yo what do i put for a trigger to activate when a certain amount of units have died of a specific side, or if theres less than a specified amount of the side?

[empty crown]

Is there anyway to optimize Arma missions? I am making kind of like a Gray Zone Warfare'ish Sandbox for Arma 3.

What I find is the more assets I install, the more fps drops. I was expecting this, but I'm curious if there is a way to optimize a mission/sandbox? Are there any tools, scripts, mods, that help to lower the lag hits for Arma?

hey guys, having an issue on a modded map where I put a warlords init module + bases/sectors down in eden but when I select a playable character, it doesn't let me vote for any sectors, and when I check AI voting they don't do it for me either. It's always stuck on voting and never selects any sector for me to attack, I think the issue is in setvariable ["Bis_WL_selectedSector", |#|_votedFor, TRUE];

Don't mind debugging it further myself but wondering if this is a common problem and I'm missing something, the only site referencing the issue is https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/235451-solved-warlords-mission-saveload/ and servers are down

Bless you sir

I usually use Zeus when playing my own created missions, but want to stop using it and remove the function.
But, how do I make a vehicle a "spawnpoint" if I don't have zeus? Can I do it from the editor?

[vestal ferry]

Is there a way to stop looking at the sync lines?

It's a mess...

[plain gale]

Put your things in layers and hide them and disable editing

alternatively execute
set3DENLinesVisible [false, false];// Hide all lines in the debug console. To enable them later just replace false with true

Hello, I have a question. I am using Alive to copy an existing faction from BLUFOR and change it to OPFOR. When I do copy it and save the files (autogen, CfgPatches, etc) and pack it with ARMA Tools the faction still shoes up as BLUFOR when I load the game back up. I am new to this, so I may have missed a basic step, but have read multiple tutorials and watched videos. What am I doing wrong?

does anyone have a copy of the default A3 support gamemode cfggroups config file?

sorry i have looked it up, either i am wording it poorly or i have bad luck finding it so i ask here:

how do i make a trigger activate when there are a certain amount of objects in an area? and also activate when a certain amount of units of a side or a specific type too fall under a specified amount?

for the first one, an example is needing to provide humanitarian aid to a village, but you need to bring 3 crates to one village, and 2 to another.

for 2) i mean specifically like making ai surrender for example because the amount of ai fell under 6 ai in the area

[small patrol]

{_x in thisList} count [aid1, aid2, aid3, aid4, aid5] == 3```
Not tested

[lone zephyr]

the units I place down with custom premade loadouts reset to the default of the unit i placed down anyone know a fix ?

[quick hedge]

Hi, does anyone know how to keep a catapult activated on the aircraft carrier? I only want it for aesthetic purposes during my mission (like the jet display mission).

[small patrol]

Likely Mod issue. Don't use that particular unit or Mod that randomizes/resets the loadout

[small patrol]

If you mean USS Freedom's Catapult, IIRC Jets Showcase did really a dumb scripted solution rather a builtin function

[quick hedge]

How could I get that script?

[small patrol]

Either write one yourself or check Jets Showcase source

(IIRC and tldr) it is just bunch of setPos

hey can anybody teach me how to make decent senarios with ai

[white beacon]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to make a scenario where players need to take a photo of a certain object (a vehicle in this case) which would then accomplish a task. I seem to recall a thread about something similar in the bis forums but they've been down for a while. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

[small patrol]

First off, you need to define what is take a photo in this context or players required to do

[small patrol]

Eden Editor, top-right tutorial

[white beacon]

@small patrol So, its just a simple setup. Vehicle standing on a runway that the players need to take a photograph of. After the picture is taken and the vehicle is in frame, the task updates as accomplished. I know there's a photocamera module in General Mobilization, that fires an EventHandler each time a player takes a photo with it. The problem is, how do i make the task update on photographing this particular vehicle. Sorry im kinda stumbling through this

[small patrol]

So you are after GM's function?

[foggy eagle]

@white beacon i would like to join

[small patrol]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Global_Mobilization_Photocamera_Module
The gm_photocamera_takePicture is the example here

[white beacon]

Yeah thats the module, but the Eventhandler fires each time the camera is used, no matter whats it looking at. What i need is to figure out how to make the task "know" that the correct vehicle is in frame and update the task only then

[small patrol]

I see

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lineIntersectsSurfaces
This might be one solution

[white beacon]

ooh interesting, that might be it, thank you @small patrol

[slow jewel]

@foggy eagle i'm in voice come in i can help you make a great senarios with ai

how debinarize .p3d?

[small patrol]

You don't

[crisp imp]

Anyone know why the
private _object = get3DENSelected "Object" select 0;
_object setObjectScale 0.1;
command just/... doesnt work at all? even if its a simple object its just the same damn size

[quiet plume]

but it works? The cube on the right looks pretty damn small to me

(please note that the code only changes the size of object in the running instance of editor, running mission or reopening 3DEN would return the object to its normal scale)

[crisp imp]

I have used that exact code on a player, a simple object house, a simple object hemmit, and everything else I can think of and it never changes

[quiet plume]

front row soldire, house and hemtt still look pretty damn small to me. And doing this is still pretty useless anyways

[crisp imp]

The jist of my thinking is I'm attempting to attach a player, small sized, locked in animation, to another player for them to carry around.

[fossil urchin]

Where and how do you call your event?

[jovial mural]

Hey can someone help me make this respawn module disappear from the map?

[fossil urchin]

Seems there is no value to set hide for everyone.
But from the init of the object you can use.

this spawn {
 sleep 0.01;
 format ["%1",_this] setMarkerAlphaLocal 0
}

Didn't work without spawn,
Didn't work without sleep.
Assume marker is created after module is initialized and marker is created by str variable name of module.
Maybe some else know something that I don't , but that's one solution.

[polar edge]

Is there a mod to open zeus at any time?
Like with a single key

[fossil urchin]

"Y" should open curator interface (Zeus), if you have access to Zeus.

[polar edge]

Alright trying it now

[fossil urchin]

If you don't have,
You need add Game Master module and setup it for your mission.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Module:_Game_Master

[polar edge]

Hey, sorry im a bit new to arma how do I add that to the editor?

[fossil urchin]

on the right side you have the modules tab ,
Write in the search box Game Master,
You should be able to see a module named "Game Master",
Just drag and drop it on the surface.

[polar edge]

Alright Thanks everything is working now!

Much appericate brother

[crisp imp]

Sorry. WAs at work. I used the Init box

[fossil urchin]

3denselected works only in 3den, and for 3denselected object.
So if you are adding that code in init of object that your are scaling

this setObjectScale 0.1;

Should work.

[crisp imp]

I did try that as well but let me try again when I boot up

[deep crown]

so i have a problem

the SPEARHEAD 1944, Faces of War, and Iron Front flak guns do not work

well they only work for infantry

but not AA

Im trying to set up a ww2 thing that has flak in it but i dont have a flak script nor a working flak gun

[latent maple]

btw if anyone has a similar issue the cause was me not syncing modules properly, i.e. syncing sectors to warlord init instead of each other

[teal finch]

When I join in to my mission (Normandy map), I first load in, and then it takes 3-4 seconds and the loadingscreen show again...
Is it a setting or could it be one of my scripts?

[small patrol]

Maybe maybe not. If you wonder make some troubleshoot by remove some of your features you made

If you know how to an AI to leave their vehicle, it's same thing, because a static MG is a vehicle

[solar skiff]

You can trigger it pretty easy with doArtilleryFire

[deep crown]

or a script

a script that commands the unit to aim for a certain position and then they fire at that certain area that the unit is aiming at.

