format version and do it only in new missions?

your proposal makes sense but I've seen a lot of code in style of

if (!isNil "playerUnit_a") then {
  
};

on the other hand these usually set some stuff on the unit

[quiet plume]

🧠 make it return ctrlNull instead of objNull so the following logic errors out if not checked properly (please don't)

[cloud sparrow]

so it will just do nothing on objNull

[sinful zenith]

Yeah that was my thought. I saw exactly that isNil pattern in #arma3_scripting
Problem is when people use "isNil" as a "is someone slotted in this slot" check specifically.

Bumping format is a good idea. But when you open a old mission and re-save it, the format is bumped automatically, it wouldn't break old missions, but it could break old mission if its re-saved
I'd really want to fix this its the most annoying thing ever

I can add a timestamp of when the mission was created and store that in sqm, like first created. And use that to make it be "only new" ones

[cloud sparrow]

If someone re-saved he works on this, he can fix.

The worst thing always is breaking something where author is gone

[quiet plume]

sounds like a very roundabout, indirect (and probably further-error-prone) way of what sounds like a task for non-autoupdating versioning or, say, explicit preinitPlayerVariables=0/1; flag in sqm

[sinful zenith]

Or store versionNumber of game of when mission was first created. Thats cleaner than timestamp

I ticketed it up, with the version number one it seems clean and safe enough for me

[quiet plume]

still sounds like a non-obvious behaviour, tbh

[sinful zenith]

It would be "All missions created from now on"
Though, it may lead players to think they can update their old missions to that, without recreating them..

[quiet plume]

maybe just .rpt/popup warning for "trying to access the variable that can be there but is not"

[sinful zenith]

that would be a huge change in lots of places

[quiet plume]

"help, i've copied that code from that old mission (or forum post) and that does some stupid things, but when i load the original mission - it's alright!"

although that's kinda already there with waitUntil {nil}

[sinful zenith]

Making the world a better place is so hard

[plain gale]

Would break the Spearhead campaign for example.

Nice idea but 10 years too late I guess.

[quiet plume]

inb4 preinitPlayerVariablesInCurrentScope nulary 🤣

although that would either introduce "non-global globals" or big side effect with all its possible subtle bugs in inherited code

[sinful zenith]

Well so far the only argument against the version number solution is that people copy old code from forum posts and its not working right.
(It probably was already bad code back then because to check if a slot is filled, you have to check isNull too, because the player may disconnect from their slot and it may become empty)

So that doesn't seem like a show stopper

[wind raptor]

What about a description.ext attribute (and a corresponding checkbox in Eden)?

[sinful zenith]

Making it opt-in means you get subtle missbehavior if you forget to check a checkbox.
We could auto enable it for new missions. But then you have all the above mentioned issues anyway. Because if you copy some old code from somewhere and don't know about it, then you also won't know about the checkbox

[wind raptor]

But then it's easier to manually enable it for existing missions.

Or at least a little cleaner than having to edit the game version in mission.sqm.

[dim kindle]

@dim kindle U there? Also name the ied ied

[dim kindle]

Thank you, but there is no other way? I did that before, but when I had more people they would leave the place and take different positions

[crystal bone]

Hold WP they don't move

you have to link trigger to the waypoint previous to the one you want it to activate. Maybe another WP type works too.

[dim kindle]

Thank you for your help, it worked, but I found another way that spawns units when the trigger is activated and then they immediately run without changing the position before

[dim kindle]

ahwhdwahdwah i have another problem i add waypoint for blufor and in half way to this waypoint opfor have to attack blufor and everything is fine but after combat blufor are checking buildings. Whatshould i do to make them go to waypoint?

AI told me that

Change AI Behavior: You can try changing the AI’s behavior to “CARELESS” or “SAFE”. This might help if the issue is that the AI perceives the area as dangerous after combat1.

Use doMove Command: This command orders a unit to move to a specified position. You can place this command in a trigger that activates after combat ends2.

