i just hit the m key in the editer and the 2d comes up

#

ofcouse thats vanilla arma 3 i use both 2d and 3d editer back and forth all day long

#

iv used the 2d and 3d editer for as long as i can remember i don't think they ever removed it

plain gale
#

No. If you go in the main menu, press on the editor button the terrain selection opens. If you press ctrl + o there, you get access to the 2d editor

slow jewel
#

wounder why my 2d editer comes up when i just hit the M key while im in the editer

#

or the little map icon up at top right also does it

#

are you guys useing some other editer then what i have ?

small patrol
#

That means you didn't read what R3vo said

turbid olive
#

agreed, that's why I've made my own custom respawn screen

slow jewel
#

oh i see ok @plain gale @small patrol

#

but what's the word "No" there for i don't understand

small patrol
#

That implies re-read what he said

slow jewel
#

but what i said is true about the M key and the 2d and 3d, and he says 1st word is "No"

#

i don't have anything against @plain gale i like him i was just woundering why the word No

runic cloud
#

because you're wrong the 2d editor is the original editor for arma 3, what you're looking at is the map inside the 3d editor

#

they're completely different and if you did what r3vo said you'd see that

turbid olive
#

2d editor, good times

plain gale
#

Yeah, hitting preview 9999 times to get a soda can place on a table, or worse, using attach too for every item 😄

turbid olive
slow jewel
#

oh ok i see thx you @runic cloud

#

i was not aware of the differance in the 2d editer and the 2d map inside the 3d editor

#

i guess that was easy to get corn fused

#

for me any way

#

sorry i was corn fused i didn't mean to cause any problum

Hey not sure why my move command doesn't work. I put units in a vehicle. It has a driver. I gave them a move waypoint. The squad leader gives the move command. The driver does nothing. I can't figure this out. This should be the simplest thing ever and it just doesn't work

#

I can give the command as squad leader and it works, but for some reason the AI can't. It's honestly annoying the hell out of me how difficult it is to do the simplest tasks in this editor compared to the Arma 2 editor.

small patrol
#

Likely because your Mod is doing something wrong

lost oyster
#

I have 0 mods installed

#

0 dlc

#

small patrol
#

Okay, then tell more about it. It's not about A2 vs A3, you're just doing something wrong. Screenshots please

lost oyster
small patrol
#

How you can be sure leader gives the command properly?

lost oyster
small patrol
#

Try other examples. No passengers, just a car and a driver

lost oyster
#

Could it be because I didn't use the driver that came with the vehicle?

small patrol
#

No. That is not a case

lost oyster
#

Worked fine with just a driver and car

small patrol
#

What about driver and a leader?

lost oyster
#

It only works if the leader is the driver.

small patrol
#

Usually leader orders driver should simply work

lost oyster
#

Yea. Not entirely sure why it isn't. I might try him starting out of the vehicle and then getting in

small patrol
#

Who is the leader? You sure the leader is the same group with the driver?

lost oyster
#

I checked and yea. The leader is in the same group, in the same vehicle, and when i added myself I could hear him give a move order.

small patrol
#

What about similar situation but different vehicle, like Hunter?

lost oyster
#

Will try that in a second. I tried having them start out of the vehicle and get in and that worked fine

#

Didn't work there either. it seems to be an issue with people starting in vehicles. Which seems to be a common issue I have found. The AI really doesn't like being spawned in vehicles.

small patrol
#

Do you place an empty vehicle and drag n drop people in it?

lost oyster
#

So what I had been doing was placing a vehicle, that spawns with a driver, deleting the initial driver and adding in the people I wanted. The first person being the driver who I was planning on just being a rifleman. If i select the whole group and move them into the vehicle it puts the SL in the driver seat and that does work fine.

#

The only weird thing is if I start them out of the vehicle the squad leader will get in the back and a rifleman will take the wheel and it works then aswell. The only time I have an issue is when I start the vehicle with someone other than the SL in the driver seat.

small patrol
#

I actually think you did something very particular thing wrong, I might test it after I'm back home (within 12 hours)

lost oyster
#

Ah alright. Well at the very least I can make it work for now with the SL driving, appreciate the help.

small patrol
#

If you can zip the mission and drop it here

#

I'm making my own mission with the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC. For some reason I can't get the "Withstand" feature of the Advance Revive Module to work in multiplayer. In single player editor or multiplayer editor (when I'm alone) it works, but as soon as I host my own game and have my friends join the "withstand" feature doesn't show up, the bleed out timer and everything else does. I don't understand why, I verified my game files and reinstalled the game and it still doesn't work, am I missing something for hosted multiplayer games?