Hi guys, maybe dumb question of the day. If I am scripting a mission to run on a dedicated server, will it run in my editor on a multiplayer test session or will things fail?

[small patrol]

Can you elaborate more?

[prisma mist]

cheers mate, on which part. The script or how I am testing in the editor?

maybe I'll rephrase. If I have a mission that runs on a dedicated server, will it run in my editor under a multiplayer session for testing and will all the missions that run on a dedicated server still work in the editor?

[small patrol]

It really depends. Some may not work. Some may run well

[prisma mist]

Ahh what a bugger.. so there’s no real way to test a mission you want to run in a dedi server other than to run it on a dedi server..

[small patrol]

There anyways is very least possible "comprehensive" yes to your question unless you test

The main difference between local hosted server and dedicated is, player being objNull or not

Of course hasInterface

[kind prism]

it will also search server exe folder

If you're using AI to debug or write stuff, I'd suggest checking the Biki immediately after to see if its using the commands correctly.

Are you sure ? Well then problem solved, thank You!

I'm a total rookie with this so please help!
I have downloaded a Chernarus map, but I am uncertain that this is the one from the mod or if it is from the base game?
I might overthink but shouldnt it say that the map is made by Zeds instead of Bohemia Interactiv

[plain gale]

It has the cup mod icon so I guess it's the cup map

There is no official port of the map by BI, I guess they left the original author untouched since they "just" ported it.

[lethal pulsar]

There are numerous Chenarus ports on the workshop
The standard one is from CUP terrains - Maps
CUP also has an updated one in Maps 2.0
And then there are all of the standalone ports or updates like that workshop page, as well as the green sea combined mod (chenarus + other maps combined on one map)

disabling the checkbox for the DLC in your steam library won't work

Hi guys, I'm trying to make some custom unit/group compositions for a campaign, but having trouble with loadout randomization.

I am using the 3CB African Desert Army and 3CB CSAT factions as the base, then customizing and saving as custom comps. I have already disabled the 3CB loadout randomization options and overridden the Alive ORBAT scripting for all units, but for some reason, I get certain units that will not randomize and certain units that will randomize, despite these efforts.

I have also used the 3CB Factions Configuration module to disable randomization, but that is still not working.

My guess is either (1) the comp is corrupted somehow and I have to start over (really don't want that to be the case) or (2) there is some other issue with these specific units in the groups that are causing issues. I tend to have problems with the SF Section Leader and SF Team Leader in ADA, almost all units in then CSAT, and then random units in ADA that are disabled in some groups and not disabled in others.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

[sinful zenith]

I think that needs a dev enabled account

[prisma oyster]

doesn't it happen for devs only yeah?

Any idea why when you load a mission in the 3DEN Editor, the ai emplaced in statics like HMG/A gets dismounted and stay near their correspoding emplacement?

[azure stag]

Question, its both a editor and mod question. So friend of mine wanting a ACE Spectator ticket respawn which we have solved however the moment he turns on Select respawn point and Select respawn loadout it which will mess up ACE Spectator when the tickets run out due to the menu of BI Respawn menu/Loadout/Role thingy. Is there a way to fix it where it won't block the ACE Spectator when people are dead-dead?

[prisma oyster]

AI mod

[lucid comet]

Guess its 3DEN Enhanced then. Any idea which parameter specifically 😄 sorry

[prisma oyster]

I don't think 3DEN Enhanced toys with AI really
oh wait you mean "still in Eden", not in preview?

[lucid comet]

You see that the units that are supposed to be inside the vehicle are outside in the 3DEN Editor (and the same happens when the scenario is played in both singleplayer and multiplayer)

[prisma oyster]

and when playing, they're outside as well?

weird

Anyone familiar with the key frame animations module when having the camera attached for a cinematic opening to a multiplayer mission how to get it to stop after the last curve key? Can only get the camera to work when the setup is on loop, which looks great but cannot figure out how to stop it and switch back to in game camera. Any help would be appreciated

[twilit crow]

Is it possible to attach a trigger to a vehicle?

Example: I want a helicopter to be shot down and crash, in a random site. I want my players to search the site and have a "Any player - Present" trigger on the wreckage..is there a way i'd go about doing that?

[kind prism]

So for some reason if you check "Play From Start" the timeline will immediately finish on mission start.
So you can do something like this in the Event Looped script

if (time > 1) then {
my_cam cameraEffect ["terminate", "back"]; 
[my_timeline] call BIS_fnc_timeline_stop;
};
true

[kind prism]

yeah, use attachTo in init

[twilit crow]

That was what I kinda thought..just attach the trigger to the heli?

[marsh frigate]

Really appreciate your help I'll give it a go. Very new to mission building but find myself hooked

[ebon hollow]

yo guys im trynna make a scenario on altis but i cant seem to get SAM sites to work

[twilit crow]

Are you using the base game ones under "Turrets"?

[ebon hollow]

yeah, i even placed down a radar but it wont shoot

like it locks on but doesnt shoot

[sleek lantern]

👍

[marsh frigate]

🫣 not sure if im putting this script in the correct place. i put it in the loop section on the timeline but doesnt seem to work? apologies man, still so new to this

[kind prism]

That code needs you to name your camera entity my_cam and the timeline entity my_timeline in their attributes

[marsh frigate]

wow, you are a legend!

thank you!

how do you know these things

[kind prism]

You will get more familiar with it.

[marsh frigate]

I have no clue with code. I literally have used chat gpt most of the time which has become a bit of a nightmare. Again thank you.

[slow jewel]

i found chatgpt fucks you up, more then it helps

i mean its ok, but its kinda stupid on Arma 3 scripting

[paper sonnet]

i have a vehicle i can only find on nato specifically the humvee i wanna make it owned by opfor how do i do that

[marsh frigate]

i have to agree mate

[kind prism]

Create it empty and put opfor men in it

[paper sonnet]

how come there is no role select thingy

i made a mission and i want to select if im being sniper or spotter and i cant for some reason

[slow jewel]

yes you can

[paper sonnet]

what?

[slow jewel]

why cant you select roll its there

[paper sonnet]

when i press play there is no role select

[slow jewel]

in the editer or a server

[paper sonnet]

editor

[slow jewel]

you must make the soldier player that you want to use in the editer

[paper sonnet]

yeah its set to playable but when i press play it dont lemme select

[slow jewel]

i mean make the soldier player

no no make it player

[paper sonnet]

alright

[paper sonnet]

i did

i want to be able to select from multiple roles

and it just put me in as one of them

[slow jewel]

ok now you will be that soldier

cant in the editer, you must host the mission on lan or other server type

[paper sonnet]

bruh

[slow jewel]

if you want to chose from all

[paper sonnet]

so i want to SELECT

from a WIDE variaty

of soldiers

[slow jewel]

cant in the editer, sep when you die in the editer then you can

[paper sonnet]

and if i make it player

instead of PLAYABLE

then it just instantly puts me in as that guy

[slow jewel]

can only be 1 player

[paper sonnet]

and WHY?

[slow jewel]

if you die in the editer then you can chose the next availbe playable soldier

the editer is the same as single player mission

if you hit play in the editer that is

only 1 player in editer because then when you host it you will be the server

you can easy host it on Lan and then you can chose other palayable soldiers

[kind prism]

If you play from editor you can use the Team Switch key to switch between units.

