Are there any other ways to do this? as this method is not working

small patrol
#

Write a code

jade rock
#

yeah I dont know how to do that

#

I just turned the spotlight on its side

small patrol
#

It does mean you wrote a code, and I don't know what you've wrote so what is the issue

cinder blade
#

how do i make a civilian sit in a vehicle, i somehow did it before but idk how as i didn't do anything

prisma oyster
#

you can drag & drop him on the vehicle

cinder blade
prisma oyster
#

maybe there are people in there already

cinder blade
#

there's 2 people, a driver and a passenger but there's 3 seats i think

prisma oyster
#

try yourself getting in it

#

or try removing one guy and drag & dropping the civilian

cinder blade
#

How would I make redfor attack civilians

prisma oyster
#

tell them civilians insulted their mothers!

#

make an independent unit, join civilians to it, delete the leader, you will have civilians as independents
they will be shot on sight. if you need them not targetable at first you will need scripting, setCaptive

oh, ty

how do i make it rain and change time, its my first time using the mission editor so i don't know what I'm doing much lol

I have a briefing tent composition that had a couple of Land_PortableDesk_01_sand_F items and in the editor I go into the attributes select Hide lid #1 and #2 and also hide left wing.
Works perfectly until I put it on the server and then those items unhide.
how can I avoid this, or is it a case of finding another asset to replace it?

#

Could it be because I have sim disabled on it and made it a simple object?

prisma oyster

#

how do i make multiple people in the same group but if i give one of them a move WP only that one follows it, instead of the entire group

plain gale
#

Not possible

#

Waypoints apply to the whole group

cinder blade
#

oh

cinder blade
#

question, why can't i get a vehicle to move to somewhere with move waypoints, i gave move waypoints to a group and they aren't moving

haughty verge
cinder blade

#

whats the distance between waypoints. if its too large, it takes a while for them to path it. but typically the issue is that the leader is the driver.

Is there anyway to make a loadout that you made for a player stay after they respawn? Like, Bluefor has no access to RPG-7s, but I need them to have RPGs for the scenario, but it will go away after the player respawns - how do I avoid that?

scarlet crystal
#

check "save loadout" option in scenario attributes. Don't remember if it's vanilla setting or only with Eden Enhanced

echo junco
#

I think that's Eden Enhanced, unless you're referring to the "Save Loadout" which just the created loadout to your Arsenal loadout list

hey, anyone aware on how to make a safe zone? just something that doesnt let people shoot around during spawn - not looking for anything fancy

scarlet crystal

don't fly near the vics

#

kill them before they kill you
remove their ammo
fly 5km altitude
set yourself captive by script

#

Is it ever safe to place objects outside the map borders?

prisma oyster
#

why not

#

the AI won't move outside the terrain iirc, but that's about it

#

also, some scripts/frameworks only cover the whole terrain and nothing else

Hello, does anyone here know if this is normal if I remove a building in the editor and place a vehicle there instead, which then explodes when I start it like that in the MP? When I test it in editor sp the car stays there and doesn't explode.

It sounds like a configuration problem, or mod conflict to me 🤷
If VComAI works worse than vanilla AI, then you did something terribly wrong.

Although we use LAMBS because it's easier to setup (and causes less issues with Zeus and HC's)

Hey! I'm new to arma 3 eden. I've recently started doing Eden editor and really enjoy it! But I want to add more 'Lore' to my missions. I want my Ai when killed, drops Documents/Logbooks about recent activity defining their situation and how they got there. Anyways getting to the point, I'm trying to use the Intel Modules but I can't seem to get them working. I want this document to have certein text that reveal parts of the story for the players to grab but I can't get it to stay out of current task at start of the mission. I tried the Dairy Record but that wasn't working at all and I've tried my best searching it on Google with no luck at all. Here is what I want to happen, I want the players to kill the AI then grab the documents, which then reveals snipits of the lore but I can't get it to work like that at all.