lost oyster
#

Anyone got ideas? lol

#

Seems to only bug when I have stance set to 'no change'

small patrol
#

What did you do

lost oyster
#

Was using a set mode object modifier to make it so a patrol switched from walking with safe behavior to running with aware behavior

#

The mission is a basic convoy ambush with mines. I was setting up an unrelated patrol off a few clicks to the side that would start out just walking down a dirt road but would run over to the explosion after the convoy hits the mines. Works great aside from having to set the stance to standing. Though I actually haven't tested if hardsetting their stance to stand will stop them from crouching and going prone when under fire.

lost oyster
#

Is there any other way to change a unit from Safe to Aware and from Limited movement to Full movement on a trigger not using the SetMode Module?

small patrol
#

It is very likely that the module is just bugged. Use setUnitPos manually

lost oyster
#

Thank ya but I just realized I'm an idiot and could have got the same effect by changing their behavior on the waypoints.

What is the easiest way to see if a building is destructible? The only thing I know of is placing it in the editor and test it locally but that takes alot of time haha

Good evening all, I hope this is the right channel. I'm hoping the add the traditional swiss guard uniform to arma3 but I can't find a mod. My question is ,is it hard to make one ?

frail fulcrum
#

Is there any easier way to build walls, roads, or such? I know i can copy and paste them but the tweaking takes forever.

Just wondering if there was anything like the DrawBuild module in Crows zeus mod.

plain gale
#

Without mods. Copy and paste on origin and use the translation widget to only move the object along its axis.

#

If you wanna use mods, there is a snapping mod. Unfortunately I don't recall its name.

frail fulcrum
#

Ye im usin both methods just didnt know if there was another :P

kind prism
#

You're not placing one by one, right? Double each copy paste, then once you have a big section you can mostly work with that.
For tweaking, what are you having to do?

#

Im trying to make a “city” using the tanoa buildings, but placing the sidewalks and roads is taking a massive amount of time and i was wondering if there was a way to speed it up outside the copy paste method

Is the snapping working on the curb pieces? I think I added them

yes agree thx m8

buoyant drift

I always forget that's a thing tbf, only remembered it because I used it this morning for something for an upcoming op - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVBeFYAuMAY (was working with convoys and wanted to pull all vics and drivers into a seperate group so I could apply the appropriate behavious to them specifically and not mess with the passengers in the vehicles)

nice m8 thx @buoyant drift

@buoyant drift but don't this apply to all the units in the group anyway

{_x setBehaviour "AWARE"} forEach (units group);

#

forEach (units group);

buoyant drift
slow jewel
#

i see

#

so all would need would be ?

buoyant drift
#

docs have a neat table (folded by default), silly that -

slow jewel
#

ahh i see ok

#

nice thx

buoyant drift
#

generally I work at the group level (since I run lambs on everything and it has it's own group commander logic, it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to micro manage down to the unit level since I'll end up fighting lambs) - lambs works best when you don't "hold it the wrong way" - set top level things and leave it to do the micromanagment - not least because it does it really well

slow jewel
#

so all i really need is

#

_grp setBehaviourStroung "AWARE";

buoyant drift
#

of course if I do want lambs to butt out, you can set variables on specific units/groups to say to lambs "do not touch this"

buoyant drift
slow jewel
#

cuz i use the Ver _grp

#

cool

#

thats awsome

buoyant drift
#

depending on what you are doing, be aware that forcing AWARE isn't usually nescessary, SAFEwill go to AWARE themselves if sideIsEnemy strolls into view

slow jewel
#

copy that

buoyant drift
slow jewel
#

thats really cool thx man

buoyant drift
#

SAFE is a good default because they'll switch to AWARE automatically, CARELESS they won't, CARELESS is useful where you explicitly want them to be "dumb" and not see the players congo-lining across the field in front of them

slow jewel
#

roger that m8

buoyant drift
#

it also affects how they drive - combatMode and behaviour effect how likely they are to stay on roads or go off road - so there are appropriate use cases for both 🙂

slow jewel

yes nice Awsome man thx you for the info my brother

now i have to change all that in my 2000 missions lol

Hello.

I have a problem with extdb3 mod

Im using de extdb3 addon to connect with my mariadb database for a mission.