[slow jewel]

if you want to host the mission on LAN server you must export it to MuiltyPlayer 1st, then host it on LAN server

i just said that up there m8 but its ok @kind prism

[kind prism]

Some times a thing needs to be explained in multiple ways

[slow jewel]

yes i agree

and multiple times

lol

[small patrol]

Scotty did not said anything about Team Switch key you can use in Single Player mission to change player unit and that is @paper sonnet needs. You can also have a script command to switch it

[slow jewel]

right i was thinking you could easy see the Team Switch key after you died

i didnt say Team Switch key but i said you can chose the next availbe soldier after you die

[small patrol]

Even before you die

[slow jewel]

but its all good

well yeah

that Team Switch key is very easy to see i didnt think i needed to explane that

but dont you want to be the leader in the single player mission at the start or most times

yes i know there is times when you have a Ai leader and stuff

i think its very limited on doing stuff playing in the editer when your not the leader

but ill make sure i say about the Team Switch key next time ok m8

what i useuly do is be the leader, and if i die, then i Team Switch to the next guy that would be the next leader so i can command the team

ofcorse rank must be set so this happends the correct way

[copper ocean]

guys, does anyone knows how to record this certain area?
while the mission is running?
im solo so i operate the drones or use the splendid camera, i cant do both at the same time

What is your best advice to get models class names as easy as possible?
My use-case: I need the exact class name of an helmet, a mag and backpack from mods and vanilla A3. How to get the classes (for copy/pasting)?

[prisma oyster]

you can equip them in Arsenal then press Ctrl+C, you will have the classnames in your clipboard

[light briar]

With several values?

[prisma oyster]

it will export everything you have on you yes

[light briar]

Oh yes

Now to get a VHL class name?

[small patrol]

VHL?

[light briar]

vehicle

The idea behind is that I did a shortcut in my Loadouts application to print out the content of SQM files. (I need a lot of copy/paste of classes names to external YAML files)

I want to be sure that it is useful

or propose something better in my video while presenting the tool.

Do you find it useful or does any better alternative already exist?

[little bobcat]

Grad-loadout or poppy do something similar but with config instead of yaml

[light briar]

The user experience is very different, but ya tools in the same functional area: customizing loadouts.

But different topic from getting class names easily...

[prisma oyster]

place the vehicle in Eden Editor, right-click on it, copy>classname iirc

[light briar]

ok, nothing better...

I mean no mod or something that dumps out classes names from a mission...

[quiet plume]

select all stuff > right click > Log > Log classes to clipboard. It copies classnames of all selected units (although doesn't get rid of dupes)

[light briar]

Ok, so if there is nothing to dump easily in the same time inventories/cargos and unit/VL classes, my feature makes sens.

[kind prism]

Could open 2nd instance of arma and play multiplayer

Why is the frame of the object in the right place, but the object itself is underwater?

sorry

The wrong screen was originally sent

[long fiber]

Is there a way i can make AI turn out of vehicles in Editor?

Also is there a way to turn the turret of a tank?

[deep crown]

so i want to remake this scene in arma 3

but the problem is

when i get to cloud height they all just disappear

[final hill]

Set the AI to SAFE in their attributes, if that slot has a hatch they will pop out

[kind prism]

You can use lockCameraTo command

[long fiber]

How does that work? (Sorry i'm new to the editor)

[kind prism]

Make sure the tank has a gunner. In the tank's Init box paste this

this lockCameraTo [target, [0]];

In an object's init box this means the object itself. you'll need to replace target with something, either a position [0, 0, 0] or the variable name of another object that you want the tank gun pointed at.
See this for more details https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lockCameraTo
One the mission starts, the code will run (on init), and the gunner will point the tank's gun at the target.

[slow jewel]

thats Awsome @kind prism

Hello, I would appreciate it if you could help me with an activator. What I'm looking for is for the men1 and men2 units to join any unit that enters the activator. Thank you, have a nice day.🫡

[fickle burrow]

Hello, I'm wanting to use the airport on X-CAM Taunus, but the actual map itself is too laggy for my use. Would there be a way I could go into the editor or zeus to save it as a composition without having to remake the entire thing by hand first?

The actual airport pieces aren't too bad, placing every individual handrail piece is too much

[potent gate]

hi is there any way to instaal Object Builder with out buy arma from steam ?

[fickle burrow]

Found a way. You can use the Terrain Object Tool in Deformer to copy things. You just have to enable transformations on the folder that they go into after

[gaunt wigeon]

Hey guys, im struggling with making an AI CAS run work. My current progress is that an invisible target is created where the player puts a marker on the map. The allied jet will get that invisible target revealed and will attack it by itself. I have a problem though. The jet really likes to plant its face into the ground. The AI is really terrible at attacking ground targets with rocket pots or its main gun. They pull up way to late in 1 out of 4 cases. I tried doing something about it by checking the distance of the plain to the target and once it is below 500m i make the plane forget the target and use flyInHeightASL and flyInHeight to make it pull up.
((group myJetD) forgetTarget target1;
myJet flyInHeightASL [600, 600, 600];
myJet flyInHeight [500, true];)
While debugging i can see that it does indeed forget the target once its closer than 500m but it still won't pull up its nose despite flyInHeightASL and flyInHeight. Is there any way how i can force the jet to pull up its nose?

Problem solved already. Disabling the AI's FIREWEAPON once below 500m distance, did solve the Problem

Hey yall I'm trying to make a cinimatic and was wondering if anyone knows a way to make a squad run in sync in a straight line with out stoping and going ?

[light briar]

Like setting a group formation to Line then making a move for the group in the editor you mean?

Yo wassup guys ive never created a scenario b4, and im looking for some suggestions for what im working on atm

Im using the Altis Space Elevator Composition as a Top Secret Lab/Military Installation, if your unfamiliar with the composition check it out, its dope

In the scenario youll be deployed via helicopter, and will have to take out guards and personnel to uncover secrets, i plan to input some lore too

but right now I wonder what rooms and areas I should add, so far I have this somewhat mediocre rest room for the roof guards

Let me know if you have any suggestions, id appreciate it alot!

[sharp lily]

Hey guys, how can I execute sqf located on my dedicated server by command in my scenario ? execVm is just for mission directory,tested. Thanks ❤️

[small patrol]

What do you mean by "SQF located in dedicated?"

[fossil urchin]

I bet he means xx.sqf file that is located in dedicated server files, not in mission files (mission folder)

[sharp lily]

Script located on server exe directory, I need to execute it from the mission itself. execVm will execute just scripts in the mission directory sadly.. I tried it from debug console. script not found.

script.sqf placed in dedic server root directory
joined mission on server, and used debug console: execVM "script.sqf";
-> script not found.

[small patrol]

Is it even possible?

I never heard of such solution

[fossil urchin]

Yeap, me neither.
I bet there is a reason why clients don't have access to server files.

[small patrol]

If there is a big reason to do, make a Mod that only runs on your dedicated is the way

[sharp lily]

Well, that is good point, but the action is still "read only" for that file, so to say, but it's very possible it is not even implemented. And yes, pbo is the way, guys thank you so much ! 🙏

[mild vapor]

hey guys so normally i use the multiplayer respawn module to setup respawns in my arma ops and players have to use the respawn locations from mission start. im looking at running a halo op for a change and want my players to start in cryo pods on mission start and after they leave the base location a respawn is made that they can then use it like normal as decribed above. How would i go about doing this?

[turbid olive]

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

[faint gull]

Whats up guys I'm trying to get players to spawn with a predetermined loadout is there a way to do that? I've set the loadouts up in editor for all the slots just need them to spawn when they slot and come in the server. https://gyazo.com/65e02a5716456a940dfdf748c34471ed

[plain gale]

If they are set in the editor it should work.

