3den Enhanced comes with a distance measuring tool that's quite handy for separating likely points of engagement

alright thanks

#

@deep belfry my advice is to start with simple things, for everything that you try to learn, the learning curve is not always the same, some stuff you will struggle at first

#

but always google it what you want to do

#

and come here to ask if you have absolutely no resources left

(and don't use chatGPT ^^)

oh yea

while we're on the topic of simple stuff

#

i've got a trigger with the following code:

hint "blufor detected";
QRFembark = QRFsquad addWaypoint[QRFheli,0];
QRFembark setWaypointType "GETIN"

#

Problem is the squad doesnt get in and just stands next to the vehicle

Hey guys Im having trouble in my post-apo mission. We created a mission where we use say3d for story related AIs. (They are static).
The problem is, when we test it and approach from time to time the audio skips some time. Or it plays too fast. Like forwarding an old videotape, then suddenly continues to work correctly.
Imagine an AI playing 30s audio.
When you approach it, audio starts like 8x the speed, skipping 10s of audio and then proceed to play last 20s the way it should.
Tldr: AI and objects are playing audio via say3D, but some audios are speeded up.
It differs every time we try it. Some Times it work, some times speaker speeds up few secs and some Times AI speeds up audio or skips few secs.

#

Tested in singleplayer editor and MP dedicated server

#

In both cases this bug occurs. Audios are not corrupted, some Times they work some Times they skip/forward a part of audio

scarlet crystal
#

How did you create the audio file?

past stone
#

right side is description.ext

#

audio was made with AI, then adjusted by friend and then converted to ogg

#

can you setup armbands ?

lethal pulsar
#

Not certain what is meant
Giving an armband to a unit is just adding it to its loadout in nearly every case
You can get one of the armband mods from the workshop if you need more armband options

glass hazel
scarlet crystal
#

there are no armbands in vanilla game

glass hazel
#

ok

#

so how do the mods do it? are they as new uniforms?

scarlet crystal
#

depends, usually either NVG or facewear slot

#

I guess there are mods that have armbands baked into their uniforms but that's rare from my experience

lethal pulsar
#

They are mostly goggles/NVG/faceware slot items attached to the arm bone
KAT medical has a scripted armband that doesn't need an equipment slot, not certain how it works
Main armband mods I've used/encountered are:
Arma 3 Aegis https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=949252631&searchtext=arma+3+aegis, along with lots of other stuff
Hartman's Armbands https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3330144696&searchtext=armband, uses same armband model as Aegis
^ Has an expansion I haven't used
Haven't used Simple Armbands, but it might good too https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778578325&searchtext=armband

#

There are some other armband mods out there as well

#

the units in this convoy are all in one group, set to careless, and in column formation, with the first vehicle's driver set as group lead
each vehicle has

the first three work great, yet the fourth and anything past that refuse to move

#

what gives?

#

Try without forcefollowroad.

that does not seem to have done it unfortunately

by removing the setconvoyseparation I was able to get the fourth truck to move but nothing past that

Arma convoys woof I think the order you spawn the vehicles in in 3den is something to take into consideration as well

oh is it?

#

hmm, I'll try and rebuild it from scratch

#

okay I am bad at properly testing things so I think that made a difference but I also changed some other things around that seem to have helped to which I'll put down here

#

AI seem to not like the slowest vehicle being in front, seems its better to limit everyone's speed than put them behind a slower vehicle

#

and it also seems important to place them with their spacing already set up

#

Does AI skill do anything? I'm trying to reduce the enemy AI sight range and I can't make it work. I placed an EAST unit in the editor, changed the spot distance (I think that's a Eden Enhanced feature) but they detect me at the same distance. I also tried lowering the overall skill of the unit, and nothing seems to change. Lowering the skill from the options menu doesn't do anything either.

scarlet crystal
#

it does

#

did you try changing the camouflage coefficient for your unit?

tender vigil
#

no but that sounds more like a workaround. Why would I need to make my unit harder to be detected, when I can (or should be able to) make enemies see less?