I tried asking chatgpt, and all it tells me is that I'm missing the mysql-async.dll library.

But it doesn't do anything but give me errors.

So I tried searching for it online, but it doesn't show up anywhere. I don't know what to think anymore. Either the mod is no longer supported, and that's why that library isn't there, or I'm doing something wrong because it won't let me connect to the database server.

Here's the error log::
"---------- Initializing Database ----------"
"extDB3 Version: 1.033"
Warning: 21050 ms spent in callExtension calling name: "extDB3", function: "9:ADD_DATABASE:Database"

Does anyone have an easy way to make a piece of shoothouse wall impenetrable to bullets in multiplayer, without having to write a custom mod?

It seems it considers some penetration before it gets deleted

So my Arma 3 for some reason no longer loads any of my custom compositions, any of my unfinished scenarios, and all of my controls/keybinds have been changed. I don't know what's going on or what to do but my game is seemingly busted. I check my documents to see if everything was wiped but nope, my compositions and scenarios are saved to my computer its just the game won't load anything. Even if I boot the thing up without mods

prisma oyster
slow jewel
#

Some functions may not continue running properly after loading a saved game

gritty needle
#

I thought so, but everything related to profiles is just broken. I can't switch profiles, even tho I had multiple before I started deleting things trying to troubleshoot, and for whatever reason, I cannot make a new profile and the text box to name new profiles is broken, I can't even click it

slow jewel
#

ut oh

gritty needle
#

Verify the integrity of game files? Cause I tried that too

#

I even went and manually uninstalled everything, but made sure to copy my compositions and scenarios onto a different folder, reinstalled the entire game and am still running into the same issue

#

It just won't load my profile and even worse, won't load the things I spent hundreds of hours making

#

And I didn't have any new mods or weird things installed from the last time it worked and when it started bugging out

#

I'm at a complete loss ngl

#

What's really tripping me out is that I can't even make a new profile without it bugging out

slow jewel
#

after you did the reinstall did the game work at all on the default profile

gritty needle
#

I mean the game works, I can play it and stuff it just refuses to recognize any saved data

slow jewel
#

hmmm thats a strange one

#

there must be some file thats effecting the game that remains on your pc if the same issue is happening

gritty needle
#

What's weird tho is that it worked fine, I closed the game, went to work, came back to continue working on a scenario and everything was gone

#

And nothing was installed or changed during that gap

ChatGPT most likely gave you garbage

The extDB3 dll is named extDB3.dll or extDB3_x64.dll
Current archive repository: https://github.com/SteezCram/extDB3
There is a wiki and some information on the github: https://github.com/SteezCram/extDB3/wiki
These seem to be guides for it:

how do you stop loadouts from being saved when respawning? i'm making a zeus op for my friends where they have limited equipment but whenever you respawn the equipment on you respawns with you, how do you stop this?

#

and i do have "Save Loadout" in the multiplayer settings turned off

# wraith spear how do you stop loadouts from being saved when respawning? i'm making a zeus op ...

I just remove everything from the players when they respawn if I want them to start with an empty uniform, or restore whatever they had on them the last time they exited the ace arsenal - I found that simpler - in simplest case just chuck something like sqf removeAllWeapons player; removeAllItems player; removeAllAssignedItems player; removeVest player; removeBackpack player; removeHeadgear player; removeGoggles player; player linkItem "ItemMap"; player linkItem "ItemCompass"; player linkItem "ItemWatch"; player linkItem "ItemRadio"; in your onPlayerRespawn.sqf/initPlayerLocal.sqf

#

I found that easier and I like that it's in the code - I can tweak that later/reuse it without having to remember to futz with it in eden later

wraith spear
#

didn't realize "save loadout" button in multiplayer settings restores the ORIGINAL loadout they start with

buoyant drift
#

if you want it so that whatever they picked and had on them when they close the arsenal (and assuming ace) (in initPlayerLocal.sqf), sqf [ "ace_arsenal_displayClosed", { hint "Saved your respawn loadout..."; player setVariable["lastLoadout", getUnitLoadout player]; } ] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler; and then player setUnitLoadout (player getVariable "lastLoadout"); in onPlayerRespawn.sqf works well for me/us 🙂

#

since most players grab the same loadout for the entire op I was nice and made them have to skip running to the arsenal every time

#

^ reason I do it this way is if I want them to get stuff that they get for free out the arsenal but not stuff they bought from the shop (so if they die with say a drone detector on them which is a purchasable item, that can be filtered out) since we have an economy on our ops (playing as mercs :D)

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://pastebin.com/ (Set expiry time to 1 week or less) to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.