[faint gull]

Yeah its not doing it for some reason

Is it because I did the loadouts in ace instead of the virtual

[plain gale]

Maybe.

[faint gull]

That didn't fix it

[turbid olive]

another mod maybe?

cuz like r3vo said, it should work if the loadouts were set in the editor

[faint gull]

Figured it out 3CB overrides 3den on loadouts you just have to disable

[light briar]

facing the same issue, loadouts are defined into the mission PBO on units directly, but respawing with default A3 class loadouts....

Do you know if a mod exists to have a new menu entry in EDEN editor to execute MP export + remote copy (scp/ftps wathever) in one click?

[plain gale]

3den Enhanced has that feature.

Or look up the vanilla solution on the biki on the Arma 3 Respawn page

[light briar]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Respawn : Respawn with Original Loadout

[sharp solar]

If I need to populate an entire city with AI, which spawn as the players move through it (for multiplayer) would it be better practice to use show/hide on a series of triggers, or dynamic simulation?

[glass hazel]

you can use civilian presence module for that

[sharp solar]

I should specify, enemy AI

[inner vortex]

Be the change you wanna see in the world, learn the workbench :)

[deep crown]

i had a projec of making it but i gave up because i didn't knew how to animate it for arma also program and script it

[deep crown]

https://youtu.be/9oOsfPs9LbA

this is it

i made more animations on blender for it

such as crouching

death

constant walking

and the start up walking

i was thinking to make a rising animation

[deep crown]

for now the mod is on hold

until i figure out how to script and program on arma then its back into production

[muted fog]

can someone help me i am in the editor on tanoa and start every time in splendid screenshot mode and cant leave it

[kind prism]

Place a unit. It should automatically be marked "Player" if it's the first one, but you need a player unit.

[compact scaffold]

i started playing arma 3 again after so many years. Can someone tell me how do i restart the map?

[fleet thorn]

can someone help me with making a conversation and then later in the mission with another trigger,Make another conversation?

[spark zenith]

Anyone know why my editor is suddenly only drawing objects within like 300m of my camera? My view distance settings haven't changed any

[bleak peak]

Pretty easy are you doing it with audio files or are you wanting it to be like subtitles that pop up?

[fleet thorn]

if you go onto youtube and type up arma 3 conversations thats what i want to do,The one problem is that i cant get the right coding for when i want more talking later in the mission everyone and everything is wrong

[bleak peak]

Ah npc voice chat vid?

Whats the issue>

You need to be more specific

[slow jewel]

wernt you just in the scripting channel asking the same thing @fleet thorn

[bleak peak]

I'd say its easier to just go ahead and setup a 3d audio and make the character you want to speak the variable. The sound still comes from them

So you'd need to do in the init of the trigger

v1 say3D "audio";
Then set the NPC variable name to v1

Then go to your description.ext and create the reference for the sound

Put your sound in the mission folder and ensure its the same location as mentioned in your description.ext

[fleet thorn]

so i have the voice lines and everything its the thing where if i want to activate another bikb file with more dialogue later in my mission is what i want

im getting briefing this briefing that but nothing workds

[bleak peak]

Bro idk about that

I'm telling you an alternative way

Audio still plays from the character

The simple way

The way that requires no external scripts all done within eden and your mission file

[fleet thorn]

but i want my own words not AI

[bleak peak]

???

[fleet thorn]

my own dialogue with my voice

[bleak peak]

Your voice is audio

So it can be used

[fleet thorn]

in the talk/ sound folder is where you put the OGG files

[bleak peak]

Yes

So? You can make your voice an ogg

[fleet thorn]

its the scripting that no-body is telling me how to do?

[bleak peak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wek5CTTQFvc&t= watch this video see how he makes the audio come from the object thats what you're gonna do with the AI

[fleet thorn]

its no that,Its for later in the mission not the start

[bleak peak]

Dont know cant help pal

[plucky kayak]

Question; is there any way for an 3den placed building to show on the in-game map screen? In this instance, I have a small town that is custom-placed with 3den, but I'd like it to show on the map. I've tried to google it a bunch of times, but it always brings up tutorials and advice on building terrains, not just making a building appear on the in-game map

[small patrol]

So basically grey rectangle? You can just place a marker and call it a day I guess

[plucky kayak]

Definitely a viable option and one that I may need to go with, but it's something like 40 buildings. I was hoping it'd be a simple checkbox somewhere lmao

Despite looking through attributes, tools, and the actual building's options

[small patrol]

You may want to write some SQF then

[kind prism]

If you use Zeus Enhanced you can use the function here https://github.com/zen-mod/ZEN/blob/master/addons/building_markers/functions/fnc_set.sqf#L24

hey guys, im looking for a building for my units advanced training, ive seen it before, a small building with an intirior and a stairway on the outside leading to a heli pad/ landing pad. any chance you guys know what im looking for and can help me find it?

looking for weeks and cant find it

[stoic cloud]

the modular military kind of building?

[earnest wave]

not modular, its all one building, single floor, with stairway leading to the roof on the outside

[small patrol]

White four story office?

Most important question:

Are you talking about purely base-game assets, or including modded/cdlc content?

i just found it, it is a asset from EM buildings and i had forgoten. im soory

Hey, how do I get AI to unload cargo?

I have a blackfish with 2 boats in the back, if I want them to drop these at a waypoint, how may I do that?

it could alternatively be done in a way where they are forced to drop them after passing a trigger (I also dont know how I would do that) but, I digress

[kind prism]

See example 4 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVehicleCargo

[fluid depot]

Thanks

[worn iron]

is there a way to change the currently loaded magazine in a gun when in the editor? I'm making a custom loadout where I have several black tracer magazines, but the gun's default magazine is still tan, so I always start the mission with one of those loaded.

[deep crown]

[small patrol]

Vanilla Arsenal doesn't support it for whatever reason. You can use an Arsenal Mod to improve it or use script commands like addWeaponItem

[small patrol]

It is a part of Eden's Attribute, I forgot but should be located somewhere in the top toolbars

[terse sonnet]

So I noticed 3den enhanced has a ai skill bar you can edit, while arma also has a global one for all units. Which one takes over?
https://imgur.com/a/TmFbzJH
So if the global ai difficulty in settings is set to 100 does that apply? Cause 3den enhanced sets the default ai skill for each unit to 50.

[small patrol]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_AI_Skill
Best bet is this article

[plain gale]

If the value is set to 50% in 3den it's ignored.

[terse sonnet]

oh

cause each unit i put is always at 50%

[plain gale]

That's just the default value

[terse sonnet]

do i have to edit it for each unit?

to what i want

[plain gale]

It's the same for the vanilla attrribute

Yes

If you set it to 49.999% it would work-

I will think about a way to make this clearer

[terse sonnet]

wait so if whats put in the editor matters hows the other difficulty bar in the settings work

[plain gale]

you mean in the "States" category?

[terse sonnet]

wait so let me make sure i'm getting this right

if the difficulty tab in the game settings with precision and skill is set to 100, and the unit in the editor is set to 50%, the editor skill takes over

[plain gale]

First of all, you need to set any other value in the Editor than 50% for it to have an effect.

And all these settings are then mixed together and generate the skillFinal. This is somewhat explained in the link polpox linked.

[terse sonnet]

ohh i didn't know that

so if i dont change the skill slider at all and keep it at 50%, the skill would be what's in the difficulty settings?