#

it doesn't change the fact that the skill doesn't seem to be having any effect

keen jolt
tender vigil
#

No. I don't have any AI mod active, and it was a new mission with only two units. I used the console to check the skill of the AI soldier, and it was correct, it just wasn't affecting the detection range for some reason.

does the support requester work on multiplayer? have issues where the supports work on singleplayer but on a server it dies

fossil urchin
steep holly
#

basically the supporter requester just fails to pick up the additional supports being spawned in

#

I have it set up that when the vehicle spawns with the pilots, it autmatically uses the

leader _group1 synchronizeObjectsAdd [TRANSPORT_SUB1];```
#

it works absolutely fine - until its on a server

#

then the supports just dont synchronize or work

(bad english alert) how can i do this with the support requester module? i tried sync all the vehicles to the module but when i want them to launch the missiles they shoot 1 or 2 missiles per vehicle and never shoot at the same time and they don't shoot again, and i want all vehicles to shot all their missiles when i call for support

Continuously respawning AI troops on an island
Helicopter pilots must continually ferry them from the island to the combat zone
As troops die, they respawn and wait for a helo to pick them up at the designated area

is this possible? Is it possible to have the player leading a flight of a few helicopters, and the troops will get into all the helicopters?

and do troops have to be assigned to a specific helo or could they simply pool up in one spot and have any helicopter pick them up?

quick question... trying to make an AI Single player capture type scenerio.. I have the ai running around to the different sectors great but I want to make it so at certain sectors they spawn ONLY 1 vehicle at a time until it dies once captured.. as an example capture point A and there is a helipad. I would like it to spawn 1 heli at the helipad until it dies then delay for some time then respawn that same 1 heli. I don't want it to keep spawning helis every X time (same thing with cars/tanks etc...). if that makes sense. I also want it to be faction related so if blu has it it is their heli if opfor has it then it is theirs. any easy way to do this? THANKS

It's just a totally separate program for searching for things on your PC. The P:\ drive is where unpacked game data goes, if you're doing mod stuff.

#

voidtools is extremely useful beyond the scope of arma modding

No

and use variable names, not classnames

as in you doubleclick your tank, give it a variable name in the variable name field, then do the same to your other unit and then use those variable names in init

Multiplayer respawn is set to respawn on custom position (respawn_west) and in description.ext I have:

When I respawn it sometimes forces spawn without input from me choosing a position, then after I die 5 times it says respawn disabled. I've deleted and rewritten description.ext and messed with spawn settings to no avail. Anyone experience this before?

Have a question for the smarter people here. Every once and awhile, when loading into a zeus slot on our server, the character will spawn without zeus. The only way for them to get zeus is to respawn and then it usually works.

If they dont have zeus, and someone tries to promote them to zeus, it breaks them entirely and they have to relaunch the game.

Hello all, Quick question about SP Bot/spawning. I am having a hard time creating a composition or script that turns on and off unit spawning if a sector or area is controlled by west or east. ive tried making a sector with blufor and opfor attached to it.. then that sector going to unlock and then trigger repeatable for ex bluefor attached to a spawner. This however does some weird things when changing sector control. it either spawns both sides or spawns the other side one last time as it is captured. is there any fix or easier way to turn on and off the spawner based on which side has control of an area??? it doesn't even need to be a sector i just thought it was the easiest way, and at this point I would rather just use an area trigger

Define how it is not working. Error messages even

Not even error, just do nothing in this state. That is strange 😦

[myplayer, _currentUnit] call ace_switchunits_fnc_switchBack; alone is working, but when I add "if (player =... " Its not reacting at all.

You are checking is your playerswitchin unit,
And if it's your trying change current unit to same unit.

[_originalPlayerUnit, _currentUnit] call ace_switchunits_fnc_switchBack

#

I use switch func., in the game, so I switch to some AI, I can play, then I want to go back to original, so I use for example "> [myplayer, _currentUnit] call ace_switchunits_fnc_switchBack; so it will send me back. But, I need to add if (player == myplayer); because I want to exec this command on server, so this command needs to affect only this one player, not everyone currently on server.

ashen marsh
#

Send to server both unit objects.

sharp lily
#

Ooh...

#

But I won't know where the player will switch, so I can't know name of that AI, this player will choose, You know.

ashen marsh
#

To switch to a unit, you should have 2 unit objects. So how you "won't know where the player will switch, so I can't know name of that AI, this player will choose"?

sharp lily
#

They will switch, and at a time, I need to send them back, with server command. Only those, who ARE able to switch.

#

No, because they will click on the map, on random unit. Function will port them into those Ai.

#

Complicated a bit meowsweats

fossil urchin
#

Hmm,
You want them use random unit x, and ability to change back to original player object?

ashen marsh

#

It's ACE function, I don't know how they do it. It's in the code, maybe I can try to find it.

quiet plume
sharp lily
#

I want my guys to use onmap click, but there is a way, where I will choose where to switch. If ACE will let me. For now it seems to me, it won't (?)