# hexed obsidian Hey! I'm new to arma 3 eden. I've recently started doing Eden editor and really ...

"I can't seem to get them working" "that wasn't working at all" you need to give us a bit more detail how this stuff didn't work for you because possibilities are numerous. It will be easier if you just tell how did you implement either of your ideas. IIRC intel module is designed for objects that are placed in thhe world rather than in unit inventory, can't say what's wrong with diary records becaus it works just fine, but you probably have a wrong trigger or condition for it to appear

#

easiest way to do this would be to create an addAction or holdAction on dead unit, and upon interaction it creates a new diary section with your diary record

how to find trees in eden objects?

#

Vegetation is not in eden editor sadly.

#

You'd need to use a mod for that.

scarlet crystal
#

or spawn them with a script, like the Big Alien Hole from Contact DLC, I think trees are configured in the same way (as in hidden in editor but placeable objects)

#

Most of them don't have config. You could create them as simple object.

@small patrol So using your single player cheat menu, I see I can use Zeus and change the loadouts of people mid game.

#

However is there a way to like paste it to multiple characters? Context I am playing a scenario and wanna paste the loadout on multiple guys.

#

Using the Ace Arsenal is there anyway to change a uniform on an entire group at once without changing the rest of the loadout?

I mean not with Arsenal, you can use scripts for that

#

Lame, but okay - guess Ill just do it manually.

for those who do the eden editor for themselves in sp, what do you do to make it fun for yourself? it isnt a big problem to me that limits fun but like since i make the mission myself and i play it, i know whats going to be happening in it

prisma oyster
#

randomisation, or expected challenge 😏

haughty frost
#

man i came back to this game with a new rig i7-13700 and still get 30 fps when combat hits

#

my fps specifically plummets if AI units on ground spot an enemy heli overhead

#

any way to prevent this with scripting?

#

like i had 4 groups of 8 vs 4 groups of 8, and 2 APC's in combat, that by itself keeps my fps at 50 +

small patrol
#

Remove AI Mods if you have

haughty frost
#

AS SOON AS HELI FLIES OVERHEAD....sub 30.

#

noting to do with mods

#

iv got 5000 hours in editor

#

im not new

small patrol
#

Do you mean it's an vanilla issue

haughty frost
#

did test with no mods ofcourse,same issue

#

yes vanilla arma

#

id like to understand it so i can tweak something

small patrol
#

Can you share how is your mission/setup

haughty frost
#

im assuming combat behaviour gets the cpu working hard as ALL units on ground are may targeting,spotting or just reacting to the attack heli flying by

haughty frost
# small patrol Can you share how is your mission/setup

yes, molos town on altis... 4 NATO 8 man groups on one side to east with with wp's to molos town centre, 4 CSAT 8 man groups on one side to west with same wp's( meeting engagement) ... two vehicles on either side on a gaurd wp 1km away in their respective directions east and west

#

one attack heli NATO on molos airfield on gaurd wp

#

this is a small scenario iv ran for 8 years

small patrol
#

It's better if you can zip the mission and share

haughty frost
#

always just infantry and two vics. always buuter smooth even ion old rig...i74790.. new rig i7-13700 with gives 30 fps higher in yaab still has issues when helo introduced to the scenario

haughty frost
#

have the sqm ready

small patrol
#

If the sqm is the only file you have in the mission, yeah it would work

haughty frost
#

it is yes

#

it was created with mods initially ...however it can be ran without mods and iv done so

#

unsure how i upload it here

small patrol
haughty frost
#

cheers,waiting verification

#

just copy n paste sqm right here?

small patrol
#

File itself

thats it

#

if you load it, you can remove the helo and play the short scenario for refernece of fps. then re add the helo with a gaurd wp to see the difference

Hey! I'm a bit confused.. and hopefully people can explain.. I got a group, in a vehicle that has the waypoint "Get Out". They move around a compound for a little bit, get back into the vehicle (Get In Nearest) and move further. But.. for whatever reason the waypoints disappear after a bit. And I don't understand why, is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? There are 10 waypoints into total and they cover a distance of about 3km in that

#

yes GAIA is having the effect,even if not used on the unit in question

#

when is GAIA initilising?