Set Trigger to “Skip Waypoint”: This option causes waypoints that are synced with the trigger to complete once the trigger’s conditions are met2.

Remember, these suggestions may not work in all situations and may require additional adjustments for your specific mission. I hope these suggestions help you solve the problem.``` but i tried everything from that and it doesnt help

[dim kindle]

Why does enemy AI not move? they just stand still until you shoot at them, then they lay down and shoot

[glacial elm]

The vanilla AI is not very eager to move from my experience

Unless you give them waypoints its kinda eh

You always have the option to use LAMBS or similar, that often gets the AI to do more stuff.

[dim kindle]

how do i give them waypoints?

[glacial elm]

In the editor, click a unit, then go to the waypoints tab in the top right. Then just add a waypoint and they'll do whatever the waypoint says.

[dim kindle]

thanks

[obtuse crag]

I have a question about arma modding and do not know where it needs to go.

It's about giving a vehicle a turret from another vehicle.

[dim kindle]

I solved it

[sturdy jolt]

I am trying to add the ability to edit / set an attribute for buildings as part of an editor plugin. I have the following in my config.cpp for the mod. No additional attribute is available for editing.

https://pastebin.com/gXUNqkFu

[plain gale]

You are missing AttributeCategories

[sturdy jolt]

Thank you, I will give that a try.

[quick roost]

Is it possible to spawn a unit over and over again? I'm trying to make a mission where you attack a position held by air assault forces. I want a couple of helicopters to spawn, fly to the location, land, deploy infantry, then take off, leave and de-spawn outside the view distance. I would like this to happen very five to ten minutes or so until you as the attacking force capture the position whereupon the helicopters will stop spawning.

[sturdy jolt]

Corrected and working code included below. Thank you for the help R3vo.

[chilly cave]

Hi,
Could anyone help me make sure the civilians get attacked by all the other factions? I tested with SetFriend and BIS_fnc_taskAttack / taskDefend functions

[prisma oyster]

yes
starting the mission helps see scripting effects

[chilly cave]

When I start the mission, and I shoot at them, nothing happens, they don't defend themselves.
Even with executing this:

west setFriend [civilian, 0];
east setFriend [civilian, 0];```

[haughty verge]

use setRating on each civilian and make it super negative. -1e6

will make everyone hostile to those civilians at all times

[haughty verge]

https://github.com/hypoxia125/Crashpoint.cwr3_poseidon/blob/main/scripts/SCR_RussianWaves.sqf

here's an example

[chilly cave]

It works for me, with player addrating -50000

But, was it possible with all civilians?
If I do this only with "player", it will affect only myself?

[haughty verge]

units civilian apply {
    _x addRating -50000
};

[chilly cave]

Perfect it works ! Thanks !

[bronze forum]

i am having a issue with my AI in my first ever editor mission file.

i createda a simple swipe enemy and evacuate sniper style and gave multiple AI enemy, a path in a village. the problem is here, they are walking their path when i spawn as a friednly close to tehm but jut stand in place in when i spawn farther out.

is it cause of my render distance... like they dont spawn at the start of my simulation so they dont do they path?

[clear pond]

what editor would i use to edit IGUI elements? sorry if this is in the wrong channel i figured this may have more info on the editor itself

[quick roost]

Thanks dude I'll give it a try

[haughty verge]

There's not much copy pasta there for you, but it shows all of the parts that you want when you go to make your own.

[quick roost]

Yeah looks like its just a matter of changing the classname depending on the units I want to spawn

I had the idea of this "Invasion of Grenada" theme

[haughty verge]

It's a little more than that lol. But feel free to ask questions if you need in a pm

[quick roost]

Churr brah. I'd just want to swap out the Soviet Units for other units.

[sturdy jolt]

can one use the onLoad event handler for normal controls with the controls opened in 3DEN to modify custom attributes?

The idea is to set the checkbox for a custom attribute based on the value for the custom atrribute on the object when the atrribute editor is opened.