#

Can I choose name of player's avatar, and name of AI, where I will switch that player ?

[ai_name_where_to_switch_player, current_players_avatar_name] call ace_switchunits_fnc_switchBack

Should work, right ? I will execute that on "Global exec" in debug console on server.

i want to make a barebones mission for 3 players that each have access to Zues

how do I do this?

lethal pulsar
# mossy halo how do I do this?

Place 3 units, set all as playable
Give them all variable names
Add 3 zeus modules, set the owner for each one to one of the variable names of the units you placed
Make certain zeus is set to all addons (official and unofficial) if you want to use mods
Also, consider adding zeus enhanced, much more powerful to use as a zeus

mossy halo
#

whats the difference in zues and zues enhanced?

lethal pulsar
#

Zeus enhanced adds a bunch more ways to control stuff and allows editing some of the varibles while the mission is running without running scripts to change it

mossy halo
#

When i try to test mission it doesnt let me select a role

#

it just goes to a spectator cam

You can start the mission as multiplayer,
You need to have a player unit if you want to test in single player
Player has a red ring in the editor, playable have a purple ring

primal blade

hey does anyone know any mods that add like a node that makes a ai shoot some thing in a specific spot

like i need to be able to get a sniper to shoot a ai in a specific spot

lethal pulsar
#

Don't know of any mods, but it should be possible by using scripting to set target and hold fire until the ai is supposed to get shot
Or if you don't actually need the sniper to exist, you might be able to just set damage on the target, play a gunshot sound, and apply force to the ragdoll

#

If the ai is supposed to die every time, using set damage after he gets shot would make it more reliable

primal blade
#

because the player will notice that there teamleader has no injurys and just droped dead

Sanity check. When "Play on this unit" (or whatever its called) happens in SQF or Engine end?

Context: postInit doesn't detect the player as the selected unit but actual player (in this context player unit that is set in Eden, but not the player unit I use in this Preview), and I am suspecting that something is happening in post-postInit

Sidenote, TeamSwitch MEH doesn't seem to detect anything either

The bad thing about it is that you might see the soldier ragdolling for a few secs if you spawn it close to the player
Also if you spawn many of those dead soldiers at once your FPS will tank because of so many ragdolls. You can disable simulation to make it fast:

this switchMove [selectRandom ["DeadState", "UnconsciousReviveDefault"], 1];
this setDamage 1;
this enableSimulation false;

The selectRandom is there to add some variation (some dead units will face up, some face down)

I have to admit I'm a rookie and not sure how to make use of that. I can't find the flag in the cfg, so I suspect it may be lumped in with something else.

Problem is there is a noticable lag when the code executes. My scenario is script heavy, so I'm wondering if the cause is the subtitle code jamming itself through the other code in a suboptimal way. The Old Man modules use the action queue for determining script order, and since I can't yet find a way to add my code to the action queue, is there another way I can slip my subtitle code through in a way that doesn't compete with other functions?

you can order your ai in the chopper before you get in

so you want me to give an order to every single member of the squad?

you hit space bar witch selects the team then point to the chopper and click enter on keyboard

are the the leader of your team right

after all ais r in chopper then you get in

but I want the chopper to go once every member is in

Guys, I'm a bit confused.
Lots of guides says about -filepatching and -nofilepatching. However, if one is enabled, wouldn't the other one is automatically disabled, so that there is no meaning on selecting one?
And these days there is only -filepatching option in the luncher.

Have the term changed in some version? As I understand, current -filepatching will allow me load unpacked data. right?

You can createMarker and a constantly running code to adjust marker position will do

Hi, I'm trying to learn to make arma scenarios so some friends and I can play a bit. I wanted to know how can make custom loadouts and have my friends respawn with the custom loadouts? So far whenever I change a unit's loadout in eden it just spawns in its base loadout. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you.

Hey guys, I have a qucik question.

We have a scenario / server, where when you administer and 16g Needle, and then Add an IV to the person, the blood doesnt enter their body.

Lets say I administer 500ml of blood, when looking at the player, it says "receiving blood 500ml" but it doesnt count down, 499-498-497 etc

#

We use KAT, and Ace

Beyond that, you'll have to ask in their discords

Ive managed to fix it

It was down to FLOW rates being enabled

#

So they would have to specify a flow rate

Hey everyone: new to modding here. I want to fundimentally alter / modify the core of how the Warlords game mode functions (mostly maybe finding a way to get rid of sector voting entirely) but am unsure how to inspect / edit the core of where the game mod logic is held. Any help would be appreciated. I looked into editing the scenario details using Description.ext, and the Mission.SQM but neither get as granular into modifying the function of voting as I would like. You can't even change the cost of the 'Strategy' category items in the requisitions config for instance lol. Thank you!