#

you have init.sqf and description set up i assume

#

im sure if you remove all instance of GAIA the issue will resolve itself

#

with GAIA/MCC you can totally forget about scripted waypoint usage in any capacity

#

i do not recommend using either anymore period

verbal igloo
#

Are there other options that are more updated for caching units?

#

I’m using this in a MP setting and found it useful from someone else mission in my community.

#

So there aren’t, Zeus can take over these units for just that point. That’s not a biggie either

haughty frost
verbal igloo
#

Is that module vanilla? Or a mod?

haughty frost
#

also...that leader cache script is buggy. sometimes group spawns far back from leaders pos.

haughty frost
#

cbe cache is old but still good,though i havent used in years u may need to read up

#

"show/hide" module is one module with two settings " show" and "hide" synced to group leader (hide) and also synced to group leader "show" and the show is also synced to a trigger

#

to virtualise them so to speak

#

the defaul "dynamic simulation " setting is useful too

verbal igloo
#

Cheers! I'll have a look once I'm back behind my pc again and check them out instead. Takes away another task from the Zeus to focus on other things in the mission.

Show/Hide modules

Hi checked Google for this one and no luck. I am looking for a short guide on the modules, Show/Hide. I am using UPS (Urban Patrol Script) in several areas and to avoid too much hassle with FPS I need to have a show/hide modules on the groups that are within the UPS Marker. I did this before but ...

#

you can sync show/hide module to many groups and vehicles at once for faster mission design

#

i usually have a group set to show when X group has less than 1 man

#

its how i do wave attacks etc

#

new group "spawns" when needed...purely vanilla module no need for outdated scripts

verbal igloo
#

Yea, this looks pretty solid. and does the same thing. Just means a bit more triggers placed I guess. Since Gaia is basing it on distance to the group no?

haughty frost
#

yes gaia bases it on by default distance,but you should know gaia transport is totally broken too

verbal igloo
haughty frost
#

gaia with basic features works ok IF you plan to never create any wp's,and instead just use zones to let all AI groups have full independence to operate

verbal igloo
#

Only thing that comes to mind, is that you'd need multiple triggers if you want to load in the entities staggered instead of all at once to reduce lag?

haughty frost
#

hetman AI / rydiger is a better high command ai similar to gaia zones

#

here is a mission i published with HETMAN updated. it allows you to use high command from vanilla game to conduct your forces,and with radio command grant them full autonomy to proceed to objectives by themselves,then lets you take them back under your control at any time...you can de pbo to understand it if you like

haughty frost
#

old system i74790

verbal igloo
#

Great! Thanks very much for the info.. extremely useful.

#

Im gonna have a look at your mission to get extra knowledge about it once I'm back at home

haughty frost
#

you can also hide mission objects with show hide btw. pretty good if you have a detailed object placement area. i tend to enable simualtion false/simple object for everything anyway

haughty frost
#

as its area capturing/enemy removal obj's mainly

verbal igloo
#

Just checked it again without GAIA and yea.. that was the issue..

Thanks for that suggestions

mighty flume

Does anyone know if there is a function which can make it so an object will not be culled if it's not in view?

IE forcing it to render for a player, even if it's considered outside of their view?
I'm currently using a sphere object from O&T that allows for an internal texture, thus acting like a skybox for all intents.

The primary issue is that because I have the object scaled up, the behavior for its rendering isn't as desired.
At default scale of 1, it'll be just fine even if the center point isn't in view.
However when scaled up, when looking away from the center of the object, such it'll visually cull.

small patrol
#

If setFeatureMode doesn't work, I don't believe there is a way. It's more of model thing

mighty flume
#

Unfortunately no. That is something I actually did alter first. Since for performance reasons, I'd be recommending players to have view distance increased, but a reduced object distance.