[sturdy jolt]

What I am not sure about is how you know how to reference the object for which the attribute is being edited

[small patrol]

Not entirely sure what you've done so far, but custom attributes are only regular GUI, so anything a GUI can do is also possible for attributes

[sturdy jolt]

Thank you. I have added the ability to set custom attributes for all objects. Is there a way to identify the object for which the atribute is being edited from within the control?

[small patrol]

get3DENSelected should be the way AFAIK

[sturdy jolt]

got it - that makes perfect sense. thank you

[sturdy jolt]

I am not quite there yet - I am not sure how to add the event handlers to a control for 3DEN. Below is what I tried based on my understanding from the Wiki.

https://pastebin.com/8WHTz07K

[plain gale]

Have you checked the 3den Enhanced repository? It has quite a few examples.

Basically you need onAttributeLoad, onAttributeSave and onLoad. OnLoad is important if you want you attribute to properly work if multiple entities are selected.

[sturdy jolt]

Thank you - I was just not clear how to code that. Your mod has an example that makes it clear though.

[dim kindle]

what is that error message?

[plain gale]

Random script error 🤷

[silver portal]

Does having many hide terrain object impact FPS in multiplayer?

[fallow oxide]

Only improvement would be on the client fps, possibly it would, but you can just have your players turn down how many objects that they are rendering in there settings

[supple holly]

Question Dosent each of the Modules for HideTerrainObject Create a Unit Logic is that more or less expensive the CreateVehicle for invisible helipad ?

[keen jolt]

You can write a script that runs locally and it won't impact the multiplayer performance anymore

[dim kindle]

How do i copy missions to a other profile? SOLVED

[plain gale]

Just copy the mission folder on your hard drive into the new profile folder

[iron night]

If you've started editing a mission with a certain modpack and change it, is there a smart way to adapt the mission to use the new modpack? (So long as you didn't use units/vehicles/equipment from a mod you've removed of course)

[small patrol]

We don't use the term "modpack" for a reason. Do you mean, like, a certain preset of Mods and you want to convert A to B?

[iron night]

Yes exactly, I did that once and it pop up with the list of mods from when the mission was made (I believe) asking me to force load all the mods or ignore it

Or say I start making a mission without having decided on what mods I want to use in the preset for the mission so I start with no mods loaded

Maybe it was a once off, but from what I gathered it remembers what mods you had enabled when you started making it and wants you to keep using those onwards

[small patrol]

Does Force Load satisfy you? I guess not hence the question, but how it doesn't may I ask?

[iron night]

Well it works, but I wonder if it'll 'force' me to use those mods whenever I want to play that mission forever?

[small patrol]

Nop

You can save after you Force Load so required Mods will be updated

[iron night]

Aaaah nice okay

In that case sorry for the noob question, pretty new to the editor hehe

[small patrol]

Noob or not is not a concern

But having a wish to listen to your helpers is

[terse tapir]

How do i make independent forces attack BLUFOR?

[humble zenith]

Hey wondering if there is a way to use a trigger to sync all units to a module, i've been trying to use on activation scripts but i don't remember how it works and can't find a decent answer on google yet /:

to be more specific im trying to make randomly spawned units of any type, sync to modules automatically, so that they can then proceed to a area, location, or marker

atm im trying to sync them to the attack module from cba

[mossy narwhal]

Is there a way to save players last position? if used for multiplayer, im editing on eden editor but me and my buddy are curious if while playing and saving the scenario if when we load back up we dont have to start back at the custom respawn location on base, but load back up where we last saved and with our last loadout we had

[prisma oyster]

no

and don't crosspost

[glacial elm]

Hi, a bit late. In your mission general attributes you can change the stance of indfor with blufor and redfor

[silver portal]

How?

[blazing plume]

On the server I play on, we have an advanced range that's coded by one of our memebrs. I seem to be the anyone having the problem of not being able to register to a lane, I tried verifying the integrity of my game files & playing without client side mods. Anyone got an idea what could cause this?

[haughty verge]

take it up with the person that coded. bet there is an issue with the code somewhere.