[plain gale]

SKILLS = [
    "aimingAccuracy",
    "aimingShake",
    "aimingSpeed",
    "endurance",
    "spotDistance",
    "spotTime",
    "courage",
    "reloadSpeed",
    "commanding",
    "general"
];

onEachFrame
{
    private _cursorObject = cursorObject;

    if !(isNull _cursorObject) then
    {
        private _text = "";
        SKILLS apply
        {
            _text = _text + "\n" + format ["%1: %2 %%", _x, (_cursorObject skillFinal _x) * 100];
        };
        hintSilent _text;
    }
    else
    {
        hintSilent "";
    };
};

Here is a script you can use to find out the final skills values. Just execute it in debug console and look at a unit during preview.

[surreal estuary]

is it possible for game master module to have multiple owners? ie: owner: zSlot(synced role named zSlot), #adminLogged?

or do i just drop a second module with #adminLogged?

[lethal pulsar]

Pretty certain you'd need a second game master module, since most likely the owner variable is just a string

2 is also better if you want to have one Zeus set to control some stuff and have the admin Zeus control everything

[surreal estuary]

its for liberation, to have admins the ability to use zeus if they're not slotted into commander, but im unsure whether they have scripts tied to their already placed zeus module 🙂

will try adding an extra module for admins and test if it breaks anything

[trim igloo]

I need some help.
I have been trying to make a defence style game mode where ai just runs towards you and you shoot them down.

One of the issue the error said is CUP Terrains not being loaded

its started on my server

or downloaded

[small patrol]

I don't know what am I supposed to understand from this image

[solemn lagoon]

im sorry i guess im not understanding what you mean by "not loaded"?

[small patrol]

Not loaded is not loaded into the game/server

[solemn lagoon]

Like through steam workshop or?

[small patrol]

It doesn't matter. Installed is not loaded. Also I don't know what UI I see in your pic

[solemn lagoon]

Sorry that’s from my service provider or server host like were you download the actual mods for the server

[solemn lagoon]

Do you mean loaded on the arma launcher?

[small patrol]

I don't know. I am only sure your RPT can tell CUP Terrains is loaded or not

In the first place, the error log, who says so? Client or server?

[solemn lagoon]

Server

Everything works fine but as soon as i select my unit to load in as it sets me back and makes me re select the mission

This is for a zeus

[small patrol]

Then check server RPT to make sure CUP Terrains is loaded

[solemn lagoon]

I cant seem to locate it

hello editor people, for arma 3 is there a way to teleport one player on command form any location without using zues, Im trying to set up something where I (zues) teleport in to a location very close to the players, kill a few guys and then teleport out so the players dont know where I went, is there a way to do this? there is also multiple groups of players in spread out locations that I would like to do this same thing to all of them

[grizzled socket]

Afternoon chaps and chappets, mid mission making here and i've become stuck. Trying to make a checkpoint gate, for loading zone performance improving purposes, that opens on a trigger but the open/close module isn't cutting it for some reason. Basic premise of what i am doing/need is the checkpoint will have my players will go through one way then will come back through later. I have tried placing trigger connected to open/close modules for both sides of the door but they only seems to work one way. As far as ive experience and can read in the description of the module it can only be used by one trigger per module hence the need for 4 modules and triggers yet this didnt fix my issue.
Any help would be very much appreciated as i cant seem to find an answer to what i'm stuck on anywhere. (Picture for reference of what i'm doing, items/objects from OPTRE modpacks)
Edit: Tested with zues teleporting myself to each trigger and it does seem that each module only activates once, triggers are set to repeatable and this works with the show/hide module. Think i either need a code around the one use for the module or a code that just opens and closes the door.

[slow jewel]

wow cool

make it in the default game 1st is what i would do

[grizzled socket]

Appreciate the response but i have tried this with vanilla stuff prior to making the request for help. Seems to be a limitation with the module at this point and i've yet to find any code on the wiki i can understand/a video tutorial ACTUALLY explaining what the parts of the code are for.

[slow jewel]

i feel ya m8 i get that way also sometimes

maybe someone in the scripting channel could help you them guys in there are awsome

im just jumping around to see if i can help anyone maybe i can't

[grizzled socket]

Fair enough, kinda thought posting a problem in the eden editor im having in the eden editor help channel would get the fix. Probably will leave it for as long as it takes for me to make and have a cuppa before posting in the scripting channel so i don't get told off for "spamming"

Why my CUP unit Russian Federation (modern MSV & VDV) unit doesnt show up they only show up on composition? Anyone have same problem or its just like that?

Is there some magical way to use zeus only modules in the 3den editor? Sci-fi support plus has some cool stuff but I can't use it in the 3den editor :/

[fresh oracle]

Call the function.

[grizzled socket]

Is syncing an asset/unit to a Show/Hide module a good way to improve performance when making a mission? Making my first mission atm and i'm encountering some lag spikes when running it. Curious if there's other ways to improve performance and reduce lag.

[coarse thistle]

It depends. I use it when I put a lot of AIs. Sometimes it will certainly help. Sometimes it will barely affect the game. You just have to be certain that the Assets are the cause of the lag. I would just try with and without. It’s not a long thing to setup.

[grizzled socket]

Cheers, will continue to experiment then.

[slow jewel]

would this be correct code, if i want only p1 to be able to Activate a trigger ```sqf
this && (player == p1);

i know it seems simple but i need to be sure

[sinful zenith]

No. That means the trigger activates, if player is p1.
It doesn't mean that player/p1 is inside the trigger area

[slow jewel]

oh ok what do i need

[sinful zenith]

p1 in thisList to check if p1 is in trigger area.
combined with player==p1 if you want it to run its activation script only on p1's computer

[slow jewel]

ahh i see thats handy to know thx @sinful zenith

[sinful zenith]

Also might depend on your other trigger settings like "activation"

[slow jewel]

what if the trigger is a radio trigger

[sinful zenith]

😰

[slow jewel]

lol

it nice to know all the ways tho

so if its a radio trigger would my code be correct then ```sqf
this && (player == p1);

[sinful zenith]

I don't know if radio trigger would trigger globally. If it does then no.

[slow jewel]

hmmmm

i assume it would only be activated by p1 for everyone

depending on whats in the "Onactivation" ofcorse

i guess if it was hosted mission then i could use in a radio trigger ```sqf
this && isServer

then it would not matter what the hosters var name is

em i correct in assuming this

cuz the hoster player is the Server in a hosted mission, and in the editer also

like if you wanted only the host to be able to Activate the radio trigger that calls the chopper and such

but i don't know much i'm just asking

[turbid olive]

afaik, if it helps, it's just a little. The best way is to spawn units during the game instead of pre-placing them on editor all together. Like Krayne said, it depends, and depends on what you trying to do in your mission, if spawning units makes more sense than pre-placing them...
If you don't want mess around with scripting rn, there's a mod called HBQ Spawn System that helps with that, it has a lot of modules to work on it.

[sharp solar]

Is there a way to somehow configure ARMA time acceleration like you can with DayZ? For example i'd like a mission where the nights are shorter than the days, but the time passes faster than usual for both. Say 1 hour of day light and 20 minutes of night. Without running the time acceleration manually in Zeus.

[paper yarrow]

probably script it with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setTimeMultiplier

[rough canyon]

does anyone know how to set up a respawn on squadmates in the arma 3 editor, i need to have it so that people can spawn on their squadmates instead of just a regular spawn point at a base becuase the squad will be seperated from the rest of the unit and will be traveling the map to find their way back to where the main unit is

[midnight mulch]

I think if you sync a respawn module to the players, it does it?

Or you might be able to set their variable as respawn_west (_0 through however many players) as well

[turbid olive]

https://youtu.be/qWeUN7FfeA4?si=ulM4_Hf4yjsYjiAt

[buoyant bear]

Howdy my fellow mammals.
Got a question.
I created trigger. to detonate IEDs but for some reason only the first one explodes. I have no clue what i am doing wrong. might be exhaustion but i got no clue. See image.