How do you get them to show while inside a submarine? The game technically doesn't consider you "underwater", but inside a vehicle

Basically when inside a vehicle, the unit wears the goggles but they do not appear on their character model

lone zephyr
#

anyone know how to have a drone switch faction in the editor ?

#

for example I have a drone that independent specific but I want it to be blue

buoyant drift
#

or on the programming side - it's pretty common to have a function that creates a vehicle from one side and then crews it with units from the other since putting a west crew in an indy vic will make it a "west" vic - it's certainly how I do it since it lets me spawn any vic I want with any side I want and have it behave as that side (which is nice when you want to "kitbash" by swapping crews) - for completeness you can also swap textures around (or use a neutral one) since it looks a bit weird a ukrainian crew getting out of a T-series tank that has a Russian texture or whatnot.

Paying someone a commission to use the tools I think would still be commercial use, as there is a sale of services
This is the Arma tools licence: https://store.steampowered.com/eula/233800_eula_0
It appears like you need to get permission from BI before commissioning a map (unlikely, but not impossible, ask first)
MarioE in this discord, or BI legal through email is who you would need to contact

BI is a lot more strict about monetization and commercial use than many companies,
I think in part because of issues with servers and modders around 10 years ago (long before I started playing arma)

No idea
But if you can make the stuff in roblox, then you can make it in Arma
There are addons that can make it easier than just using terrain builder directly

add a killed handler to the units, inside of that have them spawn a new unit of that class at the original position and add it to the same same group as the killed unit was in - then when they die a new unit that is the "same" (class not unit) will be created and since they are in the same group, the new unit will head to whatever waypoint/task the old unit was doing - that should work(TM)

slow jewel
#

yes agree

#

and ofcorse we have loadouts to consider also

buoyant drift
#

depends how sophisticated you want to make it, I'd consider doing it completely differently but that would also require proper scripts, I'd use EntityCreated to capture the information I wanted them to have at respawn (inital position, initial loadout etc) and then use that to determine what to do when they die but this is arma3_editor not arma3_scripting 😉

slow jewel
#

yes agree

#

i use entityKilled and entityRespawned EH-lers

buoyant drift
#

aye but from eden, sqf this addEventHandler ["Killed", { params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"]; }]; in the units field would be simpler, can use typeOf _unit to get what it was and then just create it at a fixed point (which is why I asked ^) 🙂

buoyant drift
#

there is one wrinkle with doing ^ that way though, the replacement unit wouldn't have the event handler since it was created on the unit via eden - it really would be better to do it with a mission level event handler

Hi. I want to add ambient airport sound to an area. Players can activate it when they enter and deactivate it when they leave. I tried playSound3D and say3D, but they didn't work. Can you help?

slow jewel
#

@undone karma "aeropuerto" remoteExec ["playSound"]; this would go in the trigger

#

then in the Description.ext

//Sounds
class CfgSounds
{
    class aeropuerto
    {
        name = "aeropuerto";
        sound[] = {sound\aeropuerto.ogg, db-2, 1.0};
        titles[] = {0, ""};
    };
};
undone karma
#

I did that. My sound is called "aeropuerto"

undone karma
slow jewel
#

roger that m8 @undone karma

#

also you can ajust the db-2 to what ever you want for the sound level @undone karma

#

-2 or +2 or +5 or whatever

slow jewel
#

@undone karma let me know how you get on, ok m8

teal finch
undone karma
# slow jewel -2 or +2 or +5 or whatever

Hi Scotty. Thanks for the help. The script works the same as (playSound "aeropuerto";)
What I want to achieve is for the sound to turn off when the player exits the trigger. I read that this can be done with playSound3D or say3D.

slow jewel
#

@undone karma well what i do is, i have the trigger on repete, and then if any blufror go in the trigger the sound plays till the end, then if we leave and come back the sound plays again and so

but there is away to do what you want also

Oh, do you mean the flag patch on the shoulder of the uniform?

dim kindle
#

i wanna add a russian flag on the ai

#

on the side

lethal pulsar
#

Unfortunately not
There's an insignia on one side that you can set with the arsenal, and the unit patch on the other side.
But the actual flag patches are part of the uniform textures.
(On most uniforms, there might be some where it's a separate hiddenSelection that can be set with scripting)