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

I gotta get expert insight on this. I created a mission, with triggers set to complete a task (Hold Action on prop, then delay for 15-20 minutes and then finish the task). Tested it out with shorter times (10 to 60 seconds) on SP, worked fine. Tested it out on MP from Editor, works fine.. Packed the mission into a PBO, loaded it up on the server.. no luck. Where or what is a mistake I could have made? I selected the "Server Only" option in the trigger.

yeah what i meant was correct, was just confirming and understaning it

#

wow

so i can keep adding waypoints onto waypoints like this within a marker

#

oh no im thinking of something else. POLPOX, can you help me understand,how i can repeat waypoints indefinetly for a group within a marker radius?

small patrol
#

What do you mean

haughty frost
#

so if a group COMPLETES a wp via the original code, the code regenerates again

#

so when this complete:

#

heliGroup= group H;
randomPoint= selectRandom ["Mark1", "Mark2"];

_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 222];
_wp setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_wp setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
heliGroup setBehaviour "Aware";

#

at position they arrive to, run same code again

#

basically i wana make a random patrol inside a marker area that lasts forever

#

generating random positions each time, kind of like the cba task search area module

other than that i need alot more context as to your issue

#

The "get in" wp is specifically for vehicles and static turrets, contextually placed,a get in wp will order a unit into a vehicle,starting as driver,gunner,commander,or as passengers if the vic in question already has crew

#

"get in nearest" will order units into the nearest empty vehicle within 50 meters

#

if your issue is your own squad needing to be on the roof,then select a member,look at the building and you will see grey writing with "position #3 " etc, appear,this denotes the position you can send that unit to. all properly classed buildings have positions,usually beside windows

AI by default cant and never will(even in arma4 most likely) move to a roof that has no pos,and enter a helo

also a helo needs safe ground to land

you get around this sometimes by using a helipad

The Helicopter lands perfectly fine at the moment cause I put down the helicopter, its just getting the AI to the roof.

guys i m trying to add random wp's to a group

#

the problem is its only working IF squad leader (named qrf3) is alive

#

heliGroup= group qrf3;
randomPoint= selectRandom ["Mark1", "Mark2"];

_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 500];
_wp setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_wp setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
heliGroup setBehaviour "Aware";
_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 500];
_wp setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 500];
_wp setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 500];
_wp setwaypointtype "CYCLE";

#

if he dies this doesnt apply to rest of the group. i tried naming group variable name qrf3 but then i get an error when trying to run this,seems its looking for a unit

haughty frost

nevermind i figured it out:

#

randomPoint= selectRandom ["Mark1", "Mark2"];

_wp = qrf3 addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 500];
_wp setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_wp setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
qrf3 setBehaviour "Aware";

guys question about countdown min max mid

#

i know from what i read,that the "mid" is the number that the trigger will fire upon/or waypoint, most often... so 100 seconds min, 150 mid, 200 max, the condition will usually fire very close to 150, correct so far?

#

so maybe 155, or 140 etc

#

is it possible to set it up from say 10 minutes to 2 hours without it gravitating towards a "mid" number? and instead it being totallly random?

small patrol
#

Below the Countdown and Timeout buttons you will see three boxes; Min, Max and Mid. These define the period of trigger activity in seconds between the Min and Max values, gravitating towards the Mid value. If all three are set to 10, then the period would be 10 seconds, with no randomness. If Min was 5, Max was 15 and Mid 10, the period would be somewhere between 5 and 15 seconds, most likely being close to 10.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/2D_Editor:_Triggers

haughty frost
#

i theorise that a mid at "0" might achieve this but im not sure

haughty frost
#

im asking if theres a way to avoid it gravitating to mid setting

#

"most likely close to 10" as you wrote is what i want to avoid

small patrol
#

So you want a linear randomization instead of normal distribution

haughty frost
#

exactly

small patrol
#

I would say write in Condition directly

haughty frost
#

units will have show hide module and gaurd wp's throughout a 2 hour OP. I want them to unhide and move out totally at random times within 2 hrs

small patrol
#

Likesqf time > (random 60) + 60This condition will fire in 1 minute or 2 minutes

haughty frost
#

ohh so i set sort of like an array of options

#

Like```sqf
time > (random 60) + 60 + 100 + 120 + 140 + 160

#

am i understanding correct?