[slow jewel]

@rough canyon or you can have them Teleport to the leaders pos via script and if the leader dies oh well then, you start out again

or you can make a (Mobile respawn Vehicle) that respawns back at base if it get destroyed

then people can teleport to the Mobile respawn Vehicle

theres so many ways to do what you wanted

[fresh oracle]

First, why are you calling? Second, did you name them both correctly?

[buoyant bear]

1. Cuz seemed proper, since its multiple
2. Yup

If you might have better way, share 😄

[small patrol]

• None of call is necessary in this context
• Try triggerAmmo
• ied2 might not be an explosice

[vapid ravine]

hi question, is there a way to remove a map object that was baked into the map. namely a moded map and a building there. the arma dedfult tarrain remover doesnt catch it

been trying any document or redit but couldnt find anything other then
{
hideObjectGlobal _x;
} forEach nearestTerrainObjects [gameLogicObject, ["DosBig_Wall_Gate"], 10];

[plain gale]

Does it actually find the object?

add
diag_log _xto the loop and check the rpt

[vapid ravine]

lemme reactivate arma

[plain gale]

It probably won't because nearestTerrainObjects wants the type not the class name

[vapid ravine]

alright and it has not type

so what can i use instead

[plain gale]

{ 
    if (typeOf _x == "DosBig_Wall_Gate") then
    {
        hideObjectGlobal _x;
    };
} forEach nearestTerrainObjects [gameLogicObject, [], 10];

lemme try that

[plain gale]

Given that DosBig_Wall_Gate is the class name

[vapid ravine]

yueah doesnt work\

want to joina voice chat?

probly be easier

[small patrol]

You sure it is DosBig_Wall_Gate

[vapid ravine]

yes

lets try full capitlising

[small patrol]

And you sure it is only 10 meters away from that logic

[vapid ravine]

ill try to increase to 100

yeah didnt work

if i could replace that object with the activatbale one i would but i cant

[paper yarrow]

nearestTerrainObjects is the wrong function no?
its not a terrain object

[vapid ravine]

probly

can i cahange it

[paper yarrow]

Are you trying it on the wall you placed with EDEN or with the wall thats baked into the terrain?
this screenshot looks like you're trying it with the EDEN placed one

[vapid ravine]

baked into the tarrain

becues it cant be activated to be lowered

its a gate

[paper yarrow]

but the game logic you are checking is next to the EDEN placed wall no? that would not be a terrain object

[vapid ravine]

no i spawned the eden one to make sure its the right class name

[keen jolt]

are you trying to just remove 1 specific wall?

[vapid ravine]

im planing to delete it

[vapid ravine]

yes

[keen jolt]

run the scenario, look at it, then run this:
getObjectID cursorObject

then copy the result

[vapid ravine]

"8645018"

[keen jolt]

then use this code:

getPosWorld gameLogicObject nearestObject "8645018" hideObjectGlobal true

[vapid ravine]

can i add severl objects to it?

[paper yarrow]

are you trying to just remove 1 specific wall?
-_-

[vapid ravine]

not working

[keen jolt]

yeah I missed something

updated

[vapid ravine]

can i add severl object ids to it and if yes how

[paper yarrow]

you would have to make an array of id's and loop over it

[vapid ravine]

FUCK

[keen jolt]

for several objs:

{
    getPosWorld gameLogicObject nearestObject _x hideObjectGlobal true
} forEach ["8645018", ...] 

[vapid ravine]

yeah it didnt work

[keen jolt]

put other IDs in the list

[vapid ravine]

no, not even the single one worked

[keen jolt]

is gameLogicObject defined?

run getPosWorld gameLogicObject in console, see what it returns

[vapid ravine]

ok there is solution and thats exploding it

[vapid ravine]

nothing

[paper yarrow]

{ 
    systemChat format ["type: %1", typeOf _x];
    if (typeOf _x == "DosBig_Wall_Gate") then
    {
        systemChat "wall hidden";
        hideObjectGlobal _x;
    };
} forEach nearestTerrainObjects [player, [], 200];

@vapid ravine stand next to the wall and run this in debug console local execute.

[keen jolt]

well did you even create that gameLogicObject?

[vapid ravine]

ok im going to a vc to stream it cuz that didnt work

[vapid ravine]

yes

[paper yarrow]

apparently not...

[keen jolt]

and you ran that code while running the scenario? and it gave nothing?

if so it's not defined

[vapid ravine]

lemme try

[paper yarrow]

your game logic object is called test...

[vapid ravine]

so what i need to change

i havent dabbled in scripting

[paper yarrow]

@keen jolt how tf is this returning a big list of empty types "type:"

[keen jolt]

some objects don't have types

they're super simple (no damage, etc)
you can use their model instead: getModelInfo _x # 0

[vapid ravine]

i am thinking just to use a big explosion to kill the object instead

before the operation

[keen jolt]

either rename the test thing, or rename gameLogicObject in the code I wrote

[paper yarrow]

test > gameLogicObject in the variable name field in EDEN
or gameLogicObject > test in the script

[keen jolt]

here's a simpler way:

{
    [0,0,0] nearestObject _x hideObjectGlobal true
} forEach ["8645018", ...] 

but it's a bit slow

because it starts searching from the bottom left

[paper yarrow]

if you're only doing it at mission start tho, who cares

[keen jolt]

I guess so yeah

[vapid ravine]

well its a logic for tthe start of the mission

a bit slow as in.. 20 secounds or

and worse case

big explode

[paper yarrow]

a few more milliseconds

less probably

[keen jolt]

yeah only ms per object

vs micro second if you give it a close pos
either way won't matter for you

[vapid ravine]

THAT WORKS FUCK

THAT DID WORK

IMMA

imma get the other objects id

thank you very much

now i can replace them with the other functional item

and if it doesnt at least i can fix it with a lance strike

[keen jolt]

btw since you're hiding terrain objects I recommend that you do it locally

i.e change hideObjectGlobal to hideObject to avoid sending unnecessary network traffic

if you put the code in init.sqf or the init of an object it'll work for all players

[vapid ravine]

i put it in the pbo

cuz thats how the unit works and i dont have acsses tp the server file

[keen jolt]

where in the pbo?

[vapid ravine]

in case it doesnt work i will simply destroy the thing

[vapid ravine]

didnt extract it yet the mission file isnt fully done

[keen jolt]

well it doesn't matter where you put it. as long as the code runs for all players, my point stands

if it only runs for the server, use the global version
if it runs for everyone, use the local one

[vapid ravine]

ill use the global version as itll likely run on the server

[keen jolt]

server only? that's what matters. if it runs for everyone, it does include the server already

[vapid ravine]

how can i make sure it only runs on the server and not each time someone joins

as in run only once and thats it

[keen jolt]

well you didn't tell me where you put the code. I could tell you who it runs for if you did.
anyway, to be safe wrap it in an if (isServer) then {...} block

[vapid ravine]

Its in the mission file itself

As in a gamelogic entity

[keen jolt]

you mean object init field?

[vapid ravine]

here

[keen jolt]

this?

[vapid ravine]

yes

in the gamelogic object

[keen jolt]

it runs for everyone

[vapid ravine]

ok so how can i make sure itll run once

or wont ruin the game

to remove the global part?