[blazing plume]

Already did, there isn't as far as I know.

[halcyon raft]

Okay, I've run into a really strange bug since the last update
Mods haven't changed as I run local versions.
Aircraft are indestructable for some reason

[haughty verge]

check the vehicle with isDamageAllowed to rule out that a script somewhere is changing it and locality changes before it gets turned back on, due to allowDamage needing a local argument.

[halcyon raft]

I don't believe so

Before update they could explode,
After update, they dont

[haughty verge]

remove all mods and try again

[halcyon raft]

Multiple mission files as well

[haughty verge]

figure out if its actually an arma issue, or mod issue

[halcyon raft]

Okay, standby

All mods unloaded

Still an issue

Deleted it

Went again

And it's fine

Still no mods

I think my game might be cooked

[haughty verge]

i was about to recommend making a clean test environment in the virtual map and testing again

[halcyon raft]

That's exactly what I did haha

[haughty verge]

yeah, its probably something to do with those mission files.

if you did a clean mission environment, and its fine, its probably not arma

[halcyon raft]

Spawned the vehicle and a rocket launcher
Fired - Didn't damage it
Closed mission
Deleted object
Replaced object
Fired
Worked fine

[halcyon raft]

Okay

Strange

Manned vehicles explode OK
Unmanned vehicles don't explode

[uneven vale]

Hey guys so im looking for the proper group or channel where someone might be willing to help a noob like me figure out why my mission wont load on host havoc. Not sure if this is the right place for that, and if not hoping someone can point me in the right direction for that.

[granite geode]

im making a pvp map where opfor has 1 life and blufor has infinite, how could i go about doing this? ive tried my hand at my own research but failed like 10 times over

[dim kindle]

It wasn't easy, but I fuzed DayZ with Force Recon...so much fun!

[tall notch]

Hello, I want to run this unlock globally, its currently in a AddAction that only unlocks the crates when I the host fire it, but when other players fire the addAction the crates dont get unlocked, I suspect its because it isnt running on the server or something, even tho its remoteExec, any ideas?

    {
                   [_x,false] remoteExec ["lockInventory", [0] select isDedicated,true];
            } forEach (KEY_Spawn_Positions select 0);

Also, When I run this in the debug console and execute either global or server it works

[small patrol]

Make sure:

• KEY_Spawn_Positions is defined for everyone
• [0] select isDedicated is not needed if is meant to be ran on everyone whatsoever, can be replaced with 0

[long hamlet]

How can I edit a map with .pbo in Eden Editor? i want to change something on the Map for my Server

[viral axle]

I have no idea how to do it, but couldn't you save the person's location to their profilenamespace and then teleport player to that pos on save load?
(Im asking conceptually here, not a how-to actually do it.)

[small patrol]

A profile can store almost anything, so yes possible

[viral axle]

Prob not worth the hassle to write that up just to save a loadout change and teleport to a position.

[small patrol]

One word we need to sort is, you're making a "mission" not a "map/terrain". Arma 3 Tools' BankRev should be able to convert PBO to a folder

[viral axle]

I'm not sure I understand the question.
Do you mean how to edit a missionfile .pbo you got from someone with Eden? You'll have to unpack the pbo first and then edit it with Editor.

[long hamlet]

Yes i mean this i am sorry 😅

[long hamlet]

This is what I have done now, when I want to edit the mission in the Eden Editor because I want to edit something on the map of the mission this error comes up

[long hamlet]

And how can I make the folder I got with BankRev a .pbo file again to upload it to the server?

[viral axle]

Just export to multiplayer. You’ll get a .pbo in the MPMissions folder

[tall notch]

When I do lockInventory on a crate, it can still be opened by pressing i while looking at it, any suggestions?

[tall notch]

{
    [_x,true] remoteExec ["lockInventory", [0, -2] select isDedicated,true];
} forEach (KEY_Spawn_Positions select 0);```

[iron night]

If I give a unit the variable name "POW", how would I write the condition on a trigger to only activate when the "POW" unit enters the trigger?