small patrol
#

Not sure where 100 + 120 + 140 + 160 came from and its intention

haughty frost
#

condition fires at one of those times

#

i thought thats how it works

sinful zenith
small patrol
#

Yeah meant that

sinful zenith
#

But it generates different random numbers every time.
And if that condition is checked every frame, it will basically be "just over 1 minute"

small patrol
#

Mgh, true

haughty frost
#

ok so Likesqf time > (random 60) + 600 will actually be TOTALLY random between 1 min and 10 mins. no gravitating to 5 mins?

sinful zenith
haughty frost
#

Likesqf time > (random 600) + 60 is random from 1 to 10 mins?

small patrol
#
  1. Define a random number
  2. Let the trigger happen when the time reaches the number

Or simply just

  1. sleep random 60
haughty frost
#

can i use sleep on a trigger?

small patrol
#

No

sinful zenith
#

I don't know how to do that, with just a trigger in editor

small patrol
#

You can just use a spawn or such script instead of trigger

sinful zenith
#

How does the trigger activate? via being synced to a waypoint? Or does it run a on-activation script?

#

Or I mean what does the trigger activate

haughty frost
#

condition true

sinful zenith
#

and what does the trigger trigger?

#

enable a waypoint by being synced to it, and make a AI group move?

haughty frost
#

it is synced to the "show/hide" module. in this case "show"

#

group has a move,then gaurd wp after simulating

sinful zenith
#

I got an idea

#

I'll be back in a few minutes

haughty frost
#

awesome thanks man take your time

sinful zenith
#

Do you know how to do init.sqf ?

haughty frost
#

yes i understand init.sqf

sinful zenith
#

Okey then we can do it with a function that'll be easier

#

init.sqf:

TriggerTimerMap = createHashMap;
TriggerTimer = {
  params ["_timerName", "_minTime", "_maxTime"];
  private _triggerTime = TriggerTimerMap getOrDefaultCall [_timerName, { _minTime + random (_maxTime - _minTime) }, true];
  time > _triggerTime
};

Then in your trigger condition you put
["TimerName", 60, 600] call TriggerTimer

TimerName needs to be unique for each timer. You can use that to have multiple triggers fire on the same timer if you want.
Then minimum time and max time.
So this will trigger between 1 minute and 10 minutes, using a uniform distribution

#

trigger time is always relative to mission start though.
Could also build something that allows for the start time to be mid-mission

haughty frost
#

so this is only applicable at mission start? and trigger name has to be unique and tigger named such

#

i mean yeah suits the need here perfectly

#

il run a few tests right away

#

cheers,id never have heard of this function as it doesnt even sound related to the issue

sinful zenith
#

Name of the trigger is irrelevant

#

its the name of the "timer"

haughty frost
#

jusr paramaters got it

#

this is actually better than any way i was going to do it,means i can create an init.sqf template for all missions with this need

#

sweet il load up and start testing,cheers!

#

question

#

trigger con must be true also correct?

#

or is it irrelevant since you said it starts at mission start. just curious

#

also is it possible to use this on a initPlayerLocal.sqf so ican avoid congesting my init.sqf?

sinful zenith
#

["TimerName", 60, 600] call TriggerTimer That is the new condition
You don't need to do an extra "true"

haughty frost
#

got it

sinful zenith
haughty frost
#

if its for single player??

sinful zenith
#

oh then it doesn't matter

haughty frost
#

lovely

haughty frost
# sinful zenith oh then it doesn't matter

Created initplayerlocal.sqf and ran the code with a trigger synced to a show module and hide/show synced to the vehicle,with the trigger con set as you wrote. all worked great and results after 6 tests with a time of 1 to 300 or one minute to 5 minutes were:

#

2:16 / 2:02 / 4:55 / 4:33 / 0:15 / 3:44

seems to work perfectly

# spark cedar What are you using it for ? Might be a better question

i have an enemy force, and to save performance i am "hiding"them to save resources..it disables simulation and visibility freeing cpu and gpu. and essentially this function will "spawn" them in for lack of better word,or unhide them. they then go to a waypoint, "move" then "gaurd" where upon they are called on via the vanilla gaurd wp behaviour to engage known about enemies at the last spotted location. So i want them to do this over the course of 2-3 hours. My previous method was unhiding groups as needed when one before it died...but,that was a bad method as units get stuck sometimes,dont always die,therefore new group would never "sho"/"spawn"

spark cedar
haughty frost

thing is the vanilla trigger min mid max countdown timers gravitate to mid. which is useless imo for anything really random. i feel like making mid to be 0 should enable total random timer

#

so on activation i can add some random waypoints within a zone marked with marker called AO, (there are two AO references,it selects one at random,but because in this instance i want one zone i just let it select either ,no difference)

#

it cycles,and then they continue. i actually use this on a radio trigger(repeatable) for my Battalion when i want them to be autonomous,and then issue commands through high command when i want to control their movements again,then call radio trigger to once again let them attack the zones..once a zone is cleared,i setmarkerpos to a new zone via objective complete condition and the whole force generates new wp's in the next zone.

# 
// heliGroup= group HQRF1;    
randomPoint= selectRandom ["AO", "AO"];    
    
_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos randomPoint, 800];    
_wp setwaypointtype "TR UNLOAD";    
_wp setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";    
heliGroup setBehaviour "Aware";    
_wp = heliGroup addWaypoint [position del, 0];

randomPoint= selectRandom ["AO", "AO"];

_wp setwaypointtype "GUARD";   
_wp setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";   
heliGroup setBehaviour "Aware";
hint "good!";

You provide the timer name inside the trigger condition's code.

you can have different triggers

but you don't need to copy anything in init.sqf

hey hello! I got a question. I'm trying to make an ai unit disembarking an helicopter (the kopter got a path recorded with unitcapture). the group start to disembark when the kopter land but after a short time they begin to reembark (they take 3 shoots from far away and they are like "no, not for me i'm going back to my house").

prisma oyster
#

question where 🦧

delicate osprey
#

yup just see i didn't ask the question. How can i force them to not reembark? (i have try "crew _vehiclename allowGetIn false;" but it does nothing in my situation)

prisma oyster
#

you would need to unassign them
how do you get them to disembark, a waypoint?

delicate osprey
#

i was trying the 3rd example in the first link. the order of disembarking is given when the helicopter enter a trigger zone but i think i give to much order for disembarking (helicopter got order to unload troop, unit inside got also order to get out and there is the trigger zone with the script to eject the unit)

prisma oyster
#

the unload troop + get out waypoints should be synchronised, just in case
and it should be enough for units not wanting to get back in… as long as troops and heli are in two different groups

delicate osprey
#

can i remove the trigger zone and just use waypoints? as the helicopter cannot adjust his position with his path recorded (i dont know if the waypoint has a tolerence about the position)

prisma oyster
#

there is a tolerance, for helicopters it's ~50m iirc

#

if you don't need a trigger, drop it and let waypoints do their job yes
I also fixed unassignVehicle's example, as there was a risk peeps would already be out before forbidding them to get in

So I'm new to the editing thing and was just fucking around with making a scenario at Altis's main airfield. I'm thinking of setting up AAs around it using CIWS and the RIM, problem is, do those placement make sense? I saw vids of ciws used to protect embassies but nothing about RIMs

small patrol

"Make sense" is not a concern if you just want to enjoy around. Possible or not is, nothing is stopping you

#

If you want a IRL document or something to get inspired, guess Google is better friend to ask

torpid nebula
#

gotcha, thank you

small patrol
#

Technically or realistically speaking though, Praetorian CIWS or Phalanx IRL is AFAIK a standalone system to do its job, while MIM missiles are not, they have to be connected with more complex system and multiple vehicles/computers

#

So it could make sense to put an G2A missile sysyem if you're going to put your protection in a very long time. Otherwise, like an FOB that is operated by US Army and others, they really stick to C-RAMs, that's what I understand with those systems

#

Is there something I'm doing wrong? It feels obvious, but I'm an absolute newb.