Hey everyone, having issues and haven’t been able to find anything online or through my hour of troubleshooting. In the editor when I try to “play scenario” or “play as character” it throws me the error code for ACE “Extension not found. [Return Code: -1]” and it seems Battle Eye is blocking it. Any ideas on a fix?

#

**Update: Disabling Battle Eye is obviously a temporary fix but anytime I re-enable it, same error code.

fossil urchin
#

Running win 7?

#

Copied from ace "help"

I'm getting an error saying 'Extension not found...' when joining/starting a mission.

If you're on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, these operating systems are no longer supported as of v3.18.0. If you're not, it's probably a BattlEye outage and you'll have to either disable BattlEye or wait for it to clear up.

Hey!
I'm currently making a mission where you have to escort a vehicle to a certain point. I've set up a task that is 'Keep the truck alive', wind an 'end scenario' module, works perfectly fine. When the truck dies the mission fails. My question is, is it possible to remove the fail parameter after the task ends? So, for example, you deliver the truck to the destination, you do another task, but if the truck blows up while you're doing the new task, you don't fail the mission.

prisma oyster
midnight elm
prisma oyster
#

When the truck dies the mission fails
do you have access to the success/failure conditions eventually?

midnight elm
#

I have a task create module, with a task id as 'task1', synced with a task state and a trigger. The trigger's condition is: ammotruck1 in thisList. I've created another task, that has the parent id as 'task1', synced to a a set task state, set to failed, synced to an end scenario module, linked it with another trigger, that has '!alive ammotruck'! as the condition.