I was thinking something like this?

[crystal bone]

POW in thisList

[iron night]

Hmm, only works if they're on foot, do you know how to trigger it if they're in a vehicle as well?

[iron night]

Nvm figured it out :) (POW in thisList) || (vehicle POW in thislist)

hello, can someone from poland help me with doing my scenario? i have some i think the most common problems and i cant solve it alone.

[celest chasm]

how i can set up a trigger, when the player enters the trigger, Task is selected to the player?

[plain gale]

Set the trigger activation to "Any Player" and synchronize a "Create Task" module to the trigger.

[celest chasm]

thanks

[plain gale]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2263912981 also this might be helpful

[celest chasm]

oh thanks

idk what im doing wrong but is not working?

[celest chasm]

i walk into the trigger and is not activating

but its sync in to the create task module

Okey i figured it out

[dusky jackal]

hi

dose anyone know how to or any mode can change objective specific in zeus?

this part

[empty oar]

the editor is awesome

[haughty verge]

For the peeps here; What modules would you like to have added to the editor? I will be releasing modules enhanced in a couple of weeks and am opening up the ideas for what you guys would like added.

[plain gale]

Random Patrol attribute. Sync a group to the module and the group will patrol the module's area

[haughty verge]

I think CBA (required) and lambs already cover this

[plain gale]

Well, if you wanna only create things that have not yet been covered then it's going to be a tough one.

Optons are good tbh

And the CBA one requires scripting IIRC

[haughty verge]

All righty I'll add it to the list

[late zephyr]

I am trying to take the vanilla AK and give it a gold texture, anyone got some info guides etc?

[small patrol]

It is not done by Editor but a Mod, specifically, texture, material, config and proper pack software into PBO

[iron night]

If I set Trigger to activate for "Anybody", how do I refer to each player/unit entering the trigger? As far as I understand if you've set it to "Any Player" then you'd refer to them as player setCaptive true;

[haughty verge]

what are you wanting to do in the end

[iron night]

I want all units in a helicopter with the variable "opforHeli" to be marked as captive when the heli enters a trigger and set them as NOT captive once it exits the trigger

Hmm, maybe this is better?

The goal is to make it seem like Independent units in the helicopter are undercover while in a specific OPFOR territory

Nope that didn't work..

[haughty verge]

change activation to "anybody" and keep everything else the same

[iron night]

I did and it works when you enter or leave the trigger area, now I just need it to setCaptive true if a unit gets in the helicopter or setCaptive false when they leave it, looking at doing a while loop inside On Activation

[haughty verge]

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

opforHeli addEventHandler ["GetIn", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret"];

    [_unit, true] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
}];

opforHeli addEventHandler ["GetOut", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret", "_isEject"];

    [_unit, false] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
}];

you can add additional checks to filter out just players, etc

no need for a loop

or trigger

[iron night]

Oooh okay

In the Init part on the helicopter?

[haughty verge]

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret"];

    [_unit, true] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
}];

this addEventHandler ["GetOut", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret", "_isEject"];

    [_unit, false] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
}];

if you want to use the init box

actually, sec, have to account for remote argument, one sec

there

[iron night]

I would also need it to only set captive on units that are not OPFOR, maybe this?

if (side group _unit != "opfor") then {
  [_unit, true] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
  "You are now undercover." remoteExec ["hint", _unit];
};

[haughty verge]

side group _unit

[iron night]

How come I need to add group?

[haughty verge]

because the group side doesn't change. the side of the unit can actually change while the group remains the original (deaths, captivity, etc). its just better to use it.

[iron night]

So this should work?