Your only choices are retexture that part of the uniform or choose a russian uniform
(Granit is the vanilla contact russian uniform, if that works, probably won't look right on Altis though)

dim kindle

you can define a custom insignia

like public zeus

Hey so I configured the loadouts of my soldiers and applied them. They look like they should in the editor but when I start the scenario they revert back to the original. Then when I go back into the editor they are fixed again. Is there some setting I missed?

slow jewel
#

when you say start the scenario: do you mean, host the scenario in MP server: or SP

#

and also how are you putting the loadouts on the soldiers, and do you have a Description.ext in your mission folder

fallow schooner
fallow schooner
slow jewel
#

yeah that don't tell me how,, you are putting the loadouts on the soldiers, how are you doing it

#

are you putting code in the init of the soldiers or ?

#

or are you execVM a script on the soldiers ?

fallow schooner
#

the eden editor just has an aresenal option for soldiers

#

im using that

slow jewel
#

so what u are saying is you must get your loadout every time you start the mission

#

so the loadouts get saved in the aresenal not in the soldiers

fallow schooner
#

no

slow jewel
#

if you want the soldiers to start with a kind of loadout you want you must do some more steps

fallow schooner
#

I right click on the soldier and there is an arsenal option. I configure there loadouts then i hit apply then they are wearing what I put on them in the arsenal but its not saving to the mission when I actually play it

slow jewel
#

im telling you it don't save in the mission

#

if you want the soldiers to start with a kind of loadout you want you must do some more steps

fallow schooner
#

then why is that even an option?

slow jewel
#

so you can test stuff

fallow schooner
#

test what

#

the look of an outfit

slow jewel
#

test weapons and stuff

fallow schooner
#

it doesnt let me do that

#

its not there when I start the scenario

slow jewel
#

what you must be kidding me

fallow schooner
#

i dont we are understanding each other

slow jewel
#

the Aresenal does not save stuff on the soldiers,

fallow schooner
#

im not talking about the regular aresenal

slow jewel
#

ok but the Aresenal is the Aresenal no matter what

#

like i said the Aresenal does not save stuff on the soldiers

#

you can save loadouts in the Aresenal: and apply them to soldiers in the mission after you start the mission

fallow schooner
#

thats not what im doing....

slow jewel
#

you mean thats not what you want to happen

fallow schooner
#

no i mean thats not what ive been doing

slow jewel

so what do you want to happen

fallow schooner
#

what

slow jewel

i can guess, i think you want the soldiers to start with a loadout that you want right ?

if you don't tell me what you want to happen, i guess i cant help you

but if you go to the scripting channel they can

#

that may not be the correct chn but thats a start

#

them guys in there are Awsome

fallow schooner
#

oh it might have smth to with how i have the respawn setup

#

When people join the mission they have to respawn. I honestly dont know why its like this ive done respawns in the past and this did not happen. But since there is no loadouts in the respawn screen It probably just defaults to the original Instead of the custom?

#

does that sound right?

slow jewel
#

how do you respawn them

fallow schooner
#

like isntead of them joining the mission and them being alive

#

they have to respawn

#

at mission start

slow jewel
#

there a setting in the Description.ext for respawning

# 
//respawn
respawn        = 3;
respawnDelay   = 20;
respawnTemplates[] = {"Tickets"};
respawnOnStart = -1;//<---means dont respawn on start

I want to use the "respawn on custom position" system for a mission but i want the first spawn to occupy the units placed in eden, so the players can start in specific positions and vehicles
however arma kills all units when occupied by a player to allow them to choose their respawn position
if i set it to not allow players to choose their respawn position it doesn't kill them upon spawn but changes the game rules to respawn on position of death

is there a way to make the first spawn not get insta respawned?

if you use 3den Enhanced, there is an attribute for that.

if not, you can probably use the following code. Perhaps add some entity filters.

Relatively new member here, hi everyone! If I could trouble anyone interested I need player count to test one of my creations. At least 10 players would be fine but the max count is 48

#

The map is Tanoa, expeditionary and deluxe edition may or may not be required. The creation is a large scale cooperation and I have MCC + Ares.

#

I couldn't figure out the scripting rearm/repair/refuel so I have invisible props that can do what the scripts would.

#

If anyone is interested in testing my creation please dm me though a friend request would be needed to do so.

Wdym?

#

I only have 3 mods installed, MCC which is a mission generator and more simplistic Zeus function and Ares which makes encounters more immersing and easier to construct. Plus the dependency.