[keen jolt]

using if server

[keen jolt]

this is better for this case yes

just remove global

[vapid ravine]

yeah done thanks

hopefully it wont tank FPS

[keen jolt]

btw since you're putting the code in the logic object, you can use its position without even naming it by using this in the code (this refers to the object):
either do this (the better version)

{
    (getPosWorld this nearestObject _x) hideObject true
} forEach ["8645018", ...] 

or this (slightly worse because of network traffic):

if (isServer) then
{
  {
      (getPosWorld this nearestObject _x) hideObjectGlobal true
  } forEach ["8645018", ...]
}

[vapid ravine]

why is it weorse cuz network trafic?

as its more effficent

[keen jolt]

well the first one doesn't send any network code. it just runs for every player
the second one runs on the server, and the server sends a network message to other players to do the same thing
in this case since it's only running once it doesn't matter. if the code was running more than once it would matter

also hideObjectGlobal (and other similar commands) had some issues when you ran them in init. I'm not sure if it's been fixed. but in the past sometimes they failed to work

[vapid ravine]

alright ill run the server one and hope

modded arma is already taxing so running a thing once may help

[keen jolt]

no just use the first one. it's better and safer

[vapid ravine]

oh ok

    (getPosWorld this nearestObject _x) hideObject true
} forEach ["8645018", "8649373","8647912" ]  ```

[keen jolt]

yeah

[vapid ravine]

yeah should work

• one objective i need to destroy manually anyway

Alternatively, sort by recently updated?

quick question im hunting a bug that im encountering on my server wherein players are unable to use lockon weapons. can fire but no audio or visual indicator (the diamond and beeping) AI is able to use them and if a zeus RCs an AI they are then able to use lockons normally.

have consulted with mod authors and server hosting company. mod authors unaware of anything that would cauuse this in their mods. server company thinks its a mission setting but I am at a loss.

[faint seal]

Does anyone know how to use Alive to set up kinda like a conquest mode ai against players? I could really use some help with that.

[fresh oracle]

Sounds like an issue I had when I was using the profiling build. If you are using it try stable. The only other way is to disable mods one by one until it's gone.

[dim kindle]

my client isnt using the profiling build just checked. thanks for the input. dont think the server would would assume both server and connected clients need to be the same version so looks like im gonna have to rebuild the modpack from the ground up, thats gonna be fun.

[fresh oracle]

Do you mean modpack as in a list of mods or as lots of mods you combined into one?

[dim kindle]

think ill make do for this weekends events then clear the server next week test with vanilla to ensure that its fixes and its not a server issue then go from there and rebuild a new modpack.

[dim kindle]

list of mods.

i aint got the skills to even try merge mods.

[fresh oracle]

For some reason lots of people try to merge the mods and then break everything.

[dim kindle]

yeah nah might not look pretty having 50 mods but i aint got the skills to merge so i make do.

plus most of them are tiny QOL mods eg map tools and ace vaulting and rappeling

ect ect

the big ones are RHS and CUPS

plus stuff like two primary weapons (for my sniper teams) chemical warfare and some zeus foncues ones like zeus additions and of cause TFAR

thanks for the input been hitting this wall for over two weeks now and was feeling like id gone mad

[fresh oracle]

I hope you're making sure that you're not using both CUP and RHS vehicles/weapons in the same mission because they have different armour balancing, meaning a CUP rifle can take out an RHS tank.

[dim kindle]

yeah I use RHS with one player group and CUP with the other wish they could agree on which they both want but i just run the ops i aint the boss lol

great players but they have their quirks

so next week is a knock down and rebuild week by the looks

My general method is collective to 0, start engine, wait for engine to reach rpm, increase collective when ready to take off

Question -
How to make it that once task is finished or failed its statues cant be changed?

Example - You have HVT who has a trigger if not alive mission failed.

• There is area on the map where if the hvt is present mission accomplished.

But then once you delete the entity the task fails even though it was just accomplished.

How to prevent this?

[turbid olive]

You can create variables to check tasks, I generally use this method

ok, task 01 is completed, so you create/modify a variable in your trigger like task01_completed = true; and in another trigger checks this variable in the condition, if it's true, triggers the task completion status

you can also add this variable to the trigger that fails the task, I don't know how you doing this, but as an example:

(!alive hvt) && {!task01_completed}

something like that

so it prevents triggering it when you delete the entity

[deep crown]

does anyone know how to make these error messages go away?

[prisma oyster]

yes, fix the script

[deep crown]

its from a mod

but i think i know which one is causing it

Do you have advanced flight model on in settings? If you do throttle only changes collective, not engine, so you need to turn it on manually. Some (most) modded don't support AFM.

Hello everyone. I'm editing a mission on Arma 3 and I would like to know if there is a command line that allows me to count the deaths in my camp, (where there is the grave symbol on my screenshot)? Ideally I would like the command to allow me to do: "If there are 64 (for example) deaths in the OPFOR camp, then the game ends"

[plain gale]

if you use 3den Enhanced it has an anttribute for that.

if isServer then
{
    TAG_Casualties_Counter = 0;

    addMissionEventHandler ['EntityKilled',
    {
        params ['_killed'];
            
        if (side group _killed isEqualTo east) then
        {
            TAG_Casualties_Counter = TAG_Casualties_Counter + 1;
        };
        
        if (TAG_Casualties_Counter >= 64) exitWith
        {
            removeMissionEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler];
            ["yourbriefing", true] remoteExecCall ['BIS_fnc_endMission', 0];
        };

There is a setting for that in Eden editor. It's called disableAI iirc.

Does anyone know of a way that I could make a player pick up an item that causes them to receive a hint that only they can see?

thank you

[buoyant drift]

Take should work - you can "target" which player gets the intel a bunch of ways, either set a variable on the unit in eden something like this setVariable['getsSpecialIntel', true] or similar or by steam id - for one of my halloween ops I did something similar - it was a guys birthday so I gave him doomsday rounds, I knew someone would loot his body so anyone but his steam id picking them up...teleported the player off map, removed all weapons, broke both legs via ace medical and where they found two Smashers waiting for them 😄

Can some people give me some ideas on how to get my convoy of players to stop their vehicles in order to check something out. last time I used broken cars in the road to make them stop and check for ieds then disable them, which had a trigger for an ambush but I don’t want to use the same thing twice. Any ideas would be helpful

You can ping me or dm me if you have ideas

[prisma oyster]

• one of the convoy vehicles has an issue (a flat, coolant leak, broken engine, etc)
• a civilian (guerilla in disguise) runs to them and halts them "for help"
• they receive an order to turn back, and during the turning back manoeuvre, the enemy attacks
• a meteorite hits the road
• a nuke is in the horizon
• Santa Claus lands in front of them then pulls one AK in each hand

[buoyant drift]

Santa Claus lands in front of them then pulls one AK in each hand

Unironically one of my xmas ops was to hunt down and take out the fat man 😄

[buoyant yoke]

Thanks for the ideas. it’s a little to early for Santa but the civilian idea is good, maybe a bomber

[buoyant drift]

in one of my zeus ops I strewed some destroyed vics around the road - which to me would scream minefield - my players apparently not so much, one drove into it - then in the cook off the other couldn't hear the first screaming minefield and drove closer to hear what he was screaming 😄

Hi guys. Just a quick one. I have created a cutscene using the key frame animation module and camera at the start of a multiplayer mission I'm building to which works great, but seems only I see it. The other two players just load in to the game as normal. Ive tried adding
["timeline_Intro"] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_keyframeStart", 0]; to the trigger On Activation field to try and have all players see the keyframe module. This was info through chatgpt so not sure if it will work. anyone have any idea if this is the correct way to have all players see the camera module cutscene effect at the start? Appreciate any help.