[haughty verge]

change "opfor" to east or opfor

[iron night]

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret"];

  if (side group _unit != opfor) then {
    [_unit, true] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
    "You are now undercover." remoteExec ["hint", _unit];
  };
}];

this addEventHandler ["GetOut", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret", "_isEject"];

  if (side group _unit != opfor) then {
    [_unit, false] remoteExec ["setCaptive", _unit];
    "You are no longer undercover." remoteExec ["hint", _unit];
  };
}];

Very impressive if it works, gonna test now

That's god damn brilliant, thank you very very much

[haughty verge]

should add an undercover system to my module mod... this gets asked enough to warrant it

[iron night]

Hmm, any way to lock a building/object in the editor so that Zeus can't manipulate it when you play the mission?

Like decorative objects or buildings, so that they can only move/modify units and vehicles?

[white moth]

I know that some things can be made simple objects making them unusable, though remember that making something a simple object will mean you won’t be able to open/close it, there may be other ways too but that’s the only one I know of

[thorn apex]

how do i make a ai vehicle move like on a path

[thorn apex]

nvm

[haughty verge]

[kind prism]

Zeus mods may add them to the zeus interface anyway. With Zeus enhanced you can remove objects by selection or radius.

[amber vault]

Is there any way to get the AI to fire a missile in a particular flight profile? Like direct vs top down, or even use some of the Hellfire modes in the case of some RHS assets

[kind prism]

You can try with this command https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/forceWeaponFire. #arma3_scripting if you need more help with it.

[amber vault]

ty!

[pastel python]

How would i make AI only shoot players with guns displayed or in certain vehicles? Thanks 🙂

So....

I should set them as Captive unless they are holding a gun or in certain vehicles

TAG_fnc_captiveCheck = {
    params ["_unit"];
    _unit setCaptive true;

    waitUntil {currentWeapon _unit != ""};

    _unit setCaptive false;
    {_x reveal [_unit,4]} forEach (_unit nearEntities 25);
};

player spawn TAG_fnc_captiveCheck;```

[wraith spear]

how do you open up a mission sqm from a mission you've downloaded? I downloaded hearts and minds off of github but i only have the mission.pbo

[fickle forge]

You need to unpack the PBO

[wraith spear]

i'm assuming you need a third party program for that

[fickle forge]

PBO Manager

[wraith spear]

yeah that's what i suspected

You can disable pathing in the AI traits

[quick roost]

Has anything changed with Arma waypoints? I've been trying for a few hours to work out why the crew of my air assault helicopters are disembarking with the infantry.

I've got the crews set to their own leader with the leader having a "Move" waypoint set to Careless, a "Transport Unload" waypoint and then another Move waypoint after that. The infantry have a "Get Out" waypoint synced to activate on the transport unload. In the past I've done this the helicopters have landed, the infantry have disembarked, then the helicopters flew away to safety. However the aircraft are landing, shutting down and the crew are disembarking. Its weird.

[spice lynx]

Do you guys also get the crash when syncing a trigger to a vehicle?

I get some kind of access violation error. It might just be me since I haven't found anything (yet) on the feedback tracker.

[agile ingot]

is the helo crew (pilot/gunner etc.) grouped to the infantry?

[opaque token]

Do you have mods loaded?

[quick roost]

Nope.

[spice lynx]

Nope

[agile ingot]

Does your setup look like this?

[spice lynx]

I installed dev with gameupdater next to vanilla

When I sync a trigger to a manned veh it is synced to the group leader , when it is empty it crashes

[opaque token]

Well report it then

[white moth]

Are you using modded helis?

[quick roost]

Yeah exactly like that.

[quick roost]

No just RHS Mi-8s

[white moth]

Hm, and all the heli crew are getting out? Including the pilot?

[quick roost]

I've used them before in the exact same way.

Yeah its really weird I dont understand it either.

They are not grouped to the Squad Leader of the infantry.

[white moth]

Check when they land are the helis taking any damage, that can cause crew to disembark, also are they landing under fire?

[quick roost]

The aircraft will follow its waypoints up to the Transport Unload. It will land, the infantry will get out, but the crew will too. They'll ignore their next move waypoint and just charge into battle with their little Makarovs lol.

I've set them to careless so they ignore enemy fire. But most of the time they don't take any.

I'm wondering if LAMBs has anything to do with it.