The carrier, destroyers and land ship are all DLC

#

If you have Expeditionary forces and deluxe edition or all base dlc I believe you can play this map but I'm sure I've also set it to no dlc requirements

I've toned down the number of players with it now being 34 + 1 game master.

I've come across an issue where two or more consecutive deaths makes it impossible to spawn on any ship, is there any way to fix this?

paper yarrow
dim kindle
#

Yes the standard respawn module, I've set the controlling faction to Blufor and the script as respawn_west. While I think this works for land spawns I don't believe it counts ships since they're static objects.

#

It respawns me on the ship once then every other spawn I'll be in the water

dim kindle
#

I noticed a pattern. When I respawn it's respawning me on the dead body itself despite the ruleset being custom position.

#

I'm so confused... all I did was delete the module respawn position and linked a unit directly to a logic entity respawn position and it works.

#

I guess I can respawn like 10 more times to make sure

dim kindle
#

I'm too sleepy for this, it's working but the issue now is that it's still spawning me on dead bodies, so if I jump off the ship it'll respawn me in the ocean.

#

I'll figure this out later

#

I have a feeling it has something to do with me linking the unit directly to the logic respawn or the module respawn and so it's making the unit itself a spawn point

Quick question, maybe some can help:
This is a screenshot from a friends 3den Editor. As you can see (or not) the placed objecs aren't visible. They aren't visible in the misssion too.
They are not set to invisible in the objects attributes.

6a0ae24ea9fa3f232fcc2a7a39490ee2-jpg.png
slow jewel
#

maybe they have them hidden for some reason

#

look in the mission to see if there some kinda hide stuff going on

wanton storm
#

They don't. I suspect them to have hidden them by some sort of keyboad shortcut by accident. But I dont't have any idea which shortcut has such an effect in the editor dircetly

slow jewel
#

there must be something in the mission file that would give you a clue to whats going on

#

some script or some file in the mission file

#

is the mission file PBO-ed ?

#

if it is you must Un-PBO the mission file and look in there to see whats going on

#

i think they have that stuff hidden for some mission reason like moving that stuff to a new location

#

just a guess tho

#

if it was a keyboad shortcut there it would be Defined in the mission folder or files

wanton storm
#

Nope. No scripts at worke or something like that...
Mission isn't PBO-ed.
Also this screenshot is directly from the editor. So they are hidden in the editor. They spawn in the mission but can't be seen but they are there.
This applies to all objects.
I thougth of some sort of texture issue.
But vanilla objects being effected seems like a really bad bug

He told me, that changing layer visability didn't helped.
He fixed it my by manually changing the objects visability from "Unchanged" when placing down the objects in the editor to "limited by terrain visability" for each placed object.
Changing it to "limited by object view distance" didn't helpd either.

hmmm

#

so its fixed now yes ?

Nope.
But he told me he was using a modded map and the problem appears only on that map. So I guess thats the problem.

if you open up or un-PBO the End_Game mission you can see in there how to do it

what do u think of that

or you could just make your own custom loadouts and that would be all they can use

and addAction your custom loadouts to a Ammo box

then hide the BIS box some where just in case you need it

Struggling with something atm. Trying to figure out how to prepare a paradrop with a trigger. I lifted crates in air and sync them to Show/Hide module. So they would not be visible all time. Then when planes fly over I would activate the trigger.
BUT the boxes with ammo just drop like rocks to the ground without deploy parachute.
Any ideas how to force the parachute to deploy? or better way.

[objNull, myAmmoBoxName] call BIS_fnc_curatorObjectEdited;

Gonna try it in sec

# buoyant bear Gonna try it in sec

send me the classname of the crate, the position coords and I will make you a small spawn script with this function, and it also pop green smoke when lands

buoyant bear
#

no smokes, its too many crates, Lets do one as example X 4157 Y 3018 Z 170
LIB_BasicAmmunitionBox_US

turbid olive
#

ok

buoyant bear
#

but the ammo box is customized

#

like the stuff in it

turbid olive
#

@buoyant bear try this. I know yours it's an costumized box, but it's homework for ya, start digging about commands to add stuff in the box after it spawns in the air.