What is aaa_1 here? Do you define anything in that variable?

There is a marker with the variable name aaa_1.

lapis chasm

deleteMarker and (almost?) every marker commands require a string to specify the marker you want

how do i make multiple ai get off a vehicle at once

haughty frost

your group? high command croup? editor placed?

uhhh

everyone in a vehicle

#

get out in groups

#

editor placed

haughty frost
#

using waypoints right?

#

pre placed editor wp's?

#

( vanilla arma has no landing craft im aware of) However its still doable. Transport unload = all units as cargo exit a crewed vehicle. "Get out" = if said group was the only group in the vehicle they will all exit

haughty frost
#

multiple AI getting out at once is outside the scope of the engine unless you script it

#

they disembark one by one

#

ima be honest i went to chatgpt for the first few times and it somehow scripted it to work but not work

#

they got out in groups of up to four but i always got errors

even though its basically just a giant computer im so confused as to how it can be so bad and good at the same time

you can for example use commands like MoveinCargo which can teleport all units of a group into vehicle at same time though it is teleporting,same can most likely be done for removing them though i never tried.

fair enough. so this site above is wrong

No?

It is just how it is defined, and just one way to do

0-1 or 0-255, they're not so different. If you want to convert 255 to 1, just R/255

#

Arma 3 just uses 0-1 in general, that's just it

haughty frost

ok i understand. im havig issues finding any type of converter of RGBA online that is a low number. you said "define" it. how to do so?

small patrol

?

haughty frost

so its just a 0.22 for example?

small patrol
#

255/255 = 1, 128/255 = 0.5, 1/255 = 0.003 you can just use a simple math

Okay so intention to use Eden Editor is more cinematic/artistic purpose?

random mural

Ye

small patrol
#

First of, try what Eden Editor offers and what is the purpose of Eden. As you already know it is a tool to mission making. Making some artistic scene is not the purpose (yeah I know, I made a few Mods to do it anyways) but it certainly can

#

The game is, it is a pure sandbox environment. Of course there could be a problem or limitation, but what you see in someone's gameplay, it's possible

haughty frost

seriously though,make an idea for a template general mission structure,and in it,decide when and where you want to show some cinematic instances, break a simple mission up like that,for a start. if you can imagine it,its possible.

if friendly inf die at kamino,they dont know, if typeof is car,they dont know..if its type of tank,they do know and start going into combat mode. No mods

no AI skill modifiers to spot distance. 50%

i originally thought its a feature of High command to share info,but i tested and it isnt

tested in non modded,clean map. this shouldnt be happening

Better to share your mission.sqm

its view distance

is it normal?

not object,just view distance.

so AI within set view distance(5000) for example, will know about friendly vic getting destroyed

any vehicle?

not cars

there is a example. set your view distance to 5000, obj to whatever

then reduce View distance to 2000 , observe again. friendly groups wont go into combat and report tanks

haughty verge
haughty frost
# haughty verge So ENH is great because it stores scripting within attributes so that it doesn't...

ahh i see. yeah it was a long shot, and infact i applied many types of scripts to get groups into building positions dynamically... the actual end result was that even if i find one that suits,the AI pathing is less than reliable and infact those positions in buildings,while being useful for a preplaced situation(and static 90% of time units) more often than not cause AI to get stuck. Stairs,ladders,even steps or doorways. And emphasising on that..if a unit is in a pos in building,gets wounded,and S leader tells medic to heal him,if the medic cant path there(again for less than reliable pathing reasons) both medic and unit waiting for heal get indefinetly stuck(until unit needing healing is healed and to 100%...honestly ai wish the engine manged this more safetly) and so squads can get totally destroyed