And most users probably wouldn't want it. Eh

[plain gale]

Yeah, that as well. But it needs git.

[teal finch]

https://tenor.com/view/aja-jim-carrey-ace-ventura-pet-detective-hrmm-gif-5703800

There's accidents far to often, even though I try NOT to kill them haha

[prisma oyster]

you could use a Killed or HandleRating event handler so you don't get in the negatives, eventually

[buoyant drift]

player addRating 1000000; in initPlayerLocal/onPlayerRespawn 😉

I had to do that because my guys play as mercs and while I charge them for killing civs I don't prevent it and they kept getting tagged as sideEnemy which mean friendly AI on their airfield would open fire on them 🙈

if you don't have that setup, in eden you should just be able to do this addRating 1000000; in the init field for the player unit - you can then have a lot of accidents - obs can tune the value to increase/reduce how fast you go sideEnemy because a million is a lot 😄

Is there a easy way to create a function to sleep during the night to speed up the time?

[buoyant drift]

you can use setDate or skipTime as appropriate

though the nicer way in some contexts is to increase the time multiplier so the nights are shorter

that's what the liberation folks do - they let you set a multiplayer so after a certain time, time "speeds up" until dawn hits

https://github.com/KillahPotatoes/KP-Liberation/blob/master/Missionframework/scripts/server/game/manage_time.sqf like that

[plain gale]

I would need a command which I could provide the mission.sqm content to if I want to allow the user to load different backup versions.

And I don't remember an action. Just load3denscenario

[sinful zenith]

Or an extension that creates a mission folder with the backed-up contents

[plain gale]

Well true. I can already do that.

That is actually not a bad idea. The user just needs to rename the folder that's the only inconvenience

unless your talking about menuPosition stuff, i don't use menuPosition

@keen bramble make a recording of the sound you want, then make sure you convert it to .OGG file , then you must put the sound in a folder called Sound, in the main mission folder, then in the Description.ext, you would put

//Sounds
class CfgSounds
{
    class CopyBeThereNoTime
    {
        name = "CopyBeThereNoTime";
        sound[] = {sound\CopyBeThereNoTime.ogg, db-7, 1.0};
        titles[] = {0, ""};
    };
};

then you could do this ```sqf
playsound "CopyBeThereNoTime";

in a trigger or script or whatever

[lilac quest]

I have a respawn module named that, it works in local host but not in a dedicated server

[turbid olive]

Explain what is not working. How do you set up the respawn module?

It should normally work in dedi

[slow jewel]

@lilac quest you don't need to use a respawn module get rid of that

just do the Description.ext thing and the marker and your done wala it works

in the Description.ext

respawn = 3;

and place the marker "respawn_west" where you want it

[buoyant drift]

or respawn_east if opfor etc - I've seen that catch people out 🙂

[slow jewel]

yes correct

[turbid olive]

There are alternatives, yes, but u can't say like "get ride of that", it works, it's better to see what is wrong with it first to help him understand the usage of the modules

[modern parcel]

so ive placed down a few veichles and i want them to respawn in the position with their crews every few minutes if the existing one has been destroyed how do i do it

these are veichles driven by ai btw not players or player veichles

[turbid olive]

if you're using the respawn module for vehicles, look for the expression field, and then put something like this:
createVehicleCrew (_this # 0)

[modern parcel]

what respawn module can you link a tutorial

im making a squad style singleplayer mission rn with nr6 hal and attempting to do the veichle respawns

[turbid olive]

see if this works for you

[slow jewel]

@turbid olive ok copy that

[turbid olive]

respawn modules are good for other things that just a respawn market can't do it

[lilac quest]

what does the '3' mean in respawn=3? does it correspond to a side?

[slow jewel]

@turbid olive rgr that m8 understood

@lilac quest the =3 means the same as respawn at BASE

[midnight mulch]

Respawn on Custom Position

Or BASE yea

Weird question for yall. Does anyone else have the weird issue were respawns will suddenly stop working for players, at random?

[slow jewel]

but im my case the custom pos is the respawn marker "respawn_west"

nope never happend to me

are u usein mods ?

or do you have tickets in your respawntemplete

and is this on a hosted server or DED server

[midnight mulch]

Yes, mods. Nothing that should mess with respawns tho. ACE, no medical, PIR with ACE compats...

No tickets. I never use tickets.

Self hosted server

[slow jewel]

what type or respawn are you useing

[midnight mulch]

It used to disable after 5 respawns but adding respawn = 3; to the description.ext fixed that, but now it only sometimes disables it

[midnight mulch]

I used markers originally but switched to respawn modules

[slow jewel]

well im not that good with respawn modules

[midnight mulch]

I have 4K hours in the game but this is the first time I've seen this

[slow jewel]

i don't like that schreen poping up in my mission

[midnight mulch]

Then again, this particular mission we die alot so maybe it's not normal

[midnight mulch]

I do have respawn positions enabled, as players can setup rally points for mobile respawn pos

5 second respawn delay too

[slow jewel]

yeah i never had any respawn go bad in any of my missions

[midnight mulch]

How strange. A quick relog fixes it but it can happen to me too lmao. I cant exactly relog easily

[slow jewel]

did u look at your RPT file after it happend

[midnight mulch]

I may just drop PIR and all the fancy medical stuff altogether and stick with the A3 player revive. Only after using PIR it happens

[midnight mulch]

Good idea. It didnt occur to me at the time

[slow jewel]

whats PIR

[midnight mulch]

Project Injury Reaction

Cool mod, finnicky at times. It should affect respawns but

Should not**

[slow jewel]

oh my i never use that stuff but its ok

[midnight mulch]

I got it on a whim after a buddy recommended it

[slow jewel]

i use no mods i wont put mods in my clean Arma 3 game

[midnight mulch]

To each their own. I am slowly phasing into a vanilla plus style of play anyhow

[slow jewel]

cool m8 your like it way more

[midnight mulch]

I already like vanilla arma. I just get lore friendly mods for added content

[slow jewel]

i have not used a mod for like 20 years now

and i never had 1 thing go wrong

way back in A2 and OA i did use mods but i got sick of all the erras and such

and OFP ofcorse

i dont even have any DLC but i can still use the DLC stuff on the enemy

like i give my enemy Aks from the old man DLC

[midnight mulch]

I believe we are drifting off topic, but I respect your decision for a clean game

[slow jewel]

thx m8

so what was the topic

oh yeah respawn

cuz you have so little times you guys respawn you may be interested in my Team respawn script

[midnight mulch]

Perhaps. I just want respawns to be reliable 100% of the time

But I will work with my mods and see why. Probably PIR

[slow jewel]

well i must say useing =3 in the Description.ext and having a "respawn_west" marker works good

i never had that fail

but thats old school way as it were

and people say im old but im not im only 64

[midnight mulch]

Yea

[slow jewel]

yeah i tryed the respawn module and it just didnt seem right to me having that schreen pop up in the mission

it kinda took the feel of real war away for some reason

[midnight mulch]

Yeah, fair

[slow jewel]

the only thing i want poping up is the spectating mode

and hints and system chat as it were

and other chats too

but like you said thats just me

[slow jewel]

@midnight mulch here you go m8 if you want to do it another way

[midnight mulch]

Did yall know the 2D editor is still available???

If you hit CTRL O on the world select for the editor it opens the 2d editor for the map

[small patrol]

Yes

I even recall people "that sucks that they entirely removed 2D Editor, we loved it" when Eden is introduced, despite it was long known they will "remove" it

[slow jewel]

umm witch Editer are you guys talking about