_dropPos = [4157, 3018, 170];
_drop_box = "LIB_BasicAmmunitionBox_US" createVehicle _dropPos;
_drop_box setPosATL _dropPos;
[_drop_box, 500] remoteExec ["setMass", _drop_box];
[objNull, _drop_box] call BIS_fnc_curatorObjectEdited;
buoyant bear
#

where do I execute this

#

and how totrigger?

if the position coords are correct, it should spawns where you want to spawn

Hi, hopefully someone can help me. I'm tring to make an up-gunned m113 sort of composition in 3den. I'm trying to use OtocHlaven to attach things to the barrel of the M2 on the m113 to make it look like a bigger gun. I have been useing the Nato Marshall composition from the workshop as a reference. When I start out with the SOG M113 the OtocHlaven line doesn't seem to work, the new "gun barrel just floats way above the vehicle, so I tried it on the CSLA m113 and for that one it attaches to the barrel like I wanted but then the addweaponturret and removeweaponturret commands don't work. Its confusing and frustrating to say the least, do different dlc use different naming standards in their vehicles or something?

kind prism
#

There's no standard for selection naming (for attach) or turret indexing (for weapon and magazine). You need to check what is in the specific turret.
Try using the selection name from turret config selectionFireAnim or memoryPointGunnerOptics, those are usually animated with the barrel. For turret index get in it and run unitTurret command.

Yes but those suck and I need to put 600 units of the 105 Tube in singular crate to not stres server with 50 boxes for ammo

#

(its a 100 player mission and there are 3 batteries if each gets the basic TBD crate/s server will cryitself to sleep) meowsweats 😂

turbid olive
#

if so, you can use getArtilleryAmmo command to get magazines classnames from the artillery piece, then use commands like addMagazineCargoGlobal to add those magazines in the crate

buoyant bear

Will check it out after i get home, ty for now

and also missing string around the classname like r3vo said

p.s. no clue what sv is

turbid olive

#

server is sv? what is sv

#

😄

turbid olive
buoyant bear
turbid olive
# buoyant bear yup, and yup

ok, so avoid putting the code there like this, because every time that a player enters in the server, it will run this code again lol, because the client/player machine reads this

#

a better solution: put a variable name for this crate and call the command in a SQF file

#

but, you can also put if (!isServer) exitWith {}; before the code

buoyant bear
#

i though it only runs for object that is based on server

#

it aint local object

turbid olive
# 
if (!isServer) exitWith {};
this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["tbd_mortars_105mm_tube", 1000]
buoyant bear
#

also i got the paradrop of supplies ready up and its like 16 crates like you said -
_dropPos = [3971.527, 3021.287, 172.663]; _drop_box = "LIB_BasicAmmunitionBox_US" createVehicle _dropPos; _drop_box setPosATL _dropPos; [_drop_box, 500] remoteExec ["setMass", _drop_box]; [objNull, _drop_box] call BIS_fnc_curatorObjectEdited;

And Server only ticked off in trigger

#

it works but wanna double check it wont kill server
with different crates and positions, etc

#

it should be server only

Hi again, still trying to come up with ways to up-gun the m113s in these compositions I'm trying to do. Is there a way to make weapons fire able to pass freely through an object? I have something stuck over the mg on the 113 to make it look like a larger gun and when I fire the mg the bullets hit the "fake cannon" and stop. The "cannon" is place over the mg barrel and just supposed to make it look bigger at the moment but if I can't make the bullets pass through the fake cannon over the mgs barrel then I'll have to scratch this whole idea. None of the items in the special states section seem to help

teal finch
#

hi masters, need your help
Do you know if there is some mod or setting that make a radar, for example, "usable" for the enemy AI?
and do you know any drone blocker thats usable? so a specific area is unable to reach with a drone until I destroyed the blocker?

light briar
#

You can simulate whatever you want with a trigger. A condition can check that your "radar" is not destroyed, then, a few time after a drone has entered the trigger zone, it is destroyed. You can simulate a missile shot or fire a real one if you prefer. But radar is not enough in that case, you need a missile launcher too.

Hi,

If anyone could help explain why, when giving commands to AI, I can no longer use the ones under keys 5,6,7 and 8?

It works in other mission files but it suddenly stopped in the one I am currently working on.

keen jolt

do they appear in your squad units list at the bottom?

young anvil
#

AI units? yes they do, and all other commands work just fine

#

commands under keys 1,2,3,4 and 9

young anvil
#

by no longer i mean that while working on the mission those few command keys stopped working. I tried switching my arma 3 profiles and that didn't help. When I load a different mission (antistasi ultimate) - they work.