[white moth]

It could

[quick roost]

I've done this same exact thing with LAMBs in the past though.

[white moth]

Are you using any other AI mods?

[quick roost]

No just LAMBs

Oh and DCO but that shouldn't matter

I've tried without them

I'm not sure what's causing it.

[white moth]

Yeah, try testing it on a totally flat piece of terrain to ensure it’s not landing strange and breaking, or check its health after it lands, sometimes something on the heli breaks because some piece of terrain and then the crew decides they don’t want their heli anymore

[quick roost]

I had to put down invisible helipads for them because they were struggling a bit.

[agile ingot]

try switching the sync direction, not sure if that does something or just placebo. Otherwise idk

[spice lynx]

Jupp I will. Just posted it here first, to rule out that the error is caused by me. No need to spam the feedback tracker :)

[quick roost]

Yea

Might try that

[dim kindle]

search the feedback tracker maybe someone reported it

[opaque token]

"I get some kind of access violation error. It might just be me since I haven't found anything (yet) on the feedback tracker."

[pastel python]

Would this affect every Unit or just a single one and where do i find AI traits

[pastel python]

Check heli doesnt take damage, they arent under fire, they are set to careless and the likes

Someone already said that

lol i am too stupid to read :P

[grim scaffold]

in eden editor, or zeus, how do i make an artillery unit a support that i can use in my command tab, where you give commands like move here, hold fire, supports, and then once you go into supports you can choose artillery

i want to spawn an artillery unit that does this but without having to make the artillery unit under my direct command

just as a support unit if that makes sense

additionally, how do i link two or more units's "enemy/friendly spotting positions" instead of just one team unit sharing this info? or is this not possible? thanks in advance 👍

[pastel python]

place a unit (player), place a support request module (in the options set Artillery from -1 to 1 or more "artillery requests", place a artillery support module (virtually) sync the unit to support request module, sync the artillery support module (virtually) to the support request module press ^ ingame and open communication to request artillery

[pastel python]

Can't help on this though, i think that would be scripting

[grim scaffold]

yeah im pretty sure that one isn't in the game

and maybe try data links?

[pastel python]

Why AI so dumb? They tried to roll over an umbrella and got flung

[grim scaffold]

yeah i've always felt arma's default AI is very very bad.

always thought of this concept in my head of a mod based on machine learning AI

where units are given as much information as possible and try to preform the best-guess actions etc

like a trained AI model that would run under inference

not even sure if that would be possible/practical though

[pastel python]

Oh

Im not sure that would be practical

[grim scaffold]

with just a few individual units the inference computational cost would probably be minimal, but 10+ bots, yeah you'd start getting pretty expensive computationally on the CPU.

but on a high end GPU, the inference speed and vram requirements may actually be practical performance

don't have a 4090 to test that on though.

You know amazon alexa

that sucks right

yet has hundreds of thousands of hours of training

i made a DRL program for Trackmania

[grim scaffold]

bad microphone or bad AI, shit happens

have you seen whisper AI? i've had a ukrainian rate the quality and he said it was manual translation quality.

[pastel python]

It took 250+ hours to beat the world record

[grim scaffold]

there can be bad AI, never said there couldn't

[pastel python]

except it had very very few possible controls

Arma 3 AI would have a few hundred, maybe thousand, possible controls

checking that every few seconds for one ai is fine

imagine a nice old convoy of roughly 60 soldiers

[pastel python]

-1 fps

[grim scaffold]

and take a guess at how many possible controls that audio file has

for context, this was processed on my 10600k in 1.5 hours

not even GPU inference.

manual translation quality.

[pastel python]

Lmao

53 seconds in

What a nice convo

[grim scaffold]

oh yeah they have some profanities in there

it's especially good at being accurate with the profanities

should probably censor that a little, lol

since it is combat footage, albeit censored

[pastel python]

Look both ways when your crossing

[spice lynx]

so i have created a issue on the feedback tracker.

[pastel python]

No chat?