#

iv tested some more and decided that, enable attack false(on activation in scenario) combined with Diamond formation,and a wp in the building centre, produces oddly good results for a dynamic garrison,even seeing units sometimes path upstairs,and never causing units to get stuck(except for the medic heal issue)

#

so i guess il resume a look for a good dynamic garrison solution in 7 or 8 years in A4

  1. How it is not working
  2. How is your intention
  3. What vehicle
timid night

  1. The turret of the vehicle remains in it's default direction (in front of the vehicle which is facing roughly 190)
  2. I'm looking to have a convoy of vics face different directions for a cool picture, so I need something to make vehicle turrets face in a manner of different directions, for example one facing 200 and one facing 300 (also if at all possible chose the elevation of the guns so I could have some looking at rooftops.

Ah then last true should be false maybe

timid night
#

Aha! Progress!

#

It's aimed at where my player character started.

#

also appears to require the vic be crewed. As the bradley hasn't aimed and isn't crewed

#

Okay, so I've got it to also target other things, I can use that by just having some invisble object to target!

#

Much appreciate your help!

Hello, I wish to make a script to get called from when I throw a grenade. Would that be possible so that air strikes or other things can be called on the grenade would love some insight into how i would do this. If its possible cheers

Hello all,

Whenever I change the scaling of an asset that I place in the editor it never ends up saving. When I actually load the mission the scaling of the object always resets to default 1. Is there something that I'm missing ?

Question, when attempting to get the Warlord Init to use a custom assetlist, what specifically do I have to input into the 'asset list' section? The file name (description.ext), or the phrase I choose for the assetlist class within the file? I've tried both and neither appears to be working.

No. setObjectScale has some limitation. And you're having the limitation

I'm attempting to run a custom Warlords scenario in the editor and keep getting the following error:

File A3\Functions_F_Warlords\Warlords\fn_WLSectorPopulate.sqf

Anyone able to give me any pointers on what this might be? At first I assumed it was due to issues populating the Independent spawns, but after removing independent spawns entirely I'm not sure that's the case.

Eventually I want to get it so a VIP will get into the convoy then it will set off, pass through a checkpoint (Pictured below) then head off to an event, where the VIP dismounts.

Either I need to get the AI to do it itself or else have them follow a lead player car, which I haven’t worked out how to do yet.

#

They also need to get through another gate before this

what are the yellow objects directly on the road? grass cutters? or is it the actual road? First off, ungroup the vehicles,youll have a better time going from there. if you need to keep them 4 vics together use a speed limiter,make the 1st vehicle a max speed of 1 kmh less than the follow on vehicles,(although this can have a negative affect just depends on factors) use less wp's,trust the AI a little more . ok so far ungrouping will fix some vics not moving issue, it will also fix them driving into buildings unless part 1 is unsuccesful,but try it first

#

on each group init disable visibility raycasts with disableAI "CHECKVISIBLE"(in group init)

#

enable it later when you actually need them to / if need them to engage enemy

#

cant stress enough...NEVER group vehicles. wether its wp's,or scripting,grouped vehicles may aswell be unsopprted imo in Arma3

Thank you

#

I tried ungrouping them, that helped a lot. I will mess with the speed control now as well.

#

The yellow and black objects are just curb pieces on the ground. All the vehicles on approaching the checkpoint stop and fan out on the road.

#

They fail to go through the checkpoint before as well which is just a bar gate with a barrier in the middle of the road

#

it isnt so much the bar gate thats the issue,its the surrounding objects as i know from experience they can go through it even when its in a down(scripted to open) pos. their last wp where they stop,you need to add a wp RIGHT before that,kind of shuffles them into a tighter pos. However results may vary from time to time,as the AI is dynamic,unitplay is ultimately the solution for EXACT placement in instances like this.