#

idk it makes no sense for it to stop working in just one mission blobdoggoshruggoogly

young anvil
#

well thank you anyways...i'll try loading a mission with a few more people

Hi all! I have a general question about mission optimisation.
How much of an impact does the number of objects in a mission have vs their complexity?
In other words, would I be better off having 100 props with 20 polygons each (2000 polys total) or is it better to have 10 objects of 200 polygons each (still 2000 polys total)?

prisma oyster
slow root
# prisma oyster polygons are not the only criterion, but the general advice is don't optimise un...

I've read this but tbh it's hard for me to infer a guideline out of this.
Thing is, I'm making a mission together with one other dude and he is a massive over-detailer, like putting 300+ props just to detail a single courtyard. We don't even have many AIs on the map yet and the fps/load times are already tanking.
I wanted to have some sort of an established guideline so I could talk some sense into him 😄

prisma oyster
#

loading time = number of entities (loading the list) + variety of entities (loading models/textures)
send him the page, 300+ props for one courtyard can be fine… if there is only one courtyard

#

don't forget to disable simulation / set as simple object too, it saves a lot of perfs
too bad if the cola can is supposed to move when shot, that's a trade you will have to take

slow root
#

problem is it's just one OF courtyards 😄 our mission is at 3500 props currently

#

Yeah whenever possible we turn off simulation/turn on simple object/make them local

prisma oyster
#

good call
and to convince him:

  • measure FPS in the mission
  • delete decorations/props
  • measure FPS in the mission again
  • ????
  • profit

you mean you should not have to many Ai

#

only spawn Ai in as needed then you will be Golden

Does anyone know how to create a spawnpoint for every captured sector in Arma 3 for AI's ofc,,, Like the AI spawn starts behind the sector, and when they capture it they'll spawn in the sector and not behind the last spawn until they lose the sector

Is it possible to have a trigger that doesn't check its condition on an interval and instead needs to be activated manually?

ashen marsh
#

No. But you can use a global var, and check it's value in trigger condition.

The general idea was to have triggers laid out in an area on a map and activated through a mod that allows the Zeus to activate them manually, but this is more of a curiosity than an actual issue. As an alternative I always have ACE actions tied to Zeus

Unsure if right place or not, but is there any modern tutorials for setting up headless clients? I'm trying to do some performance fine tuning using one as I hear it may help, and everything seems half a decade out of date and no longer relevant. So anything actually functional would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

no,

so start with that, because there are multiple ways of doing what you want to do by scripting it

#

the big red/blue/green/purple dot

#

so you have two zeus right?

#

or more

#

For the next mission that is done im going to get assisted by one. I usually add their units manually by the add editble objects with zeus enhanced but wondering if there is a way for it to automatically happen

see, this is an event handler that will automatically fire if an entity is created on the server, then it will add as editable for all curators

How would one go about finding the names of a certain object placed on a map? I'm looking to place down Livonia trees, but can't find their names to input into the create3DENEntity command. I cannot use mods such as O&T, as they seem to create a dependency

#

You can only create them if they have a class and afaik most vegetation objects don't have one

slow stone
#

I have found some mods that do it for trees found on Altis and Stratis without creating dependencies (Eden Expanded Objects, they all have names like t_tree_type_F, but I didn't get it to work for Livonian trees)
There are also such trees manually placed around in the First Contact scenario, would that not require them to have a class name?

Awesome, that works, thanks for your help

Does anyone know which mod the truck on this screenshot comes from? I couldn't find ANYTHING in terms of mods for Polish modern logistics, so the support would be welcome.

(sorry if this isn't the right channel, I couldn't find where else to post this.)

Hi guys, I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I have a mission created with custom scripts and 6 entities. When I launch it on the dedicated server, as people start joining, the server begins to experience desync that keeps getting worse until it eventually crashes. We've tried removing everything but nothing has worked, and we can't find the cause of the issue.
Is there any way to optimize the scripts or figure out what's actually going on? Any help is welcome — if you need the PBO, I can send it to you.

On the server, this message appears when people start joining:
22:15:38 Server can't keep up, too many incoming network messages. Remaining in queue: 80872

Hey guys, do we have any simple solution for blocking 3rd person ONLY for crew ? I want operators to have a change to enjoy ride from the 3rd person, but when group gets in contact, crew have to be locked only in 1st person. I need that for 60+ players event. Without simple solution, I'm forced to block 3rd person for vehicles as the whole.

Thanks for ideas guys 🙏