prisma oyster
# 
not triggerActivated successTrigger && not alive theTruck
```should do 🙂

#

For which trigger my friend?

#

The one linked to the end scenario?

Been doing some missions and played them on LAN but I had some issues I'll need some help to avoid for future missions, cause I can't understand what to do differently.

After a few respawns the respawn gets DISABLED and there is no way to respawn.
The locations I added are "respawn multiplayer", and in the options for the mission I've ticked the "respawn on custom position"

  • I don't use any ticket system.
    We either get the respawn disabled OR we randomly get placed on one of the 3 respawns without any possibility to choose place...
    Super weird and I hate it, so please help me avoid this shit..

The mission is saved as a Multiplayer mission, played on LAN

Totally rookie with editor so bare with me, creating/playing WW2 themed missions if its important

  • What is the easiest way to make, enemy AI units placed in Eden editor, respawn after a certain time?

  • When reaching night time when playing a mission, how is the enemy acting? Can they see me as good as during daytime? I haven't seen them using flares but they sure as hell are killing me during the night 😄 wondering the same thing about bad weather too

looking for suggestions

I want to include a mine strike scenario in a mission im making, id like top have the mines actually there so once they realize they are in a minefield they can use the detector etc

but the goal is to guarantee that the first mine or mines that go off ONLY destroy the vehicle's tracks (they will be in marders from global mob), aiming for a repair and escape minefield before responding enemy shows them a bad time

any ideas? simpler the better

#

current plan is to use apers mines and then be ready with zeus to apply the track damage manually lol

ebon nexus
hard ocean
#

Im not that great at SQF stuff yet and im sure this could be done a bunch smarter, but incase anyone else wants to do the same, this seems to work reasonably well

add to vehicle init, will make the first mine strike on that vehicle (or any others using the same global vars) take a track off and do nothing else, with future strikes behaving normally with a delay for that change so if they hit 2 at once or something it still just takes off a track

obviously need to adjust gm_ge_army_marder1a1plus for the vehicle class and ["gm_mine_at_tm46"] for your mine class(es)

this addEventHandler [
    "HandleDamage",
    {
        params ["_vehicle", "_hitSelection", "_incomingDamage", "_source", "_projectile"];
        if !(typeOf _vehicle == "gm_ge_army_marder1a1plus") exitWith {
            _incomingDamage
        };

        if (
            _projectile in ["gm_mine_at_tm46"]
        ) then {
            if !(missionNamespace getVariable ["mineStrike", false]) then {

                _incomingDamage=0;
                
                if !(missionNamespace getVariable ["myFirstMineHit", false]) then {

Hi guys, new here. I got a technical question. I am making a ZEUS (coop) pve mission for MP. And realized i cant asign ambient animations to units until i lunch the game and then actually switch to Zeus. Can somebody please advise? Thank you. (When I double click a unit the option to set animation is just not there.) I am running it in LAN setting atm so I could actively launch it in MP and see if things work.

started using dirrect Functions Ex. [this,"SIT_HIGH2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
for some reason get= Init: Missing ]
Upsie I missed one " silly goose - All good fixed it. But kinda sad that i cant see the animation upon just doubleclicking

small patrol
#

What exact code you run, and where you exactly put the code

buoyant bear
# small patrol What exact code you run, and where you exactly put the code

If you are answering me i run atm ex. = Animation ex -
[this,"REPAIR_VEH_KNEEL","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
[this,"LEAN","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
[this,"GUARD","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;

[this,"BRIEFING","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
[this,"SIT_LOW","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
[this,"SIT_LOW_U","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
[this,"SIT_HIGH1-2","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;

For animation. Instead of the option to just double click and see animations for the unit.
I put the code dirrectly into the unit? It works. But makes me kinda kms since it would be easier to just add Animation directly trought interface like when you ZEUS. Not calling upon function each time.

is there a better way to place "random enemy troops" when playing instead of placing own made compositions? a mod or something?
playing on a large map with lots of units and even though they are cached its still killing the fps. so my plan is to place down enemy in the cities while playing instead of in the eden editor
For example the module "occupied area" in Drongos Map Population mod, but that cant be placed in-game

You wanna use layers for that and show, hide the units when players are nearby.

Additionally you could also use dynamic simulation

pine bison

Hmm will check that out! Thanks! I'm using the show/hide module for some of the enemy units but it doesn't seem to do that much - I might be absolutely wrong tho haha
The biggest pro with DMP is that i can choose to spawn 0-5 patrols, 0-5 tanks and 0-5 static weapons at an area, which make every village different. Do you know if there is such module or something to use via Zeus?

It is set to custom position, no custom loadout.

And this should go into the Description.ext?

if you manually set respawnOnStart = -1; then yeah
if there is an option in the MP tab, use that, it's easier

Basically I’ve placed a leaned character very specifically but in game it’s always a half foot away from the other object (I’ve turned of simulation for placed object). Any adjustments seem to either clip the character to the top of the object or maintain the half foot distance. Probably a really easy fix but idrk what I’m doing

I change the call code to something else instead of Alpha 1-2, but it still appears as Alpha 1-2 on the multiplayer role selection screen.

Hello i found a map with a great building i wanna use, im not sure if it's vanilla or part of CUP terarins core. But i can't find it anywhere in the editor. The map is called "scottish highland", only mod it uses is "CUP terrains - core" I will send a screenshot, if you know the name of the building, please say it, if you know where it can be found, please say. If you know ANYTHING, please say. I wanna use it in a zeus mission but i can't find it.

I am not sure where to ask this. I have set difficulty for my missions in server files. But for some reason every mission I host stuff like marking explosives and friendlies on map still show up. Even tho its marked as hidden in difficulty config

# fossil urchin Add server params Difficult to custom

Didnt I say I have it done?
I think I did
server.cfg

...
//template = Antistasi_vt7.vt7;
difficulty = "Custom";
class Params {
autoLoadLastGame = 60;
...

and serverprofile/home/player/player.arma3profile

class DifficultyPresets
{
    class CustomDifficulty
    {
        class Options
        {
            reducedDamage=0;
            groupIndicators=0;
            friendlyTags=1;
            enemyTags=0;
....
#

but enemy tags (as an example) still show up.
Does ACE have some options that overwrite this or smth?

I assume your server configs is not correctly defines, so your missions will use some other than your custom template

How do i make treches? Right now when i place the trench and open the deformer tool and lower the ground it glitches out and lowers the trench too

floral dragon
#

I assume you've placed some objects(some trenches) on the ground and then you move ground with deformer tool

#

You gonna have to place them again, they are placed based on terrain, which you are changing

#

First edit terrain then place objects on it

#

Is there a function that I can put within the spawn function so there is a delay before it executes the rest of the script?

#

I want it to wait for an object to be attached THEN grab the first attached object. Because the script runs to fast thus stating the variable is undefined.

#

Nvm I think I found it “sleep”

spark birch
#

Also the grass is glitching out

floral dragon
#

Size, those 12 meters can't be changed?

#

smaller?

#

I never used the tool, but since objects are placed on terrain, it seems logical that editing terrain would move objects above it too
